2012 Jeep Wrangler complaints

OIL COOLER BROKE AND STARTED LEAKING AFTER THE COLD TEMPERATURE IN OKLAHOMA ON 2/14/21

MY JEEP IS NOW STALLING MID DRIVE WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL. 3 TIMES IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP AND GO AROUND ME. I'VE HAD 2 MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND NEITHER OF THEM CAN FIND AN ISSUE. RPMS GO TO ZERO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IT IS TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. OUTSIDE OF THOSE 3 TIMES IT'S HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TURNING ONTO A STREET OR INTO A PARKING LOT - THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHAT WILL TRIGGER IT. I'VE READ QUITE A FEW FORUMS WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY!! I WENT FROM FEELING CAREFREE IN MY JEEP TO KEEPING BOTH OF MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL WHILE MAKING ANY TURN AND BEING CONSTANTLY TENSE. PLEASE PLEASE ANNOUNCE A RECALL AND FIX THIS!

THE OIL COOLER FAILING, LEAKING. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT MY OIL COOLER IS LEAKING FROM A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND AND MY LOWER ENGINE FULL OF OIL. I GOT NO WARNING LIGHT. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A NOTICABLE PUDDLE I WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT. IF NOT MY MOTOR WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND NO OIL IS ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED. IF IT WAS A HERE AND THERE INCIDENT, IT WOULD B DIFFERENT. BUT IT'S A VERY BIG PROBLEM. IN THE PHOTO LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. IT'S A PUDDLE OF OIL. THE PRICE OF OIL IS NOT CHEAP. NEITHER IS THE TIME CONSUMING AND COST OF THE REPAIR. PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND IT THROWS CODE B1B02 DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT OPEN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED JEEP'S OF THE SAME YEAR ONLY LEFT SIDE DRIVE WERE RECALLED. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE SETTING STILL BUT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING.

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2012 JKU WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE RUNNING. I HAVE A 18 MONTH OLD THAT RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT AND THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THAT I HAVE FELT VERY UNSAFE FOR HIS LIFE AND MINE. I HAVE REPLACED 2 BATTERIES AS I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE. NOW I AM SURE IT IS THE TIPM IS FAULTY. MY JEEP HAS UNDER 60K MILES ON IT. CHRYSLER/FIAT NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL ON THESE AS THEY ARE JUNK AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE SO BAD AS THEY ARE THE BRAIN OF THE SUV. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY ON CITY STREET, TURNING, AND HIGHWAY RAMPS.

2012 JEEP WRANGLER JK CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY, CIRCUIT IS OPEN CAUSING AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND POSSIBLE ISSUES DEPLOYING AIR BAG IN EVENT OF A CRASH. SAME ISSUE AS PREVIOUS MY JKS. AIR BAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED, SOMETIMES STAYING ON OR TURNING BACK OFF. ALSO SEEMS TO BE HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY DURING COOL WEATHER (LESS THAN 60 DEGREES F).

CAR COMPLETELY DIES WHEN SITTING IDLE. I BELIEVE THE CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY AND I HAVE HEARD MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. MY 15 MONTH OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME TO BE SITTING AT A MAJOR STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIE. I WAS SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND SCARED FOR MY SON'S SAFETY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE JEEP DIES ALL OF THE RELAYS START ENGAGING AND THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED CHECKED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES EITHER. PLEASE CREATE A RECALL FOR THIS SO MY FAMILY WILL BE SAFE WHEN I DRIVE THEM AROUND.

OIL LEAKING OFF TOP OF ENGINE. CRACKED PLASTIC PART CAUSED OIL TO LEAK OUT ON ENGINE AND EXHAUST CREATING A BURNING SMELL AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE FROM JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

OIL LEAKING FROM ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT WAS GETTING ON THE EXHAUST AND COULD START A FIRE. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS WEBSITE, FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A PLASTIC PART ON TOP OF THE ENGINES USED BY JEEP AND CHRYSLER. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS TO COME ON EVERY TIME I'M IN MOTION AND TURNS OFF WHEN I'M AT FULL STOP. I LOOKED AT THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICES AND SEEMS I HAVE INCOMPLETE RECALL REGARDING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG.

CLOCKSPRING GOING OUT , CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL AND HORN NOT WORKING PLUS NO PART AVAILABLE UNDER THE PART # 05156106AC. NOW TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T CLEAR.

AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. EVERYTHING SAY CLOCKSPRING ISSUE FROM ALL I HAVE READ ONLINE. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, LEFT HANDED MODELS NOT COVERED.

