The car just shuts off without warning while driving. We’ve had this car for 6 months and had to put in the shop 4 times on different occasions without a resolution. This causes a major safety risk which could lead to a catastrophic accident. This has not been inspected by the manufacturer as of yet.

At around 85k miles the vehicle began developing a loud tick. It appears every vehicle with this motor or similar motor with the same internal Valve Rocker Arms have this problem. This Jeep problem is so bad that the parts are on a 2 month back order and every dealer admits they have a problem. The repair isn't cheap and entails the entire top of the motor to be exposed and virtually rebuilt. For a vehicle with only 85k miles this is a terrible situation that jeep has put their owners in. This is clearly an issue that should be rectified by the manufacturer.

Motor rocker arm failed possibly damaged motor. Engine oil cooler cracked. Leaking oil over my exhaust. Possibly causing fire.

My airbag sensor has been continually toggling on and off for a few months now. I had the car scanned at my service center and the code came up as an issue with my driver seat airbag circuit. In my research on recalls for my year vehicle, there is a recall ~NHTSA Campaign Number 16V28800 ~Components AIR BAGS ~Summary The clock spring assembly may become contaminated with dust and cause the airbag circuit to fail. Although this recall is for right hand drive and my Jeep is left hand drive, it appears it may be the same issue. Please advise as I feel unsafe driving my Jeep and will be taking it next week to service center to have it corrected . Thank you. Awaiting your reply.

ABS system has failed and Jeep dealer said the parts are on back order and has been for over a year. Depending on who your speaking to at Stellantis they are either re-engineering the part or they are no longer manufacturing it. While my Jeep still drives, there is a major safety concern due the ABS and traction control being unavailable. There is a whole thread set up online and this problem is affecting many people.

The ABS brake module failed, and apparently this is a pretty widespread issue with this module, and it's near impossible to get a replacement. The ABS, traction control, and brake light are on, as well as throwing several transmission related check engine codes. The car is undriveable.
May 28, 2025
ABS module has gone bad and Jeep Chrysler dealership has told me that they only have nine parts in the nation to replace it and the engineers are not confident in the replaced part, they won’t know when the part would be available and I was also told that if I continue to drive it I could potentially damage other components of the Jeep Wrangler. I was also told by personal mechanic that I shouldn’t drive it as I don’t not have Anti lock breaks..

While I was attempting to park my jeep across the street from my grandson's school to pick him up at 3:18, as I proceeded to pull in front of the apron so I could backup to a parking spot. In the process of going forward before I got a chance to put the jeep in reverse my brakes failed, hitting a parked car in front of me. I had my jeep towed to Old Center Island Auto Service. The mechanic removed a defective power brake booster and replaced it with a new one.

Oil pressure sensor failed. Fixed that. Check engine light came back on with battery light. New alternator. Check engine returned for oil pressure sensor. Temp gauge is fine.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy.

CLOCKSPRING FAILED CAUSING HORN TO NOT OPERATE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL TO NOT OPERATE. OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE NON SAFETY RELATED TO THIS IS CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO CONTROLS (STEERING WHEEL) AND THE DASH DATA (THE MENU TO SCROLL THROUGH FROM THE DASH FOR DTE, US/METRIC ETC). ALL THESE ARE EFFECTED WHILE VEHICLE IS BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE SPEED SLOWS TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, ON ANY STREETS/HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.
Nov 19, 2018
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY LEFT TO RIGHT, AND YOU ARE FORCED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IN CHECKING THE INTERNET, AND SPEAKING TO A TECHNICIAN, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM UNCLEAR HOW SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THIS CAN BECOME "ACCEPTABLE" IN TERMS OF JEEP PERFORMANCE. WHILE I PUT AN INCIDENT DATE OF 3/16 ON THE FORM, THIS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.
Mar 26, 2018
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
Oct 17, 2016
VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHILE DRIVING - MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" BY LARGE NUMBER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MULTIPLE VIDEOS EXIST ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE STABILIZER BUT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND RECOMMENDS AN ADDITIONAL PART AS WELL STAR CASE #S1602000001. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

The oil cooling housing. There was sludge around it and the lines from below the jeep ruptured. causing oil to leak all over the transmission bell. This caused smoking and over all engine.

MY 2013 WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3.5 MONTHS - THE LATEST WAS TODAY AND YESTERDAY. IT STARTS AGAIN AFTER SITTING ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE OTHERWISE. NO LIGHTS GO OFF, IT JUST DIES AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS AS WELL AS HIGHER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO MUCH SINCE NO DASH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE BOUGHT A CODE READER AND NO CODES ARE THROWN. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DOING 65-70 MPH WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE CAR LITERALLY JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! IN SHORT...CAR WAS MOVING THEN SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON.

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS STALLING AND ONCE I GET IT RESTARTED THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK WHEN SHIFTING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT COMING ON SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE REASON I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT STALLED ON ME 5 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN SITTING STILL AND IDOLING. I LOVE MY JEEP AND HAVE WANTED ONE SINCE I WAS A KID. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FOUND ONLINE WHERE 2017-18 MODELS WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY WRANGLER IS A 2013 SPORT UNLIMITED. I THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER LOOKING INTO EXPANDING THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE OLDER YEARS. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN MY JEEP. PLEASE ADVISE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OF HOW TO FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.
Oct 10, 2018
BOTH TIMES MY PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70-75 MPH AND THE SWAY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LAMP WOULD BOTH ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO POWER DERATE MODE AND YOU COULDN'T ACCELERATE. HOOKED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER TO THE VEHICLE AND FOUND CHRYSLER TROUBLE CODES P0369, P2638, AND C121C. HAD TO DO WITH CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND TRANSMISSION TORQUE REQUEST BEING DENIED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON ONLINE JEEP FORUMS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR. THE DEALERSHIP JUST HAD ME GO AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. HOPING TO FIND OUT IF ANYBODY HAD THIS ISSUE AND ACTUALLY GOT IT FIXED. HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR TWICE. ONE TIME WAS THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 7/28/2018 AND THE SECOND WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/31/2018.

