2013 Jeep Wrangler complaints

Mopar Performance 68018109AA A/C and Heater Actuator has failed 3 times. I've replaced the original and twice since. This part is a safety issue because it directed the heat to defrost/de-ice the Windshield and provide heat to the occupants. There is plenty of evidence on YouTube of Jeep owners replacing this part for years now and yet there has not been a Recall regarding this part. The last replacement part was in January 2020 and failed again which I just replaced. Three times since 2013 when I purchased the 10th Anniversary Jeep Rubicon new which is why I've had enough of MOPAR not caring about its customers

The control buttons on the steering wheel for speed control and radio and menu for the odometer plus the horn started working only part-time. If you wiggle or turn the steering wheel 90 degrees sometimes everything will work. The airbag light also comes on indicating there is an airbag problem. This sometimes will go away with the right wiggle of the steering wheel. The service department said it is a bad clockspring on the steering column. There is a recall on this (S40) but not listed on my jeep. This started about 6 months ago and has gotten progressively worse.

Due to a strong odor of gasoline emanating from a recently filled fuel tank, the vehicle was towed (due to extreme fire risk) to an independent service center. A subsequent inspection determined a fuel leak in the upper part of the tank assembly and a cracked flange in the fuel pump assembly, which necessitated the replacement of the fuel tank and fuel pump assemblies. The vehicle components are no longer available for inspection and the vehicle was not inspected by anyone other than the owner of the independent service center. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem other than the pungent smell of gasoline. The smell of fuel first occurred after filling the gas tank on/around 08/13/2021.

While driving the vehicle, the heat cuts out and the defroster fails. This fogs up the window quickly causing an unsafe situation. Have had heating system flushed, controls and thermostat replaced, but problem continues to occur.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, he noticed a strong gasoline odor. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his residence and turn off the vehicle. The contact stated as he opened the hood of the vehicle, he saw gasoline pouring out of the fuel line into the engine compartment. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to purchase the parts and replace the fuel line himself. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 114,820.

Approximately the end of June the airbag light came on, made appointment with Red Bluff Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 545 Adobe Road Red Bluff, CA. 96080. Phone # (530) 840-2901. The soonest they could fit me in was July 19th @ 10:00am. Invoice states as follows; 97549 1.00 verified concern of airbag lamp on has active DTC B1B02 driver airbag said #1 open. Removed airbag installed Miller 8443 SRS simulator into clockspring airbag leads DTC goes stored unplug SRS tool and reinstalled airbag lamp comes back on same DTCS. Driver airbag will need to be replaced. Dealership was unable to answer if the airbag would deploy while driving or if the airbags would even go off in an accident, its their belief the system shuts down when there is a code. I have only gone to one dealership as mentioned above. Approximately $1,000.00 for the part alone. Problem is unresolved.

I just left my house and drove 2 miles at 25mph. My brakes went out then my vehicle caught fire with me and my two children inside. It is being inspected by insurance but there were no warning signs besides my brakes going out.

DRIVER HEATED SEAT MODULE OVERHEATS AT TIMES CAUSING A BURNING SMELL IF IN USE.

MY JEEP STARTED SMOKING SMELT A BADD OIL BURNING SMELL AND ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN I FINALLY GOT STOPPED LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND I COULD SEE OIL FLOATING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE EVERYWHERE AND GOING ALL DOWN THE BACK OF THE TRANSMISSION LOOKS LIKE A PART OR SOMETHING MAY HAVE A CRACK IN IT CAN'T REALLY TELL OIL IS ALL OVER THE UNDER CARRIAGE ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR END HAS GOT ALL OVER THE BRAKES HAD TROUBLES AND ISSUES WITH ITS SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT IT SMELLING LIKE AN OIL FIRE AND SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY

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.

HEATER DOES NO BLOW HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDES VENTS. AS A RESULT, THIS CAUSED A FROSTED BLIND SPOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF WINDOW AND DOOR GLASS. PP

BROUGHT 2013 WRANGLER TO DEALER FOR CONSTANT P0304 CODE AFTER REPLACING IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. DEALER DID A COMPRESSION LEAK TEST TO VERIFY THAT THE 4TH CYLINDER HEAD WAS BAD AND NEED REPLACING AND WILL COST $3700.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAD ASKED ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN 09-002-14 AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE X56 CODE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CYLINDER HEAD. I CALLED CHRYSLER/JEEP AS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE DMV.

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.

