general problems of the 2019 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Alternator stopped working no warning no lights nothing just stopped.

I drove over a rough patch/bump in the road. A ton of warning messages and failure lights activated on the dash. In addition to the check engine light, there were warnings for electronic stability protection, sway bar disconnect, abs failure, power steering failure, shift lever malfunction. In addition to these malfunctions a failures, the windshield wipers turned on un-commanded and the radiator fan went into the highest possible speed, the digital engine temperature gauge failed, and both the digital and analog speedometers failed. This happened on a arterial road, losing power steering and braking at ~30mph unexpectedly was a shock, but manageable. At highway speeds it likely would have led to an accident or collision. Unfortunately, I don't have any documentation of the failure lights and systems failing, but it had happened several times prior to this occurrence, albeit only with dash warning lights, no actual system failures. After the system failures, I stopped driving the vehicle. The problem appears to be somewhat widespread and is caused by a failing can-c bus. A quick google search will reveal numerous descriptions on the same dangerous issue. This thread seems to clearly expiain the root of the issue with the can-c bus: [xxx] I replaced my old can-c bus (p/n 68321746aa) with a new part and it appears to have resolved the issue. I have saved the old can-c bus for inspection if NHTSA is interested. It looks exactly like the failed bus in the linked reddit thread above.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated unintendedly and failed to exceed 40 mph. Additionally, the vehicle lost power steering functionality and became difficult to steer. The contact stated that the vehicle later operated as needed; however, the failure recurred several times while driving. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.

I have had the recall completed but now my car to give a “service transmission “ message and that there is a problem with my clutch getting hot. There is no burning smells. Are no issues such as rough gear changes or engine issues. It states the clutch is overheating and I’ve barely left the driveway. And this is after sitting still overnight didn’t the recall fix this issue? it’s terrifying as it comes up stating that the transmission needs to be service then all information as to what gear you are in disappears while you are driving. This isn’t a recall fix it’s a nightmare. It wasn’t having a problem before but now it warning messages act like it’s going to burn up. There is no burning smells no rough gear changes. Afraid to drive it.

My 2019 Jeep Wrangler sahara with 2. 0 liter turbo engine has had two failed “rear axle assemblies or differentials” within 3 years of each other. The first time was in July 2022, and my service repair order says rear diff replacement. Now this time, my dealer is saying we need the whole rear axle assembly which is on national back order. No current eta for delivery, with no additional info other than none are even in production at this time. Since my vehicle is under warranty for another 4,000 miles or so, I would like to use stellantis warranty for my repair. However, they are no help and are saying we cannot order a different oe part, or a used part. The vehicle is unsafe to drive as I can feel my loss of control especially on wet roads in florida. After searching the internet I have found this is a common problem with the sport, and sahara versions from 2018-2025. Now that we can’t even get replacement parts, it creates a whole other set of problems. I would like to mention everything is factory on my Jeep and I have never been off roading. Not even once. So 2 failed rear axles is just unacceptable.

Like everyone elses Jeep while driving, all the warning signals, bells, whistles start going off. Lose power steering, lose power, put Jeep in park, cannot get it to go back in drive. Soemtimes will not start just look it up on tictok.

Lost communication on abs, traction control , 4wd service, vehicle put itself in auto park, steering wheel locked up and wasn't able to turn the steering wheel, dashboard lights flickering, try turning on vehicle but wasn't responding until a 3 minutes later , check engine light is still on but doesn't have any store messages on dashboard, I have a video of it.

Driving on interstate 35 south in fifth gear. There was a loud bang! and then we lost power. Barely made it off a tight overpass and we saw the smoke. The car was quickly on fires we got out as it started to engulf the Jeep with flames. It was a total and complete loss - and very dangerous.

I have a 2019 Jeep Wrangler jlu, which currently has a recall out because the clutch pressure plates are apparently bad. I realized today that the symptoms of that recall are exactly what I have been experiencing for several months now. I went to the local Jeep dealer (wallace Jeep in stuart, FL) and they said there was nothing they could do because Jeep has not put out parts to remedy the recall yet (even though it's been about a year). They confirmed that clutches have been a problem and it is a serious issue, but I would have to continue to drive it until Jeep put out parts. This is extremely unsafe and the fact that they know how unsafe it is and are still telling customers to drive it until they get the parts figured out is ridiculous.

It started about 4 months ago and continues to get worse and more frequent but it starts shaking and wobbling violently at high speeds especially if you hit a bump it’s almost impossible to keep it in the road. It’s very scary and dangerous. After googling I heard about the death wobble which Chrysler has recalled some of the same models as mine. Any information or help you could give us would be appreciated. It also just started overheating when sitting idle probably not related but don’t understand why mine is having so many problems it’s not old enough.

A safety recall of the clutch assembly was put out in February of 2023. No dealerships in a 50mile radius of my location had the parts available to perform the necessary corrective repair and vehicle update at that time. I was told I would be notified of parts availability. It is already 2024 and 11 months later and my vehicle is still at risk of catching on fire and there is still no available parts for performing the repair.

I bought this 2019 Jeep Wrangler and it is still under manufacturer warranty on the transmission and the steering damper . The transmission in my car was leaking bad and I took it to the Jeep dealership and they did not know what was wrong or how to fix it . They are all incompetent and stupid and unprofessional and know nothing about cars also the recall on the steering damper was done 2 years ago and now I had to replace it because the car was dangerously shaking very bad . The transmission is still under manufacturer warranty and I took it to another shop and he fixed the leak in the transmission and he said it’s it’s the cooler line connector in the transmission so this repair that cost me 478 dollars should be refunded to me from Jeep manufacturer since it’s still under warranty.

