2013 JEEP WRANGLER Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that after her husband had arrived at his destination, upon returning to the vehicle and attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was eventually able to restart and returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The contact stated that the failure seemed to occur after driving the vehicle for longer than 45 minutes to one hour. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure Safety Recall J30. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 92,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that it felt as if the transmission had seized. The contact stated that the RPM was revving however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that during a state inspection, the contact was informed that the passenger’s side rear axle shaft seal was leaking. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

When driving approximately 45 mph and above the entire car starts to violently shake. I don't know what part causes this problem. I've heard it could be : steering damper, ball joints, tie rods, track bar, front suspension damper cause this. IDK. Until I can afford to take it to a service shop and get it checked and repaired, it sits parked because I'm afraid to drive it. This started about a month ago. Jeep (Stellantis) should be recalling and repairing ALL Wranglers with this problem not just newer models. My car has LOW miles but somehow got excluded from the lawsuit settlement apparently which is going by model years. This is a safety issue.

The oil cooling housing. There was sludge around it and the lines from below the jeep ruptured. causing oil to leak all over the transmission bell. This caused smoking and over all engine. My dad a certified ASE mechanic has looked at it multiple times and fixed various components related to the cooling/heating system.

ABS and check engine light. I am a rural mail carrier, because my ABS light is on it causes my jeep to not accelerate pulling away from mailboxes therefore putting myself and other drivers at risk. The problem has been reproduced at the dealer. Warning lights illuminated at 19687 miles and are still on to this day, no resolution from Jeep. Jeep engineer came to dealership and could not say what was wrong with vehicle.

DRIVING APPROX 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY. RPM JUMPED THEN CAR LOST POWER. WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST NEUTRAL AND UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY. AUTO DOOR UNLOCK FAILED. VEHICLE WAS EVACUATED AND THEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEED.

I WAS LEAVING A GROCERY STORE AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE BUSY MAIN ROAD MY JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STALLED WITH NO WARNING NO LIGHTS IT JUST DIED IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER 20 MINUTES IT THEN STARTED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE PERSON BEHIND ME COULD HAVE HIT ME IF THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHERE IT WOULD STALL OUT OF NO WHERE BUT THEN I COULD TURN THE KEY AND IT WOULD START. I AM TERRIFIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AFRAID IT WILL DO THAT AGAIN AND HARM ME OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

I WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AT 60MPH DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO WENT OFF, THE ENGINE WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES. EACH OCCURANCE WAS THE SAME. RAN FINE AFTER THAT FOR 30 MINS. HAS NOT REOCCURED. TOTAL SHUT DOWN IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEPS.

AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY WHILE BRAKING, THE JEEP WILL LURCH FORWARD/ACCELERATE.

I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET DRIVING 25 MPH , WHEN MY JEEP WRANGLER CEASED IMMEDIATELY. DIFFERENTIAL LEAKED FLUID. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE REAR BRAKE PASSENGER SIDE LEAK WHICH I BELIEVE CONNECTS TO DIFFERENTIAL. I BROUGHT IT TO A TECHNICIAN ATTENTION WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A RECALL AND MENTIONED ITS NOT A PROBLEM. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN MY CAR. COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. LUCKY I WAS NOT ON A HIGHLY DRIVING 70 MPH

CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS TO KICK A LOT GOING FROM GEAR TO GEAR.