ENGINE OIL COOLER HAS FAILED 2 TIMES ONCE AT AROUND 70K MILES AND AGAIN AT 90K MILES. OIL LEAKS ON TOP OF ENGINE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN THE BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION ON TO THE EXHAUST AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. FIAT DOES NOT CARE WHEN I REPORTED IT AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES. DEALER WANTED $3,000 TO REPLACE IT WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS 12 DOLLAR O RINGS ON THE ADAPTER. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT SITS ON TOP OF A HOT ENGINE FLEXES AND ALLOWS THE O RINGS TO LEAK. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO REPLACE THAT PART WITH SOMETHING SAFER BUT THEY WONT CAUSE IT WOULD COST THEM TO MUCH MONEY AND GOOD LUCK PROVING WHAT HAPPENED TO START THE FIRE WHEN THE PLASTIC HOUSING JUST BURNS AWAY IN A FIRE OR YOUR ENGINE BLOWS TO LOW OIL.

WHEN THE JEEP IS PUT INTO REVERSE FIRST THING AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. IF THE BREAK PEDAL IS SLOWLY RELEASED, THE JEEP WILL STUTTER AND ALMOST STALL BUT STAYS RUNNING.

CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO KNOWN REASON- WHILE I WAS DRIVING - CAME TO STOP AND SMOKE PASSED ME UP - WIND COMING FROM BEHIND ME -STOPPED - SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF LEFT SIDE OF HOOD -TOTALLY BURNED-*DT*JB THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT HARM - YET I AM LEFT WITH NO VEHICLE

AIRBAG LIGHTS REMAIN ON, CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, ALL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. DOES NOT WORK WHEN DRIVING OR SETTING. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUSE. I FOUND OUT IT IS THE CLOCK SPRING.

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

THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING, EVEN AFTER A 45 MINUTE COMMUTE , NO HEAT. THIS CREATED DIFFICULTIES IN SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON COLD MORNINGS. THE DEALER DID A FLUSH OF THE SYSTEM BUT THE HEAT WAS ONLY TEMPORARILY FIXED, LESS A WEEK. RETURNED TO DEALER, REPLACED THE HEATER CORE WHICH HAS RETURNED THE HEAT TO THE JEEP.

ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS SEIZED UP. TRAVELING FROM WORK ON SECONDARY ROADS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. I WAS SMELLING HOT BRAKES. WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE JEEP PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT, ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOUCHED THE WHEELS AND ALL WERE SUPER HOT TO THE TOUCH. HAD THE VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR. SERVICE REPORTED ALL FOUR CALIPERS SHOW SIGNS OF BEING SEIZED UP. PADS AND ROTORS SHOW DAMAGE FROM OVERHEATING. NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR ROTORS, CALIPERS AND PADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A TIRE CHANGE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN CUSTODY OF THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

JEEP HAS DEVELOPED A TICKING NOISE THAT HAS BECOME LOUDER AND LOUDER, NOISE IS PRESENT WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOVEMENT AND INCREASES WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT IT IS FAULTY ROCKERS AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL PENSTAR 3.6L IN ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED HAVING A CODE THAT READ "MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6" AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BANK OF CYLINDERS (2,4,AND 6) THE TROUBLE CODE STILL CONTINUED TO POP UP ABOUT EVERY WEEK OR TWO. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP, CHRYSLER, RAM DEALER TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ON THE PENTASTAR ENGINE IN THE 2012 AND 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS WERE HAVE MANY, MANY ISSUES WITH THE BAD CYLINDER HEADS BECAUSE OF THERE WAS TWO DIFFERENT METALS USED BETWEEN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSING IT TO WARP AND CAUSE COMPRESSION ISSUES IN THE CYLINDER. JEEP WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSED TO THIS DAY TO ISSUE A RECALL. AFTER THE DEALER TOOK THE ENGINE APART TO INVESTIGATE, HE ADMITTED TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. THIS MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6 OCCURRED MOSTLY WHEN IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE KICKER IN ALL OF THIS EVEN THOUGH JEEP ADMITTED A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF COMPRESSION, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD AT THEIR COST. BECAUSE JEEP DID NOT HAVE MY VIN NUMBER IN THEIR LIST TO BE REPAIRED, IT WAS UP TO ME TO PICK UP THE COST. I DID NOTHING IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE (ORIGINAL OWNER) TO MAKE A CYLINDER HEAD BECOME WARPED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PENTASTAR ENGINE FROM THE BEGINNING. TOO BAD JEEP DOESN'T DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THESE PENTASTAR ENGI

I'M EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE AND I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY IT CAN BE FIX OR IF A RECALL IS OUT FOR THIS. *TR

