general problems of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Intermittent starting issue very frequent . It happens at least once a day even after I installed a new battery. When I turn the key on everything lights up but car wont start.

Stability control goes out at 70+ mph over any deviation in the road surface and not just a major bump. I lose control of the Jeep completely and have to take my foot of the gas and then it will right itself. This is a threat to life and safety and for a four year vehicle should not be happening. Also, all the electrical components went out and the fuel gauge goes down and up randomly, the stability control lights come on and off which terrify me and I am shaken to the core as I don't want to lose control of the vehicle as I have for the past weeks at 3 or 4 times a week on average! the speedometer goes down to 5 mph then back up to 66mph then back down and my headlight lamps flickered on and off all at the same time. All fuses are intact and secure. Then the Jeep would start and I checked the fuses and made sure they were secure and it started again. I need help and am fearful for my life using this Jeep and have only had it a year. This should not be happening to a 4 yo vehicle. Please assist me. Thank you for your time.

Tipm failure while driving on freeway. Has happened 3 times out of the blue the vehicle loses power, the panel lights flash, and the brakes lockup. If not for the anti lockup system on the breaks I would have been hit. Vehicle panel warning lights stayed on after incident, when get in vehicle the next day everything works normal.

When abs light, traction control light, and down hill assist light comes on at the same time while driving the brakes lock up. All these lights came on and the brakes started locking up while going 50-60 mph. This is going to cause an accident and now I have to get my Jeep towed because it will not allow me to go.

I have been experiencing the "death wobble" the first time when it was only a year old with 10,000 miles. It was brief and I attributed the issue to road conditions. It happened again around 20,00 miles. It was brief and again on the same freeway attributed to road conditions. I recently experienced it again at 39,000 miles - it was so severe, and violent, shaking the entire vehicle- it was extremely difficult to control the vehicle. I made an appointment at the dealership. The diagnosis was a cracked drag link assembly, need front stabilizer shocks, and rear shocks. On top of that they said there is a crack in the radiator, believed to be from the violent shaking. It's no longer under warranty, with only 39,000 miles - 3,000 miles over and they won't do anything. I have been a long time customer at planet Jeep in flagstaff, az. This has been a horrible experience. I will never go back there and won't recommend.

Air bag warning light is on and other functions on steering wheel stopped working . Dealership mechanic says ongoing problem with Jeeps. Says drive very carfully because air bag will not deploy when light is on. Clock spring has been recalled on many Jeep Wranglers. Thank you.

Steering wheel electronics failure. Likely due to clock spring.

Waiting on a red light Jeep excerpted causing me to climb up car sitting in front of me causing that car to hit the one in front of her we started for the on coming traffic air bags never opened.

Navigation system stopped working due to a faulty head unit, 430n. The unit says 'can't unlock maps' when going to the navigation screen and then proceeds to say 'detailed maps are unavailable'. Navigation function will not work. This is a common and known issue at the dealership and on the forums, however Jeep will only replace the unit while under warranty, regardless of how new the vehicle is. I have contacted Jeep and Chrysler directly and they said because of the miles they will not honor any requests, regardless if it by manufacturer fault or not.

While driving down our Jeep Wrangler down the highway my husband stopped at a red light and said he heard something hissing then he saw flames coming from under the hood. At that point the Jeep would not steer or anything so he shut it off and my husband and son got out of the Jeep. Moments later the entire front end of the keep was engulfed in flames.

Jeep Wrangler jk unlimited sport s 35k miles. Vehicle wipers will not turn off. Issues where the wipers can be activated with the fog light control and vice versa. The fog lights can come on at random and begin to flash on and off. It is truly frustrating to not be able to turn my wipers off. I went to the dealer and they diagnosed it as both the wiper switch and headlight/fog light switch were shorting and both needed to be replaced. The estimate was $700 for repair. This is rediculous for a 3 year old vehicle and just months out of the 3 year warranty. My guess is that if replace both the switches, the issue will return and then the true cause, which I suspect to be the tipm, will need to be replaced for another $1200.

Was driving one night with 8 year old daughter sleeping in the back seat. The headlights suddenly started going off and on then off completely, then wipers started going off, then interior light and dashboard lights & locks like it was possessed then Jeep suddenly died. Thank goodness we were almost home so my husband coasted it into our driveway then we noticed what smelled of electrical fire, I looked at the hood and could see a glow. My husband put it in park as I yelled for my daughter to wake up & get out. Mine & my husbands door were unlocked but the back two doors wouldn't unlock. I jumped back in the car (the fire was on my side ) to get my panicking daughter out right as the back doors unlocked again while still going off and on, and my husband got the fire put out and battery unplugged which was by this time on fire along with the fuse box.

The navigation system that is part of the 430n radio has crashed. This started over a 3 month period where the screen would blank when you tried the navigation display. It has now crashed and only displays "cannot unlock maps". The dealership says that the head unit has crashed and needs to be replaced. Because I have over 43,000 miles on the Jeep they say it will be at my expense. This is a known issue through Jeep customer care. It has been discussed on Jeep owner forums for the past two years. I purchased the Jeep with the navigation system so that my wife could find her way when she traveled. The Jeep is on 27 months old and this is not a "moving" part that develops wear from use. Again Jeep is well aware of this issue and has not taken any steps to correct the problem. The other features all still work, radio, bluetooth. I have contacted Jeep customer care and was assigned a customer care number. Since then I have called back for the last four days and my assigned representative has not been available. This is ridiculous that the Jeep/ Chrysler corporation does not stand behind a product that is less than 3 years old.

