2013 Jeep Wrangler complaints

I BOUGHT THIS 2013 JEEP NOT EVEN TWO YEARS AGO AND I'VE SANK OVER 8,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR INTO IT. THEIR SHOULD BE A TON OF RECALLS ON THESE JEEPS AROUND THE SAME YEAR. I'M A MAIL CARRIER AND MY FIRST ROUTE WAS ALL PAVED ROADS. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DELIVERING THE MAIL. THESE JEEPS ARE JUNK AND JEEP WON'T TAKE INITIATIVE FOR IT. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAY ON. EVERY TIME IT'S BEEN FIXED IT'S BEEN CAM SHAFTS, ROCKER ARMS, CAM SHAFT SENSORS, STEERING SENSOR, CLOCK SPRING, AND WIRING HARNESS. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED THAT MANY FINES AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THESE JEEPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE BEING MADE FOR POSTAL VEHICLES. EVERY CARRIER OR PERSON I KNOW WITH ONE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. WHEN THOSE LIGHTS COME ON THE JEEP LITERALLY LOSES ALL POWER, IT STILL RUNS BUT TICKS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. THE VEHICLE DOES IT WHILE SITTING AND DRIVING. IT'S GOT A CONSTANT TICK TOO. IT'S BEEN TO SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND I GET TOLD THE SAME THING. I PAY 500 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A PIECE OF CRAP. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THEIR ARE LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THE CUSTOMERS WILL WIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS AMERICA, WE WORK OUR BUTTS OFF TO PAY FOR SOMETHING JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, ITS NOT RIGHT.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY DOING 45 MPH. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 SO I PROCEEDED TO PASS WHEN IT CLEARED ONLY TO HAVE THE GAS PEDAL STICK. I REACHED SPEEDS OVER 90 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE EDGE OF MY SHOE UNDER THE PEDAL TO GET IT UNSTUCK. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF THE ONE I PASSED. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME MY LIFE AND POSSIBLY OTHERS AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. PAR-K ENTERPRISES (825 S 1ST ST, FULTON, NY 13069, (315) 598-8118) WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I HAVE NOTICES ON THE JEEP FORUMS SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ELECTRIC WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN. MY VEHICLE ALL 4 WINDOW ELECTRONICS DO NOT WORK AND THE DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THAT THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN READING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS AS A COMMON DEFECT HOWEVER ITS PRETTY WIDE SPREAD. THE TPIM IS THE COMPLETE FUSE SYSTEM UNDER THE HOOD WHICH MAKES NO SENSE SINCE IT IS ONLY ONE PORTION OF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THIS PART THROUGH THE DEALER RUNS ABOUT $1000 PLUS INSTALLATION. SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A PLUG AND PLAY ISSUE BUT NEVER THE LESS THE DEALER SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. READ THE FORUMS IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY CONSISTENT ISSUE NO MATTER WHAT MODEL. YET THE DEALER TELLS YOU TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF AND ALSO REMOVE THE BATTER CABLES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THEY ALREADY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT DONT YA THINK?

OIL ADAPTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. NOTICED WHEN I WAS GETTING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE.

HEATER CORE CLOGGED.RADIATOR SLUDGE LEFTOVER FROM CASTING SAND IN CYLINDER HEADS CIRCULATED THRU HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS CAUSE SAND TO SETTLE IN RADIATOR AND CLOG HEATER CORE

