2013 Jeep Wrangler complaints

2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON 4X4 VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND THEN WILL NOT START AGAIN FOR 4-5 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND HAS PUT US IN SOME VERY UNSAFE SITUATIONS. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION AND CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS TO US MULTIPLE TIMES PER WEEK. YESTERDAY IT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES TO DRIVE 4 MILES BECAUSE IT STALLED THREE TIMES. I SEE BLOGS WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BUT STILL NO RECALL. THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW HOW OR DO NOT WANT TO FIX AND MEANWHILE CONSUMERS ARE STUCK WITH UNRELIABLE, UNSAFE VEHICLES.

TIPM ISSUE, JEEP WILL NOT START, ALL INSTRUMENTS LIGHT ARE ON AND SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. THE JEEP SPUTTERS AND IT VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS.

I HAVE 2013 JEEP WRANGLE UNLIMITED. I BOUGHT THIS IN 2013 FOR MY WIFE. THE JEEP HAD ABOUT 11,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT. THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED OCCURRING ABOUT 6-MONTH INTO OWNERSHIP. I ALIGNED, BALANCED AND REPLACED TWO TIRES. NOW, THE DEATH WOBBLE IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. AT 55 MILES PER HOUR, THE WOBBLE OCCURS.

TIPM IS BAD. DOOR DON'T OPEN OR LOCK AT TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN JEEP IS TURNED OFF THE JEEP RADIO WILL NOT TURN OFF. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES IN AT TIMES

TAKATA RECALL. VEHICLE DOES NOT STAY DRY. TOP HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED, T-TOP REMOVED ONCE, LEAKS, MOISTURE CONDENSATION PROBLEM WHERE A GREEN HOUSE EFFECT OCCURS REGULARLY, MOLD GROWS QUITE RAPIDLY JEEP HAS BEEN IN SHOP EVERY WINTER SEASON WITH MOISTURE PROBLEMS. GIVEN BACK WITH ASSURANCE OF NOT REOCCURRING. EVERY WINTER I RETURN WITH SAME PROBLE NOW DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO HELP AND HAS DIRECTED ME TO GO ELSEWHERE WITH A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE ON 8 FEBRUARY I AM UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING ANY WARRANTY WORK MUST BE DONE AT SAME GARAGE WHY? AM I BEING TOLD THEY CAN NOT FIX VEHICLE OR HELP ME? I AM HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NOW TOO AND I CAN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF PERSISTING TO HANG UP OR REFUSING TO DIRECT ME TO MANAGEMENT P 8 FEBUARY I FILED AN ATTORNEY GENERAL COMPLAINT BUT THEY DON'T REPRESENT UNLESS SEVERAL HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE LEMON LAW AND ARE HOSTILE TO DEAL WITH. ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS DRIVER SEAT BELT SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT IS FASTENED. WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME ADDRESSING THE WARRANTY PROBLEM WITH DEALERSHIP AND AN AVOIDANCE TO REPLACE I FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT IN 2014 SINCE THEN NOTHING BUT CONTINUED PROBLEMS AND JEEP REMAINS UNFIXED ON THE LAST VISIT AN EXTRA SUBSTANCE WAS PUT ON FLOORBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE TO INDICATE A HOLE HAD BEEN FIXED WITH PUTTING A PERMANENT COMPOUND CALLED RHINO PLASTER. WHEN CONFRONTED I WAS TOLD IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY LIKE THAT AFTER RESEARCHING I WAS IN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 04/06/17 LJ *CN

WASHER FLUID AND DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. DEALER SAYS THE TIMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH, POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER. PER JEEP / CHRYSLER / DODGE / RAM / MOPAR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-034-14 REV. A AND TSB-18-034-14 ON SOME MODEL VEHICLES AND JEEPS, (MY 2013-2014) THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATES AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0520 IS SET REGARDING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. THE TSB OUTLINES REPLACING THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WITH A "REVISED" PART. CHRYSLER INSTALLED DEFECTIVE SENSORS ON MANY 2013-2014 3.6L ENGINES AND WILL ONLY REPLACE THEM IF THEY FAIL WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IF THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, IT MAY NOT ALERT YOU TO AN ISSUE WITH OIL PRESSURE. THIS CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE / LOSS OF POWER.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. DEFAULT CODE SHOWS PROBLEM WITH OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. BUT CHECK ENGINE GOES OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS AT 3/4 FUEL TANK, THEN GOES BACK ON WHEN AT 1/4 FUEL. THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR PROBLEM APPEARS COMMON TO THESE VEHICLES. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE NOTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND EXPLANATION IS THAT JEEP KNOWS THERE WERE FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSORS INSTALLED OVER MANY VEHICLE MODELS AND YEARS. THE REPAIR IS ROUGHLY $400 - $500 AS THE HEAD NEEDS TO BE PULLED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, MANY STILL REPORT THE CHECK ENGINE PROBLEM AFTER THE REPAIR IS MADE. UNKNOWN AS TO EXTENT OF DAMAGE THE ENGINE MAY EXPERIENCE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