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE LOOSES POWER AND VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING THIS PROCESS, AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS LIGHT GOES OUT AND ENGINE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES SOMETIMES ON STARTUP SOMETIMES STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND OTHER WHILE DRIVING.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH BRAKES NOT RESPONDING .THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND ONLY WAY WAS TO PULL OUT OF ROAD AND JAM BRAKES AND DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE TO PARK IN A MOMENT TO AVOID ACCIDENTS OR ME DRIVING OF THE SIDE ROAD . THIS WAS REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING CAME BACK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I ALWAYS DONE MY SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP AND APPARENTLY SUPPOSEDLY NOTHING HAS BEEN REPORTED OF THIS NATURE.IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ON CRUISE CONTROL WITH HAVING A SPEED OF IT'S OWN BUT BRAKES ARE NOT RESPONDING NORMALLY. HOPEFULLY CAN ADDRESS ASAP LUCKY I'VE BEEN WORKING FROM HOME BUT I SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS ATTENTION ASAP.THANKS MB

THE LIFTERS (HEADERS) HAVE GONE BAD. INCREDIBLE TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE IN DRIVE AND IDLE. AS RPMS INCREASE THE TICKING IS LOUDER. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADERS. I HAVE READ A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA PAGE REGARDING THIS AND ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS ALL OVER JEEP FORUMS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 ENGINES ... WHY IS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF.

JEEP LOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD AND THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. IVE HAD TO STOP AND PULL BATTERY POWER TERMINAL OFF MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESET IT. THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES THEN ALL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES START FIRING. JEEP WILL NOT RESTART. DEBATING SELLING IT AND GETTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A JEEP PRODUCT. BATTERY IS GOOD AND ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. I HAD BOTH CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY JEEP AS WELL.

MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STARTED VIOLENTLY POPPING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT IS VERY RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE MAKING IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. I COULD BE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN/ LIGHT OR PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE INTO TRAFFIC AND MY SHIFTER WILL SUDDENLY JUMP OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER. THERE IS A LOUD SOUND AND A FEELING OF SCRAPING LIKE THE GEARS ARE BEING STRIPPED. THE STEERING ALSO GETS VERY SHAKY EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS (APPROX 40 MPH) IN THE SAME WAY IT WOULD AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN IN NEED OF A HIGH SPEED BALANCE. THIS IS MY 3RD JEEP WRANGLER, ALL OF WHICH HAVE HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (A 1989, 2004 AND THIS 2012). I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES AND SPORTBIKES SINCE 1989 FROM TOYOTAS AND HONDAS TO VOLKSWAGENS TO SUZUKIS AND YAMAHAS AND I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS, NEVER EVEN BURNED OUT A CLUTCH, SO I CAN RULE OUT DRIVER ERROR. I PURCHASED THIS 2012 BRAND NEW AND HAD IT BUILD TO MY SPECIFICATIONS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AVAILABLE IN THE DEALER INVENTORY. I HAVE FOUND THAT 1000S OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE, NARROWLY ESCAPING SERIOUS COLLISIONS WHEN THE CARS JUMP OUT OF GEAR AND LOSE POWER. JEEP LOVERS ARE LOYAL AND SUPPORT THE BRAND. IT WOULD BE NICE IF CHRYSLER WOULD BE LOYAL TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE FLAWS IN THEIR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, RECALL T

MY JEEP WILL RANDOMLY JUST SHUT OFF WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT OR STOPPED AT A LIGH. IF I TURN THE KEY IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES. I HAVE HAD IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG .

ENGINEERING DEFECT I HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL PAN ON THE TRANSMISSION I FOUND THAT THE CONDENSATE FROM THE AIR CONDITION WAS DRAINING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RUNNING DOWN TO THE CORNER OF THE OIL PAN AND ROTTING THE PAN OUT. WILL SEND PICTURES I SENT THIS COMPLAINT IN BEFORE BUT DID NOT HEAR FROM YOU.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, HORN DOESN'T WORK, RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK. I'M SURE IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING BUT ACCORDING TO RECALLS MINE WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. WORKED PERFECTLY ON WAY HOME FROM WORK, GOT IN A FEW HOURS LATER TO GET DINNER AND NOTHING WORKED, AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HORN WOULDN'T WORK.

