When parked, i tried to lock car using key fob, which armed the alarm but did not lock the doors.

Separately, after leaving this parked spot, i tried using the windshield washers while driving to clean the windshield, but the sprayers did not work. Only the wiper blades activated. After a…

The paint along the top of the car windshield is bubbling up, rusting, peeling across the top of the windshield line. It continues progressively to get worse all along the top of the windshield. We had a few car repair centers look at the car- they had to have multiple people come out and look at it because they had never seen anything like it. They said the paint was extremely thick on the roof and along the…

I told him it's the brake booster and showed him a video to prove it.…

Last few days were extremely hot in the north east.my car was parked in an open parking lot over the weekend and the front windshield developed a crack due to extreme hot weather. The dealer and manufacturer (fiat/chrysler) told me the standard warranty expires after a year. I am in the process of getting it replaced thru my insurance company. I suspect this to be a manufacturing defect of the tempered glass.

In my 2012 jeep grand cherokee overland model with a leather dashboard, the leather material has separated from the dashboard and is affecting the winter performance of the front windshield defroster by partially blocking the air vents. This presents a safety hazard that will only get worse with time until jeep issues a recall to fix or replace the faulty dashboards on these vehicles.

The leather dashboard is shrinking and coming unglued from the dashboard frame. The defroster vents are now affected and being pulled by the disintegrating leather. I am concerned that since the dashboard coating is no longer affixed to the car, the dashboard will be ripped off and become a projectile if the airbags inflate. The problem exists all the time but the threat exists most when car is in motion.

The side view mirrors are an obstruction of the driver's view when turning into spiraling parking lots. The mirrors are so large, (larger than necessary to see what is on the side of the vehicle) that i have to sit forward and look around the mirror or above the mirror, or below the mirror to see the line in the street. It is very hard to see where the lines are when driving into a parking space or an atm machine. I…
