general problems of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler - part 2

I parked the Jeep, set the emergency brake and put the vehicle in gear, with engine off. While inside the business lobby, the Jeep started to roll backward into a busy roadway. The Jeep gain speed due to the incline. And I desperately attempted to stop the Jeep, before it could roll-away onto the busy roadway and cause injuries or fatalities. I was ran over by my Jeep � during my desperate and unsuccessfull attempt to stop the roll-away Jeep. The Jeep stoped, after crashing into an electrical utilities pole at the curb-side. I suffered severe damage to my leg requiring immediate emergency medical attention. The Jeep was taken to a Chrysler dealer, for an inspection. While the Jeep was in the dealership, Chrysler sent out a private contractor to inspect the vehicle. As part of the inspection, the occupant restraint controller (orc) crash-data was retrieved. I made several requests to Chrysler, for a copy of the final inspection report. And was repeatedly denied the (orc) data, retrieved from my Jeep Wrangler. The Chrysler dealer had to replace the front axle of the Jeep. The out-of-pocket cost for the repair was $6,859. 92. Also, I had the Jeep taken to different Jeep-Chrysler dealer, for a second inspection. After performing diagnostics, the certified mechanic confirmed that the emergency brakes, while engaged � would not hold the vehicle. The e-brake was replaced at out-of-pocket cost of $1,138. 41. The failure mileage, for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler rubicon was 46,600. The 2011 NHTSA database posted Chrysler recall no. B03also, for Jeep Wrangler roll aways resulting from parking brake assembly failures. However, the probem has not been corrected and continues after recalls. This is a serious, and very dangerous safety issue � in that you can see these vehicles turning into un-guided missles. And doing damage to people and property, as a result of parking brake failures.

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.

A ticking noise. Valves ticking. I was told. That there is a recall on this with Jeep. Wranglers.

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.

No heat! clogged heater core! grit and slime in dirty/discolored oem coolant (10 yr/150k mile rated). Never touched or added to, unless undocumented by dealer. This is our family vehicle that my wife/kids use daily, and it is about 10f here in vt right now. Very common Chrysler issue apparently and dealer does nothing but attempt to flush multiple times which does not solve the problem and is a huge inconvenience! I am still under 5 yr/100k powertrain warranty, since when is cooling system not part of power train? heat was reduced last winter, this winter virtually none. Dangerous to constantly clear the windshield with no defrost! this needs to be a recall.

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 stalls when going down the highway and there is no power steering or brakes I have taken it in to local Jeep dealer and can find nothing wrong it also stalls when backing up or going forward it does start back up but on the highway it doesn't start right away it takes 10 to 15 minutes it's very dangerous this is getting to be a common thing somebody is going to get hurt or killed thank you for your time this really needs to be address.

Heater does not produce warm air on driver side of vehicle through floor, vent, or defrost. Driving speed does not affect temperature on driver side. Heat will sometimes get warm on driver side after an hour of driving. Appears to be related to star case s12307000008. This is a wide spread, known issue, that is very expensive to repair. It is dangerous as well due to ice build up on windshield because there is no defrost heat on driver side.

A hazard to every occupant, heating system quits working due to faulty self-destructing heater core that also disables oil cooler and radiator. Original part number #68004193a sheds all casting sand then causing clogs & total shut downs. Clearly known well since 2013 with no warning to any owners (reference their own Jeep forum). In addition to frozen passengers and complete shut-down @ �anytime�, the $110 made-to fail part results in $2,382 added expense, as well as multiple mis-diagnosis expense(s) by their own certified mechanics. Criminal.

A well-known fault since 2013, a self-destructive faulty heater core part #68004193a which sheds casting sand causing complete shut down of radiator & oil cooler & engine operation. In addition, causes certified Jeep mechanics to mis-diagnose resulting in additional costly time & expense. Damage done to replace heater core, radiator, oil cooler an additonal $2,382. While still driveable in below-freezing temperatures, passengers subject to no heat.

Our Jeep started stalling on occasion about 10 months ago when sitting in traffic. Restart was immediate. It progressively started happening more often. Four months ago we took it to the service department at the dealership. They replaced a wiring harness for the fuel pump and a spark plug. It did not fix the problem. They replaced a valve body for the transmission. That did not fix the problem. They replaced a rocker arm and multiple other parts and still it has not fixed the problem. On September 29, 2017, it stalled while in motion at 30 mph on a city street. My daughter was alone while driving it and sat in the middle of the road for 15 minutes before it would restart. We have talked with a mechanic that does not work for the dealership and he does not know what the problem could be. No one seems to know what is causing the problem and it could have been very dangerous if she had been driving at a faster rate of speed or if there had been more traffic. It was a sunny day and the roads were dry.

Clock spring failure. When stationary the instrument cluster is showing an airbag alert and all control buttons in the steering wheel except cruse control have failed. When the left spoke of the steering wheel is rotated counter clockwise to the 2 o'clock position the airbag alert turns off and all buttons work but only in that position. No difference when in motion except a ding when the steering wheel is turned past a certain position.

The ignition key security system is suppose to pretect the vehicule againts thef , my Jeep had been stolen 2 days ago and I then found simply on the web that those key are inaffective and nobody seem to care. . Read more...

Driver side air bag and horn nonoperational.

2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon 4x4 vehicle stalls while driving and then will not start again for 4-5 minutes. This happens at all speeds and has put us in some very unsafe situations. Dealer has not been able to find a solution and cannot recreate the problem even though it happens to us multiple times per week. Yesterday it took me 20 minutes to drive 4 miles because it stalled three times. I see blogs with many other complaints about the same issue but still no recall. The dealers do not know how or do not want to fix and meanwhile consumers are stuck with unreliable, unsafe vehicles.

I have notices on the Jeep forums similar issues with electric window not going down. My vehicle all 4 window electronics do not work and the dealers are telling me that the tipm needs to be replaced. When reading, this seems to be a common issue that nobody seems to want to address as a common defect however its pretty wide spread. The tpim is the complete fuse system under the hood which makes no sense since it is only one portion of the entire electrical system and this part through the dealer runs about $1000 plus installation. Seems like it would be a plug and play issue but never the less the dealer say they never heard of this issue. Read the forums it seems to be a pretty consistent issue no matter what model. Yet the dealer tells you to turn the key on and off and also remove the batter cables to fix this issue. Seems like something they already already know about dont ya think?.

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.

Air bag light came on, none of the steering wheel controls including the horn are working.

Having problems with my heater core and radiator becoming clogged I have had them both flushed by the dealership several times and they still clog causing hazardous driving in the winter time with no defrosters or heat to safely drive to work.

My 2013 Jeep Wrangler started having sensor problems within a year after I bought it brand new!! now after three years and many sensors being replaced along with sensor wiring it's not driveable and dealership mechanics can not fix it or figure out what's wrong. The engine light along with traction control light stays on, the automatic transmission will not shift good, it has trouble cranking, and cuts off in the middle of the road which is very dangerous and can cause an accident!!! in the last month I've had 4 software updates done, replaced the abs module, replaced cam shaft sensor, and wheel speed sensors, but after I pick it up from the dealership I drive it a few miles and lights come back on and it starts running horrible again!! I'm paying for a vehicle you can't even drive so something has got to be done about this!!! Chrysler should have to be held responsible for these crappy Jeeps they are making, and mine is not the only one!!!.

Vehicle exhibits stalling and engine shut off at idle or low speeds below 60 mph. Vehicle bucks/slips/jerks at speeds of 60 mph+ as witnessed by dealer service mechanic. Vehicle intermittently will not go into gear or will reverse while in drive and must be turned off and returned to park, before attempting to restart. Check engine light on. No dealer codes found therefore, unable to properly diagnose and repair. Vehicle is very unsafe and unstable.

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.

With only 58,306 miles on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler, the clock spring has failed and air bag system will not deploy. In addition, this poses abandonment concerns as many users with similar problems find their vehicle will not start. I contacted my dealership today (northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge) and was dismayed at an almost $700 repair bill to regain airbag protection, even though fca has issued a recall for this same part number, but only in 2007 rhd vehicles. This is the same part!.

