general problems of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler - part 2

The contact stated the vehicle was exhibiting a pulling sensation and jerking. The vehicle did not display any warning lights. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership who diagnosed that the calibers failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware and confirmed the repair was not covered under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 31,069.

The front brake calibers ( both ) right and left have completely frozen and locked up under normal operation, twice, since the vehicle was bought new. It created direct emergent highway conditions as the vehicle became uncontrollable and created extremely high heat conditions to the rims/brake pads and bearings. Totaling over 2 thousand dollars in repairs.

The car brakes failed Thursday may 5, 2021 while I was in the open road. The car did not have any prior warning sign indicating there was an issue with the brakes until after the fact, which with the help of the emergency brake I was able to park on the side of the road and have a towing company pick it up. My car has been at the Dodge, Jeep Wrangler dealership since. I contacted the dealer that sold me the car “echopark at grand prairie” in texas, the dealer was aware that the brake pads were well below 50% of useful life when they sold me that car that was ultimately the thing that caused my brakes to fail and they’ve refused to pay for the damages occurred, or compensate me in any sort of way. I believe my life and my friends life(a pregnant woman) who was my passenger was put at risk because the dealership failed to check on an item that needed to be check before the car was sold to me. I’ve keep calling the dealership where the car was purchased and they only paying for the broken caliper through a extended warranty and refused to pay for the additional damaged ive incurred due to their negligence.

Both front calipers froze at 48,663 miles causing excessive smoke and brake damage. Only symptom was shaking of steering wheel during normal use. Stopped immediately. Vehicle towed, cost to repair $1200. 00.

Dtcs for left and right rear wheel sensors. Wiring was open on sensors and caused the speed sensors to not read properly at times 3. 00. The sensors were replaced at mac haik. 3 other Jeeps had the same issue the same day. Abs and traction control lights on dash came on before the sensors were replaced and applying gas did nothing. My Jeep was automatically applying my breaks even when I went 5 mph.

We took our car to rairdon's Dodge Chrysler Jeep of kirkland for oil change and checking the brake on February 12th because the rare brake had been making some noises and might need a replacement soon. The estimate for the services that we requested plus the additional services that they claimed to be critical was over $2,000. We did not question the amount because safety first and we trusted them to do a good job. We picked up the car on February 15th and paid $2,863. 68. We drove home and did not use it until a week later. While driving on a highway, the brake was very loose and there was a huge sound when driving over a speed bump. We checked the car and noticed that a part came off and hanging from the base of the car. We had our car towed back to the shop on March 7th and the staffed confirmed that the caliper had fell off. The service director said they did not touch the caliper when they performed the initial service. Therefore, she was not sure what happened to the car. This is a serious safety issue because we could have get into a car accident or hit other people in the street.

Anti lock braking system and traction control activate at low speeds - at 5-10 mph. It applies the brakes without warning and cuts power to the engine.

My rear calipers are frozen. My car has 41,000 miles on it now and at 21,427 miles my rear calipers were frozen I paid and got them replaced and now again there frozen something doesn’t make sense.

2017 Jeep Wrangler sport jku all stock, normal road tires from the dealership, rear and front driver side break caliper is sticking and causing break drag at 32,000. Due to this causing the rear break pads to prematurely wear bi-lateral and damaging the rotor on the affected side, causing the vehicle to operate at higher rpms as the breaks are dragging. Due to the heat the caliper boot was damaged as well. Excessive dust on rim and burning break smell with excessive friction heat along with the vehicle pulls to affected side when you let go of the wheel at residential speeds. The heat causes a dangerous break lag and the break pedal is harder to depress as what I believe is fluid not making it back to the master cylinder. When the vehicle is in drive you let your foot off the break on level ground the vehicle dose not move as it should when the transmission is in drive at idle, no gas given, the breaks squeak and jump grip as the Jeep tries to move when gas is given, the break is stuck on the rotor. Rear breaks where replaced bilaterally cleaned with new calipers, high temp silicone grease , rotors and ceramic pads is hopes to fix the problem. After that is when the front driver caliper was noticeably showing the same signs as the rear did. To have a non dealership mechanic do the job is 970. 00. Vehicle drives as if the emergency break is on but was inspected and is not touching the inner drum. Vehicle is not heavily uses ether 1. )no lights or check break lights luminated its all feel. No accidents due to the break lag but is very dangerous if you need to stop suddenly. 2. )issue confirmed by a independent service center mechanic 3. ) at 15,000 miles vehicle was taken back to the dealership for a break groaning sound and squeak when backing up or when driving, dealer stated it was just dust on the pads, inspection found no issues. After the visit the sound would still periodically kept reoccurring but was kept being told "dust" not sure if that was a early sign.

2017 Jeep Wrangler unlimited with 44,000 rear brake calipers sticking and burning smell. Had brake pads and calipers replaced on all 4 wheels. At approx 60k miles, rear brakes were sticking and smoking. Right brakes wearing unevenly compared to the left side, both front and rear. Caliper seals are leaking. Replaced 4 brake hoses, calipers and pads again. At 70k miles rear brakes locked up and caused a fire on the rear passenger wheel which created unsafe driving conditions with 2 small children on board. I had to stop on the side of a 2 lane road with small shoulder, quickly evacuate the children onto the shoulder of the road and extinguish the fire using an on-board suppression device. We then had to wait for towing assistance on the side of the road for 90 minutes. Brakes, hoses, calipers replaced all around. Again.

