MY NEW TO ME, BUT STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2DR, CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN 250KMS FROM THE JEEP DEALER TO ME, THEN PARKED UNTIL THE EVENING. I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE FOR ABOUT 40KM WITHOUT INCIDENT, PARKED, AND HAD DINNER WITH A FRIEND. AFTER DINNER, I USED THE REMOTE START TO TEST IT, UNLOCKED IT, AND GOT IN AND DROVE OFF. I STOPPED AT A STORE A MINUTE UP THE ROAD, LEFT IT IDLING, AND CAME OUT TO FIND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I PROCEEDED TOWARDS HOME, BUT TWO MINUTES LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, FOLLOWED BY A VERY LOUD BANG, THEN THEN THE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. I WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 10KM/HR IN A NEIGHBOUTHOOD HAVING JUST TURNED FROM A STOP. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, MY PASSENGER AND I JUMPED OUT, CALLED 911, AND WATCHED AS A FIRE COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE PASSENGER SIDE, WITH SOMETHING DRIPPING AND BURNING AS WELL, CONSUMED THE FRONT OF THE JEEP. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP CANADA BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE RESPONSES. INSURANCE DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I'D OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8 HOURS. IT HAD 50,000KMS ON THE ODOMETER, AND ONE OUTSTANDING RECALL (14V-631) THAT WASN'T DONE PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME.

WHEN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS BEING PERFORMED AT THE DEALER THE TRANSMISSION CASE BROKE AROUND A PORTION OF THE CASE WHERE ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN BOLTED ON. ONE OF THE MECHANICS COMMENTED THAT THIS PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE APPEARED THIN. THE TRANSMISSION CASE WAS SENT BACK TO THE FACTORY BY THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE OF THE METAL OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THIS BEING A "TRAIL RATED" VEHICLE AND BEING INTENDED FOR EXPOSURE TO OFF ROAD CONDITIONS AND THIS PART FAILURE BEING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS AND, OF COURSE, IF IT WERE TO FAIL IN REGULAR DRIVING. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE COULD LOOSE POWER AND THUS LOOSE CONTROL AND UNDER OFF ROAD CONDITIONS COULD CREATE A VERY PRECARIOUS AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR CYLINDER MISFIRES DUE TO COIL ISSUES. SATURDAY 10/29/2016 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING THE CAR WAS SHAKING SO BAD I PULLED OVER INSTANTLY. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE SO I COULD CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK, THE CAR OVER HEATED BECAUSE OF THE COIL MISFIRE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MORE THAN JUST ME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW RELATED TO THIS ISSUE.

BOUGHT IT WITH 36,800 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL/DIE AFTER START AND ENGAGING DRIVE OR REVERSE. ALSO CAN DO IT COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT. HAS HAPPENED 20 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. HAPPENED ONCE ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ONCE YOU RESTART THE TRANSMISSION TAKES UP TO 10 SECONDS TO SHIFT IN THE SELECTED GEAR. ALSO, WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE ON ONE OCCASION, HAD TO STOP TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET TO WORK. A/C BLOWER TURNS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. BLUE TOOTH HAS STOPPED WORKING WITH PHONE. I CANNOT HEAR THE PEOPLE ANYMORE THROUGH THE STEREO.

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING MY JEEP RUBICON OFF ROAD IN 4WD HIGH AND WAS HEADING DOWN A STEEP SLOP AND WHILE SHIFTING MY 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM 3RD TO 2ND THE GEAR SHIFT ARM PULLED OF ITS MOUNT. DUE TO THE SHIFT ARM ASSEMBLY COMING OFF, I MISSED 2ND GEAR AND ENDED UP STUCK IN NEUTRAL. BEFORE I REALIZED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 20 YARDS FREEWHEELING. DUE TO THE SPEED INCREASE I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES WHICH THEN CAUSED THE JEEP TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND RIDE THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPE WHERE I INVESTIGATED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN HAD TO MAKE TEMPORARY REPAIRS AS I WAS STUCK IN A RAVINE WITH NO EASY WAY OUT. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY REINSTALLED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE RAVINE AND BACK TO CAMP TO IMPROVE THE TEMP REPAIR. I DID NOT DRIVE THE JEEP AGAIN THAT WEEKEND UNTIL I WAS READY TO HEAD HOME. I DROVE IT THE 280 MILES HOME WITH THE TEMPORARY REPAIR IN PLACE. *TR

JEEP RANDOMLY STALLS AND ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. JEEP HAS REPLACED O2 SENSOR, PCM AND TIPM. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE ENGINE WILL QUIT WORKING. PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 45000 MILES AND IS STILL OCCURRING

AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE (CLOCK SPRING DUST ISSUE) 2013 JEEP WRANGLER JKU LEFT-HAND DRIVE, EXPERIENCING DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SIGNAL FAILURE. A RECALL FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS (RECALL #16V288000) APPLIES ONLY TO RIGHT-HAND VEHICLES ONLY. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS VERY JERKY AT TIMES FOR NO REAL REASON. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND USUALLY SEEM TIED TO TURN ON THE TURN SIGNALS WHICH HAPPEN TO BE ON THE OTHER CONTROL KNOB. LIGHTS WILL DIM ON NAV/RADIO WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON. I WOULD SAY THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUE THAT MUST BE CAUSING THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR
