UNABLE TO GET A RECALL REPAIRED (P61) BECAUSE OF THE FRAUDULENT ACTIONS OF CALIFORNIA SUPERSTORES VALENCIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM IN VALENCIA, CALIFORNIA (661) 379-7709. DEALER FALSELY SUBMITTED THAT THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN 2015 THUS REMOVING MY VEHICLE FROM FURTHER SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THIS RECALL. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN TO CALIFORNIA WHICH THE CHRYSLER JEEP CORPORATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO VERIFY USING THE ONSTAR SYSTEM INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE TRYING TO GET THE TAKATA RECALL COMPLETED ON VEHICLE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEXT YEARS MODEL HAD A RECAP FOR THE 2014 MODEL FOR THE TPM CONTROL MODULE. IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2013 YEAR MODEL. THE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS ALERTING DESPITE THE SENSORS ARE ALL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLENDORA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 931 S LONE HILL AVE, GLENDORA, CA 91740, (909) 480-4070) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROCK CITY DODGE CHRYSLER OF NY (520 ROCK CITY ST, LITTLE VALLEY, NY 14755, (716) 938-6936) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AFTER SITTING IDLE ALL NIGHT, STARTED VEHICLE IN MORNING AND ABS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AS THE REAR BRAKES WERE BEING ENGAGED BY A FAULTY SENSOR. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE AND LIGHTS WENT OUT AND BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION. I PULLED OUT ONTO THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE AND THE JEEP STUTTERED UPON ACCELERATION AND FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER BEFORE IT STOPPED. BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AFTER SHIFTING BACK TO NEUTRAL, I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ONTO THE STREET AND TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS CONDITION OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE. IN JULY OF 2016 THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY FITZGERALD JEEP IN CLEARWATER. CODES C1035 AND C1049 WERE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR. THIS FAULTY SENSOR COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES, AT BEST, OR A FATALITY/FATALITIES AT WORST. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS A FAULTY SENSOR TO OVERRIDE THE DRIVERS ACTION IS A MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED ON THE HIGHWAY AT ROUGHLY 80MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS AND THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. HAVE TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING. EXPERIENCES MOMENTARY BURSTS OF SPEED BUT THEN SPEED DECLINES AGAIN ALTHOUGH THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CAN MY VIN BE ADDED SO I CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED?

ENGINE BEGAN MAKING TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE BAY AT ABOUT 77,000 MILES. JEEP HAS BEEN SERVICED AS REQUIRED WITH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OIL AND FILTERS SINCE NEW. DONE MORE OFTEN THAN JEEP REQUIRES. TOOK TO DEALER WHO AGREED IT WAS MAKING NOISE AND NEEDED FIXED. WHEN VALVE COVERS WERE REMOVED THEY FOUND ROCKER ARMS BAD ON 2 CYLINDERS AND TAPPETS COLLAPSED ON 3 CYLINDERS. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT. THEY HAVE A STAR CASE BULLETIN, # S1309000016 PUBLISHED ABOUT THIS. SAID THEY ARE DOING SEVERAL OF THE PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES A MONTH. THIS IS A ENGINE THAT IS USED IN MINI VANS, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS, 200'S AND 300'S, MAYBE OTHERS. HAPPENING IN ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS. ROCKER ARM BEARINGS NOT HARDENED CORRECTLY IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE JEEP TO A DENTAL APPOINTMENT DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR. I HEAR A CLING CLUNK SOUND AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN A LOUD BANG AND JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO GO. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY I SMELL A AWFUL SMELL. SO I SHUT MY TRUCK OFF. CALLED MY HUSBAND AND LEAVE MY TRUCK AND GET A RIDE TO DENTAL APPOINTMENT. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I GET A CALL TWO DAYS LATER STATING MY EMERGENCY BREAK SYSTEM HAD FAULTED AND ENGAGED IT'S SELF SNAPPING MY AXEL, SPEED SENSOR AND BREAK ROTOR. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE RIPPED AND EVERYTHING WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EMERGENCY BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ON THE HIGH WAY AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE FLIPPED MY VEHICLE WITH ME AND MY CHILDREN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER DO TO IT BEING FAULTY EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM.
