2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

DRIVING AT 45 MPH TODAY ON ROUTE 6 IN SWANSEA MA AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY JEEP STARTS SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T CONTROL IT. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE MORE I DID THE MORE THE FRONT END SHOOK BACK AND FORTH FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT. I CHECKED UNDER THE JEEP AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, THE TIRE TREADS ARE NOT WORN. THE INFLATION OF THE TIRES IS FINE. I JUST HIT 33,000, THE TRUCK WAS JUST INTROSPECTED AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT IN SEPTEMBER. DEATH RUMBLE AS I AVE READ IS COMMON BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE PER YOUR DATABASE. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DUE TO THE YEARS IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. RECOMMENDING A RECALL BASED ON THE 1000S OF REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE A CHANGE TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING BOX FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 11/06/2017*JS

I OWN A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I TAKE MY JEEP OFF-ROAD EVERY WEEKEND. LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, NV, I CAN KEEP THE TOP OFF 10 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. LIVING IN THE DESERT, IT'S ALSO VERY DUSTY HERE. IN MAY OF 2016, I WAS ON AN OFF-ROADING TRIP, WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING. THEY QUOTED ME $700.00 TO FIX IT...I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY, SO I PAID THEM THE $150.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... TWO DAYS LATER, THE FIRST RECALL FOR CLOCKSPRING CAME OUT. I CALLED THE DEALER BACK, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN #, AND SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THEN SEVERAL MORE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT LISTED. I DID RESEARCH ON CLOCKSPRINGS, AND FOUND OUT THE REASON THEY GO OUT IS DUE TO DUST, FREQUENT OFF-ROAD, AND REMOVING THE TOP. ALL OF WHICH DESCRIBES MY JEEP. IN ADDITION TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING, THE CLOCKSPRING EFFECTS THE HORN, AS WELL AS OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL EMAILS TO JEEP, CHRYSLER, AND MOPAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL JEEP FORUMS SITES, ASKING FOR HELP. IF THE RECALL COVERS ONLY SOME 2013 MODELS, BUT MY MODEL MATCHES THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE RECALL ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THE WIPERS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO INPUT. DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM WHICH CONTROLS MANY FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I'M CONCERNED THIS MALFUNCTION IS POINTING TO A LARGER UNDERLYING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE FRONT AXLE RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ON MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED (LHD), THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND CHIMES EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DASHBOARD CHIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS INDICATES THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS A FAULTY "CLOCKSPRING". THIS RAISES CONCERNS THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR WILL DEPLOY PREMATURELY. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS PART UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THE CURRENT RECALL IS FOR 2007 AND UP RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS ONLY EVEN THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME PART NUMBER. I HAD A 2007 WRANGLER (LHD) YEARS AGO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE CLOCKSPRING. THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON MY PREVIOUS 2007 WRANGLER FOR THE SAME PART NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IF THE SAME PART NUMBER IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST $520 WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD PAY IF OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING THIS JOB COMPLETED FOR FREE. IF MY SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN, PLEASE CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS, AND MOVE TO INCLUDE ALL JEEP WRANGLER MODELS WITH CLOCKSPRING PART NUMBER 68339336AA.

HEADLIGHT HARNESSES GO BAD. LIGHTS FLICKER, DON'T TURN ON WITHOUT MESSING WITH HARNESSES OR TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO MINUTES TO TURN ON OR CHANGE TO HIGH BEAMS. THUS IS WHILE STATIONARY OR WHILE IN MOTION. HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD ALSO AFFECT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING OR TURNING OFF OR ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT DISPLAYED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT CHIME. FAILURE OCCURRED ON 7/15/2016 AT ABOUT 37400 MILES.

VEHICLE IS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED TO WORK FOR THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTENTLY.