OIL FILTER HOUSING, CRACKED RESULTING IN LOSS OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL, ENGINE HAS 82,000 MILES AND OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3000-3500, USING MANF RECOMMENDED OIL AND FILTER. STARTED LEAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND BURNING SMELL, DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED DUE TO OVER TIGHTENING OF OIL FILTER CAP. THIS IS NOT TRUE, HAVE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS USED A TORQUE WRENCH TO THE MANF SPECIFICATIONS PRINTED ON THE OIL FILTER CAP. REVIEWING THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEES TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE PENSTAR ENGINE WHICH CHANGED FROM BOTTOM MOUNT TO TOP MOUNT OIL FILTER. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE REPLACEMENT COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES IT WAS USER ERROR AND REFUSES TO COVER. WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO REVIEW THE NUMBER OF ISSUES OTHER JEEPS HAVE HAD WITH THIS PART BREAKING, AS DEALER WARNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH THE OIL LEAKING.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, CRUISE CONTROL (AS WELL AS ALL OTHER CONTROLS MOUNTED ON THE STEERING WHEEL) ARE INOPERABLE. THIS WAS GRADUAL; I NOTICED CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK FIRST, THEN THE REST OF THE CONTROLS INCLUDING THE AIRBAG STOPPED SHORTLY AFTER. THIS WAS DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING (A COAST-TO-COAST ROAD TRIP).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO A SHOULDER LANE AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HASTINGS CHRYSLER CENTER (2980 VERMILLION STREET, HASTINGS, MN 55033), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE ON THE NUMBER TWO CYLINDER, AND THE COIL AND SPORT PLUG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A SERVICE CENTER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO YEARS LATER. THE DEALER INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM CENTERVILLE IN CENTERVILLE, OHIO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OUT OF THE BLUE THE JEEP WOULD NOT START ONE MORNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. TURNS OUT THE WCM (WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE) FAILED IN THE IGNITION SO THE KEYS WERE NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE MODULE. THEY REPLACED THE PART (WOULD NOT COVER UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED!!!!) AND REPROGRAMMED BOTH OUR KEYS. $385.00 LATER IT NOW STARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROL ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. IMPERIAL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10 UXBRIDGE RD, MENDON, MA) DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS; HOWEVER, IF THE CONTACT PAID TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND A RECALL GOT ISSUED, THE CONTACT WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR EVEN A ROCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, SOMETHING HAPPENS THE FRONT END IT STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY ITS AS IF YOU HAD A BLOW OUT. NORMALLY AROUND 35 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP OWNERS THEY CALL IT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE." IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. SLOWING DOWN DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS NOT WAY OF PULLING OVER OR ON A ROAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE CITY STREETS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SITUATION, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME , BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING . THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT MADE VIDEO OF IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ON YOU-TUBE OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. ALSO THE ELECTRIC ON THE BLINKERS SEEM TO BE GOING OUT OFTEN ALSO. REPLACING A BULB DOES NOT WORK IT IS THE WHOLE SOCKET OR WIRING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I I RESEARCH THESE ISSUES MANY MANY JEEP OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING

A HAZARD TO EVERY OCCUPANT, HEATING SYSTEM QUITS WORKING DUE TO FAULTY SELF-DESTRUCTING HEATER CORE THAT ALSO DISABLES OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR. ORIGINAL PART NUMBER #68004193A SHEDS ALL CASTING SAND THEN CAUSING CLOGS & TOTAL SHUT DOWNS. CLEARLY KNOWN WELL SINCE 2013 WITH NO WARNING TO ANY OWNERS (REFERENCE THEIR OWN JEEP FORUM). IN ADDITION TO FROZEN PASSENGERS AND COMPLETE SHUT-DOWN @ 'ANYTIME', THE $110 MADE-TO FAIL PART RESULTS IN $2,382 ADDED EXPENSE, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE MIS-DIAGNOSIS EXPENSE(S) BY THEIR OWN CERTIFIED MECHANICS. CRIMINAL

A WELL-KNOWN FAULT SINCE 2013, A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE FAULTY HEATER CORE PART #68004193A WHICH SHEDS CASTING SAND CAUSING COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF RADIATOR & OIL COOLER & ENGINE OPERATION. IN ADDITION, CAUSES CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANICS TO MIS-DIAGNOSE RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL COSTLY TIME & EXPENSE. DAMAGE DONE TO REPLACE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, OIL COOLER AN ADDITONAL $2,382. WHILE STILL DRIVEABLE IN BELOW-FREEZING TEMPERATURES, PASSENGERS SUBJECT TO NO HEAT. *JS

