2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY JEEP WAS PARKED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR ABOUT 13 HOURS AND A ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AT AROUND 3AM. IT BURNED HALF THE VEHICLE BEFORE BEING PUT OUT AND TOTALED OUT MY JEEP. IT ALSO DAMAGED THE ENTIRE BACK END OF THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULED THIS WAS A ELECTRICAL FIRE AND NOT ARSON. DAYS BEFORE I NOTICED THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS READING AT 119 DEGREES OUT SIDE WHEN THE TEMP WAS ACTUALLY 99 DEGREES. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT I FOUND IT VERY ODD. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS SOME INVOLVING WORST PROPERTY DAMAGE AND EVEN CASES WITH FATALITIES. I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND GET THESE DAGEROUS VEHICLES OFF THE STREETS ASAP

JEEP RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, NORMALLY LOW SPEED IT WILL CUT BACK ON QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 5-10 MIN FOR A HIGH SPEED CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT THROW ANY CODES AND DEALER CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

SINCE THE SPRING OF 2016, MY JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER IGNITION, AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 20-25 TIMES OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFLASHED THE CONTROL MODULES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TENDENCY TO STALL AT STOP LIGHTS. WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT AND I HAD MY 5 YEARS OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE (STALLING IN REVERSE, AND WHILE IDLING). THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT AWAY, BUT OCCASIONALLY POWER ISN'T AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY (2-3 SECONDS DELAY). JEEP WASN'T AWARE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I CALLED... AND THIS MORNING I LEARNED ABOUT OTHER FCA VEHICLES BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE THEY ARE STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

I HAVE 24,000 MILES AND NOTICED GRINDING COMING FROM MY PASSENGER REAR WHEEL. I WENT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CALIPER IS PARTIALLY FROZE AND NEEDED A NEW ONE. IT ALSO RUINED MY BRAKE AND ROTOR ON THAT SIDE. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ONE SIDE BUT TO MAKE BOTH MATCH. DUE TO A FAULTY CALIPER I AM OUT $500. THE AUTO MECHANIC SAID HE HAS ODDLY SEEN THIS ON RELATIVELY NEW JEEP WRANGLERS TOO FREQUENT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT FROM JEEP FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING OFTEN. I'M NOT TOO SURE ON HOW THE RECALL PROCESS WORKS... BUT I WOULDN'T MIND TRYING TO RECOVER SOME/ALL OF MY COSTS DUE TO FAULTY OEM EQUIPMENT.

MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED HAVING SENSOR PROBLEMS WITHIN A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW!! NOW AFTER THREE YEARS AND MANY SENSORS BEING REPLACED ALONG WITH SENSOR WIRING IT'S NOT DRIVEABLE AND DEALERSHIP MECHANICS CAN NOT FIX IT OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT GOOD, IT HAS TROUBLE CRANKING, AND CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!!! IN THE LAST MONTH I'VE HAD 4 SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE, REPLACED THE ABS MODULE, REPLACED CAM SHAFT SENSOR, AND WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, BUT AFTER I PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP I DRIVE IT A FEW MILES AND LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND IT STARTS RUNNING HORRIBLE AGAIN!! I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE SO SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!! CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CRAPPY JEEPS THEY ARE MAKING, AND MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

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, WHICH USE THE SAME PART. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

THE RADIATOR COOLING LINE RUBBED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER, AND THE RUBBING CAUSED A HOLE WHICH EVACUATED THE A/C FLUID. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND DISTANCE THE RADIATOR LINE SO THAT IT WAS NO LONGER TOUCHING THE CONDENSER. THE JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. THE JOB COSTS OVER $700 AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP.

ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE JEEP HAS 42,000 MILES, AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 39,000 MILES. IT HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 MPH AND 65 MPH, ON MODERATELY BUMPY ROADS, HOWEVER, NOT BUMPY ENOUGH TO BE DESCRIBED AS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL. TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 39,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME ROADS UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

WOKE UP APPROX. 0230 TO FIND MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE LAST TIME THE JEEP WAS RUNNING WAS APPROX. 8PM THE NIGHT PRIOR.

TRANSMISSION STALLED ON FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. COASTED OFF OF FREEWAY IN NICK OF TIME. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS DEATH DEFYING EXPERIENCE.
