2015 JEEP WRANGLER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

I have been working with multiple mechanics to diagnose an intermittent and unpredictable stalling issue with my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon Unlimited, VIN [XXX] . I have conducted the following repairs to attempt to fix the issue: 1. Rebuilt Transmission 2. Replaced throttle body 3. Replaced PCV 4. Replaced crankshaft sensor 5. Replaced camshaft sensor 6. Replaced Fuel Pump 7. Replaced fuel pump fuse 8. Replaced fuel pump relay fuse Mechanic and I have traced the problem to a likely fault in the TIPM. Due to unpredictability of stalling this has become a safety issue as the car will stall in traffic. Most often between 35-40 mph and below 2000 RPM...this is always while driving and is unsafe for both me and my fellow motorists. Most recent date is noted later in this form. If requested, I can provide receipts for professional repairs noted above, and receipts for parts...

I have experience a complete loss of control of the vehicle on both highways and streets that are bumpy due to dips, potholes, rough conditions due to the road. I received a misfire on cylinder 4 code P0304 and was told my vehicle isn’t covered for any recalls, but see that this is a common issue in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017 models. I want to know if any recalls or lawsuits are going on because my dealership informed me there aren’t any and it would take a week to even be able to diagnose the issue.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSES PROPULSION; THE RPMS GO TO ZERO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL AND ACCELERATION IS REGAINED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE IS GIVEN. THIS OCCURRED RANDOMLY FOR THE LAST YEAR. IN JUNE OF 2020 I TOOK IT TO JEEP DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT NO CODE WAS GIVEN. THEN IN DECEMBER OF 2020 THE ISSUE BECAME WORSE TO WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND NOT REGAIN POWER UNLESS RESTARTED. ON ONE OCCASION IT WOULD NOT RESTART, LEAVING ME STRANDED. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ALSO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE SYMPTOMS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE RELATED TO A FUEL PUMP RELAY, BUT THAT PART IS NOT REPLACEABLE ON MY JEEP. THEY SAID THAT OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT...

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP SHUTS OFF. IT IS HARD TO STEER AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. IT DOES NOT THROW A CODE SO THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX IT.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING WORK FROM THE AIR BAG RECALL MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I WOULD HOLD A STEADY THROTTLE AND IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED UP. IT WOULD LAST FOR A FEW TO SEVERAL SECONDS AND SLOW DOWN TO A POINT LESS THAN THE STEADY THROTTLE. WHEN I WOULD USE CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE WOULD VARY IN SPEED BY FIVE TO SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A CHANGE FROM THE WAY IT OPERATED PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I USED INJECTOR CLEANER THROUGH SEVERAL TANKS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONDITION WAS LIMITED TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT OF REVVING THE ENGINE WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF DUE TO THIS UNCONTROLLABLE REV. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRY OF ANY SUCH ISSUES FOLLOWING THE AIR BAG...

TWICE, END OF MAY 2019 AND FEBRUARY OF 2020 I HAD SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES DONE AT SAME DEALER. BY THE END OF THOSE DAYS, JEEP WOULD NOT RUN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND WOULD BARELY START, NOT RUN. BOTH TIMES TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP, BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD A BROKEN VALVE SPRING AND VALVE COVER HAD LEAKED OIL INTO IGNITION SYSTEM. VALVE SPRING/COVER WORK COVERED, TUNE UP AND REDOING IGNITION SYSTEM NOT...? WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT DEALER. THIS TIME(2/2020) TOWED IN, TOOK SIX DAYS TO BE TOLD BROKEN VALVE SPRING/VALVE COVER BUT ALSO A DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO TOLD CYLINDER HEAD ON BACK ORDER, COULD BE MONTHS. VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS SCHEDULES, DON'T DO TRACTOR PULLING WITH IT, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECTIVE, JUST LIKE THE BAD RADIATORS OR HEATING SYSTEM GOOPED UP WITH SAND....

STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. CAR STATIONARY. OUT OF NOWHERE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN AND RUNS INTO AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK THAT IS PASSING THROUGH IN INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO STOP FORWARD THRUST BY PUTTING BOTH FEET ON BRAKE, TAKING OUT OF GEAR WHICH WOULDN'T BUDGE, THEN PULLING UP ON HAND BRAKE. AFTER HITTING BACK TRAILER WHEEL OF TRUCK AND JEEP RAISING BACK END OFF GROUND FROM IMPACT ACCELERATION STOPPED AND ENGINE IDLED.SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MANUFACTURER DEFECT. ACCIDENT STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BY INSURANCE COMPANY. JEEP TOWED TO BODY SHOP.

MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DUE TO A RUPTURED FUEL LINE SPEWING FUEL ONTO THE NEARBY PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, A FLUID WAS ON FIRE DRIPPING DOWN FROM BELOW THE FUEL TANK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE FIRE GOT TO THE ENGINE BAY AND MELTED ALL THINGS PLASTIC. I WENT TO THE SALVAGE YARD THE NEXT DAY TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE GONE. UPON COMPARING THEM WITH ANOTHER JEEP WRANGLER JKU WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE TWO PLASTIC-LIKE LINES SHOW THE POTENTIAL OF RUBBING TOGETHER AND CAUSING THE LINES TO EVENTUALLY RUB OPEN. WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY, THIS IS A REAL POTENTIAL DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

FUEL BLOW BACK WHEN FILLING IT, AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS. NOT ABLE TO FILL AT NORMAL RATE. I HEAR FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT COULD BE THEIR BALL IN CAGE FILTER DESIGN, OR O RING GASKETS.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4 DOOR 4X4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON.. . I WROTE UP A REPORT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO--BUT I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE BETTER NOW...SO, MY JEEP BASICALLY CONKS OUT--OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS...AND RE-STARTS IN ABOUT 1 SECOND...AT LEAST IT FEELS LIKE IT CONKS OUT--ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS THEY DO WHEN I FIRST START THE JEEP...BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON--DOES NOT BLINK AND IT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN...ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT TURN ON...I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES...AND I HAVE RUN AN OBDII DIAGNOSTIC--THE FUSES ARE FINE AND THE DIAGNOSTIC FINDS NOTHING WRONG I HAVE READ THAT THIS ISSUE IS OCCURING FREQUENTLY ON JEEP RENEGADE AND DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ON STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS...WHILE GOING STRAIGHT AND WHILE...

VEHICLE, IN MOTION, ON HIGHWAYS, AND STREETS, SHUTS OFF. THE LIGHTS GO OUT, SOMETIMES THE RADIO TURNS OFF, THE STEERING GOES OUT, THE GAUGES FALL TO ZERO...THEN, THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE ENGINE BEGINS OPERATING AS USUAL. IT FEELS AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS TURNED OFF THE KEY AND THEN TURNED THE KEY BACK ON.

2015 WRANGLER JKU SPORADIC STALLING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WAS RECENTLY SERVICED FOR OIL CHANGE AND SOFTWARE UPDATE. ALSO STALLED WHILE JEEP WAS IDOL FOR 20 MINUTES BUT ABLE TO RESTART IT. WHEN IT STALLED...INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AND JEEP STALLS. CAN RESTART IN HOUR WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE STALLING AFTER TESTING FOR 10 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. DROPPED OFF AT DEALER AGAIN THIS MORNING.

2015 JEEP WRANGLER ONLY HAD 10,000 MILES CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED TOTAL LOSS JUST PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AT RESIDENCE

DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AROUND 2PM. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR A SOLID HOUR ON THE SAME HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE GAS PEDAL PROCEEDED TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHILE I TAPPED AND PRESSED PUMPING MY BRAKES. I RECALL AN INITIAL ODD FEELING UNDERFOOT PRIOR TO THE CLIMBING ACCELERATION. I FELT THE PEDAL PULL AWAY DIRECTLY AFTER I FELT A VIBRATION UNDERFOOT. I WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL NOR WAS IT ENGAGED . THE ENGINE WAS CYCLING LOUDLY AND THE RPM GAUGE WAS CLIMBING IN THE RED, I HAD NO CAR MAT IN PLACE BECAUSE I SPILLED A PROTEIN SHAKE A WEEK EARLIER AND IT STILL SMELLED. I STILL CHECKED VISUALLY TO SEE IF SOMETHING SOMEHOW WAS OBSTRUCTING THE PEDAL. I HAD MY HANDS ON THE TOP OF THE WHEEL PER USUAL COMFORT SPOTS. I WAS LIKE, WAIT...WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?? I HAD TO PRESS...

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES WHEN GOING UPHILL. DEALER CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO READ THE CODE IF ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON. HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. ONCE, DEALER REPLACED A SINGLE ENGINE COIL AFTER READING A P300 MISFIRE CODE. ENGINE LOSES POWER AND FREEWAY SPEED BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EVEN AFTER CRESTING HILL AND DRIVING ON LEVEL SURFACE. *TR