THE VEHICLE KEEPS LOSING POWER AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES (PASSING A VEHICLE; IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO SHOULDER; ON A HIGHWAY). I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO 4 ACCIDENTS B/C OF THIS PROBLEM. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE GOES FASTER THAN 70 MPH...POWER IS LOST. IT CONTINUALLY THROWS OFF A CODE OF 0369. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM: REPLACED ABS SYSTEM; REPLACED STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM; REPLACED OIL FILTER HOUSING; REPLACED THE CAM TWICE; SWAPPED THE CAM; REPLACED THE CAM PHASER; REPLACED ALL 4 CAM PHASERS; RE-FLASHED THE PCM; REPLACED THE PCM. TODAY IT GOES IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 10TH TIME TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS A DEATH TRAP TO ALL THAT SHARE THE ROAD WITH IT, NOT TO MENTION EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROADED AND IS WELL MAINTAINED.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE JEEP TO A DENTAL APPOINTMENT DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR. I HEAR A CLING CLUNK SOUND AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN A LOUD BANG AND JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO GO. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY I SMELL A AWFUL SMELL. SO I SHUT MY TRUCK OFF. CALLED MY HUSBAND AND LEAVE MY TRUCK AND GET A RIDE TO DENTAL APPOINTMENT. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I GET A CALL TWO DAYS LATER STATING MY EMERGENCY BREAK SYSTEM HAD FAULTED AND ENGAGED IT'S SELF SNAPPING MY AXEL, SPEED SENSOR AND BREAK ROTOR. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE RIPPED AND EVERYTHING WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EMERGENCY BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ON THE HIGH WAY AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE FLIPPED MY VEHICLE...

I PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE, FOOT ON BRAKE,( ZERO SPEED NATURALLY) AS I STARTED TO MOVE SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE ENGINE ROARED AND JEEP ACCELERATED UP OVER CURB AND ~ 20FT TILL I HIT THE CORNER OF THE LA FITNESS BUILDING ( MY DESTINATION) ALL THE TIME WITH MY FOOT DEPRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE. DAMAGING FRONT BUMPER, GRILL , HEADLIGHT AND WINDSHIELD ON LEFT CORNER (DRIVER SIDE). I DEPLOYED ALL MY STRENGTH TO BRAKE DURING EVENT WITH NO EFFECT, TURNED OFF CAR, AND PUT IT IN PARK. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. 1-10-2019 AT ~ 8:45AM. CARROLTON TEXAS (75007 ) POLICE REPORT # 2019008855, OFFICER ELMORE # 680 FILED ON 1-10-2019. I CALLED HUFFINES JEEP DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF ISSUES WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAD BEEN REPORTED (OFFICER RECCOMEND I CHECK BEFORE I DRIVE TO THEIR REPAIR SHOP) BOB IN CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THE HOT OIL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE RPMS FAILED TO INCREASE. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FOR THE INDICATORS TO DIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FEENY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MIDLAND (7400 EASTMAN AVE, MIDLAND, MI 48642) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE WAS CORROSION IN THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE STARTER WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEABLE FOR TWO DAYS; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS...

I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND IT IS NOW EXIBITING THE SAME ERROR AS BEFORE. THE CLUTCH WILL DEPRESS BUT NOT FULLY DISENGAGE FOR A PRPER AND SAFE SHIFT. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH DOES NOT FULLY DISENGAGE IF THE VEHICLE IA SITTING THE CLUTCH WILL DISENGAGE ON ONE OUT OF THREE PUMPS OF THE CLUTCH.

MY 2013 WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3.5 MONTHS - THE LATEST WAS TODAY AND YESTERDAY. IT STARTS AGAIN AFTER SITTING ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE OTHERWISE. NO LIGHTS GO OFF, IT JUST DIES AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS AS WELL AS HIGHER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO MUCH SINCE NO DASH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE BOUGHT A CODE READER AND NO CODES ARE THROWN. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DOING 65-70 MPH WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE CAR LITERALLY JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! IN SHORT...CAR WAS MOVING THEN SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON.

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS STALLING AND ONCE I GET IT RESTARTED THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK WHEN SHIFTING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT COMING ON SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE REASON I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT STALLED ON ME 5 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN SITTING STILL AND IDOLING. I LOVE MY JEEP AND HAVE WANTED ONE SINCE I WAS A KID. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FOUND ONLINE WHERE...

PLEASE REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V524000. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP. AT TIMES IT WOULD DO A QUICK "CHUG". OTHER TIMES IT HAS STALLED. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES, I WOULD BE ABLE TO START THE JEEP. THIS BEGAN LAST NOVEMBER. THE MOST RECENT STALL WAS AUGUST 20, 2018.

