Power Heated Mirrors Melting - 2018 Wrangler JL

[PEABUDY]

Fiat, folks. As much as we love our Jeeps, these things were already pretty poorly built under Chrysler, and Fiat had taken things to another level. For those who took a chance with the 2.0.... god help you. The 3.6 is basically a Mercedes engine, and you chose a Fiat motor. Queue “Living on the Edge” by Aerosmith!

Kidding! Sort of...

Yep that 2.0 turbo melted the mirror. Turbo envy?

If heat still works the same way it usually does I'd expect the issues to be in top not in the front.

I was talking to my wife about this today as it's her primary vehicle and she said, "ya know I remember driving last week and I smelt something burning." Last week it was cold here and I know those defrosters came on. It has to be from within that mirror. Funny thing is the auto/stop/start is acting up and check engine light came on so I already had an appt Tuesday to get it into dealership. I guess I can add this to the list. I was thinking of running out a buying the gladiator day 1, but I think I'll wait a couple years now. Plus I really think I'd rather have the diesel powertrain.

I was talking to a buddy of mine a few years ago who lives in Europe. He said "People here by Fiats as a car they know they'll be getting rid of in 2-3 years. They are considered throw away cars." So no jealousy at all haha

Seriously, I hope the engine is built well. I don't want any fellow Jeepers having issues.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but mine melted....and it is NOT a power mirror. Probably a sun thing. It happened in April, on Cape Cod. Not exactly the tropics. While there may be some parabolic thing going on, this happened in my DRIVEWAY. None of my cars before ever did this Cheap plastic CRAP.