Mopar Performance 68018109AA A/C and Heater Actuator has failed 3 times. I've replaced the original and twice since. This part is a safety issue because it directed the heat to defrost/de-ice the Windshield and provide heat to the occupants. There is plenty of evidence on YouTube of Jeep owners replacing this part for years now and yet there has not been a Recall regarding this part. The last replacement part was in January 2020 and failed again which I just replaced. Three times since 2013 when I purchased the 10th Anniversary Jeep Rubicon new which is why I've had enough of MOPAR not caring about its customers

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON LEWIS ALFA ROMEO / RON LEWIS PRE-OWNED CRANBERRY (LOCATED AT 20839 ROUTE 19, CRANBERRY TWP, PA 16066, (724) 776-7400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.
Feb 20, 2019
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.

WHILE DRIVING ON A COLD NIGHT WITH NO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, MY WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED. I HAD THE DEFROSTER ON. I'VE READ ABOUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS. IT'S AN ISSUE AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
Feb 18, 2020
DRIVER'S SIDE OF WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT DEFROST. AFTER INTERNET REVIEW, I BELIEVE MY HEATER CORE IS PARTIALLY CLOGGED WITH A SLUDGE LIKE SUBSTANCE CIRCULATING IN THE ANTI FREEZE COOLANT AND THIS ONLY ALLOWS HOT AIR TO CIRCULATE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THE SLUDGE LIKE SUBSTANCE CLOGGING THE HEATER CORE IS BELIEVED BY SOME TO BE CAUSED BY MANUFACTURING REMNANTS STUCK IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. THE ISSUE ONLY BECAME APPARENT TO ME ON A LONGER THAN NORMAL COMMUTE IN COLD WEATHER. I WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT FOLLOWING A SNOWSTORM AND THE ROADS WERE POORLY PLOWED. I ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE TO THIS CAR'S ENGINE OR HAD ANY DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ANTI FREEZE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED SINCE MANUFACTURE AND NOT YET REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED LAST NIGHT. FEBRUARY 5, 2019, BUT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE PRIOR TO LAST NIGHT, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT AS SEVERE. I WILL ATTEMPT TO CONTACT FCA REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The fuel supply line that attaches to the fuel rail at the engine sprung a leak at the seam were the plastic tube is sealed together. This is a high pressure line. This resulted in fuel being sprayed directly on the hot cylinder head creating a potential fire hazard.
May 01, 2024
After having my car checked multiple times because the check engine light wouldn't go off, finally came to find that the Fuel Tank was cracked, my car was leaking gas, and the wires by the tank were all corroded. The car was not in an accident.

Driving on the highway at 75 mph, red lightning bolt light came on dash. Called dealer and they were no help so I unhooked the battery and it cleared. It did this a total of 4 times before I got home. Seems to be a known issue with throttle control system
Oct 07, 2022
The high pressure fuel line that is on top of the engine connected to the fuel rail failed. Gas was spraying on the hot engine. This situation could have caused a fire or explosion. I check and jeep recalled 2014 to 2020 for replacement of this fuel line, which is the same line on my jeep. I had to pay a dealer $757 to fix an issue jeep should be responsible.
Oct 03, 2022
Due to a strong odor of gasoline emanating from a recently filled fuel tank, the vehicle was towed (due to extreme fire risk) to an independent service center. A subsequent inspection determined a fuel leak in the upper part of the tank assembly and a cracked flange in the fuel pump assembly, which necessitated the replacement of the fuel tank and fuel pump assemblies. The vehicle components are no longer available for inspection and the vehicle was not inspected by anyone other than the owner of the independent service center. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem other than the pungent smell of gasoline. The smell of fuel first occurred after filling the gas tank on/around 08/13/2021.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

My vehicle suddenly stops running as I'm driving down the road. This is an reoccurring problem that happens every few days. This does not issue a code nor does the check engine light come on. There is no rhyme or reason to the issue. Electrical does not go out only the ability to push the gas pedal. I have to pull over and turn off the jeep. It comes back on and runs after waiting 10 minutes. This is a hazard and can cause a wreck. It's an common problem with Jeeps as reported on the forums.
Jun 07, 2022
When driving down the road, the Jeep stops running. This is very dangerous and happens while driving at 55 mph. I’ve taken it to a mechanic and it will not throw a code. We’ve replaced the fuel pump, ignition, battery and alternator. Reading the forums and other online resources shows this is a common problem with multiple solutions. Jeep should recall any parts identified with this issue and be able to help correct this known issue. This is very unsafe. I do not have the money to spend and have no reliable transportation for employment. This has been such a hardship during such trying economic times.

