2016 Jeep Wrangler complaints

WHEN I CRANK MY VEHICLE AND PLACE IT IN DRIVE THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND THE BREAKING SYSTEM BEGINS TO LOCK DOWN THE BRAKES AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK TO A STOP. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE I AM ON THE PUBLIC ROADWAY. THE DOWNHILL BREAKING ENGAGES WHEN ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL CLEAR ITSELF OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY TILL THE NEXT DAY.

I WAS ON A MAJOR CITY STREET BEHIND A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. I MADE A MANUVER TO PASS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE CAR ACCERERATED ON IT'S OWN. I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE GAS PEDAL BEING PULLED DOWN (AS MY FOOT WAS STILL GENTLY ON THE PEDAL). I IMMEDIATELY LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR REACHED 36 MPH QUICKLY APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH NOW WAS STOPPED. I IMMEDIATLEY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARD. THE CAR STOPPED AND THE RED WARNING LIGHT FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR LIT ON THE DASH. I AM A CAR DEALER AND AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH PROFESSIONAL DRIVER TRAINING. I FEEL MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE WE PUT THE MANUFACTUER DIAGNOSTIC TOOL ON THE VEHICLE. WE WERE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE REPORT. I ALSO TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DASH AND REPORTED TO THE FACTORY SERVICE REP AND FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST.

I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND IT WAS READING A P0302 CODE. THIS CODE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "PENTASTAR TICK". I KNEW THAT THIS MEANT THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD MAY BE CRACKED AS THERE ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS DEFECTIVE.*DT*JB

2016 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES HAS, FOR SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR, A FAULTY ESC SYSTEM AND IT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE, LOSS OF POWER, AND SUDDEN STEERING CHANGES. NISSAN BROTHERS HAD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS ISSUE THE FIRST TIME...

AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT REASON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STEADY ON. MECHANIC RAN FAULT CODES AND RECEIVED ABOUT 15 FAULT CODES ON COMPUTER RELATED TO AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SRS. APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

WHEN I AM TURNING LEFT THE ABS LIGHTS AND STABILITY LIGHTS TURN ON. THERE IS ALSO A WEIRD NOISE. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT IS A CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS COMMON FOR THE JEEP WRANGLERS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.

2016 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE WIPERS STAY ON AT ALL TIMES, WIPER SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. LIGHTS STAY ON AT ALL TIMES, SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. HORN DOES NOT WORK. BLINKERS DO NO WORK. HIGH/LOW BEAM ALSO INOPERABLE. DASH LIGHTS EXTREMELY LOW, CAN BARELY SEE THEM AND WE ARE 35 YR OLD OWNERS WITH GOOD 20/25 VISION. FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS OR MECHANICAL TERMS, HAVING A VEHICLE WITH THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS LIKE DRIVING SOMETHING POSSESSED. TIPM ON THIS VEHICLES ARE KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND FCA HAS AGREED TO RECALL CERTAIN VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN ISSUED CAME TO LIGHT.

IN LAST 4 YEARS OR SO OF OWNERSHIP THE REAR BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD TWICE. SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AT FAIR OAKS JEEP DODGE RAM IN CHANTILLY, VA. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE. REPORTING IN CASE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES.

A COMMON NUMBER 4 CYLINDER MISFIRE THAT SEEMS TO COMMON ON ALL JEEP FORUMS. THE CODE WAS FOUND TO BE A NO COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDER. ALTHOUGH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE, JEEP DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? MY ENGINE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND I'M BEING TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN STARTING CAR -ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER-AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING AREA ENGINE WILL STALL/JAR AND AT TIMES DIE OUT REQUIRING PUTTING INTO PARK AND RESTARTING. CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT NOT BEING MOVED FAST ENOUGH. THERE IS A WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 6MO + AND IS CONTINUOUSLY QUESTIONED AND EVALUATED. WE'VE BEEN TOLD IT HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER JEEPS AND THERE IS A FIX BUT THIS HAS YET TO BE CORRECTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE ABNORMALLY, AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER GOING OVER A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VIDEON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 4951 WEST CHESTER PIKE NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA 19073, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V201000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WHILE SITTING STILL I STARTED MY JEEP AND ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE FIRST FEW HOURS IT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY, NOW IT'S ON ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH COSTS $410 FOR THE PART ALONE AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THERE MUST BE A LOT OF JEEPS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THAT MEANT MY AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME SHE SAID NO QUITE THE OPPOSITE IT MEANT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM A MAIL CARRIER AND HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2016 RHD JEEP OWNERS AND THEY HAD RECALLS TO REPAIR THEIRS BUT MINE DIDN'T MAKE THE RECALL LIST. MY JEEP IS MY LIVELIHOOD, NOW I HAVE TO WORRY THAT IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION I'M AT A MUCH HIGHER RISK FOR INJURY OR FATALITY. *TR

THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE NOTORIOUS TO GIVE OUT IN THESE VEHICLES. EVEN AT LOW MILEAGE. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON LIMITING PERFORMANCE AND CAUSING ISSUES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE SERVICE. THEIR ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT CAN BE EITHER LOCATION OR INAPPROPRIATE GUARD TO COVER WIRING. JEEP STATES IT IS PART OF MAINTENANCE BUT A SIMPLE PLASTIC COVER WOULD ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED TO DEBRI OR CAUSING FAULTY.

MY DAUGHTER HAD HER RIGHT HAND PINKY FINGER TOP SEMI AMPTUATED WITH A TUFT FRACTURE WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF THE STRIKER AND LATCH. THIS HAPPENED ON JAN 2019 AND WE PAID OVER 10K IN MEDICAL BILLS AND HER PINKY IS DISFIGURED. WE HAVEN'T REACH OUT TO LAWYERS BUT WE DO SEE A FLAW WITH THE STRIKER AND DOOR SETUP WITH THE 4 DOOR JEEPS THAT A REDESIGN OR COVER WOULD HELP. THE ISSUE IS ANY BOOSTER SEAT OR CHILD CAR SEAT PUTS A TODDLER OR KIDS HAND/FINGERS AT RISK WHICH FALL WITHIN 1-2 INCHES FROM THE BRACKET OF THE DOOR OF THE ARM REST OF MOST MAJOR BRAND SEATS. THIS SITS LEVEL TO THE STRIKER AND LATCH. THE PROXIMITY OF THE SEATBELT AND THE LEVEL AT THE DOOR STRIKER IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR LITTLE ONES SITTING IN BACK. THERE IS NO GUARD OR BARRIER TO PREVENT FROM TINY FINGER BEING CAUGHT IN THE STACK AND BEING STRUCK BY THE DOOR OR STRIKER. FROM THE INSIDE, WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE REAR DOOR STRIKER AND LATCH. NOT ONLY FINGERS BUT HAIR TOO IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS CONCERNING TO US EVERY TIME WE PUT OUR LITTLE ONES IN THE BACK. IF NEED BE I CAN SEND A VIDEO OF IT AND REPLICATE THE RISK. I DID CONTACT A NEWS AGENCY BUT WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.*DT*JB*DT*JS*DT*JB

THE VEHICLES AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOW FAIL TO WORK. LOOKED ONLINE FOUND IT IS THE CLOCK SPRING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. DEALER QUOTE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS 679.00

I REPLACED A SINGLE ROLLER ROCKER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE EARLY IN 2019. NOW I AM LOOKING AT A FAILED ROLLER ROCKER ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND POTENTIALLY AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

2016 JEEP WRANGLER JKU WITH 60119 MILES AT DISCOVERY OF ISSUES BY DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER WAS TO COVER MAINTENANCE ON BLOWN HEAD ENGINE HEAD GASKETS FOLLOWING INSPECTION. ON 23FEB20 I NOTICED EXCESSIVE VAPOR COMING OUT OF MY EXHAUST ON MY WAY HOME, I CHECKED MY COOLANT AND OIL TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS FINDING LOW COOLANT LEVELS HOWEVER IT WAS STILL WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. IT WAS DETERMINED MY HEAD GASKET WAS DAMAGED AND A REPAIR WAS NECESSARY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED THE ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR WHICH CHRYSLER WAS INFORMED OF GIVEN TERMS FOR COVERING THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED RIGHT AT WARRANTY. I FOUND THE ENGINE WAS STILL HAVING A PROBLEM WITH AIR IN THE RADIATOR/COOLANT LINE AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A COOLANT PURGE. DURING INSPECTION THE CHRYSLER MASTER MECHANIC NOTICED THE MAIN COOLANT FAN WAS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED. THE MAIN COOLANT FAN OPERATION WAS INTERMITTENT WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LONG TERM OVERHEATING AS THE ROOT CAUSE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET WHICH WAS TO DETERMINED BY THE CHRYSLER FACILITY TO HAVE BEEN FAILING OVER THE LAST 10,000 MILES. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND APPROVED MAINTENANCE AS WITH THE OTHER FAILED ITEMS. I CONTACTED WORLD JEEP AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP FOUND GASKET INSTALLED WAS DEFECTIVE, THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED UNABLE TO PROVIDE HEAT IN THE CAB AND THE ENGINE HAD A KNOCKING NOISE.

