“The driver side sun visor doesn't stay up. This issue first happened about a year ago. I dealt with it for several months before finally buying a new one. Having replaced it once already, I knew this likely wasnt going to be a recall issue, even though thousands of people complain about in Jeep forums every year. Now, 4 months after replacing it, it has failed again. There are multiple things I dont like about this vehicle, but not being able to see out the windshield while driving because the visor is constantly falling down is a serious issue.”

“The driver and passenger visors have both lost the ability to stay flush with the ceiling of the vehicle. With the material of the cloth on the ceiling I have not been able to get any tape to safely secure the visor. The visual area that you are able to see out of the vehicle is greatly impaired. I was quote a $400-$500 repair from the dealership to fix one. When it originally happened to the passenger side. I have uploaded photos of the drivers side how it sits now, pushed forward, and it held flush with how it should stay. I was driving when t adjusted the visor and it lost tension.”

“There's is no alternative to the windshield and Jeep has them on backorder since 2018. It's been over a month and Jeep cannot provide release date. This is a huge safety and visibility issue”

“After 7 months and 7000 miles of ownership, the front windshield cracked. Driving in early sunday morning city traffic a 24 crack developed across the windshield. The crack appears to start at the edge of the glass.”

NHTSA complaint #10925533, filed 2016-11, 7,000 miles

“While I was driving, my sunshade visor fell down as if it were moved to block the sun while I was driving (I did not do it). I immediately pushed it back up because I could not see, it blocked my entire front windshield vision. After pushing it up, it fell back down within minutes. I immediately took it out of the holder and put it to the side. After researching the issue it is a common known issue. Service advisors say they all do that . My question is, why would such a dangerous issue be widely accepted? Is increased chance of accident and death acceptable when it can be fixed? …”