BOTH TIMES MY PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70-75 MPH AND THE SWAY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LAMP WOULD BOTH ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO POWER DERATE MODE AND YOU COULDN'T ACCELERATE. HOOKED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER TO THE VEHICLE AND FOUND CHRYSLER TROUBLE CODES P0369, P2638, AND C121C. HAD TO DO WITH CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND TRANSMISSION TORQUE REQUEST BEING DENIED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON ONLINE JEEP FORUMS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR. THE DEALERSHIP JUST HAD ME GO AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. HOPING TO FIND OUT IF ANYBODY HAD THIS ISSUE AND ACTUALLY GOT IT FIXED. HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR TWICE. ONE TIME WAS THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 7/28/2018 AND THE SECOND WAS ON...

2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAD 72,000 HIGHWAY MILES, NEVER TOWED OR BEAT ON JEEP. WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED VIOLENTLY TO RIGHT AND LEFT MULTIPLE TIMES, ALMOST FLIPPED OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO BELLE TIRE AND FOUND RIGHT REAR AXEL WENT OUT, AFFECTED CALIPERS AND BRAKES ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OUT OF POWERTRAIN, CALLED THEY WONT REIMBURSE SINCE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AT JEEP DEALER. THE CAR ABS/TRACKTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT ON, HARDLY WENT FORWARD DUE TO BRAKES LOCKED UP AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING, ACTUAL RIGHT REAR RIM TOO HOT TO TOUCH, WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE IN GEAR UNLESS GASSED IT. NEVER HAD A WARNING, REAR BRAKES HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED TWO MONTHS EARLIER.

NUMEROUS EVENTS OF SUDDEN STALLING OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED IN DRIVE, AT LOW SPEED IN DRIVE AND REVERSE; CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION INVOLVING NEAR-MISS REAR END COLLISIONS. CAN TAKE UP TO 15 MINUTES TO RESTART ENGINE. ENGINE SOMETIMES APPEARS TO RESTART WITH A TICKING SOUND, HAS NO POWER AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAN'T BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. OTHER TIMES, ENGINE STARTS AND TRANSMISSION CAN BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, BUT GEARS DO NOT ENGAGE. NUMEROUS EVENTS, AS COMMON AS STALLING EVENTS, INVOLVING SUDDEN AND SOMETIMES VIOLENT SHOCKS TO THE DRIVETRAIN, WHICH HAPPEN AT ALL SPEEDS, USUALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS A TIPM ISSUE, WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH SPEED REAR END COLLISIONS BY FOLLOWING VEHICLES, THAT CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA HAVE NOT TAKEN ADEQUATE ACTION TO REMEDY EXCEPT ON LIMITED AFFECTED VEHICLE TYPES. SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION EXISTS ON THIS KNOWN...

NO HEAT! CLOGGED HEATER CORE! GRIT AND SLIME IN DIRTY/DISCOLORED OEM COOLANT (10 YR/150K MILE RATED). NEVER TOUCHED OR ADDED TO, UNLESS UNDOCUMENTED BY DEALER. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE THAT MY WIFE/KIDS USE DAILY, AND IT IS ABOUT 10F HERE IN VT RIGHT NOW. VERY COMMON CHRYSLER ISSUE APPARENTLY AND DEALER DOES NOTHING BUT ATTEMPT TO FLUSH MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE! I AM STILL UNDER 5 YR/100K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE WHEN IS COOLING SYSTEM NOT PART OF POWER TRAIN? HEAT WAS REDUCED LAST WINTER, THIS WINTER VIRTUALLY NONE. DANGEROUS TO CONSTANTLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WITH NO DEFROST! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL

IS NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING IT-WAS TOLD MY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT IS READING AS A SHIFT CONTROL MODULE ISSUE UNDER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING MACHINE- SHOULD BE COVERED BY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY- VEHICLE ONLY HAS 69K MILES- CALLING CHRYSLER JEEP

STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. PRESS ON GAS DOESN'T MOVE. HAPPENS OUT OF NOW WHERE. VERY SCARY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE. I HAVE DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF WRANGLER. MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT AND DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE. MY ISSUE HERE IS THAT WHEN YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAR AND THE DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY KNOWING THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND THIS BELOW LINK WITH THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/JEEP/WRANGLER/2013/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_DIES_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML

VEHICLE FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES MOVING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE A COUPLE OF TIMES. VEHICLE THEN STARTED STALLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. VEHICLE ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP, BUT SOMETIMES DOES NOT CHANGE INTO DRIVE IMMEDIATELY. RESTARTING/SHIFTING INTO MANUAL MODE WORKS. VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED LOSING POWER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERATING CAUSING IT TO JERK SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE DRIVING. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS AT LOWER GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM STOP.

