2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. PAR-K ENTERPRISES (825 S 1ST ST, FULTON, NY 13069, (315) 598-8118) WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I HAVE NOTICES ON THE JEEP FORUMS SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ELECTRIC WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN. MY VEHICLE ALL 4 WINDOW ELECTRONICS DO NOT WORK AND THE DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THAT THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN READING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS AS A COMMON DEFECT HOWEVER ITS PRETTY WIDE SPREAD. THE TPIM IS THE COMPLETE FUSE SYSTEM UNDER THE HOOD WHICH MAKES NO SENSE SINCE IT IS ONLY ONE PORTION OF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THIS PART THROUGH THE DEALER RUNS ABOUT $1000 PLUS INSTALLATION. SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A PLUG AND PLAY ISSUE BUT NEVER THE LESS THE DEALER SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. READ THE FORUMS IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY CONSISTENT ISSUE NO MATTER WHAT MODEL. YET THE DEALER TELLS YOU TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF AND ALSO REMOVE THE BATTER CABLES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THEY ALREADY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT DONT YA THINK?

OIL ADAPTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. NOTICED WHEN I WAS GETTING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE.

HEATER CORE CLOGGED.RADIATOR SLUDGE LEFTOVER FROM CASTING SAND IN CYLINDER HEADS CIRCULATED THRU HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS CAUSE SAND TO SETTLE IN RADIATOR AND CLOG HEATER CORE

OIL FILTER HOUSING, CRACKED RESULTING IN LOSS OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL, ENGINE HAS 82,000 MILES AND OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3000-3500, USING MANF RECOMMENDED OIL AND FILTER. STARTED LEAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND BURNING SMELL, DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED DUE TO OVER TIGHTENING OF OIL FILTER CAP. THIS IS NOT TRUE, HAVE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS USED A TORQUE WRENCH TO THE MANF SPECIFICATIONS PRINTED ON THE OIL FILTER CAP. REVIEWING THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEES TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE PENSTAR ENGINE WHICH CHANGED FROM BOTTOM MOUNT TO TOP MOUNT OIL FILTER. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE REPLACEMENT COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES IT WAS USER ERROR AND REFUSES TO COVER. WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO REVIEW THE NUMBER OF ISSUES OTHER JEEPS HAVE HAD WITH THIS PART BREAKING, AS DEALER WARNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH THE OIL LEAKING.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, CRUISE CONTROL (AS WELL AS ALL OTHER CONTROLS MOUNTED ON THE STEERING WHEEL) ARE INOPERABLE. THIS WAS GRADUAL; I NOTICED CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK FIRST, THEN THE REST OF THE CONTROLS INCLUDING THE AIRBAG STOPPED SHORTLY AFTER. THIS WAS DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING (A COAST-TO-COAST ROAD TRIP).

TURNS OUT THE WCM (WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE) FAILED IN THE IGNITION SO THE KEYS WERE NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE MODULE. THEY REPLACED THE PART (WOULD NOT COVER UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED!!!!) AND REPROGRAMMED BOTH OUR KEYS. $385.00 LATER IT NOW STARTS.
