general problems of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler

I have had my transmission in my Jeep Wrangler fixed five times it is still barely working. As well as I am having an extremely bad death wobble when I drive, which is very unsafe for me and my son when we are in the vehicle. We have been trying to keep getting it fixed, but it seems like nothing is working. As well as my lights have been going in and out on my dashboard, which is again unsafe during the night. I am afraid for me and my sons safety and we are not wanting to keep driving this vehicle as well it barely passed emissions so I can get my tag for my plates. We are wanting to get something safer for me and my family.

My vehicle is having a start issue…if I can get it to start…it wii die when trying to drive it…then takes numerous tries to get it to start if it will…. It is doing everything in the recall 14v-438 …not sure why my vehicle is not part of the 640,000 + vehicles that were recalled on this…. Especially since I am having this major issue…any help would b appreciated. . This started in April right b4 we were headed to our main house and we had to leave the vehicle here because we had to be back north. Just got back to florida and now needing to get this taken care of. I have a case # 94417103 thru Jeep cs but they act like they can not help only you? hopefully u can. 512-850-1171. Thx in advance….

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that occasionally while driving at various speeds, the air-bags warning light would illuminate. In addition the seat belt warning light would illuminate when going downhill. The check engine warning light illuminated on the day of purchasing the vehicle. The contact stated he scanned the vehicle with an obd2 that showed that the battery may have been disconnected or code reset. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

All of my wires on the drivers side is unhooked and hanging. All of my emergency light have came on. The car is running hot and not catching up on proper speed. The car wobbles left and right when going over 40mph. My reverse camera is hanging covering my license plate causing m to consistently get pulled over. There are a lot of safety concerns. The dealer used profanity towards me and told me he was not fixing anything, I better use my warranty. I got what I got!.

Heater core.

My Jeep had a piston / connecting rod break through bottom of my engine block my Jeep was maintenanced and I'm second owner and it only has 74,000mi so go into now I'm paying on vehicle and no way get work, plug in my code reader and find code of death like really. Any way was indicated that my number 4 cylender had miss fire leading to stuck in a very expensive paper weight. I was driving northbound route 209.

Started on fire,struggled going up hill then started on fre.

Driving home Friday night engine started hard knocking and had catastrophic failure. Thrown rod. Called local Jeep dealer and corresponded with mother ship Jeep - told me to pound sand. Mentioned something about it being a canadian car and no warranty - how would I know that?.

I was driving down the road going 55 mph and a huge gust of white smoke came thru the dash vent system so I pulled over and got out of my Jeep sahara and noticed a big mass of white smoke coming out from under the hood. . . 2 minutes later, fire started and within a couple minutes my whole front part of the Jeeps engine was engulfed in flames. Than from there it burned up the rest of the Jeep. . This vehicle was completely destroyed in a matter of 10-15 minutes. . I was driving on a paved road in the country . .

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While traveling between 55-65 mph, the vehicle shook uncontrollably. There were no warning indicators illuminated before or after the failure. The vehicle was taken to I. G. Burton Chevrolet of milford (793 bay rd, milford, DE) where it was diagnosed that the stabilizer failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon, I bought it new and it has not been off road except in a field or two and the only mud it has seen is from the road. It has not been lifted nor does it have over sized tires. I have had my electronic stability control light come on a few times in the 6 years I have had the vehicle, but it has always went right back off. It and the abs came on a few weeks ago and will not go off, because it thinks my vehicle is sliding or spinning, the right front brakes will grab and it cuts the power to the engine. Today I was pulling out onto a main road and the brakes were acting like the abs(that warning light is also on) was pulsing, I could feel it in the pedal. As I hit the gas to pull onto a very busy highway, the esc light started flashing and cut the power to my engine and I could not go. As I was in a merge lane I was able to quickly cut to the right and get back off the road before I was hit by another vehicle. This is not the first time this has happened since this problem has been going on. I have had the Jeep to the dealership and they ordered the wiring harness (broken wire they said) to fix it 2 weeks ago and they haven't contacted me that it is in yet. But I was told that because the wiring is ran through the frame they have to pull the body off to replace it. Yes it is going to cost a lot to fix, but I will also have to arrange to take it to the dealership(which is about an hour away) and until I am able to do that, I still have to drive it. I contacted Jeep and talked to someone with their customer service about the concerns I have with being able to pull into traffic and the brakes holding me back and asking if there was a recall for this problem, but they said no and wasn't really concerned about it. And also, the warning lights come and go, flash and it won't go, as it did today when I tried to merge into traffic.

