Engine started chugging at about 30,000 miles and engine light illuminated. The engine light continued to go off and on until about 36,000 miles, at which point it stayed on. Brought to dealership and and they did a leak down test on the left side cylinder. It was found that cylinder 2 had a 65% compression loss. This engine is a Pentastar 3.6l v6 that was part of a recall for 2011-2013 models. Apparently Mopar still installed these engines in later years but are refusing to foot the bill for them. I worked with Customer Support and they flat out refused to help me.

My Jeep only has 60,000 and I already have to replace the oil cooler on it. This causes the radiator fluid to leak and overheated my car. This could cause major damage to my engine and its components. This would also cause the oil to leak into my coolant reservoir. It’s a major defect by Jeep and needs modifications.

When it first started, I would have to be going at minimum 55-60 mph. But it got so bad to the point that I would be going 15-20 mph and out of nowhere my vehicle would start violently shaking and my steering wheel would jerk side to side. The ONLY way to get it to stop would be to completely let off the pedals and let it come to a complete stop by itself. Hitting the brakes could cause it to flip. Having to come to a stop, regardless of the location could cause a serious accident or pile up. Trying to control the steering wheel when this is occurring could cause an accident as well. This is not something that happens here and there. This incident is so frequent that there are websites that try to warn and help others bc it happens so after. Its cost me $4000 trying to fix it. Please look into this and help us resolve this issue before it costs someone their dad or mom or brother or sister, or someone their child or grandchild. Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated.

The windshield wipers just stopped working. They worked two days before. Turned the car on, windshield wipers came up even though they were not turned on, stuck in the up position and stopped. Replaced motor & switch, checked the fuse and wiring, still not working. TIPM in it is bad and needs to be repaired or replaced. This is a known problem in the wranglers from 2008-2017 and causes other safety hazards. They have replaced them in other Chrysler vehicles, but not the wranglers. If this would have happened during a rainstorm or in other situations, this could cause someone to wreck.

The Jeep oil cooler will leak from factory. It will cause the engine to cease working causing the vehicle to stop. The dealer said this would happen. There were no warning signs, just the smell of burning oil.