Driving highway speed of 63 mph abs and traction control lights illuminated Jeep lost speed immediately. Felt like the brakes were stuck smelled a terrible burning smell.

When the heat was turned on a burning smell was detected. Vehicle was taking to the dealer for an oil change and an analyze for the burning odor, this vehicle is at 52000 miles. Result: major leak to the oil filter housing and the front drive shaft is also leaking grease. This vehicle is not being using for off-roading or 4wd dealer stated that the oil filter housing was fixed and the vehicle can be driven while waiting on the other parts. I continue to detect the burning odor. The vehicle continues to leak oil. On further inspection the coolant and the radiator is empty. Dealer mechanic stated that the radiator is leaking and this is a common issue. I am not the only customer that is having this issue; when inquired about a recall, I was told that currently the manufacture does not have one in place. I was told that the manufacture is aware of the issue but will not acknowledge it and once the vehicle reaches 50,000 miles and out of warranty, it is now the customer problem.

My car was brought to the dealer for the same repair 3 times in the last three months. It was never corrected properly. Check engine light dashboard was on (while in motion and stationary on roads and highways)because there was a engine caliber misfire. Brakes were squeaking after being replaced. Brought my car back to the dealer on Friday, November 27, demanding this repair be done properly. Name of the dealership is empire Jeep Dodge located on sunrise highway in west islip new york. My vehicle is still at the dealership - being worked on. Per the conversation with their associate today, my car should be ready by today 12/1 or tomorrow 12/2. The dealership is aware that when I brought my car in on Friday, November 27 that I need to have the inspection done by November 30. Please let me know if you need further details.

Anti lock braking system and traction control activate at low speeds - at 5-10 mph. It applies the brakes without warning.

With only 17300 miles the abs and traction control lights of my car turned on, on my dashboard.

The vehicle's traction control light alarmed and automatically applied brakes heavily resulting in a near miss rear end collision. The vehicle hindered the gas pedal and I was forced to a stop on the middle of a heavily travel roadway. The vehicle is still under factory warranty. I called Chrysler and made an appointment. After 4 days, I was told nothing is wrong with my vehicle.

After backing up my Jeep and placing it in drive I noticed my stability control light came on and my Jeep stops.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 50 mph, the abs and traction control icons illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle started to lose speed. The brake pedal was depressed and traveled all the way to the floorboard. The contact continued driving to their destination. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing; however, an appointment was scheduled with troncalli Chrysler Jeep (818a atlanta rd, cumming, GA 30040). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.

The pin holding the brake peddle to the firewall came loose after a eclip on one end of pin fell out. This happed while I was pulling into a parking spot.

While driving at highway speeds the traction control system, anti-skid braking system, and or the combined operation of these systems for stability control, engaged intermittently and unevenly causing the vehicle to pull to one side or the other. This has occurred approximately five times under three different drivers all at normal highway speed and under dry road conditions. When this happened, there was an audible noise (like a vibration sound) of the brakes being automatically applied and a pulsing in the brake pull. The system has engaged itself while the gas pedal was being applied at highway speed on dry pavement. Immediately upon the system's application I moved my gas pedal foot to the brake where as I applied the brakes I could feel the pulsing in the pedal. This situation is an extreme safety hazard. When it occurs it both startles the driver and causes the vehicle to swerve to one side or the other. The system is definitely applying uneven braking to the wheels to cause the swerving. We have disengaged the traction control system in order to drive the Jeep in a safe manner. However, it requires the driver to disengage every time you start the vehicle. At present each dealer has been nonresponsive in taking action to correct this vehicle problem, the vehicle is still under warranty. Each time they say that their diagnostic system is not indicating any problems.

While in drive and my foot on the brake in traffic on the highway, my vehicle began creeping forward. I pressed firmly on the break and there was no change in movement. The vehicle kept rolling forward. I put it in park and no change. I turned off the vehicle and turned it back on. The vehicle then stopped, almost hitting the car in front.

Ac compressor failure and bad transmission. Leaking antifreeze.

I purchased this pre owned vehicle and it has been a safety issue. It has abruptly stopped in the middle of an intersection and highway 4 times since purchase date. It is a life threatening, hazardous vehicle and I'm terrified for my safety.

Attempted to schedule safety recall repaired at osmoor Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram in louisville ky in July. They scheduled an appointment for September 7th. When arriving for the appointment, was notified that the part required was not available. Attemted to schedule the recall the second time, and was told that the next approintment was October 15th. Could not get the dealership I purchased the vehicle from to repair a safety recall item from July through October.

On 04/28/2018 I went off roading to my favorite trail. The Jeep was stationary untilthe car startd to slowly move while it was on park. In an attempt to breaks and steer away from the water the truck steering and break wasn't responding to either direction. Took police enforcement a while to respond and as they arrive the tide took the vehicle and submerged all the way to the floor board.

While stopped at a traffic light foot was on brake, and the car accelerated forward and rpms went up while foot was on brake car went into another car. Only stopped when placed in neutral.