MY JEEP SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS AND GOING UP HILLS WITH OTHER VEHICLES PRESENT, NO CODES SHOW UP, DASH LIGHTS TURN RED WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF, MY JEEP MAKES FUNNY NOISES WHEN TURNED OFF, TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 3 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY'VE TIRED EVERYTHING AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S GOING BACK IN AGAIN BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF ON ME GOING UP A HILL. THIS JEEP IS NOW BECOMING DANGEROUS TO MYSELF. YET THE JEEP STILL ISN'T GIVING CODES. I HAD TO GO BUY A CAR SCAN DEVICE PLUG IT IN AND RECORD DATA OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE JEEP SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE. DO I HAVE TO GO OFF A CLIFF OR GET INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND OR FIXED. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. I BOUGHT IT ON FEBRUARY 21,2020 AND IT STARTED ACTING UP ON FEBRUARY 28,2020 AND STILL IS ON MAY 16, 2020 AND IT IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE. I'M SPENDING MONEY TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT WAS A LIE. I NEED HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T MAKE SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS SAFELY OPERATIONAL BEFORE SELLING IT. IT OVER HEATED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHECK FLUID. MY HEATED SEATS WERE BURNT OUT. MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED SOMETHING BEHIND MY DASH BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK IT MADE IT WORSE. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY JEEP SHUTS UP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHICH PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION BECAUSE I GET STUCK EITHER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SITTING SIDEWAYS OR ALMOST OFF OF A CLIFF OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NOWHERE TO GO BECAUSE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING THE JEEP DOES IT START BACK UP FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 TO 15 MINUTES.

AS I RESEARCH WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY JEEP IT HAS BEEN A HAPPENING FOR QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE. NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS WHEN DRIVING MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER AT ALL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I INSTANTLY LOSE POWER PLUS MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS TURN ON AND I END UP GOING INTO LIMP MODE. IT MOSTLY HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY AND GOING UP HILLS, BUT HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING EVEN WHEN IT IS IN PARK. MY JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WITH A TRUSTED MECHANIC FOR 3 MONTHS AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE EITHER. ALL OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE TONS OF PEOPLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT SEEMS AS THOUGH NO ONE CAN FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM EITHER... I'M UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO NOW.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT UNLIMITED STARTED "STALLING" INEXPLICABLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE ALL THROTTLE CONTROL, AND YOUR POWER STEERING. WHICH CAN BE CHALLENGING WHEN YOUR IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF A FOUR LANE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH. THIS CAUSED A TRACTOR TRAILOR TO JACK KNIFE AND SLIDE DOWN THE INTERSTATE... LUCKILY, I AND THE FEW OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME SURVIVED. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I STARTED RESEARCHING MYSELF. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND IT APPEARS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 12-14 JEEPS WITH THE NEW PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT NO FCA/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY HAS FIGURED IT OUT. IF THOSE WERE THE FIRST WITH THE NEW MOTOR, IT STANDS TO REASON IF IT DOESN'T APPEAR THERE IS A FIX, THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE FROM THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO GET POWER, OR WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL. THE THROTTLE IS LOST COMPLETELY AND THE POWER STEERING AS WELL. YOU CAN TRY TO CRANK THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MINUTES. IT WILL THEN START UP AND DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. NO CODES ARE SHOWN AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO WAY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THAT WOULD BE THE BEGINNING ANYWAY. SOME SERIOUS EFFORT NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO THIS, AGAIN, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE BEING ADDRESSED, AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS THE JEEPS FROM 2012 ON GET OLDER AND GET TO THE 60K RANGE.

THE HOOD LATCHES DO NOT PREVENT THE HOOD FROM FLUTTERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE HOOD LATCHES MAY FAIL AT ANY MOMENT.
Jul 16, 2019
THE HOOD WOULD FLUTTER AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH OR MORE, NORMALLY ON INTERSTATE DRIVING. SEEMED WORSE WHEN HIGH WINDS (WEATHER) WERE PRESENT. WHEN MY HOOD WAS DAMAGED BY HAIL IN MAY 2018, I CHANGED THE ORIGINAL HOOD LATCHES ALSO TO AN AFTERMARKET PRODUCT THAT NO LONGER ALLOWS THE HOOD TO FLUTTER AT THESE SPEEDS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (01/2014) UNTIL LATCHES WERE CHANGED TO AFTERMARKET PRODUCT (05/2018).

Horn, evic & radio controls on the steering wheel don't work. After waiting 2 months tfor the part, they replaced the evic switch which I was promised controlled the horn & radio too. It didn't fix the horn or any of the other issues. Now the dealer wants to replace the clock spring. There is an existing recall for my model year and years before and after (Safety Recall S40 / NHTSA 16V-288 Airbag Clockspring) but my VIN is not included. Jeep can not explain why I'm not included and said my airbag may or may not work. Any help is appreciated.

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.

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

This vehicle is notorious for a common issue yet that same issue which has not been recalled is the reason my engine blew on the highway and Jeep has failed to notify owners of this issue or give some sort of reimbursement. My Jeep was cruising just fine when my engine suddenly blew, it was well maintained and taken care of. Despite the great care the oil housing unit which many others have complained about cracked leaking all the oil in a matter of minutes. This essential piece failing and releasing all the oil caused my engine to blow. Jeep is notorious for having a plastic oil housing unit with no heat shield since it is inbetween both engine bays. Having the unit where it is while creating the piece out of plastic seems like a text-book way to have catastrophic failure and further profit off complete engine failure. This material design flaw has now cost me nearly $800 come to find out I need a total engine replacement now which will be around $4000. This is completely unacceptable a vehicle was allowed to be put on the road with such a catastrophic design flaw and physically endangered me when this happened. In the attached files you can see the pooling of oil, I also have official reference from a local auto shop and screenshots of multiple online complaints.

fuel supply line going to the engine leaking gas directly onto engine. I started smelling gas and upon inspection found the leak. I googled it and found numerous links with people having the same issue. Definitely poses a safety hazard.

The Fuel Supply Tube part #68141849AD cracked, causing fuel to leak into the engine bay when the car was started. The entire cabin filled with gas fumes so intensely my eyes would water.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 HOUR DRIVE I DO ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND 2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A YELLOW LIGHT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL AND IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO REALIZE IT HAD STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE ONTO A SIDE ROAD. THE POLICE SHOWED UP AND HELPED ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I TRIED TO START IT, APPROXIMATELY 10MINS AFTER STALLING AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I WENT STRAIGHT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, $250.00 AND GOT GOING ON MY WAY HOME - FAT, DUMB AND HAPPY - UNTIL 2 DAYS LATER WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED I WAS ON A BUSY 12 LANE INTERSTATE 95 IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI. AGAIN I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD STALLED, I WAS INCREASING SPEED FROM ABOUT 50MPH TO 60MPH AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 6 LANES AND IMMEDIATELY PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND ROLLED THROUGH TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN KENDALL, FL. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL VEHICLE - THANK GOD. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER THEY CHANGED OUT THE PCM AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME - FIXED (SUPPOSEDLY). 2 WEEKS LATER IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE HWY; WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED FINE, WAS LATER AT THE STORE GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START JUST KEPT TRYING TO CRANK ITSELF, WAITED 5 MINS LATER AND IT STARTED. THAT WEEKEND TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER IN TAMPA (JERRY ULM) THEY SAID IT IS NOT IN MY WARRANTY AND I PAID $400.00 FOR WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS A CHRYSLER "WORK AROUND". 2 DAYS LATER IT WOULD NOT START AND IT TRIED TO CRANK ITSELF. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WENT DIRECTLY TO KENDAL CHRYSLER, WHERE IT IS SITTING TODAY AS I WRITE THIS.

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.

I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT. THE WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TAP THE BREAKS BUT I COULD NOT BECAUSE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. IT FELT LIKE THE SUSPENSION HAD BROKEN AND I WAS GOING TO PULL OVER THERE WERE 2 LANES TO THE RIGHT WITH CARS COMING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND TOOK MY JEEP IN THE NEXT NIGHT. THE CONFIRMED THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE BUT REFER TO IT AS THE STEERING DAMPER ISSUE. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY FILED AN EXPEDITED CLAIM PROCESS BUT DID NOT CALL ME BACK WHEN PROMISED. WHEN I CALLED AGAIN, THEY HAD SOMEONE CALL ME THE NEXT WORKING DAY. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. HE DID NOT OFFER TO DO ANY THING.

DROVE BACK HOME 240 MILES 2 DAYS LATER, 3 HOURS AND 45 MINS INTO 4 HOUR DRIVE, IT STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING. ON SINGLE LANE SECLUDED ROAD OUTSIDE MIAMI. KROME AVE- NO PASSING 2 LANE ROAD. CAR STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING. WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO SIDE OF ROAD, WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED BACK UP. AFTER IT HAD STALLED OUT AND WAS ON SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT SHOWED THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN THE VENTURI SYMBOL. I ESCAPED DEATH AND INJURY AGAIN. I HAVE DECIDED TO GET AN INSURANCE DEATH POLICY ON ME. I THINK MY LUCK IS GOING TO BE RUNNING OUT AFTER THIS BEING THE 6TH TIME STALLING AND 3RD TIME NOT STARTING. WHAT DO I DO NOW?????? I HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN THIS JEEP, WITH BUMPERS A LIFT KIT.... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING. THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES INCLUDING JEEP CHEROKEES THAT WERE RECALLED WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT YET THEY CANT FIX MY VEHICLE.

ESC LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS RESULTS IN CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE MIL (CHECK ENGINE) TO STAY ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS INITIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. I HAVE IGNORED THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER RELOCATING TO A NEW STATE, CALIFORNIA REQUIRES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE OFF IN ORDER TO PASS A SMOG INSPECTION. I'VE REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING. NO CHANGE. I BELIEVE MY JEEP IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-636. I WOULD NOT SAY THAT NHTSA 16V-290 SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, ONLY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ON.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. DEFAULT CODE SHOWS PROBLEM WITH OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. BUT CHECK ENGINE GOES OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS AT 3/4 FUEL TANK, THEN GOES BACK ON WHEN AT 1/4 FUEL. THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR PROBLEM APPEARS COMMON TO THESE VEHICLES. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE NOTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND EXPLANATION IS THAT JEEP KNOWS THERE WERE FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSORS INSTALLED OVER MANY VEHICLE MODELS AND YEARS. THE REPAIR IS ROUGHLY $400 - $500 AS THE HEAD NEEDS TO BE PULLED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, MANY STILL REPORT THE CHECK ENGINE PROBLEM AFTER THE REPAIR IS MADE. UNKNOWN AS TO EXTENT OF DAMAGE THE ENGINE MAY EXPERIENCE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

Michelin Defender Tire with ~90% tread exploded with no indicators or warning. VDOT repairman indicated that it had exploded from the side. Incident happened on the highway 2/24/24 going 60mph. Jeep did not observe any potholes, road debris, or curbs. I do not do off-roading. Tires had 35psi. I drive average 6000 miles a year. Tire: LT 285/70R17 121/118R dot 1b7 bf 005x 2922 load range E. Wheel: PRC 7069/AT L 13+JK 17X9 33X12.50 R17 employee from tirerack.com confirmed tire/wheel are a match. Tire is available for inspection. Will have tire shop take it off the wheel and inquire to see if they can evaluate what happened. Tire has only been inspected by VDOT employee on site of incident. No sign of warnings or dashboard light before incident until after it blew up which produced a low tire pressure indicator. Has not been reproduced or confirmed by dealer or independent service center. Safety was put in risk to driver and other drivers on highway going highway speed. Was able to control car to a stop. Jeeps are at higher risk of rolling over. Luckily nobody was hurt and no damage to vehicle other than the Tire.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. IT FELT LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED IN AND THE JEEP BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE BREAK HOWEVER THE SPEED WAS INCREASING. I PRESSED DOWN HARDER ON THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED SOME BUT AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BREAK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. A RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PRESS THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR AND PULL THE PARKING BREAK. THE REAR TIRES WERE STILL SPINNING SO I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE JEEP IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I'M SUPPOSE TO PICK IT UP HOWEVER I'M AFRAID TO BEGIN DRIVING THE JEEP AGAIN.

