I am reporting a defect with the driver-side sun visor on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The sun visor mounting mechanism is faulty and has broken/detached during normal use. When this occurs, the visor drops down unexpectedly and obstructs the driver’s forward view.

Rear side windows on 2019 jeep wrangler blew out while at highway speeds, even when installed properly. On our jeep, the window didn't completely fall out, so it was disconnected and was hanging. Others I have known have lost their windows on the highway and had to wait weeks or months for replacement windows because there aren't enough available to dealers.

I noticed during colder time the windshield was not defrosting the edges of the windshield. I took it to the dealer to have them check my defroster, They claim it is working as intended. So I just let the windshield defrost more before driving.

Driver's side sun visor attachment to roof fails unexpectedly causing visor to fall and obstruct driver's vision. Jeep is well aware of the problem and has failed to provide a reliable fix or repair. My visor has been replaced twice already and failed for the third time yesterday.

It was a bight sunny afternoon when I was driving my new 2019 jeep home from the dealer, with only 39 miles on the motor, I pulled down the sun visor while driving to block the sun...the visor fell out of the mounting bracket, hanging by the wire connecting the lights for the mirror, blocking about 3/4 of the windshield, and obstructing my view while driving 100%.

Both the driver and passenger sun visors fall out of the mounting sockets while driving or if a small bump is hit. When visors fall down it blocks almost half of the drivers visibility and forces the driver to either try to push it back into the 'clip' or socket while driving, or pull over and try to push it in.

The far driver and passenger sides of the windshield do not defrost in sub freezing weather. The windshield defrost duct vents are not adequate to force hot air to either side of the center vent. This results in windshield and wiper icing over in temperatures below ~20° F causing drastically reduced visibility 12 or more inches from each side of the windshield.

The front windshield defrost doesn’t work as it should. The windshield will ice up on the driver side and passenger side and create major visibility issues. The blower only seems to blow heat to the center of the windshield and not the sides

The defrost is absolutely terrible. Both left and right vents do not push air causing the right and left side of the windshield to freeze up and windshield wipers to freeze up. Had to pull over in an unsafe location because visibility went to zero and created a very unsafe situation for me and my family.

It was either dec 9 or 21 2020. I was going to an appointment, it was sleating and snowing so I had the defroster on full blast heat all the way up. Both passenger and drivers side of the windshield was building up with ice.

Both the driver and passenger side sun visors detach completely if the car hits a bump, pothole, speedbump etc...causing the vision of the windshield to become obstructed until the visor is moved out of sight. This appears to be due to a faulty plastic retention washer that becomes dislodged.

The windshields on the jeep wranglers continue to be a bane of owners everywhere. They are much too easily chipped, cracked, and damaged otherwise because of the terrible lack of rake and aerodynamics to reflect small objects harmlessly off them like most other autos. They are also a visibility hazard as they attract so many bugs that cannot be easily washed off with the conventional wipers/fluid.

The vehicle has LED headlights, driving at night during any type of snow, the headlights become completely covered and their is no light coming from the headlights, forcing me to pull off the road and clear the snow repeatedly. This is dangerous.

Windshield chips easily. While driving into work at speeds around 35mph a small chip occurred extremely easily. I am not one to follow close behind people and in 16 years of driving have never had a cracked windshield.
