OPEN ENGINE BLOCK, LIFTER, SPRING, MANY SMALL PIECES

I GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND I NOTICED THAT THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES IT STARTED MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE NEXT FEW OIL CHANGES IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THAN MY OTHER MECHANIC THAT HEARD THIS TICKING NOISE SAID THAT IT WAS SERIOUS AND THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH AN ENGINE PART CALLLED A LIFTER. I NERVOUS WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT IF IT'S NOT FIXED THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A DEALER NOT KNOWING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG WRANGLERS. I DID MY RESEARCH AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILEAGE BUT MORE SO ON HOW THE ENGINE WAS BUILT. I SPOKE TO NUMBER OF DEALERSHIPS AND THEY FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL AGES AND MILEAGE WRANGLERS. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WOULD RANGE FROM $2000 AND UP. I DON'T THINK WE AS CONSUMERS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE REPAIRING AN ENGINE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES YET TIL THE DEALERSHIP OPENS UP THE ENGINE

THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) PERIODICALLY WHEN TAKING OFF. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHERS ALSO. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN FIRST GEAR. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN AT A STOPLIGHT. I PUT IT IN 1ST GEAR AND WHEN LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH IT VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. IT IS LOUD AND SHOCKING AND OBVIOUSLY THE VEHICLE STOPS MOVING FORWARD. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO ATTEMPT TO PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, BUT WHEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER TRYING TO TURN LEFT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE OF DEALERS, BUT THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. SINCE I SEE REPORTS ON THE JEEP FORUMS, IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

HORN, AND ALL CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. NOT SURE ABOUT MY AIRBAG. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE DUE TO AIRBAG RECALL BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ONLY BUT THAT IT COULD BE THE CLOCKSPRING BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS COME IN FOR THAT SAME ISSUE. I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING, TRYING TO AVOID A CAR COMING INTO MY LANE WHEN I FOUND OUT I HAD NO HORN! THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT.

ARM ROCKERS IN THE INJUN CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. GIVING THE INJUN A KNOCKING SONG.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP SHUTS OFF. IT IS HARD TO STEER AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. IT DOES NOT THROW A CODE SO THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX IT.

MY CAR IS AS 54090 MILES, DEALERSHIP CHANGED HOUSING THERMOSTAT AND REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING ADAPTOR. STATED MY CAR HAS INTERNAL ENGINE NOISE FROM WORN ROCKERS AND LIFTERS. WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. GOT A SECOND OPTION, MY CAR HAS ROCKER NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT BANK AND CAN WEAR. ALSO SOME CYLINDER HEADS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 AND 2013 MODELS SO CHRYSLER SHOULD BE TAKING THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY AND EXTENDED AND RECALLING ALL 2015 JEEPS TO DO A MAINTENANCE CHECK. I WAS TOLD UPON MY INDEPENDENT REVIEW NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR, TO GET IT HOME SAFE AND SLOW. I HAVE REPORTED THE DEALERSHIP TO THE BBB AND FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FULLY AND DID NOT DISENGAGE. THE PEDAL RETURNED TO THE DISENGAGED POSITION, BUT THE THROTTLE DID NOT. THIS HAPPENED IN BETWEEN SHIFTS OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TAPPING ON THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESOLVE THE CONDITION. I HAD TO KEEP THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED CAUSING REDLINE RPMS. THE IGNITION HAD TO BE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED BACK ON, THE THROTTLE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN THE 4 DOORS ARE REMOVED AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY WILL DRAIN OVER NIGHT TO 5.6 VOLTS, JEEP WILL NOT START. CHARGE BATTERY TO 12.6 VOLTS DOORS ARE STILL OFF BATTERY WILL DIE AGAIN. PUTTING THE DOORS BACK ON BATTERY IS GOOD WITH NO PROBLEMS. BATTERY DIES TO A NO START CONDITION ONLY WHEN DOORS ARE REMOVED. THIS IS WHILE PARKED IN A GARAGE, KEY OUT VEHICLE OFF WITH NO DOORS ATTACHED BATTERY DIES, BATTERY HAS CHECKED GOOD SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY.

AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE IN USE.

WITH THE VEHICLE GOING 45 TO 50 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD. I HAVE WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP THE STEERING AND FRONT WHEELS STATED TO VIOLENTLY SHIMMY. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE SHIMMY ACTUALLY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE SPEED DECREASED TO 5 MPH..

CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AFTER WE ARE SAFELY ABLE TO PULL OVER. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER WITH NO ANSWERS. SPENT $1,600 AND STILL HAVE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING THIS CAR.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle jerked. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, and was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a coil pack failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several different independent mechanics however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with leakage on the left cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered Technical Service Bulletin: 09-002-14; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

FIRST OWNER OF VEHICLE. ISSUES BEGAN WITH ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING/BLINKING & VEHICLE STRUGGLING TO RUN WITHIN 15K MILES. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS CYLINDER MISFIRE & REPAIRED. HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER LIFE OF OWNERSHIP- ALWAYS DIAGNOSES AS MISFIRES. AT APX 75K MILES, UPON CRANKING & DURING OPERATION, HEATER BECAME INCONSISTENT IN OPERATION & THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE. AT APX 80K MILES, UPON CRANKING & DURING OPERATION, TICKING NOISE FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN. FAINT AT FIRST & BECAME INCREASINGLY LOUDER WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS. OUT OF WARRANTY. SOLID CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO APPEAR OFF/ON, REMAINING ON FOR 24-48HRS THEN OFF 24-48HRS. AIR CONDITIONER CONDITIONER HAS ABOUT A 15 SEC DELAY BEFORE IT TURNS ON AT EVERY CRANK & POWER LIGHT FOR A/C SLOWLY BLINKS UNTIL AFTER THE DELAYED START. MECHANIC FOUND 2 ROCKER HEADS DAMAGED & THEY WERE REPLACED. LIGHT NOT ON AT REPAIR & CODE COULD NOT BE PULLED. WITHIN 2 DAYS OF REPAIR, A FAINT TICKING NOISE BECAME PRESENT ON DRIVERS SIDE. HAS BEEN A WEEK & TICKING IS NOW EXTREMELY LOUD. I AM ONE OF MANY WITH PARALLEL ISSUES & REQUEST THIS BE ADDRESSED AS MY YEAR & VIN DO NOT FALL IN TO THE APPROVED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THESE VERY SAME ISSUES. *TR

40,000 MILES ON CAR. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FROM FL TO GA. JEEP MADE 2 BANGING NOISES, AND LOST ACCELERATION. PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN DOOR WAS OPENED, JEEP WAS ON FIRE FROM UNDERNEATH . WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO, CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. *TR

WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP FROM VERY LOW SPEED, ON A PAVED CITY STREET, THE BRAKES FAILED. PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND SEEMED AS IF THE JEEP ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY, AND THE ABS WAS POSSIBLY ACTIVATING AND RELEASING? CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TRAFFIC COLLISION WITH STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A RETIRED TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR, AND WAS NOT DISTRACTED, I COULD NOT RECREATE THE SAME MALFUNCTION AFTER THE COLLISION. *TR

PURCHASED NEW JEEP SAHARA IN 2015 FROM THE DEALER. AS OF THE POSTING OF THIS COMPLAINT, THE CAR HAS ONLY 20,000 MILES. ONLY TODAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF PULSATING EFFECT ON THE STIRRING WHEEL WHENEVER TURNING CORNERS (LEFT AND RIGHT) AS IF THE STIRRING WHEEL HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE WHEELS. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $6000 TO REPLACE VARIOUS COMPONENTS TO ADDRESS THE STIRRING WHEEL ISSUE AND FURTHER DISCLOSED THAT UNDERNEATH OF THIS CAR INCLUDING THE FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BAD THAT IT WAS NOT WORTH REPAIRING AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT A PURCHASE PRICE OF $35,000 AND WITH ONLY 4.5 YEARS OF ONLY 20,000 MILES OF DRIVING, JEEP IS RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS.