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

CLOCKSPRING WENT BAD AT 50,000 I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL I BRING IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AIRBAG RECALLED BUT IT STILL WON'T WORK IT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND ON ONE EVEN TOLD ME AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE LIGHT LUCKY I'M A MECHANIC AND I KNOW THESE THINGS .YA FIX THE RECALL BUT IT STILL WON'T WORK WHAT GOOD WAS IT FOR ME EVEN TO BRING IT IN THEY SHOULD AT LEAST WARNED ME HEY AIR BAG WON'T WORK YOUR CLOCKSPRING IS BAD THEY JUST WANTED ME OUT OF THERE HOLLYWOOD JEEP CHYSLER ON STATE ROAD 7 -441 SERVICE DEPARTMENT [XXX] SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] NOT COOL AT AND I PAID FOR DIAGNOSIS WHICH APPEARS I KNOW MORE THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

MY JEEP SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS AND GOING UP HILLS WITH OTHER VEHICLES PRESENT, NO CODES SHOW UP, DASH LIGHTS TURN RED WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF, MY JEEP MAKES FUNNY NOISES WHEN TURNED OFF, TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 3 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY'VE TIRED EVERYTHING AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S GOING BACK IN AGAIN BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF ON ME GOING UP A HILL. THIS JEEP IS NOW BECOMING DANGEROUS TO MYSELF. YET THE JEEP STILL ISN'T GIVING CODES. I HAD TO GO BUY A CAR SCAN DEVICE PLUG IT IN AND RECORD DATA OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE JEEP SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE. DO I HAVE TO GO OFF A CLIFF OR GET INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND OR FIXED. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. I BOUGHT IT ON FEBRUARY 21,2020 AND IT STARTED ACTING UP ON FEBRUARY 28,2020 AND STILL IS ON MAY 16, 2020 AND IT IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE. I'M SPENDING MONEY TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT WAS A LIE. I NEED HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T MAKE SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS SAFELY OPERATIONAL BEFORE SELLING IT. IT OVER HEATED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHECK FLUID. MY HEATED SEATS WERE BURNT OUT. MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED SOMETHING BEHIND MY DASH BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK IT MADE IT WORSE. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY JEEP SHUTS

MY HORN AND BUTTONS ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF MY STEERING WHEEL HAVE BEEN OUT FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW BECAUSE I NEED MY CLOCK SPRING CHANGED. BUT COURTESY OF BREAUX BRIDGE WILL NOT CHANGE IT UNDER THE RECALL BC I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND/OR MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOT ON OR I DO NOT HAVE " ENOUGH WARNING SIGNS" PER RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL IS GOOD FOR 1MILLION MILES. THEY WOULD RATHER ME PAY $650. I EVEN CALLED CHRYSLER. *TR

CLOCKSPRING FAILED CAUSING HORN TO NOT OPERATE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL TO NOT OPERATE. OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE NON SAFETY RELATED TO THIS IS CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO CONTROLS (STEERING WHEEL) AND THE DASH DATA (THE MENU TO SCROLL THROUGH FROM THE DASH FOR DTE, US/METRIC ETC). ALL THESE ARE EFFECTED WHILE VEHICLE IS BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

THE JEEP WAS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF FOR OVER 2 HOURS. THE PLUG ON THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR STARTED SMOKING AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. LUCKILY I WASN'T TOO FAR AWAY AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE FIRE FROM SPREADING

I PURCHASED A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER FROM TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN TALLAHASSEE, FL WITH 8+ YEAR OLD TIRES. THEY ARE DRY ROTTED. I HAVE ORDERED NEW TIRES BUT I KNOW THE DOT SAYS TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD AFTER 5 YEARS. I HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE TIRES I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT HURT ANYONE ELSE.

HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING AS THE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND THERE'S A RECALL ON SOME BUT NOT ALL??

SOON AFTER I PURCHASED MY UNMODIFIED 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (AS NEW) I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE EXTREME FRONT SUSPENSION VIBRATION (DEATH WOBBLE) WHEN ENCOUNTERING A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING AT 40-60 MPH. NOW, 6 YEARS LATER I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT, TO NO AVAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL PEPBOYS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER 6. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATIONS NUMBER: 10139897 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) WARRANTY HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MACON LOCATED AT (3068 RIVERSIDE DR, MACON, GA 31210, (478)345-8899) CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLEW COLD AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLEW HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PLANET CHRYSLER/JEEP (400 E CENTRAL ST, FRANKLIN, MA 02038), WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE HOSES UNCLOGGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 24-002-14 (EQUIPMENT). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,300. *BF*JB

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 65K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. TICKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. TURNED OUT THE LIFTERS AND CAM SHAFT HAD FAILED. REPLACED BY DEALER AT A TOTAL COST OF JUST OVER $2400. BASED ON NUMEROUS JEEP FORUM VISITS AND RESEARCH, THIS IS A PART DEFECT IN THE CAM LIFTER AND IS EPIDEMIC. FCA IS REQUIRING OWNERS TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY PARTS BEING INSTALLED IN THEIR 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINES. HAVE FCA ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY PARTS.

