Anti-theft Controller Problems of Jeep Wrangler

Bought my Jeep 2018 Wrangler brand new, had issued with the steering become very hard to turn was barely turning on a corner street. Literally impossible to make a right turn,all of a sudden it just became easy to turn as if nothing was wrong. Also a service shifter light and the stability controll light comes on every now and then, now the issue is the screen is displaying an anti theft screen asking for a theft code and Jeep will not turn on.

Tipm- door locks shorted out, fuel pump quits stranding the vehicle on the street, will not restart without pulling and resetting the iod fuse, causes airbag light to flash fault, rear wiper quits. This makes the vehicle unsafe or unable to be used. Vehicle was bought new and wouldn't think much about this if through research I had not found how many failures experienced by many have been related to this parts failure rate. Parked the vehicle and when went to restart it it would not resart, then the doors started locking and unlocking repeatedly locking me out of the vehicle with the keys in it. I reset the iod fuse and it started. Then going down the highway the warning lights in the dash started flashing, airbag, tcs, anti theft, tire pressure, abs, stability control all came on then vehicle shut off. It would start then run for a few seconds and die. Through research I found this to be related to the anti theft in the tipm-. Tried replacing the door lock fuse and it started arcing and smoking. Vehicle is parked now with a tipm- on order. As stated previously, I bought this Jeep new and if it was not such a widespread issue with Chrysler products I woul not think much about a part failure at ten years.

Jeep Wrangler, 2008, 6 spd, anti-theft sentry key not recognized by Jeep. . . Engine will not turn or start, lightning bolt icon on dash light lit. Has happened several times over the last few days. . . Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't.

I parked my vehicle briefly and turned off the ignition. When I returned to the vehicle within 2 minutes, the vehicle failed to start. The remote lock/unlock would no longer work. All the lights and radio were functioning. The security light was on (red light above the temperature gauge). I then locked the vehicle using the power lock toggle and shut the door to secure it while waiting for he tow truck. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer valet used the key to open the lock and when he tried to start the vehicle, he set off the security alarm. The battery was disconnected to silence the alarm, and the vehicle was successfully started after the battery was reconnected. Dealer was unable to find a problem. The error codes reported to Jeep were: b1a09 - rke fob 2 performance u0168 - lost communication with vehicle security control module (skreem/wcm) odometer reading at failure - 744 km.

When the key was turned, warning lights on the dash would come on, but nothing else would work. I remembered reading a thread on www. Jeepforum. Com about someone having a similar problem with a 2007 Wrangler, so I ran home to read what happened with his Jeep. . Read more...
