2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROL ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. IMPERIAL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10 UXBRIDGE RD, MENDON, MA) DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS; HOWEVER, IF THE CONTACT PAID TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND A RECALL GOT ISSUED, THE CONTACT WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR EVEN A ROCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, SOMETHING HAPPENS THE FRONT END IT STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY ITS AS IF YOU HAD A BLOW OUT. NORMALLY AROUND 35 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP OWNERS THEY CALL IT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE." IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. SLOWING DOWN DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS NOT WAY OF PULLING OVER OR ON A ROAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE CITY STREETS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SITUATION, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME , BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING . THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT MADE VIDEO OF IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ON YOU-TUBE OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. ALSO THE ELECTRIC ON THE BLINKERS SEEM TO BE GOING OUT OFTEN ALSO. REPLACING A BULB DOES NOT WORK IT IS THE WHOLE SOCKET OR WIRING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I I RESEARCH THESE ISSUES MANY MANY JEEP OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING

A WELL-KNOWN FAULT SINCE 2013, A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE FAULTY HEATER CORE PART #68004193A WHICH SHEDS CASTING SAND CAUSING COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF RADIATOR & OIL COOLER & ENGINE OPERATION. IN ADDITION, CAUSES CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANICS TO MIS-DIAGNOSE RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL COSTLY TIME & EXPENSE. DAMAGE DONE TO REPLACE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, OIL COOLER AN ADDITONAL $2,382. WHILE STILL DRIVEABLE IN BELOW-FREEZING TEMPERATURES, PASSENGERS SUBJECT TO NO HEAT. *JS

A HAZARD TO EVERY OCCUPANT, HEATING SYSTEM QUITS WORKING DUE TO FAULTY SELF-DESTRUCTING HEATER CORE THAT ALSO DISABLES OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR. ORIGINAL PART NUMBER #68004193A SHEDS ALL CASTING SAND THEN CAUSING CLOGS & TOTAL SHUT DOWNS. CLEARLY KNOWN WELL SINCE 2013 WITH NO WARNING TO ANY OWNERS (REFERENCE THEIR OWN JEEP FORUM). IN ADDITION TO FROZEN PASSENGERS AND COMPLETE SHUT-DOWN @ 'ANYTIME', THE $110 MADE-TO FAIL PART RESULTS IN $2,382 ADDED EXPENSE, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE MIS-DIAGNOSIS EXPENSE(S) BY THEIR OWN CERTIFIED MECHANICS. CRIMINAL

AT ONLY AROUND 20,000 MILES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING I WOULD HEAR A CRUNCH SOUND. ALSO THE CLOTH TOP ON THE JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED VERY TIGHTLY AGAINST THE SIDE ROLL BARS AND ARE WEARING OUT THE CLOTH ON THE POLES WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY END UP WITH A TORN MATERIAL. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC BACK WINDOW AT 17,0000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. CURRENTLY THE JEEP HAS 28,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE FENDER FLARES HAVE STARTED FADED ALREADY TOO.

NO HEAT! CLOGGED HEATER CORE! GRIT AND SLIME IN DIRTY/DISCOLORED OEM COOLANT (10 YR/150K MILE RATED). NEVER TOUCHED OR ADDED TO, UNLESS UNDOCUMENTED BY DEALER. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE THAT MY WIFE/KIDS USE DAILY, AND IT IS ABOUT 10F HERE IN VT RIGHT NOW. VERY COMMON CHRYSLER ISSUE APPARENTLY AND DEALER DOES NOTHING BUT ATTEMPT TO FLUSH MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE! I AM STILL UNDER 5 YR/100K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE WHEN IS COOLING SYSTEM NOT PART OF POWER TRAIN? HEAT WAS REDUCED LAST WINTER, THIS WINTER VIRTUALLY NONE. DANGEROUS TO CONSTANTLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WITH NO DEFROST! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL

MY JEEP STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG IT ALSO STALLS WHEN BACKING UP OR GOING FORWARD IT DOES START BACK UP BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOESN'T START RIGHT AWAY IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINUTES IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THIS IS GETTING TO BE A COMMON THING SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS

IS NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING IT-WAS TOLD MY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT IS READING AS A SHIFT CONTROL MODULE ISSUE UNDER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING MACHINE- SHOULD BE COVERED BY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY- VEHICLE ONLY HAS 69K MILES- CALLING CHRYSLER JEEP

THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ONE OCCASION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT CRANKED AND CRANKED BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. TODAY WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE, I COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER...AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND MY BATTERY ALMOST DYING I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION TO BATTERY AND IT FIRED UP AFTER RECONNECTING. I'M READING THERE ARE 50,000+ VEHICLES WITH A TIPM ISSUE AND BELIEVE THIS IS IMPACTING MY JEEP. IT'S A $1300 FIX THAT I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD OWN.

JUST PURCHASED, HEAT NOT WORKING. HAD HEATER CORE FLUSHED, HEAT WORKED FOR ONE WEEK AND NOW BLOWS VERY HOT ON RIGHT SIDE AND LUKE WARM ON LEFT SIDE. THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE CASTING SAND PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO SHOP TO FLUSH HEATER CORE AGAIN. NOT GOOD.
