general problems of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler

Abs, traction control and brake lights came on. Veh has 45000 miles on it. Was advised the abs module is bad. Part is no where to be found, and no dealer can order it. Basically the vehicle braking system is questionable on the road without abs or traction.

Beginning of Feb. , lost power on freeway. Went from 65 to 40 mph and could not accelerate. Engine and traction lights came on. Exited the fwy and drove to dealer where I was turned away due to high volume. Left my Jeep at the dealer the following day with this issue and to correct campaign #v51 recall. The engine light wasn't lit anymore and dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it so I picked it up. Couple of weeks later, I failed the smog check I need to register my Jeep, and an engine code showed up, p0394. I took it to other places where the same code showed up and was recommended to take it back to the dealer. Going downhill, my father experienced the same while driving my Jeep. Beginning of March, omw to the dealer on the fwy, I lost power again and the engine and traction lights came on. I showed the dashboard to the service advisor, explained the continued problem and the code showing up. I left my Jeep there for several days because they couldn't reproduce the problem and didn't know what was causing it. The code was cleared when I picked it up. The following day, as I was making a right turn into a parking lot, the engine stalled. I used gravity to partly move back down as there was another car driving into the lot. I put it on "park" and I was able to restart the car. No engine light this time. This morning I lost power driving to the first stop on my street (stop on my side only). I had already entered the t-intersection but could not accelerate to turn left. I put it in "park" then back to "drive" and accelerated normally. There were no cars around because of the corona virus, but I would have been hit on the driver's side if a coming vehicle (who has the right-a-way), decided not to slow down.

Began having issues with rpms revving but no acceleration while driving then all of the sudden Jeep will not turn over and warning light for etc is on.

Lightning bolt symbol and check engine light come on while driving. Vehicle goes into limp mode and starts running roughly. If turned off and allowed to sit will start up again just fine. Check engine light typically turns off after a couple more trips and runs just fine until it randomly does it again. Has been sometimes minutes, other times weeks between episodes. Have had accelerator position sensor replaced, throttle body replaced, and wiring to throttle replaced. Keeps happening. Has happened when vehicle is parked, sitting at light, normal driving, and while driving at highway speed.

Driving out of my work parkinglot on a clear dry even road onto a fourlane street across traffic abs and traction control lights came on then front brakes locked up and then started pulsating causing me to almost be t-boned in the drivers side.

When driving and accelerate to around 3500 to 5000 rpm randomly the Jeep stalls and doesn't accelerate nore passes 2500 rpms. Very dangerous when driving in the freeway. I cleared the check engine light around 3 different occasions. Obd code was p06dd.

Check engine light and hill assist always lit. Dealer constantly resetting and I was repeatedly told not to worry as it is probably "bad gasoline. " now, no acceleration and is more pronounced when on an incline ie highway entrance ramp. Presently, one week into diagnostics and repairs with present diagnosis being "probably" cam shaft phasers. Important to note engine repairs previously done one month of ownership on brand new vehicle. In addition, engine light has been on while in warranty but told not to worry. Now, almost complete engine rebuild. Jeep will not assist even though engine light has been on and reported to dealer (and documented) while in warranty. Vehicle purchased brand new, never used "four wheeling" or utilized to tow. Mileage reflects ~ highway travel. Religiously maintained through dealership.

12 jkru 52,000 miles. It first happened at night while wife was driving on interstate Jeep went crazy mode all lights in cluster illuminated warning lights flashing and with hot oil msg, warning dings going off, heard electric fan running . It seemed that nothing was controllable, auto trans went into and would not shift out of first gear. Scared the hell out of my wife. Got home after shut off I tried to restart but nothing happened. I disconnected battery to reset cpu that did not work. I stopped by auto zone to get codes scanned . They told me every system was reporting failure and needs to go to dealer. After restart every thing was normal. After 100 yards down the street it all happened again. Pulled into store parking lot, turned Jeep off and would not restart till 4th try. Drove it strait to dealer in first gear with all. They said that it was tipm and not under warranty, gave MA a rental car for 10 days because part is on back order. After 10 days Chrysler quit paying for rental car and still have no part to fix Jeep it has been 16 days. I guess there are alot of failures for the tipm causing back order and do not know when they will get one.

The tipm unit went out, causing lots of issues. The issues we¿re aware of are: the doors wouldn't lock, shifter was stuck in park, radio/cd/bluetooth wouldn¿t work, and the front headlights wouldn't turn off leading to a complete drain of the battery. Thankfully, the vehicle was parked and this didn't happen while we were driving it (it could have been very dangerous if it did). It cost us $1100. 00 to replace the tipm unit, which was a huge financial burden on us, but even worse was that we had to go without the Jeep (one of our main means of transportation) for almost two months because there's a waiting list for the replacement part. We checked with 3 different repair shops just to be sure, and all said the same thing: 1. ) that there's a waiting list at least 40 people long for this tipm unit, and 2. ) that they've been seeing Jeep Wranglers left & right for this same exact problem, and there¿s a waiting list because the part can't even be manufactured quickly enough to keep up with the demand. I know the tipm unit has been recalled for Jeep cherokees, but why not Jeep Wrangler when this is clearly a major issue for it as well??.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated to 90 mph. The contact would have to put the vehicle in neutral to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. Ne.

Upon starting the vehicle after being parked overnight or a long period of time (4-5 hours), the acceleration appears to be sluggish. The vehicle is driven in California so cold weather should not be an issue. Additionally, the vehicle is normally warmed up for a short period prior to driving to allow the rpm to lower and settle. The sluggish acceleration requires the driver to exert more force on the accelerator pedal to maintain a steady acceleration. After approximately 5-10 minutes of driving, the vehicle appears to accelerate smoother with less strain on the engine.