AT ONLY AROUND 20,000 MILES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING I WOULD HEAR A CRUNCH SOUND. ALSO THE CLOTH TOP ON THE JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED VERY TIGHTLY AGAINST THE SIDE ROLL BARS AND ARE WEARING OUT THE CLOTH ON THE POLES WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY END UP WITH A TORN MATERIAL. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC BACK WINDOW AT 17,0000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. CURRENTLY THE JEEP HAS 28,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE FENDER FLARES HAVE STARTED FADED ALREADY TOO.

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

MY JEEP STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG IT ALSO STALLS WHEN BACKING UP OR GOING FORWARD IT DOES START BACK UP BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOESN'T START RIGHT AWAY IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINUTES IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THIS IS GETTING TO BE A COMMON THING SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS

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

THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ONE OCCASION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT CRANKED AND CRANKED BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. TODAY WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE, I COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER...AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND MY BATTERY ALMOST DYING I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION TO BATTERY AND IT FIRED UP AFTER RECONNECTING. I'M READING THERE ARE 50,000+ VEHICLES WITH A TIPM ISSUE AND BELIEVE THIS IS IMPACTING MY JEEP. IT'S A $1300 FIX THAT I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD OWN.

JUST PURCHASED, HEAT NOT WORKING. HAD HEATER CORE FLUSHED, HEAT WORKED FOR ONE WEEK AND NOW BLOWS VERY HOT ON RIGHT SIDE AND LUKE WARM ON LEFT SIDE. THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE CASTING SAND PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO SHOP TO FLUSH HEATER CORE AGAIN. NOT GOOD.

MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING 2X AND THEN DOES NOT RESTART EVEN THOUGH IT IS CRANKING OVER. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF SPORADIC ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE. I REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE MAP SENSOR AT THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE AND DROVE 4000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. IT DOES NOT STUTTER LIKE POOR GAS DELIVERY OR COUGH IT JUST QUITS LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

HEATER DOES NOT PRODUCE WARM AIR ON DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE THROUGH FLOOR, VENT, OR DEFROST. DRIVING SPEED DOES NOT AFFECT TEMPERATURE ON DRIVER SIDE. HEAT WILL SOMETIMES GET WARM ON DRIVER SIDE AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO STAR CASE S12307000008. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD, KNOWN ISSUE, THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. IT IS DANGEROUS AS WELL DUE TO ICE BUILD UP ON WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEFROST HEAT ON DRIVER SIDE.

TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAGRECALL.COM TELLS ME I'M AT RISK BUT DOES NOT LIST A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS STALLING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AT IDLE OR LOW SPEEDS BELOW 60 MPH. VEHICLE BUCKS/SLIPS/JERKS AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH+ AS WITNESSED BY DEALER SERVICE MECHANIC. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR OR WILL REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE AND MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RETURNED TO PARK, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. NO DEALER CODES FOUND THEREFORE, UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (MORE THAN A QUART PER 250 MILES) AND IS OVERHEATING WHEN UNDER LOAD ON LONG CLIMBS. OVERHEATING AND/OR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHICH IS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHERE THE ENGINE WILL NOT GO OVER 3000 RPM. WHEN OIL LEVEL DROPS TO ABOUT 3 QUARTS LOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE JEEP GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED VALVE TAPPETS, THE LEFT CAMSHAFT AND THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD UNDER MY CHRYSLER "MAXCARE" LIFETIME WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE IS NOW TELLING ME THE REPAIR MAY NO LONGER BE COVERED BY MY LIFETIME SERVICE CONTRACT (REFERENCE JEEP CUSTOMER CARE CASE NUMBER 32175924). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM OVERHEATING AND/OR OIL LOSS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS INCLUDING THE HORN ARE WORKING.