Engine blew out the oil, no warning lights, engine blew a rod. Engine locked up.

On two occasions, within a two week period, the vehicle continued to accelerate after the accelerator pedal had been released. The most severe occurred while passing and overtaking another vehicle. The application of the brakes and the parking brake did nothing to stop the acceleration. During the intended passing the vehicle reached 70 mph. The unintended acceleration took the vehicle to 85 mph. Eventually the vehicle stopped accelerating and was driven to the side of the roadway.

The engine cunsumes oil at a very high rate! told 1 quart every 1,000 by the dealership! in August 2013 while driving on a highway I had a rod baring snap and shoot metal chips into the oil pan at 52,000, the whole engine locked up and needed replaced. On may 7th 2016, again driving on the highway at 56,000 miles on the new engine, same exact thing rod baring snapped, metal hips into the oil pan, engine locked up and needed replace! the dealership inspected the oil pan and I was told there was absolutely no neglect on my part! I always has the oil changed between 3,000-5,000 miles. . I was told by the dealership this is a common issue. I can not believe this engine has not been totally recalled!!.

I was driving my 2011 Jeep Wrangler about 5-8 mph when I heard a “pop” type of noise. I then saw a flame under the hood on the passenger side. All of a sudden, my throttle locked up and my car wouldn’t stop. I had both feet on the brakes, but my tires kept spinning. My electrical was locked up and I couldn’t get the Jeep out of drive and into park. My boyfriend ran over, jumped in the passenger side to try to get the Jeep into park, as I couldn’t get it to move. He fractured his hand in two places getting the gearshift to go into park. At this point there was black smoke coming from the under the hood. He was finally able to get it into park. At that point he helped pull me out the passenger side of the Jeep as the fire/flames were starting to come thru the dashboard into the inside of the Jeep. It took about an hour to get the fire out, then approx. 15-20 min later the fire started again on the passenger side.

1. Last year I had to replace my engine because Chrysler said it ran low on oil which caused engine damage. I had 11 oil changes and proof of service from oil change shops that entire year. I paid the 8k to put a new engine in to get it out of stevens creek Chrysler Jeep and Dodge. I was told to take Chrysler to small claims court. I never got a chance to because I could not "serve" anyone at Chrysler corporation properly. 2. The new engine that I bought had the same problem. They did an oil compression check and it lost all of its oil in 1000 miles. My car is in the shop now. Chrysler will come back and probably replace the engine for free this time. 3. While my car has been in the shop this weekend , it was broken into. Both windows broken and speakers stolen. The dealership said they would pay for this and fix it. What I want is not a new engine. I want my money back for the entire Jeep since they sold me a car that has had two blown engines now and I have all the reciepts to prove the first time I was not at fault. I do not want to take Chrysler to small claims. I want it done for me. I cannot get to the right people at Chrysler in order to push this further. I spoke to a few lawyers and they said it isnt neccesarily a lemon law case but it is more of a dealership/Chrysler warranty case. What can I do? thank you. . Read more...

My Jeep has been in for the 3rd time this month for the same thing. Leaking transmission fluid on the garage floor. The 1st time dealer found the leak between transmission adaptor housing and transfer case input, replaced trans. Rear adaptor seal and transfer case input shaft seal. The 2nd time dealer verified leak and replaced the same as previous. Now the 3rd time it is in for the same thing. Still waiting to get my vehicle back and it has been 5 days. Dealer called and it wont be til at least Monday til its ready.

Received a recall letter l35 emissions. Called to get the repairs and was told I would need to ship the Jeep to another island as Chrysler has no repair service on molokai. The companies should have to make arrangements with a repair service on this island. Would cost over $500 to ship to oahu as they suggested.
