2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING 2X AND THEN DOES NOT RESTART EVEN THOUGH IT IS CRANKING OVER. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF SPORADIC ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE. I REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE MAP SENSOR AT THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE AND DROVE 4000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. IT DOES NOT STUTTER LIKE POOR GAS DELIVERY OR COUGH IT JUST QUITS LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

HEATER DOES NOT PRODUCE WARM AIR ON DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE THROUGH FLOOR, VENT, OR DEFROST. DRIVING SPEED DOES NOT AFFECT TEMPERATURE ON DRIVER SIDE. HEAT WILL SOMETIMES GET WARM ON DRIVER SIDE AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO STAR CASE S12307000008. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD, KNOWN ISSUE, THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. IT IS DANGEROUS AS WELL DUE TO ICE BUILD UP ON WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEFROST HEAT ON DRIVER SIDE.

TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAGRECALL.COM TELLS ME I'M AT RISK BUT DOES NOT LIST A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS STALLING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AT IDLE OR LOW SPEEDS BELOW 60 MPH. VEHICLE BUCKS/SLIPS/JERKS AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH+ AS WITNESSED BY DEALER SERVICE MECHANIC. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR OR WILL REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE AND MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RETURNED TO PARK, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. NO DEALER CODES FOUND THEREFORE, UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (MORE THAN A QUART PER 250 MILES) AND IS OVERHEATING WHEN UNDER LOAD ON LONG CLIMBS. OVERHEATING AND/OR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHICH IS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHERE THE ENGINE WILL NOT GO OVER 3000 RPM. WHEN OIL LEVEL DROPS TO ABOUT 3 QUARTS LOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE JEEP GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED VALVE TAPPETS, THE LEFT CAMSHAFT AND THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD UNDER MY CHRYSLER "MAXCARE" LIFETIME WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE IS NOW TELLING ME THE REPAIR MAY NO LONGER BE COVERED BY MY LIFETIME SERVICE CONTRACT (REFERENCE JEEP CUSTOMER CARE CASE NUMBER 32175924). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM OVERHEATING AND/OR OIL LOSS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS INCLUDING THE HORN ARE WORKING.

OUR JEEP STARTED STALLING ON OCCASION ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC. RESTART WAS IMMEDIATE. IT PROGRESSIVELY STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. FOUR MONTHS AGO WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND A SPARK PLUG. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A VALVE BODY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A ROCKER ARM AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS AND STILL IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2017, IT STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALONE WHILE DRIVING IT AND SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. WE HAVE TALKED WITH A MECHANIC THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED OR IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY AND THE ROADS WERE DRY.

MY LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEP UNLIMITED WRANGLER HAS A CLOCK SPRING ISSUE TOO THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED. ALL JEEPS NEED TO BE ON THE RECALL, NOT JUST THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

I HAVE 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. I'M HAVING AN ISSUE THE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME SO FAR. FIRST TIME WAS IN LATE AUGUST, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE HEADING HOME FROM WORK. 2ND TIME WAS ON 9/16/17, AND MOST CURRENT WAS YESTERDAY 9/26/17. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, ONCE IT SHUTS OFF, IT WON'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY, USUALLY YOU HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES. IF YOU TRY TO START IT BEFORE IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH NO OPEN CODES. AT THE POINT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN CALL. HATE TO JUST REPLACE ITEMS IF IT IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAD HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROAD WAYS, ON SUNNY CLEAR DAYS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ALL THREE TIMES. I DO FEEL LUCKY SO FAR OUR KIDS HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE JEEP NOR HAVE WE BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF PUTS YOU IN DANGER FROM ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS.

ESC LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS RESULTS IN CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE MIL (CHECK ENGINE) TO STAY ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS INITIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. I HAVE IGNORED THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER RELOCATING TO A NEW STATE, CALIFORNIA REQUIRES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE OFF IN ORDER TO PASS A SMOG INSPECTION. I'VE REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING. NO CHANGE. I BELIEVE MY JEEP IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-636. I WOULD NOT SAY THAT NHTSA 16V-290 SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, ONLY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ON.
