general problems of the 2014 Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Clock spring failure at 44,000 miles, disabling the air bag. Dealer tells me no warranty past 36,000 mi. On this part failure even though it affects safety. But company will pick up price of part, if we pay labor. Know there was a recall of our 2009 for this same part in which the company paid all.

The abs, stability control and traction lights keep going off and also disabling the speed control while driving. So far Jeep has replaced the abs sensors and the stability sensor twice. The car is being driven, usually going off on dry pavement. The Jeep also had the computer system shut down the vehicle with a security alert that need a computer update a few months prior.

After being parked for three days, an loud noise was coming from the engine compartment. The only way to get the noise to stop was to disconnect the battery. The Jeep was towed in to the dealership, where it was determined that the toally integrated power module (tipm) was faulty, and caused power to be distributed to the windshield washer fluid pump until it failed. The tipm was replaced (for the third time since I've owned this Jeep) as was the pump.

I had been driving for 5 kms. And it started smoking and went up in flames. Have 11,000 kms on it. Very low for a 2014. All check ups and oil changes to date by dealership.

Went to start car from off position. Engine starts and stalls. Does this 3 times until it doesn't start anymore.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000. Jft.

The engine, stability, battery, and several other lights including will come on and the needle showing the rpm will fall to zero. The radio will also shut off. Then about 3 seconds the lights will go off , rpm needle will position itself back to were it was and the radio will come on. The problem I have described has happened several more times and each time is not the same. Sometimes the radio goes off and then come back on. Other times the lights on the dash come on and go off. The problem seems to happen randomly ( no particular time, speed, weather conditions, etc. ).

While driving on the interstate, I accidentally bumped the keys of my Jeep Wrangler unlimited with my knee, and the key turned counter-clockwise enough to turn the car off. Obviously, when the car turned off, the brakes and steering lost power. Luckily, there was no traffic around me, and I was able to carefully coast to the shoulder and re-start my car. My vehicle is manual, so I could have restarted from neutral, but based on discussion boards, automatics do not have that luxury. Doing a quick google search for "Jeep bump key" yields many discussions about this same problem. I understand that Jeep currently has a recall for this problem in commanders and grand cherokees, but there is nothing for Wranglers. I called my dealership, but they will not diagnose or replace anything for free without an active recall. I am 6' and do not sit excessively close to the steering wheel. My key chain is not large or cluttered, and it should not be that easy to turn off my Wrangler accidentally.

Easter Sunday morning drove from country home 7 miles into town to church, no stopping and slowing down just a couple of times. Parked, locked vehicle and walked into church lobby. Stopped to speak to a man when he noticed black smoke in the parking lot. Turned and saw that it was coming from under the hood of my Jeep. Within a minute flames started. Fire department was called and responded within a few minutes, but not before flames from the passenger front side jumped onto the car parked next to the Jeep. Both vehicles were burned up and totaled. Flames started on the front right side (passenger).

The check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently and the infotainment system failed to turn on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the oil sensor pressure circuit was replaced due to internal short in the oil sending unit. Additionally, the pcm software was updated, and the infotainment system was replaced. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge provided inaccurate reading and would not read that the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for fuel gauge failure. The dealer performed a pcm software update for fuel sender recalibration and replaced the fuel pump module. The contact stated the traction control warning light illuminated intermittently and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced an unknown sensor. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an electrical draw, and the battery was replaced 4 times. The vehicle was taken to the second dealer mccord's - Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (990 tennant way, longview, wa 98632), where it was diagnosed that the electrical draw was due to a failure of the instrument cluster electrical wiring or a failure of the electrical wiring underneath the dash. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Curse control disengaged while traveling 70 mph. In addition, the vehicle electrical system will reset all programs, stored information, the vehicle is difficult to start on occasions.

I started Jeep, the radio channel mysteriously changed, drove apox 1 mile, came to a stop light at a busy mountain intersection and the entire Jeep blacked out, I lost all functions, we were almost rear ended and t boned at the same time, returned the Jeep to park and restarted. I took the Jeep to dealer they said they couldn't recreate problem, I drove Jeep off the property only to have it die at the first traffic light, put into park restarted only to have it die again. Finally made it back to Jeep, they've had it for a week and they claim they still cant find the problem. I don't trust the vehicle nor do I feel safe driving this vehicle in the mountains which is where I live. Also note, the entire vehicle lost all power, so does that mean the airbags wont deploy. This is unacceptable.

Jeep completely died (lost all power, including all electrical, brake lights, panel lights, etc) in condo parking lot. Got out to start pushing it back to parking spot, and a few seconds later the door chime started and power was restored. Radio was booting up from cold start (showing garmin logo). Restarted car, it turned over and started normally. Started driving forward again, and in about 20 feet, it completely died again in the same way, and came back to life about ten seconds later. Decided it was not safe to drive, and was able to restart again and reverse to parking spot. Jeep was towed on November 3 and repaired on November 4 when the part came in. I was told that the tipm was replaced with a new version that didn't have the same type of problems.

The tpms light is always illuminated and the tire pressure is correct. I found a recall (NHTSA campaign 14v632000) (Chrysler #p63) for this issue, but was told by both Chrysler and the NHTSA that my particular vehicle is not on the recall list. It seems very coincidental that the exact year, make, and model of my vehicle shows up on the recall list, but not my vehicle which is experiencing the exact same problem that the recall was issued regarding.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would lose electrical power to the instrument panel and the cruise control would disengage. The dealer made several repairs on the vehicle which included the hvac module, cruise control button, the radio, iginigiton switch and tipm and configure module. However, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,600. Ne.

While parked the dashboard caught on fire and caused extensive damage.

I have a two month old Jeep Wrangler 2014, 4 door with 1898 miles on it and it wouldn't start. It was completely dead. We tried to jump start it and absolutely nothing happened. Towed it to the dealer and they said they were perplexed and needed to figure out what the problem was and they were not getting power to anything at all and hadn't seen anything like this. After keeping it for a day they said it was the pdc battery main power cable that was not electrically tight. The interesting thing is it still hesitates to start on occasion and it is a brand new car. This is very troubling to me as I have heard of this problem in other Chrysler vehicles and worry it could just stop working while I am driving it.

Transition & engine coolant temp immediately rose to alarm status (300 degrees) in first ever light duty 4 wd application. Off road 4wd conditions and terrain consisted of a 5% grade in low cut hay field. Alarm indicated immediate corrective action was necessary. Vehicle temperature gauges were rising from normal tolerances to alarm status in two minutes. Corrective action included cutting engine to cool. Corrective action also required blower and heater on highest settings to cool block and maintain operable driving condition temperatures. Engaging in the slightest load while 4 wheel drive train was engaged (off road) immediately replicated severe overheating condition of both tranny and block coolant. Vehicle was operable at normal operating temperatures at high speeds in two wheel drive while on pavement only. Vehicle is a 2014 Jeep sahara unlimited Wrangler with "v" 6 cyl motor automatic transmission with 2,900 miles on odometer (vehicle is brand new purchased in March 2014 - date of this report is April 2014).