NOV 3, 2016...I ARRIVED HOME, BACKED MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR MOAB EDITION INTO HER GARAGE BAY AND LEFT THE BAY DOOR OPEN SINCE IT WAS SUNNY OUT AND WENT UP TO THE HOUSE TO PREPARE DINNER. 20 MINS AFTER COMING HOME, WE HEARD A BOOM, LOOKED OUT TO SEE BLACK SMOKE POURING OUT THE OPEN GARAGE DOOR FOR OUR JEEP. MY HUSBAND RAN DOWN, USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE FIRE AND THEN THE WATER HOSE, THEN PUSHED THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE THE GARAGE AND HOSED IT OFF MORE BEFORE THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, TRAIL LIGHTS AND WINCH IS WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. THE EXPLOSION WE HEARD WAS A SMALL CANISTER BY THE RADIATOR FOR THE AC.

CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONCERNING MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY "AIR BAG HARNESS" THAT WAS GIVING RED LIGHT ON DASH. THEY HAVE STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF RECALL. MY JEEPS MFR DATE FALLS WITHIN THE SPECIFICS OF THE RECALL ON THIS PART. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT IN FACT THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHEN VEHICLE WA PURCHASED AND TAKEN BACK TO CHRYSLER WITHIN 30 DAYS DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 700 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HOLD CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 01/26/2017*CT *CN

MIL IS ILLUMINATED PERIODICALLY FOR DTC P0306. LOW COMPRESSION DETECTED IN CYLINDER 6.

NOISY LOUD DEFROST FAN MOTOR NOT MAINTAINING SPEED, MAY COME AND GO PRODUCING A NO DEFROST CONDITION AND HAMPERING ABILITY TO SEE. MAY COME AND GO, A HIGH PITCH SQEEK OR CLICKING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE FAN BEARINGS.

MY NEW TO ME, BUT STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2DR, CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN 250KMS FROM THE JEEP DEALER TO ME, THEN PARKED UNTIL THE EVENING. I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE FOR ABOUT 40KM WITHOUT INCIDENT, PARKED, AND HAD DINNER WITH A FRIEND. AFTER DINNER, I USED THE REMOTE START TO TEST IT, UNLOCKED IT, AND GOT IN AND DROVE OFF. I STOPPED AT A STORE A MINUTE UP THE ROAD, LEFT IT IDLING, AND CAME OUT TO FIND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I PROCEEDED TOWARDS HOME, BUT TWO MINUTES LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, FOLLOWED BY A VERY LOUD BANG, THEN THEN THE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. I WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 10KM/HR IN A NEIGHBOUTHOOD HAVING JUST TURNED FROM A STOP. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, MY PASSENGER AND I JUMPED OUT, CALLED 911, AND WATCHED AS A FIRE COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE PASSENGER SIDE, WITH SOMETHING DRIPPING AND BURNING AS WELL, CONSUMED THE FRONT OF THE JEEP. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP CANADA BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE RESPONSES. INSURANCE DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I'D OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8 HOURS. IT HAD 50,000KMS ON THE ODOMETER, AND ONE OUTSTANDING RECALL (14V-631) THAT WASN'T DONE PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME.

WHEN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS BEING PERFORMED AT THE DEALER THE TRANSMISSION CASE BROKE AROUND A PORTION OF THE CASE WHERE ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN BOLTED ON. ONE OF THE MECHANICS COMMENTED THAT THIS PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE APPEARED THIN. THE TRANSMISSION CASE WAS SENT BACK TO THE FACTORY BY THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE OF THE METAL OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THIS BEING A "TRAIL RATED" VEHICLE AND BEING INTENDED FOR EXPOSURE TO OFF ROAD CONDITIONS AND THIS PART FAILURE BEING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS AND, OF COURSE, IF IT WERE TO FAIL IN REGULAR DRIVING. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE COULD LOOSE POWER AND THUS LOOSE CONTROL AND UNDER OFF ROAD CONDITIONS COULD CREATE A VERY PRECARIOUS AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR CYLINDER MISFIRES DUE TO COIL ISSUES. SATURDAY 10/29/2016 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING THE CAR WAS SHAKING SO BAD I PULLED OVER INSTANTLY. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE SO I COULD CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK, THE CAR OVER HEATED BECAUSE OF THE COIL MISFIRE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MORE THAN JUST ME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW RELATED TO THIS ISSUE.