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED FEBRUARY 23, 2015 AROUND 9AM . IT WAS SNOWING THAT DAY AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20'S. I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE DEFROSTER/HEATER TURNED UP ALL THE WAY. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER OF SITTING, I HEARD A POPPING NOISE. ABOUT A FEW SECONDS LATER OF HEARING THIS POPPING NOISE I SLOWLY SEE A CRACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD JUST OVER 16 INCHES BUT NO MORE THAN 2 FEET LONG. I RECENTLY JUST MOVED FROM SAN DIEGO AND MY JEEP HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW OR HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE COLD WEATHER BEFORE. I WENT ON WRANGLERFORUM.COM (JEEP ENTHUSIAST WEBSITE) AND THAT IS WHERE I FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T ALONE. MORE JEEPS HAD THEIR WINDSHIELD CRACK DURING THE WINTER DUE TO THEM TURNING THE DEFROSTER/HEATER ABRUPTLY. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT ON THE WINDSHIELD OR THE INSULATION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAD DECLINED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY CLAIM ITS FROM AN EXTERNAL FACTOR. AND I ASSURE YOU, I DON'T HAVE A CHIP ON MY WINDSHIELD. *TR

THEY CONFIRMED PARTS MUST BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE ORDERED. NOW I AM INFORMED BY THE DEALER AND A PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER, THAT THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW THEIR DEALERS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS ONCE EVERY 14 DAYS. I AM FURTHER INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE DEALER'S LIST SO WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO ORDER 2 REPLACEMENT PARTS PER MONTH, IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE MY JEEP IS REPAIRED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE LOOMING. CAN THIS SAFETY RECALL REALLY BE TREATED THIS WAY BY CHRYSLER? IS THERE SOMETHING NHTSA CAN DO? *TR

RE: SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER STEERING FLUID TUBE WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (BILLY BENDER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH WITHOUT NOTICE THAT THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN TO CHECK ON PARTS. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WAS CURRENTLY 9TH ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER JEEP WAS ONLY SENDING THE DEALER ONE (1) SET OF PARTS PER MONTH SO IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLES' SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO GO 2 MONTHS WITHOUT REPAIR LET ALONE FOR CHRYSLER TO ONLY SUPPLY ONLY ONE PART PER MONTH TO DEALERS WHICH WILL ADD 9 ADDITIONAL MONTHS (SINCE I'M 9TH ON THE WAITING LIST) TO GET A SAFETY RECALL FIXED!!!! *TR

My 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, has a non-functional horn and steering wheel controls, including cruise control and audio buttons, which stopped working in. I suspect a faulty clockspring, as these symptoms match issues in prior Jeep Wrangler recalls for 2007-2012 models (NHTSA campaign 11V528000), where clockspring failures also disabled horns and risked airbag malfunctions. My vehicle shows. This poses a safety risk, as the horn is critical for avoiding collisions. No repairs attempted yet, but similar complaints appear online from other 2013 Wrangler owners. Please investigate for a potential recall.

The components in the N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 recall did exactly what they were recalled for. My check engine light came on a few months back so I brought it to be diagnosed at a parts store and diagnostic scanner listed P codes for possible O2 sensor. I brought my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport into a Jeep dealership(#1) in Friday, November 1st, 2024 and upon the first inspection, they found a couple of issues and printed an quote for $127.33, I signed off on that quote. Then another hour or 2 passed by, they brought me a revised quote for over $600, which I was still okay with and signed off to have repaired. Then they offered to bring me home after hours of sitting in the lobby. The next day, I get a link to review the revised inspection and it was over $2400. The engine charge was over $1900 caused by the N28 recall. I asked them to just do the recall because I could not afford it the remaining. Upon looking into forums, documents & diagrams researching online specific to the N28 recall, I reached out to the manufacturer quite a few times by phone and email. I was working with someone who I thought would be helpful, since he suggested I call a different Jeep Dealership (#2) Service Dept. and speak with a mechanic there. I spoke with a mechanic at #2 and sent #1's inspection report, and #2 dealership's mechanic confirmed the issues are connected & caused by the recall. The manufacture's contact (that I thought was more helpful than the ones I spoke with prior) was emailing me. I reported back to the contact on November 14th, 2024 what dealership #2 said and he never responded. I followed up for a response on November 21st, 2024. I still have no response as of January 30th, 2025.

My airbag dash light is illuminated. I took it to Park Jeep and the error code suggests that it is the clockspring that should be replaced. - I bought a "legally imported from Canada" 2013 Jeep Wrangler from a large US non-Jeep dealer in 2016. It had 55k miles so it would have been out of warranty. Recently, I had the pab recall work done at a local Jeep dealership. About a month later, my airbag light started coming on intermittently. Because of the timing of the recall work, I went back to that dealership to have them diagnose/see if they were the cause/etc.. They diagnosed it as needing the clockspring. I have been told by two local Jeep dealerships and the folks at 1-877-amjeep that even though the extended warranty on the clockspring applies to ALL NAFTA market vehicles, they wont fix it under warranty. I was actually told, "...the warranty it didn't have at the time it crossed into the US was voided, thus nullifying any future extended warranty that could would have covered other parts." FCA did this extended warranty nonsense to avoid a recall, and if they arent honoring the extended warranty, then there ought to be a recall on the clockspring. MY airbag is NON functioning due to a manufacturing defect and FCA wont fix it. I cannot be the only person that is adversely affected by this.