I HAD MY DRIVER'S SIDE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP IN 2019 DUE TO RECALL. LAST 2 MONTHS, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF BUT USUALLY ONLY WHEN I AM IN FULL TURN. ON AUG 3, 2020, I NOTICED MY OUTSIDE TEMP WAS READING CELSIUS SO I TRIED TO CHANGE IT BACK TO FAHRENHEIT. BUTTON WAS NOT WORKING. CHECKED MY HORN...NOTHING....CRUISE CONTROL....NOTHING. I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL MAKING CLICKING KIND OF POPPING SOUND. 30 MIN LATER, I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF TWIN FALLS LOCATED AT 1310 POLE LINE RD E, TWIN FALLS, ID 83301, (208) 293-8571 HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,002.

PURCHASE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER JKU USED. PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED. EVERY COMPONENT IN THE PARKING BRAKE SCHEMATIC HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW. PARKING BRAKE PROPERLY ADJUSTED TWICE, STILL UNABLE TO HOLD VEHICLE AT 7 DEGREE INCLINE SLOPED DRIVEWAY. EVEN TRIED OVER-TIGHTENING THE STAR WHEEL ADJUSTER FOR THE BRAKE PADS, STILL DOES NOT HOLD VEHICLE. CONCLUSION, 2012 JEEP WRANGLER JKU IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE FCA DESIGNED PARKING BRAKE, THIS VEHICLE WILL CREATE A CRASH WHEN IT MOVES OUT OF A PARKING SPACE INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF UNDER DESIGNED PARKING BRAKE.

ENGINEERING DEFECT OIL PAN ON TRANSMISSION LEAKING HAD PAN REPLACED AT DEALER THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DO TO RUST. I FOUND DRAIN FROM A/C DRAINS ON TOP OF TRANSMISSION ONTO OIL PAN WHICH RUSTS OUT PAN AS IN PICTURES WATER STAIN ON TRANSMISSION AND PAN FROM A/C CONDENSATE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES I HAVE MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED

AIRBAG WARNING SENSOR IS COMING ON. OTHER 2012 JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN CRUISE CONTROL, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FITZGERALD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LEXINGTON PARK LOCATED AT 22231 THREE NOTCH RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RECALLS WERE UNDER THE VIN AND TO CALL NHTSA TO PLACE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 914.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ON NO MATTER TRYING TO RESET IT OR SITTING IN THE SEAT IT'S JUST BEEN ON AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S FAULTY

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS IN THE DEALER TODAY THE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION DRAIN PAN IS LEAKING THEY CLAIM IT IS FROM RUST THE PAN MAY BE WHITE METAL OR ALUMINUM I ASKED THE PARTS PERSON AT THE DEALER EARLIER IF THEY SOLD A LOT OF PANS HE SAID YES I CHECKED THE FORUM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND LOW MILEAGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I FEEL THE PANS MAY BE THE WRONG MATERIAL FOR THE OIL BEING USED. AND MAY NEED A RECALL ON THE PANS. *TR

CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO GO, INCLUDING HORN, AIR BAG LIGHT, HANDS FREE CONTROLS. MECHANIC AND RESEARCH DONE INDICATES IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING. THIS IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES FROM THIS YEAR.

I PURCHASED THIS 2012 WRANGLER IN 2014 THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE STEERING HAD PLAY SO I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I THEN REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR AND ALL THE END LINKS. IT STILL FOLLOWS THE ROAD INSTEAD OF GOING STRAIGHT. DRIVING THIS JEEP OVER 35 MPH IS SCARY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND EVERY TIME I TOLD THE JEEP DEAL THEY TOLD ME I AM WRONG. I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS STEERING PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE GONE TO OTHER MECHANICS TO NO AVAIL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO JEEP SPECIALISTS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ALL PARTS CHANGERS. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE AT TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS EVERYTHING IS STRAIGHT. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG PLEASE DON'T BLOW THIS OFF,THIS IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS DRIVING AROUND THE JEEP. *TR

EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD EVEN AFTER ADJUSTMENT. I'VE INSTALLED NEW REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND NEW EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES. ADJUSTED THE ADJUSTER CORRECTLY AND STILL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. DESIGN FLAW IN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE PREVENTS IT FROM ENGAGING CORRECTLY. WEAK SPRING NOT DIRECT CABLE ATTACHMENT. NEVER HOLDS AT ALL. MECHANIC STATED IT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND ENTIRE BRAKE MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

