2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAD 72,000 HIGHWAY MILES, NEVER TOWED OR BEAT ON JEEP. WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED VIOLENTLY TO RIGHT AND LEFT MULTIPLE TIMES, ALMOST FLIPPED OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO BELLE TIRE AND FOUND RIGHT REAR AXEL WENT OUT, AFFECTED CALIPERS AND BRAKES ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OUT OF POWERTRAIN, CALLED THEY WONT REIMBURSE SINCE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AT JEEP DEALER. THE CAR ABS/TRACKTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT ON, HARDLY WENT FORWARD DUE TO BRAKES LOCKED UP AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING, ACTUAL RIGHT REAR RIM TOO HOT TO TOUCH, WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE IN GEAR UNLESS GASSED IT. NEVER HAD A WARNING, REAR BRAKES HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED TWO MONTHS EARLIER.

TWICE MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SIMPLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPPED. ALL THE LIGHTS STILL REMAINED ON. I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BY MISTAKE, BUT HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER DONEE THAT BEFORE.. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WENT ON MY WAY. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR ENGINE AGAIN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL TO SHOW THE VEHICLE HAD AN ISSUE. AND THERE WAS NO WAY THIS WAS A MISTAKE ON MY END. THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. IT WAS NOT ON A MAIN ROAD, BUT STILL ON AN ACTIVE ROAD, WHERE IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES 50 CARS MUST HAVE DRIVEN BY. IT WAS DARK OUT AND I AM LUCKY THERE WAS GOOD LIGHTING IN THE AREA. SOMEONE HELPED ME TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. ALL THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO CODES OR ERRORS THAT POPPED UP. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO RECOMMEND. BUT NOW I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR LESS I FIND MYSELF IN AN EVEN MORE PRECARIOUS SITUATION THAN BEFORE. THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE IS UNIDENTIFIABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. FURTHER BELOW THERE IS A LINK TO A WEBSITE, CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE CRANK SHAFT.

WHEN YOU PULL ONTO THE ROAD IT STARTS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND WHEN YOU TRY TO HIT THE GAS IT STILL HITS THE GAS THEN THE ABS COMES ON THAN THE ANTI SLIP COMES ON AND THAN THE OTHER ONE COMES ON LIKE YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE HILL COMES ON. IT KEEPS UP HITTING MY BRAKES THAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT LETS UP OFF MY BRAKES BUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON. UNABLE TO TURN OFF. EVERYTHING IS POINTING TO THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL. BUT MY JEEP HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY LETTER OR NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL THAT IS CURRENTLY OUT. PLEASE ADD MY VIN TO THE RECALL LIST SO I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ASAP

NUMEROUS EVENTS OF SUDDEN STALLING OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED IN DRIVE, AT LOW SPEED IN DRIVE AND REVERSE; CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION INVOLVING NEAR-MISS REAR END COLLISIONS. CAN TAKE UP TO 15 MINUTES TO RESTART ENGINE. ENGINE SOMETIMES APPEARS TO RESTART WITH A TICKING SOUND, HAS NO POWER AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAN'T BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. OTHER TIMES, ENGINE STARTS AND TRANSMISSION CAN BE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, BUT GEARS DO NOT ENGAGE. NUMEROUS EVENTS, AS COMMON AS STALLING EVENTS, INVOLVING SUDDEN AND SOMETIMES VIOLENT SHOCKS TO THE DRIVETRAIN, WHICH HAPPEN AT ALL SPEEDS, USUALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS A TIPM ISSUE, WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH SPEED REAR END COLLISIONS BY FOLLOWING VEHICLES, THAT CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA HAVE NOT TAKEN ADEQUATE ACTION TO REMEDY EXCEPT ON LIMITED AFFECTED VEHICLE TYPES. SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION EXISTS ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE, INCLUDING INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION SUBMITTED TO CHRYSLER AND NHTSA. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, STARTED TO EXHIBIT THIS SERIES OF PROBLEMS AT THE BEGINNING OF 2018 AFTER 60,000+ MILES, AND HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE ARE NO RECORDED ERROR CODES ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER, SUPPOSEDLY, WHICH WAS THE LATEST UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM? PRIOR TO THAT WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE TRANSMISSION, SUPPOSEDLY, WHICH ALSO DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM? PRIOR TO THE CURRENT SYMPTOMS, TWO UNEXPLAINED DEAD BATTERY EVENTS OCCURRED. NOW, READILY FOUND INFORMATION SHOWS A LINK WITH TIPM AND FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURES THAT ALLOW THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN AND DRAIN THE BATTERY AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. HOW MANY MORE REPORTS TO NHTSA WILL IT TAKE TO RESPONSIBLY ADDRESS THIS VERY SERIOUS POTENTIAL REAR COLLISION SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE TIPM?

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE, CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON, VEHICLE LOSES POWER, DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. CRUISE CONTROL STOPS WORKING. HAVE TO ALMOST FLOOR GAS PEDAL TO KEEP POWER GOING TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE THEN RANDOMLY HAS SMALL BURST OF ACCELERATION ON ITS OWN. OCCURED WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-10. OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING. ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT BETWEEN MYSELF AND A SEMI, WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE.

FRONT BRAKES ARE STICKING. AFTER I STOP AND PROCEED TO GO THE BRAKES DON'T RELEASE COMPLETELY. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING AND MY BRAKE PAD WERE BURNING.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY LEFT TO RIGHT, AND YOU ARE FORCED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IN CHECKING THE INTERNET, AND SPEAKING TO A TECHNICIAN, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM UNCLEAR HOW SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THIS CAN BECOME "ACCEPTABLE" IN TERMS OF JEEP PERFORMANCE. WHILE I PUT AN INCIDENT DATE OF 3/16 ON THE FORM, THIS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

I BOUGHT THIS 2013 JEEP NOT EVEN TWO YEARS AGO AND I'VE SANK OVER 8,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR INTO IT. THEIR SHOULD BE A TON OF RECALLS ON THESE JEEPS AROUND THE SAME YEAR. I'M A MAIL CARRIER AND MY FIRST ROUTE WAS ALL PAVED ROADS. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DELIVERING THE MAIL. THESE JEEPS ARE JUNK AND JEEP WON'T TAKE INITIATIVE FOR IT. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAY ON. EVERY TIME IT'S BEEN FIXED IT'S BEEN CAM SHAFTS, ROCKER ARMS, CAM SHAFT SENSORS, STEERING SENSOR, CLOCK SPRING, AND WIRING HARNESS. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED THAT MANY FINES AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THESE JEEPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE BEING MADE FOR POSTAL VEHICLES. EVERY CARRIER OR PERSON I KNOW WITH ONE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. WHEN THOSE LIGHTS COME ON THE JEEP LITERALLY LOSES ALL POWER, IT STILL RUNS BUT TICKS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. THE VEHICLE DOES IT WHILE SITTING AND DRIVING. IT'S GOT A CONSTANT TICK TOO. IT'S BEEN TO SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND I GET TOLD THE SAME THING. I PAY 500 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A PIECE OF CRAP. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THEIR ARE LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THE CUSTOMERS WILL WIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS AMERICA, WE WORK OUR BUTTS OFF TO PAY FOR SOMETHING JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, ITS NOT RIGHT.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY DOING 45 MPH. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 SO I PROCEEDED TO PASS WHEN IT CLEARED ONLY TO HAVE THE GAS PEDAL STICK. I REACHED SPEEDS OVER 90 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE EDGE OF MY SHOE UNDER THE PEDAL TO GET IT UNSTUCK. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF THE ONE I PASSED. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME MY LIFE AND POSSIBLY OTHERS AS WELL.