OUR JEEP STARTED STALLING ON OCCASION ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC. RESTART WAS IMMEDIATE. IT PROGRESSIVELY STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. FOUR MONTHS AGO WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND A SPARK PLUG. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A VALVE BODY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A ROCKER ARM AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS AND STILL IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2017, IT STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALONE WHILE DRIVING IT AND SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. WE HAVE TALKED WITH A MECHANIC THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED OR IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY AND THE ROADS WERE DRY.

MY LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEP UNLIMITED WRANGLER HAS A CLOCK SPRING ISSUE TOO THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED. ALL JEEPS NEED TO BE ON THE RECALL, NOT JUST THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

I HAVE 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. I'M HAVING AN ISSUE THE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME SO FAR. FIRST TIME WAS IN LATE AUGUST, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE HEADING HOME FROM WORK. 2ND TIME WAS ON 9/16/17, AND MOST CURRENT WAS YESTERDAY 9/26/17. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, ONCE IT SHUTS OFF, IT WON'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY, USUALLY YOU HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES. IF YOU TRY TO START IT BEFORE IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH NO OPEN CODES. AT THE POINT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN CALL. HATE TO JUST REPLACE ITEMS IF IT IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAD HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROAD WAYS, ON SUNNY CLEAR DAYS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ALL THREE TIMES. I DO FEEL LUCKY SO FAR OUR KIDS HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE JEEP NOR HAVE WE BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF PUTS YOU IN DANGER FROM ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS.

ESC LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS RESULTS IN CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE MIL (CHECK ENGINE) TO STAY ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS INITIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. I HAVE IGNORED THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER RELOCATING TO A NEW STATE, CALIFORNIA REQUIRES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE OFF IN ORDER TO PASS A SMOG INSPECTION. I'VE REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING. NO CHANGE. I BELIEVE MY JEEP IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-636. I WOULD NOT SAY THAT NHTSA 16V-290 SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, ONLY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ON.

STUDS KEEP BRAKEN ON REAR WHEELS

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND FACTORY INSTALLED FLOOR MAT LODGED SO THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS WENT UP TO SIX UNTIL I RELIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND UNLODGED RUBBER MAT FROM ACCELERATOR.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR BECOMING CLOGGED I HAVE HAD THEM BOTH FLUSHED BY THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL CLOG CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING IN THE WINTER TIME WITH NO DEFROSTERS OR HEAT TO SAFELY DRIVE TO WORK

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

OIL COOLER / FILTER HOUSING LEAK - OIL COLLECTS AT BASE OF COOLER HOUSING. HAPPENED AT 25K MILES AND CONTINUES.

OIL PRESSURE

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. WHEN STATIONARY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SHOWING AN AIRBAG ALERT AND ALL CONTROL BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL EXCEPT CRUSE CONTROL HAVE FAILED. WHEN THE LEFT SPOKE OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS ROTATED COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO THE 2 O'CLOCK POSITION THE AIRBAG ALERT TURNS OFF AND ALL BUTTONS WORK BUT ONLY IN THAT POSITION. NO DIFFERENCE WHEN IN MOTION EXCEPT A DING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED PAST A CERTAIN POSITION.

