general problems of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that after her husband had arrived at his destination, upon returning to the vehicle and attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was eventually able to restart and returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The contact stated that the failure seemed to occur after driving the vehicle for longer than 45 minutes to one hour. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure safety recall j30. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 92,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 mph, as she was depressing the accelerator pedal to gain forward momentum the vehicle was not responding. The contact stated that it felt like the transmission was stuck. The contact stated that she observed that the rpm gauge was showing an increase in rpms but the vehicle was not gaining forward momentum. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that during a state inspection she was advised that she had a leak that was found on the passenger side rear axel shaft seal. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it had not yet been diagnosed the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

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 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 dad a certified ase mechanic has looked at it multiple times and fixed various components related to the cooling/heating system.

Driving approx 65 mph on highway. Rpm jumped then car lost power. Would not shift past neutral and unable to remove key. Auto door unlock failed. Vehicle was evacuated and then struck from behind at high speed.

I was leaving a grocery store and as I was turning onto the busy main road my Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited stalled with no warning no lights it just died it would not start at all. After 20 minutes it then started. It was very dangerous because the person behind me could have hit me if there wasn't any other traffic. This has happened before at traffic lights where it would stall out of no where but then I could turn the key and it would start. I am terrified to get on the highway afraid it will do that again and harm me or others on the road.

I was in motion on highway at 60mph dash lights and radio went off, the engine went off for about 3 seconds then everything came back to normal. This occurred 3 times in the next 10 minutes. Each occurance was the same. Ran fine after that for 30 mins. Has not reoccured. Total shut down is dangerous. I have heard reports of this happening to many Jeeps.

At low speeds, usually while braking, the Jeep will lurch forward/accelerate.

Car shuts down while driving and seems to kick a lot going from gear to gear.

I was driving with my children in the Jeep to a dental appointment driving 45 miles per hour. I hear a cling clunk sound and abs light comes on and then a loud bang and Jeep does not want to go. I pulled over right away I smell a awful smell. So I shut my truck off. Called my husband and leave my truck and get a ride to dental appointment. We called a tow truck next day to have it towed to auto repair shop. I get a call two days later stating my emergency break system had faulted and engaged it's self snapping my axel, speed sensor and break rotor. All of these things were ripped and everything will need to be replaced due to emergency break system failure. If I had been going on the high way at high way speeds I could have flipped my vehicle with me and my children. This issue needs to be replaced by the manufacturer do to it being faulty emergency brake system.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate as the check engine light would illuminate. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a tune up and the vehicle began to operate normally. Despite the repair, the failure continued to reoccur, this time the contact took the vehicle to another independent mechanic where they stated that the cylinder assist had misfires. The contact was also informed that there was a recall for the air bag and that there had been a recall placed on the vehicle for her failure. The vehicle was serviced at five star Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of macon 3068 riverside dr, macon, GA 31210. Where they informed her that the only recall on the vehicle was for the air bag. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 99,457. Jo.

I pulled into parking space, foot on brake,( zero speed naturally) as I started to move shifter from drive to park, the engine roared and Jeep accelerated up over curb and ~ 20ft till I hit the corner of the la fitness building ( my destination) all the time with my foot depressed very hard on the brake. Damaging front bumper, grill , headlight and windshield on left corner (driver side). I deployed all my strength to brake during event with no effect, turned off car, and put it in park. Air bag did not deploy. 1-10-2019 at ~ 8:45am. Carrolton texas (75007 ) police report # 2019008855, officer elmore # 680 filed on 1-10-2019. I called huffines Jeep dealership to inquire if issues with sudden acceleration had been reported (officer reccomend I check before I drive to their repair shop) bob in customer service said he did not know of any issues or recalls. So I slowly drove with warning light active at ~ 20 mph to shop to start repairs (geico ins. Claim # 0529467460101044 ).

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.

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.

Please refer to NHTSA campaign number: 18v524000. This is happening to my Jeep. At times it would do a quick "chug". Other times it has stalled. After about 25 minutes, I would be able to start the Jeep. This began last November. The most recent stall was August 20, 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.

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.

