2013 JEEP WRANGLER Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED TO WORK FOR THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN TOXIC FUMES EMITTING THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER WERE ACTIVATED, WHICH AFFECTED A CHILD PASSENGER'S BREATHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY ENGINE FAILURES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE SENSORS AND THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PROVIDED NO SOLUTION AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, SMOKE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE AND FLAMES APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT...

2 ISSUES WITH MY 13 WRANGLER UNLIMITED 1ST ... ENGINE TEMP GETS UP TO ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF THE GUAGE. I HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP TWICE AND STILL SAME ISSUES. THEY HAVE REPLACE THERMOSTAT COOLANT FLUSH ECT. THE DEALER CONNOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. I HAVE RESORTED TO ADDING A SECONDARY COOLANT FAN AND IT HELPS A BIT BUT ITS STILL A PROBLEM IVE HAD SINCE A YEAR FATER BUYING IT. 2ND ... THE TRANSMISSION(AUTOMATIC) WHEN GOING UP ANY KIND OF INCLINE IT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT UNTILL ABOUT 6K RPMS. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR THIS ALSO AND DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING THEY CAN FIND.

MY JEEP WAS PARKED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR ABOUT 13 HOURS AND A ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AT AROUND 3AM. IT BURNED HALF THE VEHICLE BEFORE BEING PUT OUT AND TOTALED OUT MY JEEP. IT ALSO DAMAGED THE ENTIRE BACK END OF THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULED THIS WAS A ELECTRICAL FIRE AND NOT ARSON. DAYS BEFORE I NOTICED THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS READING AT 119 DEGREES OUT SIDE WHEN THE TEMP WAS ACTUALLY 99 DEGREES. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT I FOUND IT VERY ODD. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS SOME INVOLVING WORST PROPERTY DAMAGE AND EVEN CASES WITH FATALITIES. I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND GET THESE DAGEROUS VEHICLES OFF THE STREETS ASAP

JEEP RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, NORMALLY LOW SPEED IT WILL CUT BACK ON QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 5-10 MIN FOR A HIGH SPEED CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT THROW ANY CODES AND DEALER CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

SINCE THE SPRING OF 2016, MY JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER IGNITION, AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 20-25 TIMES OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFLASHED THE CONTROL MODULES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TENDENCY TO STALL AT STOP LIGHTS. WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT AND I HAD MY 5 YEARS OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE (STALLING IN REVERSE, AND WHILE IDLING). THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT AWAY, BUT OCCASIONALLY POWER ISN'T AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY (2-3 SECONDS DELAY). JEEP WASN'T AWARE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I CALLED... AND THIS MORNING I LEARNED ABOUT OTHER...

WOKE UP APPROX. 0230 TO FIND MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE LAST TIME THE JEEP WAS RUNNING WAS APPROX. 8PM THE NIGHT PRIOR.

VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AFTER DIFFERENT DRIVING TIMES. THIS TIME I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 5 MINS AND ABOUT 300 YRDS WHEN IT STALLED. IT HAS NOT STARTED 2 TIMES PRIOR WHEN LEAVING WORK. AFTER 10MINS THE VEHICLE STARTED AND I DROVE IT ANOTHER 515 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY DO AFTER THE 5TH TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL ME ONE DAY. IT HAS ALREADY STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

WHEN CHANGING THE OIL . WHEN YOU REMOVE THE OIL FILTER THERE IS A PLASTIC PART ON THE SHAFT IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. THIS IS A VALVE THAT CONTROLS THE OIL IF THE FILTER GETS GUMMED UP THE PRESSER CAUSES THIS VALVE TO OPEN SO THAT THE OIL WILL STILL FLOW IF THE FILTER IS CLOGGED. THIS PLASTIC VALVE BREAKS DURING NORMAL OIL CHANGES. TO FIX THIS 10 CENT PART YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW OIL COOLER UNIT AT THE COST OF $237.00 ALSO TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT YOUR LOOKING AT $800 PLUS FOR A 10 CENT PART. JEEP CHANGED THE OIL COOLING FILTER UNIT IN THE 2014 MODELS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS NOT ONLY IN THE JEEP JK V6 BUT ALSO IN DODGE CHARGERS AND ANY V6 MODELS THAT USE THIS SAME FILTER OIL COOLER UNIT.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 HOUR DRIVE I DO ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND 2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A YELLOW LIGHT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL AND IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO REALIZE IT HAD STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE ONTO A SIDE ROAD. THE POLICE SHOWED UP AND HELPED ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I TRIED TO START IT, APPROXIMATELY 10MINS AFTER STALLING AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I WENT STRAIGHT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, $250.00 AND GOT GOING ON MY WAY HOME - FAT, DUMB AND HAPPY - UNTIL 2 DAYS LATER WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED I WAS ON A BUSY 12 LANE INTERSTATE 95 IN...