VEHICLE DIES WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE FIRST START OF THE DAY. A LITTLE BIT OF A CLUNK IS ALSO EXPERIENCED WHEN THIS HAPPENS

AFTER REPLACING THE IGNITION COILS ( TWICE) AND MISFIRING SPARK PLUGS, MY ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON. AFTER MULTIPLE COMPUTER READINGS, THAT KEEP SAYING THE SAME THING, IS NOT TURNING OFF. THE DEALER AND OTHER MECHANICS STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN OTHER JEEPS AS WELL. THEY TELL ME TO CAMPAIGN FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I STILL HAVE 2 YEARS OF PAYMENTS AND WANT TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED.

WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A LAUNDROMAT, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING A COMPLETE STOP WHEN EMPLOYED; INSTEAD THE JEEP UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AND LAUNCHED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE LAUNDROMAT, STRIKING THE WALL THEREOF AND A WASHING MACHINE ,WHEREFORE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE AIR BAGS ASSEMBLY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEUWIRTH MOTORS LOCATED AT (219 S COLLEGE RD, WILMINGTON, NC 28403) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 100,000.

UPON FIRST START OF DAY, USUALLY COLDER MORNINGS, ONCE THE JEEP HAS BEEN WARMED UP, UPON GOING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, THE JEEP WILL SHUDDER HARD BUT KEEP RUNNING OR IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED.

REAR PASSENGER SIDE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED IN SEPTEMBER, 2019 AT 23,469 MILES AND REPAIRED AT A COST OF $310.31. REAR DRIVER SIDE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED IN MARCH, 2020 AT 26,835 MILES AND REPAIRED AT A COST OF $244.41. WITH EACH FAILURE, VEHICLE'S ABS, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CRUISE CONTROL BECAME INOPERATIVE AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ENGAGE THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS.

PURCHASED PRE-OWNED ON NOV 9, 2019 WITH APPROX 23,100 MILES. ON JAN 2, 2020, AT APPROX 23,900 MILES, JEEP WAS ASCENDING EXIT RAMP WHILE BRAKING. CRUISE WAS ON BUT DISENGAGED. STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITH BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, COLLIDED WITH CAR STOPPED AT LIGHT. SHUT ENGINE OFF AS JEEP CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AGAINST STOPPED CAR. ACCIDENT REPORT MADE. TOOK TO DEALER, WHO COULD FIND NO CAUSE FOR RANDOM ACCELERATION. DEALER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER WHO SENT 3RD PARTY INSPECTOR TO EXAMINE JEEP AND CONTENTS OF DATA RECORDER. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MANUFACTURER TWO WEEKS LATER STATING THEY DID NOT 'BELIEVE' THE VEHICLE WAS AT FAULT. ON FEB 28, 2020 AT 24,564 MILES, JEEP WAS STOPPED AT LIGHT ON EXIT RAMP, WHEN SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. CRUISE WAS OFF. IMMEDIATELY SHUT ENGINE OFF, BUT WAS STILL PUSHED FORWARD A COUPLE FEET. LUCKILY WAS ALONE AT LIGHT, SO NO ACCIDENT. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN, WHO COULD STILL FIND NO CAUSE. THEY AGAIN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ANY FURTHER WORD.*DT VIN UNAVAILABLE*JB

RECURRING ISSUE. WHEN STARTING JEEP, TYPICALLY IN THE MORNING AFTER SITTING FOR THE NIGHT, IT WILL STALL AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. THIS REQUIRES PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK, REMOVING THE KEY AND ATTEMPTING TO START AGAIN.