JEEP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY REPLACED THE CPM AND TIPM. ISSUE STILL HAPPENING. LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ASSIST UNLESS IT THROWS A CODE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 01/26/2017*CT *CN

MY NEW TO ME, BUT STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2DR, CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN 250KMS FROM THE JEEP DEALER TO ME, THEN PARKED UNTIL THE EVENING. I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE FOR ABOUT 40KM WITHOUT INCIDENT, PARKED, AND HAD DINNER WITH A FRIEND. AFTER DINNER, I USED THE REMOTE START TO TEST IT, UNLOCKED IT, AND GOT IN AND DROVE OFF. I STOPPED AT A STORE A MINUTE UP THE ROAD, LEFT IT IDLING, AND CAME OUT TO FIND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I PROCEEDED TOWARDS HOME, BUT TWO MINUTES LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, FOLLOWED BY A VERY LOUD BANG, THEN THEN THE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. I WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 10KM/HR IN A NEIGHBOUTHOOD HAVING JUST TURNED FROM A STOP. MY VEHICLE CAME...

WHEN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS BEING PERFORMED AT THE DEALER THE TRANSMISSION CASE BROKE AROUND A PORTION OF THE CASE WHERE ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN BOLTED ON. ONE OF THE MECHANICS COMMENTED THAT THIS PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE APPEARED THIN. THE TRANSMISSION CASE WAS SENT BACK TO THE FACTORY BY THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE OF THE METAL OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THIS BEING A "TRAIL RATED" VEHICLE AND BEING INTENDED FOR EXPOSURE TO OFF ROAD CONDITIONS AND THIS PART FAILURE BEING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS AND, OF COURSE, IF IT WERE TO FAIL IN REGULAR DRIVING. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE COULD LOOSE POWER AND THUS LOOSE CONTROL AND UNDER OFF ROAD CONDITIONS COULD CREATE A VERY PRECARIOUS AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING MY JEEP RUBICON OFF ROAD IN 4WD HIGH AND WAS HEADING DOWN A STEEP SLOP AND WHILE SHIFTING MY 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM 3RD TO 2ND THE GEAR SHIFT ARM PULLED OF ITS MOUNT. DUE TO THE SHIFT ARM ASSEMBLY COMING OFF, I MISSED 2ND GEAR AND ENDED UP STUCK IN NEUTRAL. BEFORE I REALIZED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 20 YARDS FREEWHEELING. DUE TO THE SPEED INCREASE I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES WHICH THEN CAUSED THE JEEP TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND RIDE THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPE WHERE I INVESTIGATED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN HAD TO MAKE TEMPORARY REPAIRS AS I WAS STUCK IN A RAVINE WITH NO EASY WAY OUT. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY REINSTALLED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF...

JEEP RANDOMLY STALLS AND ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. JEEP HAS REPLACED O2 SENSOR, PCM AND TIPM. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE ENGINE WILL QUIT WORKING. PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 45000 MILES AND IS STILL OCCURRING

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS VERY JERKY AT TIMES FOR NO REAL REASON. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND USUALLY SEEM TIED TO TURN ON THE TURN SIGNALS WHICH HAPPEN TO BE ON THE OTHER CONTROL KNOB. LIGHTS WILL DIM ON NAV/RADIO WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON. I WOULD SAY THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUE THAT MUST BE CAUSING THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

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.

TRANSMISSION STALLED ON FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. COASTED OFF OF FREEWAY IN NICK OF TIME. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS DEATH DEFYING EXPERIENCE.