I WAITED 5 MINS AND I WAS ABLET TO START IT BACK UP, REPLACED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BATTERY. 3 DAYS LATER WAS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE, 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED VENT ON FIRE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION. I OBSERVED THE FIRE, COMING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I STOPPED, PULLED OUT FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BUT ALL MY ATTEMPTS TO PUT DOWN FIRE FAILED. ENTIRE VEHICLE BURNT DOWN COMPLETELY IN 7-10 MINUTES. INDEPENDENT EXPERTISE, DETERMINE THAT CAUSE OF FIRE WAS LEAKAGE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO MENTION, THAT VEHICLE WERE PURCHASE FROM OFFICIAL JEEP DEALER IN SANKT PETERSBURG, RUSSIAN FEDERATION. COMPLAINT WERE MADE TO ZAO CHRYSLER RUS I CAN SUBMIT POLICE AND EMT REPORTS, FROM THE PLACE OF ACCIDENT. I ASKED MY FRIEND, WHO LIVES IN THE UNITED STATES, SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION, SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW POTENTIAL HAZARDS, WHICH COULD HAPPENED ON THE ROAD, AND PREVENT THEM, SO I WILL BE USING HIS ADDRESS FOR FUTURE MAIL...

AS I BEGIN TO PULL INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HEAR AND SEE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING ALONG WITH THE SKID CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE CAR THEN STALLS LEAVING ME SITTING IN 70 MPH TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP BUT HAS A NOTICEABLE LOSS OF POWER. THIS LOSS OF POWER CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT HOME. WHEN I FINALLY GET HOME I USE A CODE READER WHICH INDICATED IT WAS A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CODE P0344. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE INCIDENT AS THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES LEADING UP TO THIS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED UP YELLING THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I PULLED OVER, SAW THE SMOKE AND THEN THE FLAMES FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FIRE AND RESCUE DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAD JUST HAD THE SAFETY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE MIRRORS LAST MONTH AND MY STATE INSPECTION DONE 4 DAYS PRIOR. IT IS AT THE SHOP CURRENTLY UNDER "INVESTIGATION" BY THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE TWICE FOR REPEATEDLY STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR A COMBINED 56 DAYS. I FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON 1/13/2015, AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED ON 1/9/2015 WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, AND 1/13/2015 WHEN ACCELERATING TO 50 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS CLEARED TO PICK UP ON 1/24/2015 FOLLOWING SERVICE THAT INCLUDED COMPUTER UPDATES, PHYSICAL INSPECTION, AND ROAD TESTING. MY VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 2/5/2015 WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. IN ALL THREE CASES, THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. THEY NEVER DID. ON 3/6/2015, I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL HELP. MY CASE WAS REFERRED TO A SPECIAL...

THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY--IT WOULD RATTLE AND SHAKE JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. IF I TRIED TO JUST ROLL THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY FORWARD, IT WOULD STUTTER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE MANUAL INFORMS TO WAIT A FEW DRIVE CYCLES TO SEE IF IT WILL JUST TURN OFF. PULLED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE (P0306) AND IT WAS A CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE ISSUE. TOOK CAR IN ON 9 DEC 2014 AND THE ENTIRE LEFT CYLINDER COLUMN WAS REPLACED. ON 24 DEC 2014, THE SAME ISSUES BEGAN TO OCCUR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC CODE. CAR WILL BE TAKEN IN ON 26 DEC 2014 FOR SERVICE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. DID THIS 4 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT GOING. GOT DOWN THE ROAD, AND WHEN I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, ENGINE QUIT AGAIN. ALSO JEEP WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, JEEP WENT INTO DRIVE. FROM THERE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPPED THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, NO WARNINGS NO NOTHING. *TR

IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE JEEP WOULD COMPLETELY TURN OFF AT RED LIGHTS OR AFTER COMPLETE STOPS. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON FRIDAY 11/14/14 I WAS GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY LOST SPEED AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF/STALLED, I LOST STEERING POWER. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. THE JEEP DID NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL 45 MINUTES LATER AS I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I WAS AGAIN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS IS NOT DETECTING ANY MALFUNCTION, REALLY??? *TR

THE HILL START ASSIST MALFUNCTIONS CONSTANTLY, THIS CAN STALL THE ENGINE WHEN STARTING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE WARE ON THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH. THERE ARE 2 SWITCHES THAT TELL THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED. ONE WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH AND ANOTHER THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN ALL THE WAY. THE HILL START ASSIST IS PROGRAMMED TO USE THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH INSTEAD OF THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY PRESSED. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO STAY LOCKED UP EVEN AFTER THE CLUTCH IS FULLY ENGAGED WHEN STARTING ON A HILL. THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKES AS SOON AS YOU START TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH PETAL BEFORE THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGES. THE HILL START...

THE AFFECTED PARTS IN MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS THE TRANSMISSION (MILEAGE 27,200). THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR (I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING OR IF I AM ON FLAT AND HILLY ROADS. I WILL HAVE TO PUNCH THE GAS AND ACCELERATE TO 60-65 MPH BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFTS. IT SCARES ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ONLY DRIVING 30-40 MPH. THE RPM'S WILL BE UP TO 5000 AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT GEARS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED FOR THE PROBLEM (APRIL 3, 2014) THE MECHANIC DID HAVE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THEY FOUND A VACUUM HOSE DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR-INLET ELBOW. ONCE THEY FIXED THAT IT SEEMED...

SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE. I CALLED AS SOON AS I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN A MONTH OR SO BECAUSE THE ITEM(S) WERE BACK ORDERED! I AM CALLING APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MONTHS LATER. THE PART(S) IS NATIONALLY BACK ORDERED! I CALLED TODAY, 8/14/2014 AND IT IS STILL BACK ORDERED!!!! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE RISK OF CRASHING?! *TR

CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED MY JEEP: SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234, TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE. MY DEALER LUCAS CHRYSLER AND JEEP, 1624 NEW JERSEY 38, LUMBERTON, NJ 08048, TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER ISSUES ONE PART FOR THIS RECALL EVERY 2 WEEKS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE A LIST OF OVER 25 CUSTOMERS WHO NEED TO HAVE THIS RECALL PERFORMED. AT THAT RATE IT WOULD TAKE ME CLOSE TO A YEAR TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION CORRECTED. I DRIVE 120 MILES/DAY TO AND FROM WORK. THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION IS UNACCEPTABLE. *JS

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE RECALL. WE HAVE WAITED FOR PERHAPS A YEAR FOR THE SPECIFIED PART TO BE DELIVERED TO THE DEALER. I AM NOW FACED WITH MOVING OVERSEAS WITH THE MILITARY AND CANNOT SHIP MY VEHICLE UNTIL ALL RECALLS ARE REMEDIED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES ABOUT THE N28 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE RECALL AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK AT THE DEALER GETTING MY RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. EACH TIME I GO IN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE STATUS AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THE DEALER ONLY GETS 2 KITS IN EACH MONTH. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM IN LINE FOR THE REPAIR BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE I AM IN LINE OR HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THE REPAIR IS EVEN POSSIBLE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES (N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE) FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR NOW BUT EVERY TIME I ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT I GET A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT HOW IT IS CHRYSLERS FAULT THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE PARTS OUT . COME ON NOW, A YEAR? 3 NOTICES AND NO PARTS? *JS

AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FOR A PERIOD OF 24 HOURS, RECONNECTED THE BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL THEN NEGATIVE TERMINAL. TRIED TO START THE JEEP AND DASH READS HOTOIL, CHECK TPM SYSTEM, SWAY BAR LIGHT AND CHECK/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ENGINE WILL NOT START/ EVEN CRANK OVER. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK DOORS. THE LAST THING IS THAT CANT DISARM JEEP SECURITY SYSTEM. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N28/NHTSA 13V-234 FOR THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN OCT. 2013. 5 MONTHS LATER I'M STILL BEING TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT I'M ON A WAITING LIST TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NHTSA'S DEFINITION OF REMEDYING THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME IS, HOWEVER, 5 MONTHS DEFINITELY SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME FOR A RECALL THAT STATES "THE LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". *TR