TWICE MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SIMPLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPPED. ALL THE LIGHTS STILL REMAINED ON. I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BY MISTAKE, BUT HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER DONEE THAT BEFORE.. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WENT ON MY WAY. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR ENGINE AGAIN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL TO SHOW THE VEHICLE HAD AN ISSUE. AND THERE WAS NO WAY THIS WAS A MISTAKE ON MY END. THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. IT WAS NOT ON A MAIN ROAD, BUT STILL ON AN ACTIVE ROAD, WHERE IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES 50 CARS MUST HAVE DRIVEN BY. IT WAS DARK OUT AND I AM LUCKY THERE WAS GOOD LIGHTING IN THE AREA. SOMEONE HELPED ME TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. ALL THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO CODES OR ERRORS THAT POPPED UP. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO RECOMMEND. BUT NOW I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR LESS I FIND MYSELF IN AN EVEN MORE PRECARIOUS SITUATION THAN BEFORE. THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE IS UNIDENTIFIABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. FURTHER BELOW THERE IS A LINK TO A WEBSITE, CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE CRANK SHAFT.

MY VEHICLE WAS CLEARED TO PICK UP ON 1/24/2015 FOLLOWING SERVICE THAT INCLUDED COMPUTER UPDATES, PHYSICAL INSPECTION, AND ROAD TESTING. MY VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 2/5/2015 WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. IN ALL THREE CASES, THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. THEY NEVER DID. ON 3/6/2015, I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL HELP. MY CASE WAS REFERRED TO A SPECIAL CASE MANAGER WHERE MY CONCERNS WERE RUDELY DISMISSED. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY TRUCK SINCE 3/11/2015, DESPITE THE FAILURE OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I DO NOT FEEL THE TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE A FAMILY AND WILL NOT PUT THEM AT RISK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER ARE BEING NEGLIGENT. I WILL NOT PICK UP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED, OR THE VEHICLE IS REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN A SIMILAR CASE INVOLVING A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER THAT STALLS FOR UNIDENTIFIED REASONS POSTED ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE. THIS ALSO SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT GM RECALL DUE TO DEFECTIVE IGNITION SYSTEMS THAT RESULTED IN STALLING AND CAUSED NUMEROUS FATALITIES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

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

DRIVERS SEAT DOES NOT REMAIN IN POSITION. UPON ENTERING OR EXITING VEHICLE THE OUTSIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION PUSHES DOWN ON THE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE LOWERING SEATS POSITION. THE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE CAN ONLY BE MOUNTED IN 120 DEGREE INCREMENTS SO FORGET TRUING TO CHANGE POSITION OF THE HANDLE AS IT'S TO FAR OUT OF USABLE POSITION THAT WAY.
Apr 04, 2016
DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTMENT FEATURE IS FAILING. PRIMARY DRIVER REQUIRES SEAT TO BE SET AT HIGHEST POSSIBLE HEIGHT (VERTICAL) ELEVATION POSITION. DRIVER HAS HAD TO REPEATEDLY USE MANUAL ADJUSTMENT FEATURE TO RAISE SEAT TO REQUIRED HEIGHT MAJORITY OF THE TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE FREQUENCY THAT THE ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE BEFORE DRIVING IS INCREASING. ALTHOUGH THE SEAT HAS NOT YET DROPPED WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, THE CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL START TO OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. WHEN THE SEAT DROPS, THE PRIMARY DRIVER HAS ISSUES WITH THE VISIBILITY AND REACHING THE BOTH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. (NOTE: WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT IS ADJUSTED TO A HIGHER POSITION, IT ALSO MOVES FORWARD...CLOSER TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKE/GAS PEDALS). IN ADDITION, WHEN THE SEAT DROPS TO ITS DEFAULT POSITION, THE PRIMARY DRIVER'S FACE IS ALSO PUT AT RISK IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PRIMARY DRIVER IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH THE SEAT IN THE DEFAULT POSITION. THE POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT FEATURE IN THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO CONSTITUTE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD THAT MAY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH (IF FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED BY THE PRIMARY DRIVER).

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated, and a message indicating that the brake light bulb had failed was displayed even though the bulb was operable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available. The contact stated that the mechanic contacted several dealers and was informed that the part was on backorder or had been discontinued. A local dealer also informed the contact that an ETA for the part could be provided, but the part would not be available on the expected date based on past experience. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

My dash lights went crazy while driving. I couldn't get the vehicle into the correct gear ( automatic transmission) I shut off waited then restarted drove home. After having the codes scaned it shows C2200 code ( faulty brake ABS module) called dealer they had none to sell or buy and told me no time was given to them when or if it would be available. I asked them what's the solution to using my vehicle safely then Park it and don't drive it.. Since then I've found thousands of people just like my situation. How can you build a vehicle and be unable to supply the public with replacement parts to operate as intended and not have a recall or offer a solution to trade off said vehicle. It's definitely a safety issue when a100,000 + owners have the exact same issue and no help In sight.