OIL HOUSING CRACKED DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, DUE TO AN INTEGRAL PART BEING PLASTIC. ANY OIL CHANGE COULD RESULT IN AN INSTANT $600-$1,000 EXPENSE FOR THE CONSUMER. IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONSUMER TO PROVE THE BROKEN PART WAS DUE TO OIL CHANGE NEGLIGENCE OR OVER-TIGHTENING. THE COST IS ENTIRELY LEFT ON THE CONSUMER EVEN IF ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK IS COMPLETE. THIS HAS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AT FIAT CHRYSLER/JEEP, AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL. I REPLACED THE PART, FOR APPROXIMATELY $600, WITH THE SAME PART. THIS COULD EASILY HAPPEN AGAIN AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, AND EVERY OIL CHANGE THEREAFTER. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GUESS IF THERE WILL BE A $600 REPAIR EVERY TIME I CHANGE MY OIL. *TR

TRANSMISSION FULL OF ANTIFREEZE. INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER (IN RADIATOR) FAILED. CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *TR

BEGINNING OF FEB., LOST POWER ON FREEWAY. WENT FROM 65 TO 40 MPH AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. EXITED THE FWY AND DROVE TO DEALER WHERE I WAS TURNED AWAY DUE TO HIGH VOLUME. LEFT MY JEEP AT THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH THIS ISSUE AND TO CORRECT CAMPAIGN #V51 RECALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T LIT ANYMORE AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT SO I PICKED IT UP. COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I FAILED THE SMOG CHECK I NEED TO REGISTER MY JEEP, AND AN ENGINE CODE SHOWED UP, P0394. I TOOK IT TO OTHER PLACES WHERE THE SAME CODE SHOWED UP AND WAS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. GOING DOWNHILL, MY FATHER EXPERIENCED THE SAME WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP. BEGINNING OF MARCH, OMW TO THE DEALER ON THE FWY, I LOST POWER AGAIN AND THE ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. I SHOWED THE DASHBOARD TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, EXPLAINED THE CONTINUED PROBLEM AND THE CODE SHOWING UP. I LEFT MY JEEP THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED WHEN I PICKED IT UP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE STALLED. I USED GRAVITY TO PARTLY MOVE BACK DOWN AS THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR DRIVING INTO THE LOT. I PUT IT ON "PARK" AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. NO ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME. THIS MORNING I LOST POWER DRIVING TO THE FIRST STOP ON MY STREET (STOP ON MY SIDE ONLY). I HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE T-INTERSECTION BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT. I

BEGAN LEAKING SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER JEEP AFTER USE. TOOK TO HAVE ISSUE INVESTIGATED. MECHANIC FOUND THE INTAKE GASKET ON REAR OF INTAKE CAUSING THE ISSUE. ESTIMATED COST TO FIX $600+ THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS JEEP, THUS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER DRIVE TRAIN WARRENTY OR A RECALL AS THIS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE.

I HAD RECALL PERFORMED ON JEEP BY BOB MOORE CHRYSLER IN TULSA. AFTER THEY DID SERVICE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN LESS THAN TWO DAYS. WHEN WE TOOK JEEP BACK TO THEM THEY SAID IT WAS THE SPRING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR REPAIR. I CONTACTED JEEP' S CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY YEAR JEEP HAD A RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SPRING BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ON HERE SO IT COULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LISTING.*DT

EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD EVEN AFTER ADJUSTMENT. I'VE INSTALLED NEW REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND NEW EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES. ADJUSTED THE ADJUSTER CORRECTLY AND STILL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. DESIGN FLAW IN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE PREVENTS IT FROM ENGAGING CORRECTLY. WEAK SPRING NOT DIRECT CABLE ATTACHMENT. NEVER HOLDS AT ALL.

I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT FOR THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE HAD A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP. TODAY I RECEIVED A LETTER INDICATING THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE MIGHT NEED REPROGRAMMING. INTERESTING ENOUGH THIS WENT BAD ON MY 2012 JEEP A YEAR AGO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER MY ENGINE FAILED. NOW THAT I SEE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM NEEDING REPROGRAMMED IT MADE SENSE WHY A JEEP WITH BARELY 90,000 MILES WOULD HAVE AN ENGINE THAT FAILED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT I WAS NEVER ROUGH WITH IT, AND ALWAYS GAVE IT APPROPRIATE OIL CHANGES. IT TOOK ME THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR TO PAY OFF THE COST OF THE NEW ENGINE, AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT A CAR THIS NEW, THERE REALLY ISN'T A GOOD OPTION BESIDES KNUCKLING DOWN AND PAYING FOR THE FIX. I WOULD LOVE TO LOVE MY JEEP AGAIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE, MY JEEP SAT OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT. WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL THE TEMP GAUGE PINGED. I LIMPED IT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP (NO JEEP DEALERS IN MY HOMETOWN) AND EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM. AFTER WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN INITIAL FIX, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAD ACTUALLY FAILED AND I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD IT REPLACED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF THE REPLACEMENT IF NECESSARY.