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A VERY LONG LIST OF CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR A PART TO ARRIVE. THIS DEALERSHIP ONLY GETS 1 PART EVERY 2 WEEKS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NAMES ON THE LIST PRIOR TO MINE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? *TR

RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A RECALL LIN DEC. 2013. SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 12V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE. CALLED DEALER TO SET UP APPT. THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST TELLING ME THEY ONLY RECEIVE 1-2 PARTS A WEEK. CALLED BACK FEB 24, 2014. THEY STILL HAVE NO PARTS. NOW THERE'S NO WAITING LIST NOW. LETTER SAID TO REPORT IT IF IT'S NOT FIXED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, SO HERE'S THE REPORT. DEALER IS CLEAR LAKE JEEP JUST OUTSIDE OF HOUSTON, TX. *TR

THIS PERTAINS TO NHTSA 13V-234. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS BY CHRYSLER IN AUGUST/2013. FINALLY IN NOVEMBER, I WAS ALLOWED TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY CONFIRMED PARTS MUST BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE ORDERED. NOW I AM INFORMED BY THE DEALER AND A PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER, THAT THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW THEIR DEALERS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS ONCE EVERY 14 DAYS. I AM FURTHER INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE DEALER'S LIST SO WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO ORDER 2 REPLACEMENT PARTS PER MONTH, IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE MY JEEP IS REPAIRED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE LOOMING. CAN THIS SAFETY RECALL REALLY BE TREATED THIS WAY BY CHRYSLER? IS THERE SOMETHING NHTSA CAN DO? *TR

RE: SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER STEERING FLUID TUBE WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (BILLY BENDER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH WITHOUT NOTICE THAT THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN TO CHECK ON PARTS. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WAS CURRENTLY 9TH ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER JEEP WAS ONLY SENDING THE DEALER ONE (1) SET OF PARTS PER MONTH SO IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS...

DROVE MY JEEP ABOUT 45 MIN.TO MY SON'S HOUSE TURNED OFF THE KEY GOT OUT OF THE JEEP AND LEFT IT FOR ABOUT 45 MIN. WHEN I CAME BACK TO IT, IT WAS STEAL RUNNING WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET. AND IT WAS COVERED WITH STEAM I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CATCH FIRE WE TRIED TO TURN THE MOTOR OFF BY PUTTING THE KEY BACK IN BUT IT STEEL RAN FOR ABOUT 30 MORE MIN. BEFORE WE PULLED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE OUT. JEEP AND THE DEALER I GOT THE JEEP FROM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ALMOST CALLED ME A LIAR. I AM AFRAID OF THE JEEP AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE FIRE PROBLEMS JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING. BUY THE WAY THE FAN TO KEEP THE ENGINE COOL WAS NOT RUNNING ANY OF THIS TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS JEEP WILL DO...

I WAS REAR ENDED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN FRONT OF ME,WHEN MY JEEP GOT REAR ENDED THE MOTOR SPEEDED UP AS I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I COULD FEEL THE ABS WORKING .ONLY AFTER I HIT THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF GEAR DID MY JEEP STOP. MY ENGINE CONTINUE TO RUN AT A VERY HIGH RPM. ONLY AFTER I SHUT EVERYTHING OFF AND RESTARTED NEED THE ENGINE RUN NORMAL. *TR

BRAND NEW VEHICLE, AFTER 6,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TAKE IT IN, THEY HAVE IT FOR A MONTH, HAD TO REPLACE HEADS. GET IT BACK, NOW AT 50,000 MILES THE HEADS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THEY SAY DRIVE IT. IT WILL CUT OUT OF POWER AND RUN VERY ROUGH, BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS OK. I TALKED TO A MECHANIC THAT WORKS THERE, AND HE SAID IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR THE HEADS AND CANT KEEP UP WITH ALL THE DEMAND. ALL 2013 JEEPS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, MOST JUST GO IN AND THEY FLASH THE CODE, AND SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY. I AM ON A JEEP FORUM, AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS IF IT HAPPENS A THIRD TIME. I DON'T WANT THE SAME DEFECTIVE MOTOR PUT...