My 2019 Jeep Wrangler steering wheel starts to vibrate then shake and then the car shakes while I am driving on the highway. It happened 4 times in the last week. One time last week , 2 times last night and once tonight while driving on the highway.

Nhtsa recall number 23v-116 was created in March, 2023, and still the manufacturer offers no remedy. How long do they get to remedy the recall issue, and if they don't by that date what recourse does an owner have? thank you!.

I got letter from mopar back in February 2023 stating there could be a problem with my Jeep. At the time there was not problem. A week and a half ago around Aug. 23, 2023 my Jeep started smelling hot while driving and there is a rattle between 3rd and 4th gear. My Jeep is a manual transmission. . Read more...

First time it happened I was stopped and the vehicle complete shut off. I had to shift to park and restart. Second time, coming to a stop the vehicle abruptly shut completely off and directed me to shift it to park and restart. Same thing had happened a third time and now I have parked the vehicle until my service appointment.

Have been experiencing extreme shaking and vibration so called “death wobble. ” in 2023 I took it to the dealership to look into the issue to which they changed the steering stabilizer. Even though that helped for a few years however it did not resolve the problem. It was still occurring just not to the same degree. Currently I have tried to reach out to the dealership to look into the problem and the dealership refuses as the car or the part is not covered under warranty. However not enough time or mileage has passed for the car to not be under warranty. The dealership and the fca refuse to help. This issue is very serious! it common with these models of Jeep Wranglers and are life threatening.

There's some issue with the clutch, after shifting to the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear when you release the clutch accelerate the car makes a horrible sound really loud metal scratching sound. And sometimes while driving, the car automatically accelerates for 3-4 seconds. And now auto start/stop symbol with the exclamation mark shows up and the screen stops showing what gear the car is in. It's been happening since April this year.

Service axle locker system warning comes on center cluster of dash & dings. Goes away then picture of axel light with explanation mark. Then goes away. Comes off & on while driving stop to go & in low speeds. No 4x4 being used at the time. Dealer replaced sensor in front axel. But came right back on after leaving. Codes show not active because warning lights go away & don’t stay on. Was told they have to stay on.

New recall has come out for the Jeep 2019 manual transmission. This is the third recall and there is still no fix. Recently my clutch blew on the highway, first it started to smoke and then the clutch exploded. Going speed of approx 70mph with a child in the car. This is well know issue without a fix and I do not want to drive this vehicle any longer. Jeep will not fix the clutch, I have to pay $3600 for it and "if" or "when" the fix happens, then I can get reimbursed. The clutch could go again at any time not safe. And Jeep does not care.

Clutch failed for the 3rd time, there is another open recall for the clutch that states the pressure plate can fracture and damage the clutch. In 4 years the vehicle has had 3 clutches replaced, 2 of the 3 I was made to pay for and Jeep is refusing to reimburse. While driving 70 on a highway, there was a burning smell that started, when pulling over, there was a loud bang and the vehicle began to shake. Pulled over, had son in car, we both got out because of the smell of smoke and fear the vehicle was on fire. Previous recalls updated software to give a warning when the clutch was hot. There where no warning lights that went off as stated for a hot clutch. The clutch pressure plate had fractured and pieces were projected out of the clutch and blew a hole in the transmission. The damage required a new clutch assembly and a new transmission. Jeep refused to pay for the damaged clutch, it was $3600, but replaced the transmission. There have now been 7 recalls in 4 years. There have been 3 new clutches in the vehicle, each time the Jeep was in for repairs for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. Sometimes parts took over a week to be delivered. Dealerships never have courtesy vehicles and I have had to make due myself each time, over a month once. It has cost me over $7000 and there is no fix in site, estimated for early to mid 2024.

Vehicle has a recall notice but no remedy yet available. My clutch often gets close to over heating as I feel it start to slip in normal traffic conditions in heavy traffic. I often encounter very heavy traffic and must let the vehicles clutch cool down on the side of the road. Jeep dealerships tell me nothing they can do but replace factory clutch at owners expense. This is not fair, this SUV only has 35,000 miles and cost a fortune monthly. I do not have the funds to replace the clutch myself and do not have a second vehicle to wait for the company to come up with a 'remedy'.

About 2-2. 5 months ago, our 2019 Jeep Wrangler completely stalled out at a stop light. At the time it stalled, the dash started flashing and gave me many warning lights. I was unable to put the transmission in park in order to try to start the vehicle again. After many attempts, I was finally able to place in park and start the vehicle. I then went thru a drive thru and it did the same thing and left me stranded in the drive thru lane without being able to start it for about 10 minutes. The next day, I was on my way to work and while traveling on the highway at 75 miles per hour, the vehicle stalled out, the dash wigged out and I lost all control of the vehicle including steering. The engine revved up to a higher rpm and I was unable to put it in neutral to try to slow it down and control the vehicle to a safe stop on the side of the highway. There were a couple of close calls with other vehicles due to the inability to control the steering or the engine speed. The next day, I took the Jeep to the dealership and when scanned for codes, there was over 150 codes including losing communication with the body control module. Dealership test drove and the tech had the vehicle replicate the issues and leave him stranded 7 times in one day from and back to the shop. At this time, my concern is the safety of my family. For now it appears that the issue has been resolved, but there have been many similar instances reported with the same danger of crashing. Paperwork obtained from my dealership reflects there was a module that was replaced when the vehicle had less than 8,000 miles that was supposed to fix this issue, however it occurred to our Jeep that had less than 25,000 miles on it. The paperwork also states "!!attention!! this vehicle may have had 7 visits, 69 days down and 8 repeat repairs, service personnel should notify dealership service management and engage fca service and parts resources. " doesn't this fall under the lemon law?.