MY JEEP ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY. I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO A SIDE ROAD. 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. IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 6 LANE HIGHWAY, I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THROUGH THE TRAFFIC AND ROLL INTO THE MEDIAN. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN.

WHILE CLIMBING A ROCKY GRADE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, PAUSES AND SLOWS DOWN, THEN SUDDENLY CATCHES AND LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAS BECOME DANGERIOUS AS WE TRAVEL ON NARROW ROADS WITH DROP OFFS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

VEHICLE CLIPPED/RUBBED ON A ROCK ON THE SIDE OF A PUBLIC ROAD WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH IN A NEAR STRAIGHT LINE. NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO WHEELS, TIRES , BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, OR OTHER BRACKETRY. AXLE HOUSING CRACKED OPEN AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AS THE STEERING SYSTEM NO LONGER CAN WORK FROM THIS BREAK. UPON RESEARCH OF THE JEEP WRANGLER JK MODEL AXLE HOUSING FAILURES, THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE FAILURE. MAJOR AUTOMOTIVE PUBLICATIONS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THE KNOWN WEAKNESS AND FAILURES OF THIS AXLE HOUSING AND MANY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES SELL PRODUCTS TO REINFORCE THE AXLE HOUSING. THE DAMAGE TO MY THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE AS OTHERS FOUND ONLINE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN MAY 2015. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. ON APPROXIMATELY AUG. 29, WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP, I HEARD A BANGING NOISE. THE SAME BANGING NOISE HAPPENED ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER (SEP. 3), BUT THIS TIME WHEN TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND INSPECTED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO CHECK IT OUT. I DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH THE DRIVER REAR AND PASSENGER REAR SIDES WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER 3 YEAR 36/000 FACTORY WARRANTY AND I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER PROVIDED A "RECALL REPORT" WHICH CAME BACK CLEAN. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE SEP 3. I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PARTS COME IN FOR REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE COME TOTALLY APART HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGH...

MY JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT TIRE ALIGNMENT . THE RIGHT AND LEFT TIRE WEAR TO FAST ATD THE OUTER SIDE CAUSING POSSIBLE PROBLEM DURING HANDLING ON WET ROADS. I HAVE TAKE THE JEEP TO A SHOP TO BE ALIGN, BUT THE MECHANIC TOLL ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP IS THE CAMBER POSITION AND THESE POSITION IS SET BY THE FACTORY. THE FACTORY DESENT WANT TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THE RELATED COMPONENT. WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUE? *TR

FOLLOWING THE RECALL NUMBER N28/NHTSA 13V-234 AND P61/NHTSA 14V-631 I TOOK MY CAR TO POTAMKIN'S PLANET DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER IN MIAMI FLORIDA 33172 ON MARCH 13, 2015. THEY LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR ONE DAY AND THEY GAVE ME THE RECEIPT STATING "TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE - REPLACE POWER STEERING TUBE, INSPECT TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE, INSTALL PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AND BLEED POWER STEERING SYSTEM" AND ALSO "HEATED POWER SIDE VIEW MIRROR WIRE HARNESS - REPAIR INSTALL NEW MIRROR CONNECTORS AND WATER SHIELDS." I INSPECTED THE CAR MYSELF AFTER PICKUP AND I NOTICED NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ON MARCH 21, 2015 AND I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER, [XXX]. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AGAIN AND, IN FACT, NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE. THEY THEN INSTALLED THE SLEEVE IN THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE ONLY...

WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION TO FUEL UP, I ENGAGE THE PUMP LOCK LEVER SO THE PUMP WILL FILL UP AND SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MY GAS TANK IS FULL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FUEL PUMP DISENGAGES TOO LATE, AND AN UNBELIEVABLY EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL SPURT OUT, CASCADING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE FILLED UP AT GAS STATIONS ACROSS NO LESS THAN 10 DIFFERENT STATES - FROM THE WEST COAST TO THE NORTHEAST; WITH A VARIETY OF FUEL PUMP STYLES; AMID VARIOUS TEMPERATURES; YET THE ONLY VARIATION IS THE VELOCITY WITH WHICH THE FUEL SPRAYS FROM THE PUMP. *TR