2013 Jeep Wrangler had 72,000 highway miles, never towed or beat on Jeep. While driving at 70mph on highway car suddenly swerved violently to right and left multiple times, almost flipped over. Had it towed to belle tire and found right rear axel went out, affected calipers and brakes all had to be replaced. I was less than 2 months out of powertrain, called they wont reimburse since it was not repaired at Jeep dealer. The car abs/tracktion control lights went on, hardly went forward due to brakes locked up and smelled like it was burning, actual right rear rim too hot to touch, wouldn't even move in gear unless gassed it. Never had a warning, rear brakes had just been replaced two months earlier.

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.

Vehicle first started having issues moving into drive or reverse a couple of times. Vehicle then started stalling at traffic lights. Vehicle always starts back up, but sometimes does not change into drive immediately. Restarting/shifting into manual mode works. Vehicle finally started losing power intermittently while driving/accelerating causing it to jerk significantly while driving. It mostly happens at lower gears while accelerating from stop.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. While driving, the vehicle lost power. Occasionally, the vehicle would restart. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

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.

When routine maintenance was being performed at the dealer the transmission case broke around a portion of the case where one of the transmission oil pan bolted on. One of the mechanics commented that this portion of the transmission case appeared thin. The transmission case was sent back to the factory by the dealer. I believe this failure of the metal of the transmission case is dangerous due to this being a "trail rated" vehicle and being intended for exposure to off road conditions and this part failure being especially dangerous under these conditions and, of course, if it were to fail in regular driving. It is my belief that if this failure were to occur while driving the vehicle could loose power and thus loose control and under off road conditions could create a very precarious and especially dangerous condition,.

Jeep keeps shutting off while driving. Recently replaced the cpm and tipm. Issue still happening. Local dealership will not assist unless it throws a code. . .

Transmission stalled on freeway going 65 mph. Lucky to be alive. Coasted off of freeway in nick of time. This should not happen, how many others have had this death defying experience.

My Jeep engine stalled completely. I was taking off from a stop light on a 4 lane highway and it stalled with no warning. I was able to roll to a side road. I waited 5 mins and I was ablet to start it back up, replaced what I thought was the battery. 3 days later was on a busy interstate in downtown miami and it completely stalled again. In the middle of a busy 6 lane highway, I was very lucky to get through the traffic and roll into the median. I waited 5 minutes and was able to start it again. Drove directly to dealership that said it will take weeks to fix. Also have issue with lurching transmission at between 1500 to 1600 rpm. It clunks into the next gear. Also, getting electrical issues with cigarrete lighter. When using a charger in cigarrete lighter the radio does not work, it becomes just static.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle jerked without warning and stalled. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was unable to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle clipped/rubbed on a rock on the side of a public road while traveling approximately 30-35mph in a near straight line. No damage at all to wheels, tires , ball joints, control arms, or other bracketry. Axle housing cracked open and caused the vehicle to lose control as the steering system no longer can work from this break. Upon research of the Jeep Wrangler jk model axle housing failures, there appears to be many documented cases of the failure. Major automotive publications have written about the known weakness and failures of this axle housing and many aftermarket companies sell products to reinforce the axle housing. The damage to my this vehicle appears to be in the exact same place as others found online.

Purchased vehicle used in may 2015. I'm the second owner. On approximately Aug. 29, while driving and making a left turn from a stop, I heard a banging noise. The same banging noise happened about 1 week later (Sep. 3), but this time when turning right from a stop. I drove vehicle home and inspected under the vehicle to check it out. I discovered that the upper control arms on both the driver rear and passenger rear sides are completely broken into. Vehicle is still under 3 year 36/000 factory warranty and I also purchased an extended warranty. The dealer provided a "recall report" which came back clean. My vehicle has been parked since Sep 3. I am having it towed to a Chrysler dealership in a couple of days after parts come in for repair. This vehicle could have come totally apart had I been driving at a high rate of speed.

Chrysler issued safety recall n28 and no parts are available for the repairs!!!!! I have been waiting over 4 months for repairs to be done on a 2013 model Jeep Wrangler. My warranty period will be over before the vehicle is safe to drive! I have talked to Chrysler and they do not have a time frame when the parts will be available. Help help help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I received the recall n28 early this year, I call the dealer and they don't received the part at this day ("the factory don't send the part to us (dealer) for complete the recall"), 7 month and the problem isn't repaired. For all Chrysler dealers in puerto rico.

I keep receiving n28 safety recall notices, and every time I call my dealer to schedule an appointment, they inform me that Chrysler is not sending them enough parts and I am on a waiting list. It has been at least 8 months and I have still not have the service done to correct this recall.