Jeep has been stalling for 7 months. Been in shop 9 times. Jeep stalls going at different spends, while stopped, moving at idle in forward or reverse. Jeep will not start unless terminal on battery removed or sits for awhile. Transmission fails to engage occasionally in reverse or drive after stalling. Last program download appears to be a fault with the tipm (totally intergrated power module). Ptm and tpm changed out due to different readings in downloads. Mechanic believes now, that the tipm is faulty. Jeep has stalled up to 5 & 6 times on some days.

Windshield cracked.

I have been trying to make contact with edd kirby adventure cars in dalton, georgia about fixing a recall on my Jeep Wrangler. I have called them multiple times trying to set up an appointment and all that I have been able to do is leave voice mails with my name and phone number and have not got a call back. When I tried talking to the dealer manager I was put on hold for ten minutes before I was transferred back to there secretary, at time time I simply disconnected the line because apparently they dont have time to help a customer with a safety recall. I believe this is a terrible way to do business and will be looking for a new Jeep dealer to handler my maintenance.

Oil cooler / filter housing leak - oil collects at base of cooler housing. Happened at 25k miles and continues.

I received a recall notice and have visited i77 auto group in ripley wv several times. They don't have the parts but say they will call. Never received a return call. Thank you, ray cogar.

Purchased Jeep Wrangler in 2013. Soon afterwards had moisture problems dealership where purchased took Jeep in several times and I have never taken top off but I did take t top off twice, but the amount of moisture is overwhelming that less then a year I have mold, mildew and puddles of water that the dealership used a substance to cover floor on passenger side. Once I noticed dealership stops returning calls and refuses service. I soon develop electrical problems and dashboard blinking of signals I. E. Seat belt signal prompt won't stop blinking and making ding ding noise. On 20 April dealership in olympia washington refuses service to check now electrical problems. Impossible to get an appointment mileage on Jeep is 8000 or less miles in 4 years due to problems or in shop.

No accident. . . Yet. I have received 3 recall notices in the mail from Chrysler regarding the transmissino oil cooler tube - safety recall n28/NHTSA/ 13v-234 over the course of a year. With each notice I have called the superstition Jeep Chrysler dealership where I bought my vehicle. Each time I am told they would have to order the part and then call me back to schedule the repair. There is never a call back. With today's 3rd notice, I was again told the part was not in. This time they said the problem is that only a very limited number of parts have been shipped out at a time. It seems wrong of them to hold back on shipping the parts if they know their is a potential risk to owners. Per the recall notice, I am issuing this complaint.

I have been informed by mail that there was a recall involving the transmission oil cooler tube. When I call the dealership for service, I'm told they don't have the parts, can only order 1 part a month and that I would have to wait. . . . . Been over a year now.

I was notified of a safety recall (n28/ NHTSA 13v-234) over three months ago. I have called the dealership several times and they keep stating that the parts are not available. What kind of recourse do I have?.

Went to dealership to have this issue fixed and was told they did not have the part to fix the problem. Not only did they not have the part but Chrysler allowed them to order one part every 14 days! this means they are fixing 2 Jeeps a month! I live in va beach where there is an abundance of Jeep vehicles and several large Jeep dealerships. How on earth can you expect to have the issue corrected when there are only 2 vehicles being repaired monthly! I couldn't believe this foolishness and had to contact Chrysler myself. Bill confirmed they are only allowing dealerships 1 part every 14 days. Why you ask? because they do not want to run out of stock! they are failing to make the parts available because they do not want to run out of stock! really? we are driving these vehicles that cost nearly $40,000! and endangering our lives because they don't want to deplete their stock. Are they making the parts in somebody's basement?! if I get in an accident as a result of this complete incompetence Chrysler will be held responsible. Fyi! ridiculous!!!!!.

Safety recall n28/NHTSA 13v-234. Notified the dealer 4 months ago that I received a recall. They have ordered the part but still have not received it. They state that Chrysler only ships them the parts for one repair a month. If they sold only 12 Jeeps a month over the 2 years the recall spans that will take them 288 years to get all the repairs done.

Vehicle travelling down curved highway ramp, inexplicably lost control, hit the jersey barrier, went over the jersey barrier and crashed into the abutment of the overpass bridge and then flipped over bursting into flames. Driver was killed. No evasive maneuvers were made by the driver, no skid marks, cause of crash unknown.
