2012 Jeep Wrangler complaints

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, LIKE PASSING A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHICH HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK 4 TO 5 TIMES DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I PULL OF THE ROAD AND RESTART LIMP MODE GOES AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS CODES POPPING UP ABOUT TORQUE MANAGEMENT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESSES BEING AN INTEGRAL PART IF THIS VEHICLE.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT STARTED RAINING I WENT TO USE MY WIPERS THEY DO NOT WORK. MY ESC LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE TIPM. PLEASE ADVISE IF JEEP WITH HELP ME WITH THIS COSTLY PROBLEM

WE USE THIS JEEP ONLY FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL. IT HAS 48,000 MILES. ON OUR WAY TO CHURCH, YES UNBELIEVABLY WE HAD A STRONG SMELL OF 'GASOLINE' ONCE WE ARRIVED BACK HOME THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE BELL HOUSING OF THE TRANSMISSION TO THE GROUND, THIS WAS IN AN AREA ABOUT UNDERNEATH THE FRONT SEATS OR NEAR THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. THIS LEAK OCCURRED ONLY WHILE THE JEEP WAS IDLING. ONCE WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THE GASOLINE STOPPED LEAKING OR RUNNING DOWN THE BELL HOUSING. THE GREATLY ALARMED US DUE TO THE POTENTIAL IT COULD EASILY HAVE IGNITED TO FLAMES SINCE THIS WAS VERY FLAMMABLE GASOLINE LEAKING WAS SO CLOSE TO SO MANY OTHER HOT EXHAUST PARTS. WE HAD TO TOW THE JEEP (OBVIOUSLY NOT DRIVING IT LEAKING SO MUCH GAS ANY LONGER) TO OUR JEEP DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEY DISCOVERED A SMALL LENGTHWISE SPLIT IN THE FORWARD HARD PLASTIC FUEL LINE SEVERAL INCHES FROM WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE FUEL RAIL. THIS IS THE FUEL LINE TUBE THAT GOES TO THE END OF THE ENGINE. I HAD SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTED THE JEEP DEALER TO SAVE THE OLD DEFECTIVE PARTS BUT THEY THREW THEM AWAY. I HONESTLY DONT KNOW IF THAT WAS BY DESIGN TO AVOID A RECALL OR NOT, I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THE SPLIT WOULD I HAVE HAD THE PART.

I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH THEY PERFORMED AND AS A RESULT OF THAT REPLACEMENT I NOW HAVE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK, HORN INCLUDED AND WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THEY INDICATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM AND COVERING THE COSTS. ALL WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL THE AIRBAG RECALL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A BAY BEING WORKED ON FOR THE RECALL. THE DATE REFLECTS THE DAY THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING

CLOCK SPRING MALFUNCTION: HORN AND STEERING WHEEL ELECTRONICS INOPERABLE.

SAME CASE REPORTED ON SEPT. 24/2019 , INCIDEND # NHTSA 11257650.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT CORRECTLY IN ORDER TO SECURE THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FABRIC WAS UNRAVELING. THE CONTACT CALLED FRANKLIN SUSSEX AUTO MALL (LOCATED AT 315 STATE ROUTE 23, SUSSEX, NJ 07461, 877-799-8199) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V680000 (SEAT BELTS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

FIRST MY POWER WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THAT TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE (IT HAS HAPPEN TWICE SINCE). THAT SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE USING MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70MPH AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN AND DISABLED ITSELF WHILE KEEPING THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ON AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN OFF OR RESET THE CRUISE CONTROL. (THESE LIGHTS WENT OUT THE FOLLOWING DAY). A COUPLE DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING OF THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TURN SIGNAL BEING OUT CAME ON (THIS COMES AND GOES NOW ALMOST DAILY). LAST NIGHT WHILE MY JEEP WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME THE HEADLIGHTS AND DOME LIGHT STARTED COMING ON RANDOMLY. THE HEADLIGHT AND DOME LIGHT SWITCH WHERE BOTH IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE KEYS WERE ON MY KITCHEN TABLE INSIDE THE HOUSE (THIS IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK ALSO). WHEN I GOT IN IT TO GO TO WORK AND WHILE IDLING THE HAZARDS LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY BLINK TWICE AND THEN STOP, WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES AND HAPPEN AGAIN. WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK I NOTICED THAT WHEN THIS HAPPEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALSO TURNING ON, THEY TURNED OFF AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT IS A RAINY DAY BUT BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT I COULD NOT TELL IF THE LIGHTS WERE RANDOMLY GOING IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING. REGARDLESS THIS IS TURNING IN TO A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE ALL TOO COMMON WITH THESE FIAT-CHRYSLER VEHI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN ORDER TO HAVE VISIBILITY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT OPERATE AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPEATEDLY TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF FOR THEM TO STOP WORKING. THE CONTACT CALLED SCOTT ROBINSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (20900 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90503, (424) 299-8800) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WOULD COST $1,300. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A P0302 #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE READING. AFTER REPLACING CONSUMABLE PARTS (SPARK PLUGS, ENGINE COIL) RESET ENGINE LIGHT, THE CODE P0302 RETURNED AFTER 15-20 MILES DRIVING. THIS ISSUE IS A WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE, AND REQUIRES INTERNAL ENGINE REPAIR (LIFTERS, ROCKER, AND/OR CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT). AN OPEN SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS, BUT SEVERAL JK VEHICLES WITH THE SIMILAR ISSUE CAUSE PARTS BACKORDER. IF CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE HAPPENS, MORE SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT TO THE VEHICLE. AS OTHER COMPLAINTS INDICATED, THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CLASSED AS A RECALL.