When driving approximately 45 mph and above the entire car starts to violently shake. I don't know what part causes this problem. I've heard it could be : steering damper, ball joints, tie rods, track bar, front suspension damper cause this. IDK. Until I can afford to take it to a service shop and get it checked and repaired, it sits parked because I'm afraid to drive it. This started about a month ago. Jeep (Stellantis) should be recalling and repairing ALL Wranglers with this problem not just newer models. My car has LOW miles but somehow got excluded from the lawsuit settlement apparently which is going by model years. This is a safety issue.

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT OSCILLATION IS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN TO UNDER 45 MPH WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TALKED WITH A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SO I DO NOT RECALL WHEN IT LAST HAPPENED. THEREFORE, I AM CHOOSING TODAY'S DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE FORM.

THE VEHICLE KEEPS LOSING POWER AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES (PASSING A VEHICLE; IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO SHOULDER; ON A HIGHWAY). I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO 4 ACCIDENTS B/C OF THIS PROBLEM. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE GOES FASTER THAN 70 MPH...POWER IS LOST. IT CONTINUALLY THROWS OFF A CODE OF 0369. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM: REPLACED ABS SYSTEM; REPLACED STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM; REPLACED OIL FILTER HOUSING; REPLACED THE CAM TWICE; SWAPPED THE CAM; REPLACED THE CAM PHASER; REPLACED ALL 4 CAM PHASERS; RE-FLASHED THE PCM; REPLACED THE PCM.

AFTER SITTING IDLE ALL NIGHT, STARTED VEHICLE IN MORNING AND ABS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AS THE REAR BRAKES WERE BEING ENGAGED BY A FAULTY SENSOR. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE AND LIGHTS WENT OUT AND BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION. I PULLED OUT ONTO THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE AND THE JEEP STUTTERED UPON ACCELERATION AND FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER BEFORE IT STOPPED. BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AFTER SHIFTING BACK TO NEUTRAL, I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ONTO THE STREET AND TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS CONDITION OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE. IN JULY OF 2016 THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY FITZGERALD JEEP IN CLEARWATER. CODES C1035 AND C1049 WERE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR. THIS FAULTY SENSOR COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES, AT BEST, OR A FATALITY/FATALITIES AT WORST. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS A FAULTY SENSOR TO OVERRIDE THE DRIVERS ACTION IS A MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR EVEN A ROCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, SOMETHING HAPPENS THE FRONT END IT STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY ITS AS IF YOU HAD A BLOW OUT. NORMALLY AROUND 35 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP OWNERS THEY CALL IT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE." IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. SLOWING DOWN DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS NOT WAY OF PULLING OVER OR ON A ROAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE CITY STREETS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SITUATION, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME , BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING . THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT MADE VIDEO OF IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ON YOU-TUBE OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. ALSO THE ELECTRIC ON THE BLINKERS SEEM TO BE GOING OUT OFTEN ALSO. REPLACING A BULB DOES NOT WORK IT IS THE WHOLE SOCKET OR WIRING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I I RESEARCH THESE ISSUES MANY MANY JEEP OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING

AT ONLY AROUND 20,000 MILES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING I WOULD HEAR A CRUNCH SOUND. ALSO THE CLOTH TOP ON THE JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED VERY TIGHTLY AGAINST THE SIDE ROLL BARS AND ARE WEARING OUT THE CLOTH ON THE POLES WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY END UP WITH A TORN MATERIAL. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC BACK WINDOW AT 17,0000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. CURRENTLY THE JEEP HAS 28,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE FENDER FLARES HAVE STARTED FADED ALREADY TOO.

THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ONE OCCASION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT CRANKED AND CRANKED BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. TODAY WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE, I COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER...AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND MY BATTERY ALMOST DYING I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION TO BATTERY AND IT FIRED UP AFTER RECONNECTING. I'M READING THERE ARE 50,000+ VEHICLES WITH A TIPM ISSUE AND BELIEVE THIS IS IMPACTING MY JEEP. IT'S A $1300 FIX THAT I THINK CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD OWN.

MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING 2X AND THEN DOES NOT RESTART EVEN THOUGH IT IS CRANKING OVER. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF SPORADIC ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE. I REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE MAP SENSOR AT THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE AND DROVE 4000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. IT DOES NOT STUTTER LIKE POOR GAS DELIVERY OR COUGH IT JUST QUITS LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

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.

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.

THE ONLY TIME THAT IT SEEMS TO NOT HAPPEN IS WHEN THE CAR IS ON A FLAT SURFACE AND I JUST STARTED OUT AND ALL TIRES ARE STRAIGHT.

SEVERAL MILES FROM HOME I CROSSED A BRIDGE DOING BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MILES PER HOUR AND THE JEEP STARTED BOUNCING AND SHAKING SO BAD (LIKE IT HAD 4 SQUARE TIRES) AND VEERING TO THE LEFT. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING SO HARD I HAD TROUBLE HOLDING ONTO IT. I BRAKED REALLY SLOW AND KEPT IT ON THE ROAD TILL IT CAME TO A STOP. I HAD JUST MET A VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD (WHICH ARE NOT VERY WIDE AND NO SHOULDER) AND WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE COMING TOWARDS ME, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS/FATAL ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT ONLY TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP AND THAT I MUST DID NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE ON ROUGH ROADS. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOTHING EVERY HAPPENED TO HIM. OCTOBER 26, 2014....ONCE AGAIN I WAS CRUISING DOWN A HIGHWAY DOING 71 MPH AND THE JEEP STARTED BOUNCING ALL OVER THE ROAD......I DID NOT HIT A BUMP OR ANYTHING. AGAIN FELT LIKE THE JEEP HAD 4 SQUARE TIRES AND I ENDED UP WITH 3 VENTI COFFEES ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF JEEP. SEVERAL MILES LATER CROSSING A BRIDGE AT 35 MPH THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING ALL OVER AGAIN. I LEFT WORD WITH THE SALESMANS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND ONCE AGAIN THE JEEP WENT IN ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP. TODAY (JAN.9, 2015) MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND CROSSED THE SAME BRIDGE WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE SHAKING OF THE JEEP........NOW HE BELIEVES ME THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP. HE CALLED THE SALESMAN AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED.......ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT.