BOUGHT IT WITH 36,800 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL/DIE AFTER START AND ENGAGING DRIVE OR REVERSE. ALSO CAN DO IT COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT. HAS HAPPENED 20 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. HAPPENED ONCE ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ONCE YOU RESTART THE TRANSMISSION TAKES UP TO 10 SECONDS TO SHIFT IN THE SELECTED GEAR. ALSO, WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE ON ONE OCCASION, HAD TO STOP TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET TO WORK. A/C BLOWER TURNS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. BLUE TOOTH HAS STOPPED WORKING WITH PHONE. I CANNOT HEAR THE PEOPLE ANYMORE THROUGH THE STEREO.

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING MY JEEP RUBICON OFF ROAD IN 4WD HIGH AND WAS HEADING DOWN A STEEP SLOP AND WHILE SHIFTING MY 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM 3RD TO 2ND THE GEAR SHIFT ARM PULLED OF ITS MOUNT. DUE TO THE SHIFT ARM ASSEMBLY COMING OFF, I MISSED 2ND GEAR AND ENDED UP STUCK IN NEUTRAL. BEFORE I REALIZED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 20 YARDS FREEWHEELING. DUE TO THE SPEED INCREASE I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES WHICH THEN CAUSED THE JEEP TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND RIDE THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPE WHERE I INVESTIGATED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN HAD TO MAKE TEMPORARY REPAIRS AS I WAS STUCK IN A RAVINE WITH NO EASY WAY OUT. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY REINSTALLED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE RAVINE AND BACK TO CAMP TO IMPROVE THE TEMP REPAIR. I DID NOT DRIVE THE JEEP AGAIN THAT WEEKEND UNTIL I WAS READY TO HEAD HOME. I DROVE IT THE 280 MILES HOME WITH THE TEMPORARY REPAIR IN PLACE. *TR

JEEP RANDOMLY STALLS AND ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. JEEP HAS REPLACED O2 SENSOR, PCM AND TIPM. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE ENGINE WILL QUIT WORKING. PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 45000 MILES AND IS STILL OCCURRING

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS VERY JERKY AT TIMES FOR NO REAL REASON. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND USUALLY SEEM TIED TO TURN ON THE TURN SIGNALS WHICH HAPPEN TO BE ON THE OTHER CONTROL KNOB. LIGHTS WILL DIM ON NAV/RADIO WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON. I WOULD SAY THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUE THAT MUST BE CAUSING THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE (CLOCK SPRING DUST ISSUE) 2013 JEEP WRANGLER JKU LEFT-HAND DRIVE, EXPERIENCING DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE. A RECALL FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS (RECALL #16V288000) APPLIES ONLY TO RIGHT-HAND VEHICLES ONLY. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING BOX FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 11/06/2017*JS

DRIVING AT 45 MPH TODAY ON ROUTE 6 IN SWANSEA MA AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY JEEP STARTS SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T CONTROL IT. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE MORE I DID THE MORE THE FRONT END SHOOK BACK AND FORTH FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT. I CHECKED UNDER THE JEEP AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, THE TIRE TREADS ARE NOT WORN. THE INFLATION OF THE TIRES IS FINE. I JUST HIT 33,000, THE TRUCK WAS JUST INTROSPECTED AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT IN SEPTEMBER. DEATH RUMBLE AS I AVE READ IS COMMON BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE PER YOUR DATABASE. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DUE TO THE YEARS IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. RECOMMENDING A RECALL BASED ON THE 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE A CHANGE TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER. *TR

