2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY 2013 WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3.5 MONTHS - THE LATEST WAS TODAY AND YESTERDAY. IT STARTS AGAIN AFTER SITTING ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE OTHERWISE. NO LIGHTS GO OFF, IT JUST DIES AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS AS WELL AS HIGHER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO MUCH SINCE NO DASH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE BOUGHT A CODE READER AND NO CODES ARE THROWN. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DOING 65-70 MPH WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE CAR LITERALLY JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! IN SHORT...CAR WAS MOVING THEN SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON.

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS STALLING AND ONCE I GET IT RESTARTED THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK WHEN SHIFTING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT COMING ON SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE REASON I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT STALLED ON ME 5 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN SITTING STILL AND IDOLING. I LOVE MY JEEP AND HAVE WANTED ONE SINCE I WAS A KID. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FOUND ONLINE WHERE 2017-18 MODELS WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY WRANGLER IS A 2013 SPORT UNLIMITED. I THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER LOOKING INTO EXPANDING THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE OLDER YEARS. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN MY JEEP. PLEASE ADVISE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OF HOW TO FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I SMELLED A VERY STRONG SENT OF FUEL INSIDE THE CAB WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WENT TO THE GYM AND ASK ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT. A PUDDLE OF FUEL BUILT UP UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. ONCE WE OPENED THE HOOD AND TURNED ON THE JEEP FOR A SECOND, IT WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL LINE SPLIT. IT WAS A LONG SPLIT (2-3") ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE FUEL LINE. PART NUMBER 68141849AD.

THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AT 27000 MILES. ONE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE WIRING UNDER THE SEAT AND ANOTHER SAID IT WAS THE SEATBELT. MY MUNICIPAL MECHANIC LOOKED UP RECALL INFORMATION ON THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. ANY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT MADE BEFORE 7/1/2013 HAS A FAULTY SEATBELT. THIS IS CONCERNING AND I AM SCARED TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM ATTACHING THE PRODEMAND REPORT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE LIGHT WENT ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR,

PLEASE REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V524000. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP. AT TIMES IT WOULD DO A QUICK "CHUG". OTHER TIMES IT HAS STALLED. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES, I WOULD BE ABLE TO START THE JEEP. THIS BEGAN LAST NOVEMBER. THE MOST RECENT STALL WAS AUGUST 20, 2018.

ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:20 I WAS DRIVING DOWN I820 SOUTH BOUND AT THE SPEED OF 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR LESS LATER THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND AT AN EXIT WHEN I REGAINED CONTROL AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE EXIT AND GOT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE SERVICE ROAD. IT APPEARS THE TIRE FAILED FROM THE SIDEWALK. SEE ATTACHED PICTURE UP CLOSE TO VIEW TWO SIDEWALL RUPTURES CONSISTANT WITH THE SOUNDS AND TIRE FAILURE. TIRE IS GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA WITH APPROXIMATELY 55% TREADLIFE REMAINING

BOTH TIMES MY PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70-75 MPH AND THE SWAY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LAMP WOULD BOTH ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO POWER DERATE MODE AND YOU COULDN'T ACCELERATE. HOOKED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER TO THE VEHICLE AND FOUND CHRYSLER TROUBLE CODES P0369, P2638, AND C121C. HAD TO DO WITH CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND TRANSMISSION TORQUE REQUEST BEING DENIED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON ONLINE JEEP FORUMS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR. THE DEALERSHIP JUST HAD ME GO AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. HOPING TO FIND OUT IF ANYBODY HAD THIS ISSUE AND ACTUALLY GOT IT FIXED. HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR TWICE. ONE TIME WAS THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 7/28/2018 AND THE SECOND WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/31/2018.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO MORE THAN 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME AROUND ON EVERY LOCATION I AM WHILE SERVING MY MAIL ROUTE...I SPENT OVER 2500 ON SENSORS AND WIRING BUT MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO FLASH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND CHIMES CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND I HAVE WENT TOO 2 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH ARE PULLING DIFFERENT CODES ON THE EXACT SAME DAY.THE CODES WERE RESET I DROVE 25 MILES TO THE NEXT DEALERSHIP WHEN ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I GOT TO THE NEXT DEALERSHIP THAT PULLED CODES AND SAID NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. I EVEN HAD A PERSON CONTACT ME FROM ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS TELLING ME TO COME IN FOR A SERVICE PART THAT I HAD NOT CONFIRMED TO BE ORDERED . MY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY IS OF HIGH CONCERN IF SOMEONE IS DELIBERATELY TRYING TO SABOTAGE MY VEHICLE.

A TICKING NOISE. VALVES TICKING. I WAS TOLD.THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS WITH JEEP.WRANGLERS.