JEEP WAS GETTING OVER 20MPG THEN SUDDENLY STARTED DROPPING AT A RAPID RATE NOW 1YR AFTER PURCHASE IS GETTING AVERAGE 12.9MTG. DOWN TO 9MTG. HIGHWAY OR TORREVIEJA DOESN'T APPEAR TO EFFECT THESE NUMBERS, NOT IN WRONG GEARS, OIL CHANGES CURRENT, TIRES BALANCED AND AIR CORRECT.

PASSENGER CARPET UNDER HAS STANDING WATER.. RUBBER MATS I PURCHASED AND PLACED IN JEEP UPON PURCHASING COVERED WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PRE-EXISTING PROBLEM, UPON REMOVAL OF MAY TO VACUUM FOUND CARPET SOAKED SO DRIED CARPET AND INTERMITTENTLY STILL GETS STANDING WATER HAVE NOT DETERMINED CAUSE APPEARS WHEN RAINING? CAN NOT PIN POINT CAUSE OR WHERE IF A LEAK EXISTS.. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE PURCHASE BUT SINCE MAY COVERED PROBLEM 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. (HADN'T RAINED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE ANYWAY TO HAVE FOUND EXISTING PROBLEM.. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON JEEP COMPLAINT PER MANY SITES BUT NO CAUSE NOTED. DEALERSHIP WANTS $200. TO TRY AND DUPLICATE PROBLEM TO DIAGNOSIS. PRE~EXISTING AT PURCHASE..

2012 JEEP SAHARA RADIO STOPPED WORKING. IT CUTS IN AND OUT (ONLY STATIC). WIPERS GOES OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS AND NOW WIPER FLUID DOESN'T COME OUT

ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS A SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN I HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AS TO CYCLINDERS ARE MISFIRING THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, RESULTING IN P0302 #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE. AFTER REPLACING CONSUMABLE PARTS (SPARK PLUG, ENGINE COIL) RESET ENGINE LIGHT. CODE RETURNED AFTER 20 MILES DRIVING. DEALER TECHNICIANS INDICATE ISSUE IS #2 CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACEMENT. OPEN SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS, HOWEVER CONDITION HAS AFFECTED ENOUGH JEEP JKU VEHICLES TO RESULT IN PART BACKORDER. THIS PRESENTS AN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION AS PART MAY TAKE WEEKS TO MONTHS TO OBTAIN. NO SOLUTION ON TEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE/ OFFERED AS RESULT. DEALER INDICATES DRIVING VEHICLE LIKELY TO WORSEN CONDITION, AND ADVISES TO KEEP UNTIL PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CLASSED AS A RECALL AND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I BELIEVE IT FIRST OCCURRED IN 2016. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST STALL ON A CITY STREET, IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL WAS NOT RELATED AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON A FULL TANK OF GAS OR A QUARTER TANK. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED) BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS HAZARD, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE SO IT WAS NEVER FIXED. I EVEN SHOWED THEM VIDEO EVIDENCE 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING (IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC). THE RPM WOULD JUST GO TO ZERO, AND WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR BACK UP, IT WOULD TRY TO CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF FOR 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR WOULD EVENTUALLY START AGAIN. THIS WOULD OCCUR AT LEAST 1/MONTH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL PUMP, AND CHECKED OTHER COMPONENTS AS THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNED ON, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONG THIS MODEL YEAR JEEP, AND JEEP CONTINUES TO CLAIM NO FAULT. SOMEONE COULD DIE IF THEIR CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS GOING 70+ MPH. AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER MAY BE ABLE TO MANEUVER, BUT CERTAINLY AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD NOT. THIS VEHICLE WAS INTENDED TO BE FOR A TEENAGE CHILD, BUT I COULD NOT KNOWINGLY GIVE THIS TO THEM HAVING THIS UNRESOLVED ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEA

JEEP SAHARA UNLIMITED GOES NEARLY UNSTABLE (AGGRESSIVE FRONT END OSCILLATION) WHEN HITTING POTHOLES/BUMPS AT SPEED (~50-60 MPH), ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO NEARLY 10-20 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD GOING AT SPEED FOR FEAR OF GETTING HIT IN REAR AS YOU SLOW DOWN. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS (100+) TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I MINIMIZE THE ISSUE BY AVOIDING KNOWN POTHOLES/BUMPS ON ROADS I USE. THIS IS APPARENTLY KNOWN BY FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES AND THEY APPARENTLY HAVE A FIX (NEW STEERING DAMPER), JUST SEARCH "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" OR "FCA SAFETY ISSUES" ON GOOGLE, HUNDREDS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, APPARENTLY NOW A LAWSUIT. HAVE BROUGHT CAR IN AND JEEP SERVICE AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE UNAWARE OF IT. SAME WITH FCA / MOPAR SERVICE. THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL JEEPS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED. JUST WATCH THE VIDEOS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING, THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM.

FOR MONTHS ONGOING, AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND AGAIN AT 80 MPH MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE VIBRATES. I DO NOT HAVE A LIFT KIT ON MY VEHICLE NOR ANY OTHER SUSPENSION OR STEERING MODIFICATIONS. I HAD A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER INSPECT TIE RODS, BALL JOINTS, TRACK BAR, AND STEERING STABILIZER BUT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL PARTS ARE IN WORKING ORDER AND DO NOT NEED REPLACEMENT/REPAIR. MY JEEP HAS 99K MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE SECURITY ALARM ALSO SOUNDED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SANDY (10905 AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070, 866-677-2319), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO ACCURACY AUTOMOTIVE (4036 S MAIN ST, MURRAY, UT 84107, 801-266-3609) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN MY STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT, THE HORN STOPPED WORKING, AND MY AIRBAG NO LONGER WORKS. SOME OF MY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH EVEN STOPPED WORKING. THE FM/AM RADIO ALSO NO LONGER WORKS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CLOCK SPRINGS WENT OUT. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN A CRASH. NONE OF THESE WORK, WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

STEERING WAS SHAKING AND CAR WAS SHAKING AT A VERY LOW SPEED AFTER DRIVING ON COBBLESTONE STREET.

SWAY BAR LIGHT AND OTHER INDICATORS FLASHING BECAUSE OF WATER ENTERING THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT BOX IN FRONT OF THE SWAY BAR, UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN A NON-WATERPROOF CONTAINMENT, CAUSING MULTIPLE SHORTS. COMMON ISSUE IN 2012 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED 4X4 BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, WHILE DRIVING IF YOU HOT A LARGE PUDDLE WATER SPLASHES UP IN TO THE BOX SHOOTING IT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED KOONS TYSONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2050 CHAIN BRIDGE RD, VIENNA, VA 22182, 703-790-0900) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO ANOTHER DEALER(FARRISH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 9610 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22031, 703-273-0200) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ALSO DID NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE.

SWAY BAR INDICATOR WON'T STOP BLINK AND I HAVE NEVER USED THIS FUNCTION AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPES GO ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE PAINT ON THE DOOR HINGES HAVE BEEN BUBBLING SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I LAID EXTRA FOR THE CAR CARE PACKAGE BUT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR IT

HOOD FLUTTERS AT SPEEDS OVER 30MPH. CONCERNED THE HOOD WOULD FLY UP.

BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS REVVING BUT NO ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN JEEP WILL NOT TURN OVER AND WARNING LIGHT FOR ETC IS ON

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS HIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE HAS JUST BEEN A RECALL FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE COMPASS, LIBERTY AND PATRIOT. IF ALSO APPLIED TO A SIMILAR EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MY WRANGLER I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A $1600 REPAIR FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. FURTHERMORE MY WRANGLER IS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL PROBLEM ONLINE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY JEEP. AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (LAHTI'S JEEP, LEOMINSTER), CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING DOWN TO LOOK AT THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR JEEP. LAHTI'S HAS TOLD ME THEY THINK CHRYSLER IS DODGING THEIR CALLS. NO MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS OK. CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS "NORMAL." FINALLY, MY JEEP HAS JUST STARTED VIBRATING WHILE STOPPED (IN GEAR) WHILE HOLDING THE BREAKS. THE VIBRATING CREATES ONLY A SMALL RUMBLING NOISE BUT THE VIBRATIONS ARE VERY EVIDENT SITTING IN THE CAR OR HOLDING ONTO IT. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH A TECHNICIAN TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DO NOT PAY FOR THOSE SERVICES. APPARENTLY BUYING A 30,000 DOLLAR CAR DOES NOTHING BUT "ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE." THE DEALERSHIP (ACTON CHRYSLER JDR) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED. CHRYSLER REFUSES OWNERSHIP OVER ANY OF MY AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES. THERE'S INHERENT ISSUES WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES RECEIVED PROVIDE NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE VEHICLES ISSUES WHICH MAKES I