THE IGNITION KEY SECURITY SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO PRETECT THE VEHICULE AGAINTS THEF , MY JEEP HAD BEEN STOLEN 2 DAYS AGO AND I THEN FOUND SIMPLY ON THE WEB THAT THOSE KEY ARE INAFFECTIVE AND NOBODY SEEM TO CARE . HERE IS A LINK AIRED IN A CANADIAN TV STATIONHTTP://WWW.TVANOUVELLES.CA/2016/07/06/DES-PIRATES-INFORMATIQUES-REINVENTENT-LE-VOL-DE-VOITURES MY QUESTION IS WHY MANUFACTURER , INSURANCE COMPANY NEVER ADVISE CONSUMER TO TAKE ALTERNATIVE MESURE TOWARD THIS PRACTICE AND WAY TO AVOID TO BE A VICTIM . THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND I JUST HOPE THAT POSTING THIS WILL PREVENT ANY JEEP OWNER TO GET IN MY POSITION . I FEEL ABANDON BY JEEP AND THE LACK OF INTEREST OF GENERAL PUBLIC IN THOSE CYBER-THEFF THAT WITH ALL THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WILL FIND OUR CAR A LUCRATIVE WAY TO LIVE FROM THEIR CRIME . NEW CAR ARE HACKABLE , THERE IS SO MANY CASE SHOWING THIS GROWING CONCERN BUT IT MADE ME EVEN MORE SCARED WHEN WHAT SEEM TO BE A "EASY" SCAM IS NOT EVEN CONSIDER BY JEEP TO FIXED IT THRUE A PATCH OR JUST WARN CLIENT ABOUT THE NEW RISK . P.S. MY MAIN LANGUAGE IS FRENCH SO PLEASE DONT JUDGE THIS POST JUST BY ORTOGRAPHE THIS IS SERIOUS AND NHTSA CAN CONTACT ME WHEN THEY NEED TO IF THEY NEED ANY MORE INFO .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAL AND EMIT A BURNING ODOR. IN ADDITION, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE BRAKES WOULD EMIT A SQUEAL NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE'S CALIBER, ROUTER, AND REAR BRAKES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 31801254 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

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.

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FEET, BUT WILL BLOW HOT AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS LEADS TO ISSUES WITH DEFROSTING AND VISIBILITY.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM: ABS SYSTEM LOCKS WHEELS AND RELEASES THEM EVERY TIME I TRY TO MAKE A TURN WHILE IN MOTION.

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...

THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAL FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE BRAKING, ESPECIALLY IN COLDER CONDITIONS OR WHEN BRAKING HARDER. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS.

EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE CAUSING ROLL BACK WHEN PARKED. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK IN MY DRIVEWAY RUNNING INTO A TREE AND FENCE AT SLOW SPEED.

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FEET BUT WILL BLOW HOT AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS LEADS TO ISSUES WITH DEFROSTING AND VISIBILITY AS WELL AS THE DRIVER BEING SAFE AND ABLE TO FEEL THEIR FINGERS AND FEET WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS A STAR REPORT ON THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. JEEP HOWEVER SAYS I AM OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BOUGHT THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE OVER FLOW TANK AND ALL OTHER RELATED COMPONENTS ARE THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR.

PURCHASED JEEP WRANGLER IN 2013. SOON AFTERWARDS HAD MOISTURE PROBLEMS DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED TOOK JEEP IN SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE NEVER TAKEN TOP OFF BUT I DID TAKE T TOP OFF TWICE, BUT THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IS OVERWHELMING THAT LESS THEN A YEAR I HAVE MOLD, MILDEW AND PUDDLES OF WATER THAT THE DEALERSHIP USED A SUBSTANCE TO COVER FLOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE. ONCE I NOTICED DEALERSHIP STOPS RETURNING CALLS AND REFUSES SERVICE. I SOON DEVELOP ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND DASHBOARD BLINKING OF SIGNALS I.E. SEAT BELT SIGNAL PROMPT WON'T STOP BLINKING AND MAKING DING DING NOISE. ON 20 APRIL DEALERSHIP IN OLYMPIA WASHINGTON REFUSES SERVICE TO CHECK NOW ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT MILEAGE ON JEEP IS 8000 OR LESS MILES IN 4 YEARS DUE TO PROBLEMS OR IN SHOP.

60411 MILES. WHEN DOORS ARE OPENED, UNLOCKED WITH KEY FOB, OR THE HOOD OR BACK HATCH IS OPENED, THE HORN WILL SOUND CONTINUOUSLY FOR 30 SECONDS. HOWEVER, HORN IS NON-OPERATIONAL WHEN DEPRESSING HORN BUTTON. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN WET INSIDE SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT (1 YEAR AND 40000 MILES).
