My Jeep stopped in the middle of the road, would not charge and would not change gear from park. I have less than 52,000 miles.
We tried to start the Jeep at our home (street) and it would not start. But the electrical system started flickering. After some research, we decided to have the battery checked. The battery was used for 34 months of driving. Interstate battery tested it and it was low. We decided to buy a new one and installed it. Now the Jeep starts but there is a service shifter warning light and the gear shifter does not light up. We cannot put it into gear. There are numerous complaints on different Jeep forums. Some dealers cannot solve the issue, while other find that different harnesses are the problem. Our vehicle is out of warranty, and believe Jeep should initiate a recall to correct this problem for its customers.
Just bought a 2018 Wrangler jl leftover/ brand new off the lot. I immediately noticed that the steering is very loose and difficult to control. This is especially true in wind or if driving 55 miles per hour or more. My husband refuses to drive the car because he feels unsafe doing so. I get very nervous as well. I'm constantly having to adjust the wheel to stay on the road. The second issue is that sometimes when I set the cruise control it will just keep going past my designated speed I chose unless I turn it off. Lastly my car seems to not shift gears down. It throttles and revs. When I took it to be looked at I was told it's no big deal. Well it is! even my local mechanic said he feels that it's not switching properly between gears. I've waited 22 years to buy my first Wrangler and I paid $42000 for it. It should not do any of this! it's brand new. It's also a safety hazard. I could get into a major accident! I need help with these things please. Stand behind your product. This is my first Wrangler but my 4th Jeep. I also talked my mom and brother into buying new Jeeps the same week I did last month! my contact is 315-723-6849. Lisa addison wilson. I'd like call back so someone can help me. Thank you.
Gear is stuck in park. Not able to move gear from park to any other gear. Having to wait for a long period of time for transmission to cool down in order to switch gears.
