1 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 03/03/2021

I was leaving a grocery store and as I was turning onto the busy main road my Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited stalled with no warning no lights it just died it would not start at all. After 20 minutes it then started. It was very dangerous because the person behind me could have hit me if there wasn't any other traffic. This has happened before at traffic lights where it would stall out of no where but then I could turn the key and it would start. I am terrified to get on the highway afraid it will do that again and harm me or others on the road.

13 Car Stall problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/22/2018

Vehicle stalled in highway, stop and go traffic for no reason and was extremely hard to restart. A few days later, the radio and backup camera went out and came back an hour or so later. The radio, which controls all electronics and backup camera, went out again. Dealer replaced some sort of interface for the infotainment system (radio) on 07/30/18. Then vehicle stalled again in highway, stop and go traffic on 08/03/2018 and was difficult to restart. Then, on 08/09/2018, a battery charge warning came on and they replaced the alternator. What is even more troubling, is these very problems are all over the internet. All work has been covered under warrantee but I have wasted the better part of two full days driving to/from the dealer or waiting in the waiting room. I have filed a complaint with fca (Jeep). It appears as though the electrical system Jeep engineers have designed for these Wrangler rubicon jls is flawed to say the least.

19 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/12/2017

At approximately 60k miles my 2013 Jeep Wrangler sport unlimited started "stalling" inexplicably. When this happens you lose all throttle control, and your power steering. Which can be challenging when your in the left hand lane of a four lane interstate going 65mph. This caused a tractor trailor to jack knife and slide down the interstate. . . Luckily, I and the few others on the road at the time survived. After taking my vehicle in for the fifth time for the same problem I started researching myself. I was shocked to find it appears to be an epidemic problem with the 12-14 Jeeps with the new pentastar engines. It also appears that no fca/Jeep dealership in the country has figured it out. If those were the first with the new motor, it stands to reason if it doesn't appear there is a fix, that it will continue. And I can tell you from personal experience, people are going to die from this safety issue. This typically happens when down shifting to get power, or when shifting into gear after backing out of a parking stall. The throttle is lost completely and the power steering as well. You can try to crank the vehicle, but it will not start until after about five to ten minutes. It will then start up and drive like nothing happened. No codes are shown and dealerships have no way to identify the problem unless they can replicate it. That would be the beginning anyway. Some serious effort needs to be put into this, again, it doesn't appear to be being addressed, and it will only get worse as the Jeeps from 2012 on get older and get to the 60k range.

24 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/18/2016

Since the spring of 2016, my Jeep Wrangler rubicon has been stalling after ignition, as I put the vehicle in reverse (it is an automatic transmission) and occasionally while idling at stop lights. This problem has occured 20-25 times over the last 7 months. The dealership has reflashed the control modules, but the problem persist. The vehicle isn't safe to drive because of the tendency to stall at stop lights. What caught my attention was the first time it did it and I had my 5 years old son in the car. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they are further investigating the problem. They have been able to replicate the issue (stalling in reverse, and while idling). The vehicle starts right away, but occasionally power isn't available immediately (2-3 seconds delay). Jeep wasn't aware of similar problems when I called. . . And this morning I learned about other fca vehicles been recalled because they are stalling in traffic.

Two weeks ago I when to the dealer to detail clean my Jeep, I park at the entrance of the shop, when they where going to take my Jeep in for cleaning, it will not start, they had to push the Jeep into the shop, after checking it for a wild, they told me that it burn a fuse, they replace it and everything was find. Last week when I came out of my job, the Jeep will not start again, I just replace the fuse and it was all fine. This morning am at wawa getting coffee and when I came out , the Jeep will not start, had to get a toll truck to take it to my mechanic. He check it and told me there something cutting off the power and blowing the fuse every time he try to start it. He told to check with the dealer to see if there was a recall or problem with this, I call and by my VIN number they said there was no recall, a recall on the switch and for cutting off the power was issued for newer models but not for 2007. I will like to know if there been other similar complain about this, now I remember that sometimes my Jeep will be loosing like power or stalling when I was driving, I keep my Jeep clean and in very good conditions , up to date in maintenance, but this worrying me. I have a friend with a 2008 Jeep, and he told me he had the same problem with his.

28 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/28/2016

Got vehicle back from dealership after 5 different stallings and 3 times it did not start this is 3rd time at dealership. No code came up, tech drove 20 mins and they had no problem, said come pick up your vehicle. Got vehicle back on Thursday, drove Friday 240 miles with one stop in the middle with no issues. Drove back home 240 miles 2 days later, 3 hours and 45 mins into 4 hour drive, it stalled out with no warning. On single lane secluded road outside miami. Krome Ave- no passing 2 lane road. Car stalled out with no warning. Was able to drift to side of road, waited 5 mins and it started back up. After it had stalled out and was on side of the road, it showed the lightning bolt in the venturi symbol. I escaped death and injury again. I have decided to get an insurance death policy on me. I think my luck is going to be running out after this being the 6th time stalling and 3rd time not starting. What do I do now?????? I have put a lot of money in this Jeep, with bumpers a lift kit. . . . I have no idea what to do. Chrysler is not helping. They have had other Chrysler vehicles including Jeep cherokees that were recalled with this same problem but yet they cant fix my vehicle. I guess there were more rich people driving the other vehicles.

29 Car Stall problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 01/26/2016

About a month ago I was in the middle of a 4 hour drive I do on a weekly basis and 2 hours into the drive my vehicle stalled as I was slowing for a yellow light. There was no warning at all and it took me a second to realize it had stalled. I was able to roll out of the traffic lane onto a side road. The police showed up and helped me push it off to the side of the road. At that point I tried to start it, approximately 10mins after stalling and it started right up. I went straight to autozone and had a new battery installed, $250. 00 and got going on my way home - fat, dumb and happy - until 2 days later when it did it again. The second time it stalled I was on a busy 12 lane interstate 95 in downtown miami. Again I did not know it had stalled, I was increasing speed from about 50mph to 60mph and pushed the gas pedal and nothing happened. I was in the middle of 6 lanes and immediately put my hazards on and rolled through traffic onto the side of the interstate. I waited 5 mins and it started right up and I went straight to the Chrysler dealer in kendall, FL. They gave me a rental vehicle - thank god. About 3 weeks later they changed out the pcm and gave it back to me - fixed (supposedly). 2 weeks later it stalled in traffic on a 4 lane hwy; waited 5 mins and it started fine, was later at the store got in the vehicle and it would not start just kept trying to crank itself, waited 5 mins later and it started. That weekend took it to Chrysler in tampa (jerry ulm) they said it is not in my warranty and I paid $400. 00 for what I was told was a Chrysler "work around". 2 days later it would not start and it tried to crank itself. I turned the key off and waited 5 mins and it started right up and I went directly to kendal Chrysler, where it is sitting today as I write this.

35 Car Stall problem of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/08/2015

2012 Jeep Wrangler sport 3. 6l vehicle does not start at random. Vehicle has stalled at highway speeds. All electrical will turn on but Jeep will not crank over or make any attempt to start. Wipers turn on, on their own. Battery, and starter have both been checked. Evidence leads to faulty tipm sensor but because the Chrysler dealership can not duplicate the error after 5 tries they said they can not replace the tipm. Dealership states they can not just throw parts at it to fix the issue even with hundreds to thousands of other Chrysler products having the same issue.