When the vehicle is under acceleration the brakes will lock-up causing an abrupt stop. The vehicle then has no acceleration power at the brakes are being applied with no input from the driver. Basically the abs is engaging brakes without pressure applied to the brake pedal. It is likely and highly probably that this will cause a fatal or near fatal rear end collision. In traffic or when pulling into a lane of traffic it occurs without warning. ****** please address this problem. It is extremely dangerous***.

2015 Wrangler sahara engine fire I have just purchased 10 days ago a certified 2015 Wrangler sahara certified pre owned from avondale Dodge in phoenix az. It was a gorgeous hardtop grey, with 30" tires, mags and an led light bar. I had been looking for 3 months and finally found my dream Wrangler. Still with a temp plate and one tank of gas in it the engine caught fire sitting idle at my work. I had literally drove from the dealer how it happened. I had gone for lunch with CO workers and parked in covered parking at my office in phoenix. There was no foul smells and the vehicles performance was normal. I was notified by the facilities managers 2 hours later while in a meeting that fellow employees saw it smoldering through the grill and phoned the fire department. When I got outside the engine compartment was completely charred.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and stalled. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, depressed the clutch, and turned off the vehicle. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The contact stated that the failure occurred approximately ten times. The vehicle was taken to furmann Chrysler/Jeep in new port richey, florida, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 31754410. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

I own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 4 door 4x4 automatic transmission. Intermittent loss of power and traction control light comes on. . . I wrote up a report a couple of weeks ago--but I understand the issue better now. . . So, my Jeep basically conks out--often at highway speeds. . . And re-starts in about 1 second. . . At least it feels like it conks out--all of the dash lights come on as they do when I first start the Jeep. . . But the traction control light stays on--does not blink and it has remained on since then. . . Also the cruise control will not turn on. . . I have checked the fuses. . . And I have run an obdii diagnostic--the fuses are fine and the diagnostic finds nothing wrong I have read that this issue is occuring frequently on Jeep renegade and dealership says nothing is wrong. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion, on streets and on highways. . . While going straight and while turning. . .

Vehicle, in motion, on highways, and streets, shuts off. The lights go out, sometimes the radio turns off, the steering goes out, the gauges fall to zero. . . Then, the battery light comes on, and the engine begins operating as usual. It feels as though someone has turned off the key and then turned the key back on.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning numerous times while driving various speeds. The vehicle was taken to ferman Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram in port richey, florida 34652, phone: 727-847-5555 several times for diagnostic testing. The computer system, radio module, throttle body, and fuel coil packs were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle continued to stall. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

The vehicle caught fire in the engine compartment and was totally destroyed. It was parked in a parking lot and had not been driven for over 24 hours. It had approximately 2500 miles on the odometer. The vehicle had not been modified from factory condition. This vehicle is leased.

Blinkers are not working. Took it to Jeep dealer and they said it was total integrated power module and would cost $511 for the part plus labor. The Jeep is less than 2 years old and should not have this type problem. Need a recall.

I was on a road trip traveling 70 mph on i90 with cruise control set when cruise control disengaged 3 times on its own then approximately 100 miles later the power outlet in dash caught fire (behind dash) and spread to the heater/ac control panel. I ended trailering my Jeep home. It is drivable but I took it to dealer to check it out (they called Chrysler (they're sending out their own investigators)). My Jeep just turned a year old and less than 4000 miles.

I turned the key to start my vehicle and nothing happened, no lights on the dash, no 'ding', nothing. Dealership mechanics and technicians worked for two days to diagnose the problem and finally discovered that it was a faulty tipm.

2015 Jeep Wrangler only had 10,000 miles caught on fire and burned total loss just pulled into driveway at residence.

About 30 minutes after midnight on a Thursday morning I was awoke by the sound of my dog barking and my sister walking into my room telling me there was a large glow in the driveway. After walking outside, we found my brand new 2015 Wrangler on fire with very large flames erupting from the hood. We quickly woke the rest of my family and rushed frantically to put it out. An hour later, after nearby neighbors arrived to help, and emergency services arrived to put out the fire (local fire department and police) the vehicle fire was doused and the Jeep was hauled off my property to a local towing yard. The fire seemed to have started around the battery area, but the source has yet to be determined. The fire claimed the entire engine compartment, most of the drivers dash board and drivers interior, and the entire front left tire/trim.

I bought the Jeep April 4, 2015. On July 19, 2015 I parked my car in the driveway and 3 hours later at 5:30 my dog work me up and I look outside and the whole front end of the Jeep was in flames. We were able to get the fire out but it was a total loss.

Driving on a four lane highway around 2pm. I had been driving for a solid hour on the same highway when my Jeep suddenly accelerated. The gas pedal proceeded to the floor even while I tapped and pressed pumping my brakes. I recall an initial odd feeling underfoot prior to the climbing acceleration. I felt the pedal pull away directly after I felt a vibration underfoot. I was not using cruise control nor was it engaged . The engine was cycling loudly and the rpm gauge was climbing in the red, I had no car mat in place because I spilled a protein shake a week earlier and it still smelled. I still checked visually to see if something somehow was obstructing the pedal. I had my hands on the top of the wheel per usual comfort spots. I was like, wait. . . What the hell is happening?? I had to press as hard as I could on the brakes while pulling the emergency brake up slowly to bring the open throttled car to a stop. I noticed just before turning off the car a red lightning bolt appeared on the dashboard. My new car was 4 weeks new to our family. I am an experienced driver who owned Jeeps before in 1989. The gas pedal was so tightly pressed into the floor I could not get the tip of my shoe under to pull it up. I was taken for a death ride for 10 minutes. The car smelled like burning motor! if there was traffic this day I cannot think of the repercussions .
