2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND FACTORY INSTALLED FLOOR MAT LODGED SO THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS WENT UP TO SIX UNTIL I RELIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND UNLODGED RUBBER MAT FROM ACCELERATOR.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR BECOMING CLOGGED I HAVE HAD THEM BOTH FLUSHED BY THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL CLOG CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING IN THE WINTER TIME WITH NO DEFROSTERS OR HEAT TO SAFELY DRIVE TO WORK

STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. PRESS ON GAS DOESN'T MOVE. HAPPENS OUT OF NOW WHERE. VERY SCARY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE. I HAVE DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF WRANGLER. MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT AND DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE. MY ISSUE HERE IS THAT WHEN YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAR AND THE DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY KNOWING THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND THIS BELOW LINK WITH THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/JEEP/WRANGLER/2013/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_DIES_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML

OIL COOLER / FILTER HOUSING LEAK - OIL COLLECTS AT BASE OF COOLER HOUSING. HAPPENED AT 25K MILES AND CONTINUES.

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. WHEN STATIONARY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SHOWING AN AIRBAG ALERT AND ALL CONTROL BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL EXCEPT CRUSE CONTROL HAVE FAILED. WHEN THE LEFT SPOKE OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS ROTATED COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO THE 2 O'CLOCK POSITION THE AIRBAG ALERT TURNS OFF AND ALL BUTTONS WORK BUT ONLY IN THAT POSITION. NO DIFFERENCE WHEN IN MOTION EXCEPT A DING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED PAST A CERTAIN POSITION.

THE IGNITION KEY SECURITY SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO PRETECT THE VEHICULE AGAINTS THEF , MY JEEP HAD BEEN STOLEN 2 DAYS AGO AND I THEN FOUND SIMPLY ON THE WEB THAT THOSE KEY ARE INAFFECTIVE AND NOBODY SEEM TO CARE . HERE IS A LINK AIRED IN A CANADIAN TV STATIONHTTP://WWW.TVANOUVELLES.CA/2016/07/06/DES-PIRATES-INFORMATIQUES-REINVENTENT-LE-VOL-DE-VOITURES MY QUESTION IS WHY MANUFACTURER , INSURANCE COMPANY NEVER ADVISE CONSUMER TO TAKE ALTERNATIVE MESURE TOWARD THIS PRACTICE AND WAY TO AVOID TO BE A VICTIM . THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND I JUST HOPE THAT POSTING THIS WILL PREVENT ANY JEEP OWNER TO GET IN MY POSITION . I FEEL ABANDON BY JEEP AND THE LACK OF INTEREST OF GENERAL PUBLIC IN THOSE CYBER-THEFF THAT WITH ALL THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WILL FIND OUR CAR A LUCRATIVE WAY TO LIVE FROM THEIR CRIME . NEW CAR ARE HACKABLE , THERE IS SO MANY CASE SHOWING THIS GROWING CONCERN BUT IT MADE ME EVEN MORE SCARED WHEN WHAT SEEM TO BE A "EASY" SCAM IS NOT EVEN CONSIDER BY JEEP TO FIXED IT THRUE A PATCH OR JUST WARN CLIENT ABOUT THE NEW RISK . P.S. MY MAIN LANGUAGE IS FRENCH SO PLEASE DONT JUDGE THIS POST JUST BY ORTOGRAPHE THIS IS SERIOUS AND NHTSA CAN CONTACT ME WHEN THEY NEED TO IF THEY NEED ANY MORE INFO .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAL AND EMIT A BURNING ODOR. IN ADDITION, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE BRAKES WOULD EMIT A SQUEAL NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE'S CALIBER, ROUTER, AND REAR BRAKES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 31801254 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

VEHICLE FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES MOVING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE A COUPLE OF TIMES. VEHICLE THEN STARTED STALLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. VEHICLE ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP, BUT SOMETIMES DOES NOT CHANGE INTO DRIVE IMMEDIATELY. RESTARTING/SHIFTING INTO MANUAL MODE WORKS. VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED LOSING POWER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERATING CAUSING IT TO JERK SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE DRIVING. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS AT LOWER GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM STOP.

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FEET, BUT WILL BLOW HOT AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS LEADS TO ISSUES WITH DEFROSTING AND VISIBILITY.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM: ABS SYSTEM LOCKS WHEELS AND RELEASES THEM EVERY TIME I TRY TO MAKE A TURN WHILE IN MOTION.