LEAK WHEN IT RAINS.. GUESSING SEAL ON DOOR

WHEN VEHICLE HITS A BUMP, IT VIBRATES SO DRIVER IS UNABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. INVESTIGATION ONLINE POINTS TO "DEATH WOBBLE" AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. HAPPENS ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. TOOK TO LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP, REPLACED BALL JOINTS, HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK LATER. CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR US. LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITHOUT A DEFINITE FIX OR ANSWER.

I WENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND TSB 09-009-18 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE HAD BROKEN AND ALL OF THE PIECES WERE MISSING BUT TWO SMALL PLASTIC PARTS. THEY SHOWED ME THE TSB AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP UNTIL THE OIL FILER ADAPTER WAS REPLACED OR THE PLASTIC PARTS COULD POSSIBLY MIGRATE AND BLOW UP MY ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A COLD NIGHT WITH NO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, MY WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED. I HAD THE DEFROSTER ON. I'VE READ ABOUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS. IT'S AN ISSUE AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLING ASSEMBLY IS PLASTIC, CHEAP, AND LOCATED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE. MINE, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER JEEPS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THEM FAIL WELL UNDER 30,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES MASSIVE ENGINE OIL LOSS WHICH IN TURN CAUSES ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS IS A HUGE RIP OFF CONSIDERING THE PART COSTS ~$500. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY ON ALL JEEPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A TUNE UP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMALLY. DESPITE THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO REOCCUR, THE MOST RECENT TIME THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CYLINDER ASSIST HAD MISFIRED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL PLACED ON THE VEHICLE FOR HER FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MACON 3068 RIVERSIDE DR, MACON, GA 31210 WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE ONLY RECALL ON THE VEHICLE WAS FOR THE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,457.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MISFIRED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANN UNDERWOOD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM DEALER, (501 S MADISON ST, WHITEVILLE, NC 28472, (910) 642-2000) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD NUMBER 2 MISFIRED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW OIL WARMING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN EXAMINING THE VEHICLE THEY NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL ALL OVER THE MOTOR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE GAS CAP NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THE SEAT BELT IS A RECALL, BUT YET THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. RHD JEEP'S ONLY.

HEATER CORE CLOGGED. HEATER BLOWS WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE, WORKING ACROSS DASH HEAT HETS COLDER AS IT COMES ACROSS TO DRIVERS SIDE, DRIVER SIDE BLOWS EXTREMELY COLD. DEFROST BLOWS COLD. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IN JEEP FORUMS THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. HEATER CORE IS GETTING CLOGGED AND AFFECTING THE HEAT OUTPUT OF JEEP. OUR JEEP HAS ROUGHLY 112000 MILES ON AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE JEEP HAS HAD AROUND 50000 MILES. JEEP WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE WERE OVER 36000 MILES. I HAVE BLEW OUT HEATER CORE FLUSHING IT. THAT HELPS ALITTLE BIT BUT HEAT IS STILL NO WERE AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. REPLACING HEATER CORE INVOLVES PULLING ENTIRE DASH OUT OR CUTTING DASH SUPPORTS TO REMOVE HEATER CORE TO REPLACE JUST TO HAVE NEW HEATER CORE CLOG AGAIN. SOMETHING IN SYSTEM IS CAUSING HEATER CORES IN THESE JEEPS TO CLOGG ULTIMATELY CAUSING HEAT AND DEFROST NOT TO WORK AND BLOW COLD AIR.

FAILURE OF OIL COOLER HOUSING, NOTICED OIL BURNING SMELL LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AND SAW OIL EVERYWHERE

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

AS I RESEARCH WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY JEEP IT HAS BEEN A HAPPENING FOR QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE. NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS WHEN DRIVING MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER AT ALL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I INSTANTLY LOSE POWER PLUS MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS TURN ON AND I END UP GOING INTO LIMP MODE. IT MOSTLY HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING EVEN WHEN IT IS IN PARK. MY JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WITH A TRUSTED MECHANIC FOR 3 MONTHS AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE EITHER. ALL OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE TONS OF PEOPLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT SEEMS AS THOUGH NO ONE CAN FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM EITHER... I'M UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO NOW.