THE HILL START ASSIST MALFUNCTIONS CONSTANTLY, THIS CAN STALL THE ENGINE WHEN STARTING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE WARE ON THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH. THERE ARE 2 SWITCHES THAT TELL THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED. ONE WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH AND ANOTHER THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN ALL THE WAY. THE HILL START ASSIST IS PROGRAMMED TO USE THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH INSTEAD OF THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY PRESSED. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO STAY LOCKED UP EVEN AFTER THE CLUTCH IS FULLY ENGAGED WHEN STARTING ON A HILL. THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKES AS SOON AS YOU START TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH PETAL BEFORE THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGES. THE HILL START ASSIST SHOULD USE THE SAME SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED WHICH IS THE SAME SWITCH THAT IS USED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING IN GEAR AND NOT THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE PEDAL IS LIGHTLY PRESSED WHICH IS THE SWITCH THAT TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

NOW EVERYONE I CALLED SAY ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR NO RECALL BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TIRES FOR THE SIDEWALLS TO KEEP HAVING FLATS. AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THIS IS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE ISN'T IT, NOT THAT I'VE EVEN TAKEN IT OFF ROAD.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I WAS MOVING THE SHIFTER TO REVERSE AND HEARD A CLUNK SOUND. IT WAS NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT. IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF SPACE AND MOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER TO DRIVE AND HEARD ANOTHER CLUNKING NOISE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. AS I TRIED TO PICK UP SPEED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE RPM'S WENT HIGHER AND HIGHER. WE DROVE THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT. SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR HOME AND NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY OR NOT AT ALL. *TR

ON JULY 19TH 2013 I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT BIG GARBAGE CONTAINER TRUCK HIT MY BACK AND THE FORCE I HIT INFRONT OF MY VEHICLE INJURING A PASSENGER . THIS WAS A MULTI VEHICLE ACCIDENT ,I WAS IN THE MIDDLE HIT FROM MY BACK AND MY FRONT HIT INFRONT OF MY VEHICLE. DURING THIS IMPACT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IT. I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER ,THEY ISSUE A CASE#[XXX] AND INVESTIGATE THE ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER THEY SEND TO TECHNICIAN TO TAKE A SENSOR DATA FROM MY VEHICLE AND SEND TO DETROIT FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED LETTER FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC. THE LETTER CONTENTS ARE THE PURPOSE OF THE AIRBAG IS TO DEPLOY IN THOSE IMPACTS WHERE THE ACCIDENT SEVERITY IS GREAT ENOUGH AND THE FRONT-END CRUSH CANNOT MANAGE ALL OF THE ENERGY OF THE IMPACT AND LOWER THE LONGITUDINAL (FRONT TO BACK) DECELERATION IN THE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT TO THE DESIRED LEVELS. MY CASE I HAVE FRONT AND BACK IMPACT,MY VEHICLE ALONE $17000.00+ DAMAGE. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO RELEASE THE REPORT TO ME UNLESS I HAVE A LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE. HOW CAN I FIND THAT AIRBAG WASN'T MALFUNCTIONING AND WHAT G-FORCE THAT TRUCK HIT ME. IF YOU NEED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THESE ACCIDENT I WILL ASSIST YOU WITH BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55, I ADJUSTED MY POSITION IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL. I PLACED MY FEET ON THE CARPET IN FRONT OF THE SEAT AND PUSHED MYSELF UP AND BACK INTO THE SEAT TO ADJUST MY COMFORT AND POSITION. THE CARPET AND CARPET MAT WENT UP INTO THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. WITH MY FEET I PULLED THE CARPET AND THE MAT BACK AND OUT OF THE PEDALS. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND MOVED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE THE CAUSE. THE DRIVER SIDE CARPET IS A SEPARATE PIECE OF CARPET WITH A MAT ATTACHED BY A HOOK THAT IS PART OF THE CARPET. THE CARPET DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY BACKING. IT LOOKS SPUN. THE DRIVER POSITION CARPET IS A SEPARATE PIECE THAT TERMINATES ABOUT 6 TO 10 INCHES UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE CARPET HAS HOLES THAT ALLOW THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME TO ATTACH TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CLAMPING THE CARPET DOWN. THERE IS NO CLAMPING FORCE HOLDING THE CARPET DOWN UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CARPET END UNDER THE SEAT IS PLACED UNDER THE CARPET COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY ATTACHMENT BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK CARPET TO HOLD THE CARPET IN PLACE. MY ACTION OF PUSH WITH MY FEET TO ADJUST MY COMFORT AND POSITION RIPPED THE CARPET ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE BY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND STRETCHED THE CARPET ON THE RIGHT SIDE, WHICH LET THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CARPET TO MOVE UP INTO THE BREAK AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS. I REPLACED CARPET MAT WITH THE HARD MOLDED RUBBER MATS. THESE MATS SEEM TO KEEP THE CARPET AND MATS FROM MOVING UP INTO THE PEDALS. THE MATS AND CARPET STILL SHIFT FORWARD AND I HAVE TO ADJUST THEM WHEN THE CARPET GETS TOO FAR FORWARD. *TR
