2013 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED, WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SEALS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.

THE AFFECTED PARTS IN MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS THE TRANSMISSION (MILEAGE 27,200). THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR (I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING OR IF I AM ON FLAT AND HILLY ROADS. I WILL HAVE TO PUNCH THE GAS AND ACCELERATE TO 60-65 MPH BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFTS. IT SCARES ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ONLY DRIVING 30-40 MPH. THE RPM'S WILL BE UP TO 5000 AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT GEARS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED FOR THE PROBLEM (APRIL 3, 2014) THE MECHANIC DID HAVE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THEY FOUND A VACUUM HOSE DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR-INLET ELBOW. ONCE THEY FIXED THAT IT SEEMED LIKE THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED BRIEFLY(3 WEEKS) THEN RIGHT BACK TO GEARS NOT SHIFTING. I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 OTHER TIMES NOW AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OF COURSE!!! I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD DO NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MECHANIC SAYING HE CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, AT CRUISING SPEED OF 45 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING RANDOM EMERGENCY ICONS. THIS FLASHING OF THE VEHICLES CLUSTER ALONG WITH SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGE MOVING ERRATICALLY CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT STOPPED AND ONLY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT REMAINED ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE TRACTION LIGHT TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT IN WHICH THE LIGHTS FLASH CONTINUOUSLY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, PRIOR INCIDENTS HAD ONLY FLASHED THE CLUSTER LIGHTS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN THEY WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THEY HAVE ONLY RECEIVED REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE JEEP CHEROKEE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE JEEP WRANGLER NEW FROM DAVID STANLEY JEEP,IN MIDWEST CITY OKLAHOMA. THE VEHICLE HAD AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. WHILE TAKING THE INITIAL TEST DRIVE I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THE SPEEDOMETER HAD BEEN ADJUSTED FOR THE OVERSIZED TIRES. HE ASSURED ME THAT IT HAD BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER SELL ANYTHING THAT WASN'T RIGHT. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS PULLED OVER FOR GOING 30 IN A 25 ZONE. I HAD SEEN THE POLICE OFFICER PRIOR TO BEING PULLED OVER SO I CHECKED MY SPEED AND I KNEW I WAS GOING THE CORRECT SPEED. SINCE THAT TIME I MAKE IT A HABIT TO DRIVE BY THE MOBILE SPEED RADARS THAT ARE PLACED AROUND TOWN AND EVERY TIME MY SPEEDOMETER IS 5MPH OFF. THIS IS AT A LOW SPEED SO IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AT A HIGHER SPEED. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER ATTENTION AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. I THEN SENT A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO HELP AS WELL. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAD JUST LEFT A LOCAL BUSINESS MID-DAY ON A WARM DRY SUMMER DAY. WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY AND TRAVELING SLOWLY AT APPROX 20 MPH. APPLIED BRAKE AS WE ROLLED UP TO A STOP SIGN. ENGINE STARTED TO INCREASE RPM ON ITS OWN REQUIRING EVERMORE INCREASING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO COME TO A STOP. STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGINE RPM REACHED 2500. I PUT THE GEAR SELECT INTO NEUTRAL. THE BRAKES GRABBED, THE ENGINE RPM SHOT UP AND RETURNED TO STANDARD IDLE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CAR BEHAVED NORMAL AFTER THAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX 6 TIMES OVER PAST YEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. FLOOR MATS SECURE AND LOCKED DOWN. I DRIVE RIGHT FOOT ONLY AND BRAKE CLEANLY AND SQUARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEED, WHEN ENGINE IS WARM, AND EVEN SQUEALED THE TIRES ( BURNED RUBBER ) ONCE. MUST SLAM INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. *TR

SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE. I CALLED AS SOON AS I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN A MONTH OR SO BECAUSE THE ITEM(S) WERE BACK ORDERED! I AM CALLING APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MONTHS LATER. THE PART(S) IS NATIONALLY BACK ORDERED! I CALLED TODAY, 8/14/2014 AND IT IS STILL BACK ORDERED!!!! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE RISK OF CRASHING?! *TR
