THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND YET STILL NOT RECALLED THE TIPM JUST FAILED IN THE JEEP (SECOND ONE IN A MONTH) THIS TIME IT DID IT WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP WENT ALL APE [XXX]. ALARMS GOING OFF, TRYING TO RESTART, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T WORK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH AND DIE. HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CONTINUED WHEN I GOT ON TO THE CITY STREETS THE DEALER MECH SAID IT PROBABLY WENT BAD AGAIN(IN LESS THAN A MONTH) I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES(OTHER SUVS FROM SAME COMPANY HAVE RECALL ON THE PART, JUST NOT THE WRANGLER) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START. WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, TRYING TO GET IT IN A POSITION FOR THE WRECKER, MY WIFE TRIED TO START IT AND IT RESTARTED. WE DROVE IT HOME AND HAD A WRECKER COME GET IT BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT 20 MINUTES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FELT LIKE IS WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. I PICKED IT UP AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE AND PULLED OVER. TRIED TO RESTART IT AND AFTER WAITING 10 TO 15 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AGAIN. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW WITH THEM TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE TURNING TO PARK THE ENGINE THROTTLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED & JEEP JUMPED THE CURB, CRASHED THRU A FENCE & ENDED UP IN THE OCEAN. WE WERE RESCUED BY DANA POINT HARBOR PATROL.

THE HEAT SHIELD BAFFLE ABOVE THE MUFFLER BECOMES COMPLETELY UNATTACHED BECAUSE BOTH THE NUTS HOLDING IT IN PLACE AND BAFFLE ITSELF CORRODE AWAY. THE BAFFLE THEN DROPS ON TO THE MUFFLER AND RATTLES. THE BAFFLE IS MADE OF VERY THIN METAL. THIS JEEP IS A 2012 WITH ONLY 30000 MILES.

THE VEHICLE POWER ABRUPTLY DROPS WHILE DRIVING LOSING ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO 500 RPMS. IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A SIGNAL OR TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS THE POWER DROP WILL SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND VERY UNSAFE

AFTER A 30 MILE TRIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE OF MY JEEP WRANGLER WAS OVERHEATED, CONFIRMED BY A DISTINCT BURNING SMELL, AN EXTREMELY HOT LEFT FRONT WHEEL, AND A PULLING SENSATION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS WERE "BAD", AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 69,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER.