I OWN A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I TAKE MY JEEP OFF-ROAD EVERY WEEKEND. LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, NV, I CAN KEEP THE TOP OFF 10 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. LIVING IN THE DESERT, IT'S ALSO VERY DUSTY HERE. IN MAY OF 2016, I WAS ON AN OFF-ROADING TRIP, WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING. THEY QUOTED ME $700.00 TO FIX IT...I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY, SO I PAID THEM THE $150.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... TWO DAYS LATER, THE FIRST RECALL FOR CLOCKSPRING CAME OUT. I CALLED THE DEALER BACK, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN #, AND SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THEN SEVERAL MORE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT LISTED. I DID RESEARCH ON CLOCKSPRINGS, AND FOUND OUT THE REASON THEY GO OUT IS DUE TO DUST, FREQUENT OFF-ROAD, AND REMOVING THE TOP. ALL OF WHICH DESCRIBES MY JEEP. IN ADDITION TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING, THE CLOCKSPRING EFFECTS THE HORN, AS WELL AS OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL EMAILS TO JEEP, CHRYSLER, AND MOPAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL JEEP FORUMS SITES, ASKING FOR HELP. IF THE RECALL COVERS ONLY SOME 2013 MODELS, BUT MY MODEL MATCHES THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE RECALL ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THE WIPERS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO INPUT. DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM WHICH CONTROLS MANY FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I'M CONCERNED THIS MALFUNCTION IS POINTING TO A LARGER UNDERLYING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE FRONT AXLE RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ON MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED (LHD), THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND CHIMES EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DASHBOARD CHIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS INDICATES THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS A FAULTY "CLOCKSPRING". THIS RAISES CONCERNS THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR WILL DEPLOY PREMATURELY. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS PART UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THE CURRENT RECALL IS FOR 2007 AND UP RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS ONLY EVEN THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME PART NUMBER. I HAD A 2007 WRANGLER (LHD) YEARS AGO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE CLOCKSPRING. THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON MY PREVIOUS 2007 WRANGLER FOR THE SAME PART NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IF THE SAME PART NUMBER IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST $520 WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD PAY IF OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING THIS JOB COMPLETED FOR FREE. IF MY SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN, PLEASE CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS, AND MOVE TO INCLUDE ALL JEEP WRANGLER MODELS WITH CLOCKSPRING PART NUMBER 68339336AA.

HEADLIGHT HARNESSES GO BAD. LIGHTS FLICKER, DON'T TURN ON WITHOUT MESSING WITH HARNESSES OR TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO MINUTES TO TURN ON OR CHANGE TO HIGH BEAMS. THUS IS WHILE STATIONARY OR WHILE IN MOTION. HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD ALSO AFFECT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING OR TURNING OFF OR ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT DISPLAYED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT CHIME. FAILURE OCCURRED ON 7/15/2016 AT ABOUT 37400 MILES. JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPT (AUTONATION CHRYSLER JEEP ARAPAHOE, CENTENNIAL, CO) CONFIRMED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAD FAILED. NOT REPAIRED DUE TO PART UNAVAILABILITY. VEHICLE IS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED TO WORK FOR THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN TOXIC FUMES EMITTING THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER WERE ACTIVATED, WHICH AFFECTED A CHILD PASSENGER'S BREATHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY ENGINE FAILURES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE SENSORS AND THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PROVIDED NO SOLUTION AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, SMOKE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE AND FLAMES APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE AN INVESTIGATION. THE CONTACT WAS STILL WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2 ISSUES WITH MY 13 WRANGLER UNLIMITED 1ST ... ENGINE TEMP GETS UP TO ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF THE GUAGE. I HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP TWICE AND STILL SAME ISSUES. THEY HAVE REPLACE THERMOSTAT COOLANT FLUSH ECT. THE DEALER CONNOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. I HAVE RESORTED TO ADDING A SECONDARY COOLANT FAN AND IT HELPS A BIT BUT ITS STILL A PROBLEM IVE HAD SINCE A YEAR FATER BUYING IT. 2ND ... THE TRANSMISSION(AUTOMATIC) WHEN GOING UP ANY KIND OF INCLINE IT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT UNTILL ABOUT 6K RPMS. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR THIS ALSO AND DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING THEY CAN FIND.

MY JEEP WAS PARKED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR ABOUT 13 HOURS AND A ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AT AROUND 3AM. IT BURNED HALF THE VEHICLE BEFORE BEING PUT OUT AND TOTALED OUT MY JEEP. IT ALSO DAMAGED THE ENTIRE BACK END OF THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULED THIS WAS A ELECTRICAL FIRE AND NOT ARSON. DAYS BEFORE I NOTICED THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS READING AT 119 DEGREES OUT SIDE WHEN THE TEMP WAS ACTUALLY 99 DEGREES. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT I FOUND IT VERY ODD. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS SOME INVOLVING WORST PROPERTY DAMAGE AND EVEN CASES WITH FATALITIES. I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND GET THESE DAGEROUS VEHICLES OFF THE STREETS ASAP

JEEP RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, NORMALLY LOW SPEED IT WILL CUT BACK ON QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 5-10 MIN FOR A HIGH SPEED CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT THROW ANY CODES AND DEALER CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