AFTER REPLACING BATTERY (2 X) AND HAVING ALL BATTERY CABLES THOROUGHLY CLEANED CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT START FROM PARKED POSITION. ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ALL PASS TESTS AS OK. TURNS OUT WIN WIRELESS MODULE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT A LOT OF 2011-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN HAVING. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THIS COST SHOULD COME OUT OF OUR POCKET. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM ALL THE JEEP REVIEWS I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE POSTING WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THERE IS GALVANIC CORROSION FORMING ON ALL OF MY HINGES ON MY VEHICLE. THE STEEL HINGES TOUCHING THE ALUMINIUM DOOR PANEL. YOU CAN SEE THE BUBBLING HAPPENING AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON JEEP WRANGLERS. EVENTUALLY IT WILL RUST AND CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS BEING THAT IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL OF MY DOOR HINGES. I FIRST NOTICED IT IN 2016 AND IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. YOU CAN GOOGLE RUST ON WRANGLER DOOR HINGES AND SEE THE THOUSANDS OF PICTURES OF JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES, OR GO ONTO A JEEP FORUM OR TALK TO ANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNER. I CAN PROVIDE MY OWN PICTURES IF NEEDED I DIDN'T TAKE ANY YET.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILURE. REPAIRS MADE TO WIRING, AND REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT INSTALLED. LAMP STILL ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. AFFECTING LOW LIGHT VISIBILITY. POTENTIALLY AN ISSUE WITH TIPM WHICH HAS LEAD TO OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING. HAS CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE, AND CONTROL FAILURE IN OTHER VEHICLES. HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, STATIONARY, MOVING, FWD, REVERSE, TURNING, ETC.

ATTEMPTED TO START MY JEEP ON THE STREET PARKING AND THE ALARM WENT OFF, HORN BLARING, WIPERS AND FLUID ON CONSTANT, ALL LIGHTS FLASHING, REVERSE LIGHTS ON, AND IT WOULD NOT START. PULLED THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND SENT IT OUT FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE TIPM WAS IN COMPLETE FAILURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT 2007-2015 TIPMS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND IT WAS REJECTED.

JEEP STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN A CITY ROAD, TIGHTENED LOSE SWAY BAR, BUT A COUPLE WEEKS LATER NOTICED VIOLENT SHAKING AGAIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED HOME. WILL NOT DRIVE AS I AM TERRIFIED OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH.

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP-LIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (BUT NOT ON EVERY OCCASION), THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE IN MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT HAS STALLED, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE & COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER-STEERING & HYDRAULIC BRAKE-POWER. TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I MUST SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISRUPTIVE WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (FOR INSTANCE WHEN THE RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN WHILE I'M SLOWING). FURTHERMORE, THE ENGINE FREQUENTLY STALLS AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOTS AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED.

NOTHING ON STEERING WHEEL WORKS. NO HORN NO STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS NOTHING. APPARENT CLOCKSPRING FAILURE AS MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SINCE EARLY NOVEMBER OF 2019, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" FOUR SEPARATE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TURN LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING AND THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STEADY AND BRAKE SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED WHEN IT SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. MOSS BROS. CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (27810 EUCALYPTUS AVE, MORENO VALLEY, CA 92555, (855) 999-8991) STATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COST AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

DRIVING HOME EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH STARTED BLINKING, NO RPM, NO SPEEDOMETER. BLINKERS DID NOT WORK. WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, PARKED AND I TURNED THE KEY BUT JEEP DID NOT TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY KEY OUT AND THE JEEP STAYED RUNNING FOR A MINUTE THEN TURNED OFF. JEEP WOULD NOT RESTART.

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING OR ACTING AS IF ITS GOING TO CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE JERKING MOTION. IT ALSO POWERS OFF AND WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL 3-5 MINUTES LATER REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR IT'S IN. THIS VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND HAS EVEN CAUSED ME TO BE STUCK IN THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND I ALSO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC RECEIPTS THAT CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN THEY INSPECT IT. HOWEVER, ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS WATCHING CHANNEL 4 NEWS AND THEY REPORTED A RECALL FOR 2011-2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DURANGOS FOR ENGINE STALLING ISSUES RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. I ALSO FIND AN ARTICLE ONLINE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL (HTTPS://WWW.USNEWS.COM/NEWS/US/ARTICLES/2019-11-21/JEEP-DODGE-SUVS-RECALLED-DUE-TO-RISK-OF-ENGINES-STALLING). I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.
