2009 Jeep Wrangler Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DRIVER'S SIDE (LEFT) EXTERIOR SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. MIRROR FELL INTO ROAD WAY POSING A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS. UPON RECOVERING MIRROR I FOUND THAT THE STRUCTURAL BASE THAT ATTACHED THE MIRROR TO THE BODY WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AWAY AND IT BROKE WHERE AN ATTACHING BOLT AFFIXED THE MIRROR TO THE MOUNT NOT AT THE POINT THE MOUNT ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. MY SELLING DEALER COVERED THIS UNDER OUR CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. BUT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BOTH TO THE OWNER AND OTHERS AROUND THE VEHICLE OR OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP QUICKLY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RAINED OUTSIDE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS WATER IN THE VEHICLE ALONG THE FRONT AND BACK FLOORBOARDS. THE CARPET WAS CONSTANTLY WET WHICH CAUSED HER FEET TO SLIP OFF OF THE PEDALS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THEY SPRAYED WATER, REPLICATED THE LEAK, AND REPLACED SEALS; NONE OF THE REPAIRS PREVENTED THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,600. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,400.