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER I BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2018. THIS JUNE MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS REPLACED. I LOOKED AT ALL RECALLS, I NOTICED THRU THE NHTSA THE RECALLS LISTED ARE FOR ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE 2012 JEEPS. WHY WOULD IT MATTER RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DRIVE?? THEY USE THE SAME PARTS. SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS RECALL GOOD FOR MY JEEP?? AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO AIR BAG PROTECTION. I DID HOWEVER HAVE THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL DONE. I THINK THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR JEEPS OF ALL YEARS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AS ALL NOT WORDED AS RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

THIS VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE BETWEEN THE REAR OF THE ENGINE AND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BURNED TO THE GROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING SERVICED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE A LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS REQUIRING SERVICE, ALL OF WHICH WAS DONE AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY BEFORE THE FIRE BEGAN IT LOOKS LIKE THE VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS BEING OPERATED AT ABOUT 50MPH ON A PAVED ROADWAY JUST PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN PULLING TO A STOP AND PARKING AFTER LEAVING THE MAIN ROADWAY AND PULLING INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE OF A RESIDENCE. A TRAIL OF FLUID WAS FOUND ON THE MAIN ROADWAY BEGINNING JUST PRIOR TO THE TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDING AT THE JEEP. THIS JEEP HAD NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUSPENSION OR DRIVE TRAIN AND HAD STOCK SIZE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS UP TO DATE ON ALL RECALL SERVICE WORK. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WAS THE INITIAL SOURCE OF IGNITION BUT I DID SEE TRANSMISSION FLUID FEEDING THE FIRE.

SENTRY LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT FLASH INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS.

DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH 44,000 HIGHWAY MILES, DURING CITY DRIVING, THE JEEP STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, WE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO CHAPMAN JEEP IN HENDERSON NV. FOR TROUBLESHOOTING, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD SERVICE BULLETIN AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, WOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. A FEW DAYS LATER, WE GOT A RETURN CALL FROM JEEP SAYING THE FAULT WAS NOT THE CYLINDER HEAD, BUT IT WAS THE ENGINE ITSELF! A PISTON HAD MELTED IN NUMBER 6 CYLINDER AND THE ENGINE WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT! AS YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO FIND A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE WITH ONLY 44000 MILES, WOULD NOW REQUIRE AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT COSTING ME $7000.00 DOLLARS! I REQUESTED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR JEEP TO TELL ME HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, BUT THE REPLY WAS THEY DID NOT KNOW. THE ENGINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED WITH THE BEST OIL AND COOLANT, AND NO OTHER CYLINDERS WERE AFFECTED. I HAVE HELD OFF WRITING THIS LETTER SINCE I WANTED TO GET OUR JEEP RETURNED TO ME BEFORE MORE MONEY WAS REMOVED FROM MY WALLET. I DO REALIZE THINGS CAN GO WRONG, BUT SOMETHING FAILED INTERNALLY TO THE ENGINE, THIS WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL, AND ALL CHRYSLER/JEEP COULD DO WAS SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS AND SAY PAY ME. YOU HAVE LOST A JEEP CUSTOMER, AND I'LL BE SURE TO LET MY FRIENDS IN THE JEEP CLUBS KNOW OF THIS EXPENSIVE OUTCOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST HEAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS WHOPPED AND CAUSED A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE CONTACT CALLED WORLD JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM AT 732-918-1380 (LOCATED AT 681 SHREWSBURY AVE, SHREWSBURY, NJ 07702) AND WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,200.

LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STARTS RUNNING ROUGHLY. IF TURNED OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT WILL START UP AGAIN JUST FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TYPICALLY TURNS OFF AFTER A COUPLE MORE TRIPS AND RUNS JUST FINE UNTIL IT RANDOMLY DOES IT AGAIN. HAS BEEN SOMETIMES MINUTES, OTHER TIMES WEEKS BETWEEN EPISODES. HAVE HAD ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, AND WIRING TO THROTTLE REPLACED. KEEPS HAPPENING. HAS HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, SITTING AT LIGHT, NORMAL DRIVING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

OIL PUMP REPLACED AFTER 50K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH CODE P06DE, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED AFTER 2 WEEKS. CODE WAS ONCE AGAIN P06DE. OIL PUMP WAS REPLACED DUE TO SOLENOID ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT IT'S BEEN A COUPLE DAYS. EITHER WAY, AFTER READING SEVERAL JEEP FORUMS, IT SEEMS THIS IS PRETTY COMMON ON 2012 WRANGLERS AFTER 50K MILES. I HOPE JEEP DECIDES TO RECALL THIS PART SINCE I'VE SPENT OVER $1200, JUST ON THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO RESOLVE RECALL V01. TRIED 6 TIMES OVER 2 MONTHS TO SCHEDULE, DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO SERVICE DUE TO "NO PARTS, CALL BACK."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. ED TOMKO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE INC (33725 WALKER RD, AVON LAKE, OH 44012, (440) 933-3500) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE PARKED IN SLIGHTEST INCLINE WITH PARKING BRAKE PULLED UP ROLLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. TWO OF WHICH THE DRIVER WAS OUT OF THE CAR AND UNABLE TO STOP FROM ROLLING. VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE WHEN FINALLY WAS STOPPED BY TREE/BUSHES. OTHER OCCASIONS DRIVER WAS INSIDE VEHICLE BUT UNABLE TO GET PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. FORCED TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND LEAVE IN GEAR TO KEEP VEHICLE STATIONARY. FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH DAMAGE JAN 2014. TAKEN TO DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DENIED ANY PROBLEM FOUND. BLAMED POSSIBLY VEHICLE DRIVEN WITH BRAKE PULLED UP.

FUEL IS OVER FLOWING FROM FILLER TUBE WHEN AT THE GAS STATION. FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

VALVES ARE KNOCKING IN ENGINE. LAGGING IN SPEED UP. MAKING VEHICLE SLUGGISH.

HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK. ALL WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. FUSES CHECKED AND ARE OK. FORUMS LIST MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE TIPM FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN A LIGHT RAIN AND COULD NOT TURN IN MY HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS OR WIPERS.

TAKATA RECALL .I WENT INTO MY AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER . PRESTIGE JEEP ON CENTENNIAL PKWY , LAS VEGAS , NEVADA FOR THE RECALL OF PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. WAS TOLD BY RECEPTIONIST IN SERVICE THAT THEY COULD NOT ORDER PARTS BECAUSE OF EXPENSE AND WOULD HAVE TO WAIT POSSIBLY MONTHS BECAUSE THEY COULD ONLY ORDER 1 PART AT A TIME. MEANWHILE I CANNOT DRIVE CAR BECAUSE OF DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERNS

CLOCKSPRING REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. INTERMITTANT AIRBAG LIGHT, INTERMITTANT FUNCTION FROM CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL. NO PATTERN TO INTERMITTANT FUNCTIONING, I PERSONALLY CLEANED OUT ALL CONTACTS AND HARNESSES BEFORE PAYING DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE CLOCKSPRING.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS A MANUFACTURE FLAW, WHICH CAUSES ENGINE OIL TO LEAK IN THE ENGINE BAY AND ONTO THE EXHAUST. THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE IN THEIR JEEP WRANGLERS. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE AGE OR MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MALFUNCTION HAS ACCRUED IN JEEP WRANGLERS WITH AS LITTLE AS 2K MILES ON THEM. THE MALFUNCTION IS NOT ONLY A HEALTH BUT SAFETY RISK TO DRIVERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. WHEN DRIVING THE CABIN FILLS UP WITH SMOKE FROM BURNING OIL AND HAS A HIGH POTENTIAL TO IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE. WHEN JEEP REPAIRS THIS ISSUE THEY USE A NEW PART NUMBER, AND NOT THE STOCK APPLICATION. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I'M FINDING THIS IS THE CASE WITH A NUMBER OF CHRYSLER FIATS BRANDS WITH THE PENASTAR 3.6L MOTOR. I MY HAVE THIS ISSUE NOW, AND HAVE HAD IT ON BOTH OF MY 2012 AND 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS. AGAIN, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPAROTA ONLINE WITH JEEP OWNERS WITH THE 3.6L PENASTAR MOTOR. 2012-2014. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED BY JEEP ENGINEERS IN MID 2015.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE WILL OFTEN DIE. THIS HAPPENS MORE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED HARD AND IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SHARPLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS.

LEFT SIDE OF CYLINDER HEAD TICKING NOISE.