PCM REPROGRAMMED WITH ONLY 3,556

WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERS THE VEHICLE IDLES LOW AND ROUGH, ALMOST SHUTTING OFF.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND SWITCHED TO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE STALLS. WHEN PLACED INTO PARK, AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE SHIFTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

WHEN I PUT THE JEEP IN REVERSE AND START BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY IT STUTTERS AND DIES. YOU CAN START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND IT MAY DO IT AGAIN OR WILL RUN CORRECTLY. IT HAS ALSO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY PROPERLY AND THEN STUTTERS AND DIED WHEN PUT IN DRIVE.

JEEP STALLS WHEN COLD AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE

AUTO TRANS: SLIGHT ROUGH IDLE AT STOP IN GEAR, ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHEN PUT IN REVERSE RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN FIRST DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY EVEN WHEN VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP.

TORQUE CONVERTOR STALLS ENGINE AND SHUTTERS WHEN COLD. START THE ENGINE, TRY TO PUT IN GEAR AND IT EITHER STALLS OR MAKES THE ENTIRE JEEP SHUDDER. THE JEEP HAS TO BE COMPLETELY WARMED UP BEFORE PUTTING INTO GEAR OR IT STALLS/SHUDDERS. IT HAS STALLED ONCE WHEN GOING TO A STOP AND I HAD NO POWER ANYTHING (STEERING, ABS. . .) AND ENDED UP IN THE INTERSECTION. WARRANTY PERSON WENT TO DEALER AND DENIED REPAIR WORK. I HAVE ON VIDEO (SEVERAL TIMES) THAT IT STALLS/SHUDDERS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE SEVERAL MECHANICS (NOT JUST MY DEALER) THAT I HAVE SPOKE TO. MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET ALL REPAIRS HAS IT ON RECORD OF STALLING/SHUDDERING WHEN I LEFT IT THERE TO TRY GETTING THE REPAIRS. UNABLE TO UPLOAD VIDEOS HERE TO SHOW WHAT IT DOES.

NOTICED OIL LEAKING ALL UNDER CARRIAGE OF VEHICLE. OIL BEING DISPLAYED FROM FRONT OF ENGINE TO BACK OF JEEP. SMELL OIL AND EVEN SEE SMOKE.POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR TWO ABS SENSORS, ONE IN THE FRONT AND ONE IN THE REAR. THIS LAST SENSOR BLOWOUT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT. I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND FELT THE VIBRATION IN THE BREAK PEDDLE AS I TRIED TO STOP. THE JEEP THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY AFTER I GOT IT STOPPED AS I TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD A PROBLEM MOVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AS THE ABS KEPT KICKING IN AND GRINDING ME TO A STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SENSOR WAS HAVING A ISSUE PICKING UP THE SPEED OF THE TIRES. MY JEEP WRANGLER SPORT IS A 2016 4 DOOR MODEL, IT SPENT 2017 IN A STORAGE AND I BOUGHT IT LATE 2016. IT CURRENTLY HAS 68795 MILES ON IT. IN THE 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS ON THE ROAD I'VE REPLACED TWO ABS SENSORS, HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR MISFIRING AND MY AC UNITS BLOWER MOTOR SEEMS TO BE FAILING. AS A COMPARISON, I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER THAT HAS BEEN IN FOR LESS REPAIRS.

UPON MY FIRST START OF THE DAY (COLD START) MY JEEP STARTS NO ISSUE AT ALL BOTH REMOTE START AND STANDARD IGNITION. WHEN I PUT MY JEEP INTO REVERSE, THE RPM'S DROP AND THE JEEP SHUTTERS AND THEN STALLS. SOMETIMES IT DOES A HARD SHUTTER LOW IDLE AND CAN STAY ALIVE BUT USUALLY STALLS. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS THAT SAY IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER. PLEASE HELP.

MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. FIRST TIME INTO THE DEALER STAYED 3 DAYS. LIGHT CAME BACK ON 2 MONTHS LATER. IT HAS NOW BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP FOR 9 WEEKS, WITH NO REPAIR TO DATE. SEARCHING INDICATES THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FROM CHRYSLER. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THERE AT 12K JEEPS MARIO.WIDE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REPORTS THEY CANNOT GET THE PART NEEDED. IT DISPLAYED NO RUNNING ISSUES AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT WOULD BE SET OFF. IT WOULD COME ON UNDER ANY CONDITION, SLOW OR REGULAR DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND WAS REVERSED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER DRIVING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH REED CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 1724 N SPRING ST, BEAVER DAM, WI 53916 (920) 887-2300 WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO A TORQUE SENSOR FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, ONLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND I ATTEMPT TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, IT STALLS OUT. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE RMP'S WILL DROP BUT IT WON'T ACTUALLY STALL OUT. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THIS SITE AND ALL OVER THE JEEP FORUM. IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THIS WAS REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. IT TOOK TWO DIFFERENT TRIPS, TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS AND FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. I AM UNSURE WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL AS SO MANY JEEP OWNERS APPEAR TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE LEAKS WATER FROM THE FRONT DOORS AND FILLS THE FLOOR WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WINTER UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN THIS WINTER. UPON DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS A PERVASIVE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. I ASKED MY SISTER INLAW IF HER NEW JEEP WAS LEAKING AND IT IS. I ALSO WENT INTO SOME JEEP FORUMS AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOORS SEAL AND THE WAY THE DESIGN DISPERSES WATER. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND MY CONCERN IS THE CARPET ROTTING OUT,MOLD AS WELL AS THE FLOOR PAN CORRODING AS NOTED BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LEAKER WATER INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE FLOOR MATS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BICE MOTOR, INC. 2133 CHEROKEE RD, ALEXANDER CITY, AL 35010, PHONE NUMBER: 256-392-7538) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER USED A REPAIR KIT TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIR PERFORMED BUT IT FAILED TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. *TR *DT*JB

THE FIRST INCIDENCE, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY EVENING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 25MPH CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NEARLY COLLIDE AND FORCING US BOTH OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BH A MECHANIC AND HE FOUND NOTHING SO SAID TO BRING IT BACK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR A WEEK AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN FROM THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE ROAD NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES FORCING DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO PASS. I FIND IT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST MILE OR 2 AFTER STARTING A DRIVE AND THEN IS OK. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED REPLACE ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL MODULES ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKES AND REPLACE THE BRAKES AND PADS SINCE THE SEIZING OF THE ABS HAS CAUSED PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BRAKES. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS BUT CANNOT AFFORD $1300 REPAIR ESPECIALLY IF IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER SAFETY RECALL.

9/27/2019. 4:30PM. ACCELERATED NORMALLY ON CITY STREET FROM STOP LIGHT AND MADE LEFT TURN. AS I TURNED, ENGINE CHOKED AND STUMBLED AND VEHICLE HAD REDUCED POWER, SLOWING VEHICLE. TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHT CAME ON. CAR BEHIND ALMOST HIT ME. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS, ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL AND VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED. 10-15 SECONDS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE DASH LIGHTS COMING ON. ENGINE REDUCED POWER AND VEHICLE SLOWED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC. AFTER 10 SECONDS, ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL, DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN NORMAL SINCE THEN. WEATHER AT THE TIME: SUNNY, 85 DEGREES, DAYLIGHT. ROADS COMPLETELY DRY. VEHICLE DID NOT DRIVE THRU WATER, ETC. HAD BEEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS 25-40 MPH FOR 20 MINUTES. CALLED DEALER. NO HELP ON PHONE. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALER ON NOV 6, 2019 AND THEY FOUND CODE "C1043 PERFORMANCE" BUT SAID NOTHING MORE. TECH WRITE UP SAYS "LEFT REAR TONE WHEEL PERFORMANCE CODE HAS GONE STORED. NO CAUSE PRESENT. RESET CODE". ABOUT 35,800 MILES ON VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. STOCK WRANGLER 4 DOOR SPORT.

ON COLD START THE VEHICLE STALL WHEN YOU PLACE IT INTO GEAR. RPMS DROP BEFORE STALLING. HAPPEN WITH AND WITHOUT AUTO START.

RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60 AND ABOVE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHAKING ON THE 2016 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THAT CAUSES US TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A STOP WHILE STILL ON THE HIGHWAY. SHAKING HAS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 24TH, 2019 AFTER DRIVING OVER POTHOLES/ROAD JOINTS ON THE FREEWAY; AND AGAIN, ON DECEMBER 26, 2019 ON A STRAIGHT SURFACE ON THE FREEWAY. ONE HAS TO HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO AS TO KEEP FROM VEERING OUT OF CONTROL AND ONTO ANOTHER VEHICLE/ROAD SEPARATOR BECAUSE THE JEEP'S TIRES BEGIN TO SWERVE SIDE TO SIDE RAPIDLY. THE SWERVING TIRES CAUSES THE JEEP TO RATTLE AND BECOME JUMPY. THE SEVERE SHAKING ALSO FEELS AS IF A TIRE IS COMING OFF AND WILL BREAK DOWN THEN AND THERE. SLOWING ONE'S SPEED AND SLOWLY PRESSING ON THE BREAK HELPS SLOW AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE SHAKING ONCE COMPLETELY STOPPED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE JEEP AND MUST BE EXTRA ATTENTIVE AT ALL TIMES NOW FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE CARPOOL LANE, GOING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 70 MPH, I DROVE OVER A POTHOLE/ROAD IMPERFECTION AND THE JEEP BEGAN SHAKING SEVERELY TO A POINT OF ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SHAKING THE WHEELS SWERVE SIDE TO SIDE AND CAUSES THE JEEP TO BECOME JUMPY AND RATTLE. IN ORDER TO SAFELY STOP THE SHAKING AND NOT LOSE CONTROL I HAD TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE CARPOOL LANE, I COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO NO SHOULDER. THE CARS BEHIND SAW THE SHAKING AND SLOWED TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE, HOWEVER IF THEY HADN'T IT COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SHAKING I ALSO HAVE TO GRAB TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO AS TO NOT VEER ON TO VEHICLES OR WALLS NEXT TO ME. I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE CARPOOL LANE AND MADE MY WAY TO THE FARTHEST RIGHT LANE AND DROVE NO FASTER THAN 60 MPH FOR FEAR OF THE SHAKING/LOSING CONTROL TO REOCCUR.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET AND THE PERSON COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION CROSSED THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE. WE COLLIDED HEAD ON AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD RECENTLY REPLACED THE AIRBAG DUE TO A RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE BEING TOTALED. FURTHERMORE I RECEIVED SEVERAL INJURIES INCLUDING A CONCUSSION AND WHIPLASH. THE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY ON THE KIA THAT HIT ME.

CONTACT STATED VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WEEK BEFORE, ANTI SKID AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON BUT SHUTS OFF. DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN ENGINE DIED. FIRE BROKE OUT INSTANTLY FROM THE FRONT RIGHT CONSUMING ENTIRE VEHICLE. WE HAD JUST LEFT A DIRT ROAD ONTO THE PAVED ROAD, DROVE ABOUT 200-300 YARDS WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.*DT*JB

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE WHEN COLD. THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONLY FIRST START OF THE DAY. WHEN TRANSMISSION FLUID IS UNDER 120 DEGREES, IT WILL STALL IN REVERSE WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED. UPON RESTART, THE STARTER WILL ENGAGE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS, THE STARTER WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TOO LONG. WHEN THE VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER A STALL, IT WILL IDLE ROUGH WHEN SHIFTED BACK INTO REVERSE. NO PROBLEMS IN DRIVE. STARTED AT A MILEAGE OF AROUND 35,000. VEHICLE NOW AT 58,000 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED.

ON FIRST START OF THE DAY IN COLD WEATHER, AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND SHIFTING INTO R (WITH BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED), CAR WILL FREQUENTLY DROP INTO EXTREMELY LOW RPM RANGE (<= 500RPM) AND/OR STALL AND DIE COMPLETELY. THIS IS PRIMARILY ONLY ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY AND IN COLDER WEATHER (SUB 40F DEGREE)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODHOUSE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (2101 6TH ST, SIOUX CITY, IA 51101, (712) 277-3221) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE CAMSHAFT CAUSED BY ROCKER ARM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CAMSHAFT AND ROCKER ARMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *JS
