2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

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.

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.