SINCE THE SPRING OF 2016, MY JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER IGNITION, AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 20-25 TIMES OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFLASHED THE CONTROL MODULES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TENDENCY TO STALL AT STOP LIGHTS. WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT AND I HAD MY 5 YEARS OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE (STALLING IN REVERSE, AND WHILE IDLING). THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT AWAY, BUT OCCASIONALLY POWER ISN'T AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY (2-3 SECONDS DELAY). JEEP WASN'T AWARE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I CALLED... AND THIS MORNING I LEARNED ABOUT OTHER FCA VEHICLES BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE THEY ARE STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

I HAVE 24,000 MILES AND NOTICED GRINDING COMING FROM MY PASSENGER REAR WHEEL. I WENT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CALIPER IS PARTIALLY FROZE AND NEEDED A NEW ONE. IT ALSO RUINED MY BRAKE AND ROTOR ON THAT SIDE. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ONE SIDE BUT TO MAKE BOTH MATCH. DUE TO A FAULTY CALIPER I AM OUT $500. THE AUTO MECHANIC SAID HE HAS ODDLY SEEN THIS ON RELATIVELY NEW JEEP WRANGLERS TOO FREQUENT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT FROM JEEP FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING OFTEN. I'M NOT TOO SURE ON HOW THE RECALL PROCESS WORKS... BUT I WOULDN'T MIND TRYING TO RECOVER SOME/ALL OF MY COSTS DUE TO FAULTY OEM EQUIPMENT.

MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED HAVING SENSOR PROBLEMS WITHIN A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW!! NOW AFTER THREE YEARS AND MANY SENSORS BEING REPLACED ALONG WITH SENSOR WIRING IT'S NOT DRIVEABLE AND DEALERSHIP MECHANICS CAN NOT FIX IT OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT GOOD, IT HAS TROUBLE CRANKING, AND CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!!! IN THE LAST MONTH I'VE HAD 4 SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE, REPLACED THE ABS MODULE, REPLACED CAM SHAFT SENSOR, AND WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, BUT AFTER I PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP I DRIVE IT A FEW MILES AND LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND IT STARTS RUNNING HORRIBLE AGAIN!! I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE SO SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!! CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CRAPPY JEEPS THEY ARE MAKING, AND MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE (CLOCK SPRING DUST ISSUE) 2013 JEEP WRANGLER JKU LEFT-HAND DRIVE EXPERIENCING DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE. A RECALL FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS (RECALL #16V288000) APPLIES ONLY TO RIGHT-HAND VEHICLES, WHICH USE THE SAME PART. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

SEAT BELT TENSIONER WILL NOT RELEASE TO ENABLE RESTRAINT.

ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE JEEP HAS 42,000 MILES, AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 39,000 MILES. IT HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 MPH AND 65 MPH, ON MODERATELY BUMPY ROADS, HOWEVER, NOT BUMPY ENOUGH TO BE DESCRIBED AS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL. TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 39,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME ROADS UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

THE RADIATOR COOLING LINE RUBBED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER, AND THE RUBBING CAUSED A HOLE WHICH EVACUATED THE A/C FLUID. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND DISTANCE THE RADIATOR LINE SO THAT IT WAS NO LONGER TOUCHING THE CONDENSER. THE JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. THE JOB COSTS OVER $700 AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP.

WOKE UP APPROX. 0230 TO FIND MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE LAST TIME THE JEEP WAS RUNNING WAS APPROX. 8PM THE NIGHT PRIOR.

TRANSMISSION STALLED ON FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. COASTED OFF OF FREEWAY IN NICK OF TIME. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS DEATH DEFYING EXPERIENCE.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. PLEASE, THIS IS NOT OF STONES OR PEBBLES, OR CHIPS. EACH TIME THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED I EITHER HAD THE HEATER OR AIR CONDITIONER ON.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. READ ABOUT THE SAFETY RECALL IN THE NEWS. CALLED THE DEALER. DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED AND A FIX WOULD BE ABOUT $90.00. LIGHT IS ON WHEN STATIONARY OR MOVING ON STREET, HIGHWAY. RECALL INFORMATION INDICATES THAT WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IT IS INDICATIVE THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK. FOG LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AT RANDOM. DEALER ADVISED TIPM IS BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED. BACK LOG ON REPLACEMENT PART AND SHIP DATE IS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHILE DRIVING - MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" BY LARGE NUMBER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MULTIPLE VIDEOS EXIST ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE STABILIZER BUT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND RECOMMENDS AN ADDITIONAL PART AS WELL STAR CASE #S1602000001. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
