2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AT APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT UNLIMITED STARTED "STALLING" INEXPLICABLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE ALL THROTTLE CONTROL, AND YOUR POWER STEERING. WHICH CAN BE CHALLENGING WHEN YOUR IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF A FOUR LANE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH. THIS CAUSED A TRACTOR TRAILOR TO JACK KNIFE AND SLIDE DOWN THE INTERSTATE... LUCKILY, I AND THE FEW OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME SURVIVED. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I STARTED RESEARCHING MYSELF. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND IT APPEARS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 12-14 JEEPS WITH THE NEW PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT NO FCA/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY HAS FIGURED IT OUT. IF THOSE WERE THE FIRST WITH THE NEW MOTOR, IT STANDS TO REASON IF IT DOESN'T APPEAR THERE IS A FIX, THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE FROM THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO GET POWER, OR WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL. THE THROTTLE IS LOST COMPLETELY AND THE POWER STEERING AS WELL. YOU CAN TRY TO CRANK THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MINUTES. IT WILL THEN START UP AND DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. NO CODES ARE SHOWN AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO WAY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THAT WOULD BE THE BEGINNING ANYWAY. SOME SERIOUS EFFORT NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO THIS, AGAIN, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE BEING ADDRESSED, AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS THE JEEPS FROM 2012 ON GET OLDER AND GET TO THE 60K RANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED OFTEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB CALDWELL JEEP CHRYSLER RAM (1888 MORSE RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43229, (614) 739-8871) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW PUMP WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN ODD CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACTIVATING THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATING SYSTEMS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ODOR WOULD BLOW OUT FROM THE VENTS AND WAS PRESENT EACH TIME THE DEFROSTER WAS USED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON LEWIS JEEP (21145 RT 19, CRANBERRY TWP, PA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE SPEED SLOWS TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, ON ANY STREETS/HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.

P0302 MISFIRE CYLINDER 2. P0300, P0304 & P0306 JEEP/DODGE IS VERY AWARE OF THIS CYLINDER ISSUE AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR SEVERAL MODELS. (JOURNEY, WRANGLER, 200/AVENGER, CHALLENGER, CHARGER, GRAND CARAVAN, DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE). AND THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS PART. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM IS THE SERVICE LIGHT INDICATOR. SO YOU CAR WILL NOT START IF IT MALFUNCTIONS. OF COURSE THEY WANT YOU TO ONLY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO POSSIBLE HELP. AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND IT IS NOW EXIBITING THE SAME ERROR AS BEFORE. THE CLUTCH WILL DEPRESS BUT NOT FULLY DISENGAGE FOR A PRPER AND SAFE SHIFT. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH DOES NOT FULLY DISENGAGE IF THE VEHICLE IA SITTING THE CLUTCH WILL DISENGAGE ON ONE OUT OF THREE PUMPS OF THE CLUTCH.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC WHEN MY ENGINE JUST STALLED. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN MODULE. IN FACT, THE DAY I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER, IT STALLED AGAIN GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. THEN, THE DEALER CALIBRATED THE THROTTLE. I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, CALL THEM AND THEY WILL HAVE IT TOWED. THIS IS WHAT I DID. IT WAS AT THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY STATED IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY ARE KEEPING IT THERE AND WILL BE DRIVING IT WITH HOPES OF DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE THE SHOULDER AND NOT GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

FUEL LEAKING WHEN TANK IS ABOVE THREE QUARTERS FULL.FUEL MODULE HAD MANY CRACKS WHERE THE FUEL IS LEAKING FROM.

2013 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERNS TO DEFECTS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES, REAR BRAKES AND HAND BRAKE SYSTEM. *AS *JS

ESC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THAT, THE BRAKES STARTED ON THEIR OWN AND I COULDN'T STEER. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE CLOCK SPRING. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND PROBLEM TO THE 2007-2010 JEEPS, THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE 2013 IN THE RECALL AND IT WAS OVER $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX.