THERE'S A LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING UNIT AND D IT'S CAUSING A VERY NOTICEABLE TICKING FROM MOTOR AT ALL TIMES.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS SINCE 2012- OIL PRESSURE SENSOR BECOMES FAULTY PREMATURELY CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. IN RESULT, IN THE EVENT OF THE OIL SYSTEM FAILING, THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE PART IS PLACED IN A POOR LOCATION WITH THESE VEHICLES ENGINES.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GLAD THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED VIA THE ABS SYSTEM. THE CAR LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM . I THOUGHT MAYBE THE CAR HAD JUST BROKE TRACTION EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE THAT WAS PAVED AND DRY. HOWEVER, WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE END OF MY STREET THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED AND PUT ME IN A COMPROMISING POSITION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL ACROSS AND THERE WAS A CAR COMING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I WAS T-BONED IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

TWICE, END OF MAY 2019 AND FEBRUARY OF 2020 I HAD SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES DONE AT SAME DEALER. BY THE END OF THOSE DAYS, JEEP WOULD NOT RUN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND WOULD BARELY START, NOT RUN. BOTH TIMES TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP, BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD A BROKEN VALVE SPRING AND VALVE COVER HAD LEAKED OIL INTO IGNITION SYSTEM. VALVE SPRING/COVER WORK COVERED, TUNE UP AND REDOING IGNITION SYSTEM NOT...? WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT DEALER. THIS TIME(2/2020) TOWED IN, TOOK SIX DAYS TO BE TOLD BROKEN VALVE SPRING/VALVE COVER BUT ALSO A DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO TOLD CYLINDER HEAD ON BACK ORDER, COULD BE MONTHS. VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS SCHEDULES, DON'T DO TRACTOR PULLING WITH IT, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECTIVE, JUST LIKE THE BAD RADIATORS OR HEATING SYSTEM GOOPED UP WITH SAND. THANK YOU.

RECALL WAS PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE APPROX 4 MOUNTS AGO... THE CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD AND NEEDED TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID STRIKING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY ABS BREAKS FAILED TO WORK AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS INCIDENT MY ABS LIGHT AND SLIP LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH BOARD AND REMAINED ON. I HAVE THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT ON THE 19TH OF FEBRUARY AT FIELDS JEEP IN GLENVIEW AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. WITH THAT BEING SAID I NEED TO TAKE OFF OF WORK WITHOUT PAY UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

CLOCK SPRING IS BAD AND CAUSED FAILURE OF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HORN NO LONGER WORKS. CLOCK SPRING FUSE IS GOOD. THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AT THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. HORN WORKS WHEN DEPRESSING THE PANIC BUTTON. ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR DUE TO NO AUDIBLE ALARM.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MOTION. HAD TO REPLACE CLOCKSPRING AGAIN. PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER 2016 RECALL. SINCE NO CURRENT RECALL, I HAD TO PAY FOR NEW CLOCKSPRING AND LABOR MYSELF, TOTALING $593.67.*DT

I I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE CAR WILL GO OUT OF GEAR AND LOOSES POWER. I HAVE TO STOP , TURN IT OFF AND START AGAIN FOR IT TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

AT 41,900 MILES A NOTICEABLE CLICKING/TAPPING NOISE ANYTIME THE ENGINE ON. IT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND WHEN MECHANIC HEARD IT HE THOUGHT ROCKER ARMS OR LIFTERS HAVE FAILED . HAD DIAGNOSTIC AND MECHANIC FOUND 2 ROCKER ARMS WERE BAD . THANKFULLY CAMS WITHOUT DAMAGE PER MECHANIC LIKELY DUE TO SEEKING REPAIRS SO QUICKLY

AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD MY JEEP SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I STOPPED THE JEEP TO SEE IF SOMETHING BROKE. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT JEEP BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. AFTER MONTHS OF EVERYTHING BEING FINE I NOTICED A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. TIRES WERE CHECKED AND FINE. NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHY THERE WAS VIBRATION AT SPEEDS AROUND 55 MPH. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. A YEAR LATER I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENED. I WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE NEXT TO A DIESEL TRUCK WITH CONCERT BARRIER ON BOTH SIDES.I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING CONTROL OF MY JEEP. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT JEEP HAS COME UP WITH A BAND-AID FIX. WELL AFTER TAKING MY JEEP TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON MY JEEP(MY JEEP NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND IT COST ME OVER 3,055.45 FOR THEM TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE. I DO HAVE AN INVOICE FOR THE CHARGES IT IS NOT ON ME AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOUND WAS MORE PREVALENT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AIR COOLER FILTER (ADAPTER) - LEAK. COMMON DEFECT IN ALL WRANGLER VEHICLES. DANGER TO ENGINE DAMAGE.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE VERY FREQUENT . IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY. WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP BUT CAR WONT START.

RADIATOR LEAK, WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES THE HOSES WERE REPLACED BUT STILL LEAKING WITH SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE

DEATH WOBBLE AT 45 MPH TURNING THE WHEEL

2015 JEEP WRANGLER 36,000 MILES STARTED THE DEATH WOBBLE CALLED DEALERSHIP TO HAVE OIL CHANGED THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND ONE OF THE AWAY BRACKETS WERE BUSTED. REPLACED THOSE PARTS( WE HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD) VIBRATION IN STEERING COLUMN AT ALL TIMES AND PERIODIC DEATH WOBBLE THAT WILL INCREASE ABOVE 45 MPH AND GET WORSE AT FASTER SPEED WILL STOP WHEN YOU STOP VEHICLE AND START DRIVING AGAIN

IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING WORK FROM THE AIR BAG RECALL MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I WOULD HOLD A STEADY THROTTLE AND IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED UP. IT WOULD LAST FOR A FEW TO SEVERAL SECONDS AND SLOW DOWN TO A POINT LESS THAN THE STEADY THROTTLE. WHEN I WOULD USE CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE WOULD VARY IN SPEED BY FIVE TO SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A CHANGE FROM THE WAY IT OPERATED PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I USED INJECTOR CLEANER THROUGH SEVERAL TANKS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONDITION WAS LIMITED TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT OF REVVING THE ENGINE WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF DUE TO THIS UNCONTROLLABLE REV. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRY OF ANY SUCH ISSUES FOLLOWING THE AIR BAG RECALL, BUT BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE MY QUESTION, I WAS TOLD, "NO." MAYBE, THIS ISSUE IS COINCIDENCE, BUT IT IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE SEARCHED THE NET FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE VERY PREVALENT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 68K MILES, AND ZERO INCIDENTS/PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. I BELIEVE THE STEERING WHEEL IS REMOVED WHEN THE AIRBAG ISSUE IS CORRECTED, AND FOR THIS REASON I QUESTION IF THE ISSUES ARE UNINTENTIONALLY RELATED. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED AT OUR SHOP AND WHEN OUR TECHNICIAN WAS COMPLETED WITH REPAIRS HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO BE CLEANED UP. ONCE HE STARTED BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT THE DRIVERS AIRBAG BLEW AND HIT HIM IN THE ARM AND LEFT A HUGE BRUISE.

LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON (12/13/19) I HAD A SIGNIFICANT BRAKE MALFUNCTION WHERE I BELIEVE THE ABS SYSTEM FALSELY THOUGHT A WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP AND RELEASED THE BRAKES OR MADE THEM MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE DURING A NORMAL STOP (MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT HAPPENED ' ESPECIALLY AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH). I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROX. 45 MPH AND THE LIGHT AHEAD TURNED YELLOW AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE BRAKES WERE INEFFECTIVE, AND I REALIZED I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I DECIDED TO RUN THE LIGHT AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN IN A SLOW FASHION AND APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAD THE SAME INEFFECTIVE RESPONSE. I TRIED A THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I BELIEVE THE ABS WAS BEING ENGAGED FALSELY. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM CERTAIN THAT IF I WAS ON A CROWDED MAJOR HIGHWAY AND I WAS HAD TO STOP I WOULD HAVE CRASHED ' UNNECESSARILY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE ABS TO ENGAGE. THE ABOVE INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROX. 3 HOURS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE IN THE VICINITY OF DAVENPORT. I BROUGHT THE JEEP TO POSNER JEEP WHO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND RE-INITIALIZED THE ABS AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2015 FROM ARRIGO DODGE IN TAMARAC AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND SENSORS. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE ISSUE CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATHS IF NOT DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER. IN MID-2019 I NOTICED THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS NOT OPERATING WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I TURNED THE HEAT ON, IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SEND WARM AND THEN COOL AIR OUT OF THE BLOWERS. ONE 38 DEGREE DAY, IT SENT OUT NO HEAT AT ALL. IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ANTI-FREEZE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW AND IT WAS FILLED. IN DEC 2019, THE ENTIRE RESERVE TANK WAS EMPTY. NO FLUID WAS VISIBLE IN THE RADIATOR WHEN THE RADIATOR CAP WAS REMOVED. I HAVE OBSERVED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 3-5 MILES AND THEN TURNED OFF, THERE IS A SLIGHT ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE. IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE.

OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL. APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. MANY JEEPS BUILT AFTER 2014 SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM. THE PLASTIC HOUSING IS DEFECTIVE.

MY CLOCK SPRING IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2015 JEEP WRANGLERS

OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL. APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.

DRIVING THRU INTERSECTION AT 40 MPH.WHEN IT SHIFTED IT STOPPED FORWARD MOTION.THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AS I STEPPED IN GAS,THE JEEP WOULD NOT MOVE.. I WAS STUCK IN THE PASSING LANE WITH CARS GOING. 50 MPH. ALMOST REAR ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE HAZARDS ON. THE TURNED OFF AND THE ON. IT STARTED RIGHT UP WOULDN'T MOVE THOUGH. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED FOR CODES AND IT DIDN'T I HAVE ANY. AT THIS POINT THEY DON'T KNOW.THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS. THEY WANT ME TO COME GET IT..I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT WENT FROM FINE TO GLIDING TO A STOP, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL ,THEN FINE WAS RUNNING BUT NO MOTION I HAVE NEVER HAD IT OFF ROAD. NO SAND OR GRAVEL. IF YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS MYSTERY OR IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ,I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT CAN STOP WHEN IT SHIFTS

STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. CAR STATIONARY. OUT OF NOWHERE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN AND RUNS INTO AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK THAT IS PASSING THROUGH IN INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO STOP FORWARD THRUST BY PUTTING BOTH FEET ON BRAKE, TAKING OUT OF GEAR WHICH WOULDN'T BUDGE, THEN PULLING UP ON HAND BRAKE. AFTER HITTING BACK TRAILER WHEEL OF TRUCK AND JEEP RAISING BACK END OFF GROUND FROM IMPACT ACCELERATION STOPPED AND ENGINE IDLED.SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MANUFACTURER DEFECT. ACCIDENT STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BY INSURANCE COMPANY. JEEP TOWED TO BODY SHOP.

CAR FEELS LIKE IT OVER HEATS DRIVING LONG PERIODS OF TIME & BRAKES TRACTION IS OFF WHEN I HAVE TO MAKE SUDDEN STOPS

FAULTY OIL COOLING HOUSING, OIL IS LEAKING FROM THERE

AT APPROXIMATELY 12K MILES I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND MOVED FROM THE STREET TO THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF BEFORE IT COULD REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, UPON RESTART, THERE WOULD BE A PUFF OF BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AT 20,500 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING POORLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID A FUEL INJECTOR HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO FOUND 3 BAD ENGINE ROCKER ARMS. THE ROCKER ARMS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. INCIDENTALLY, THE ISSUE WITH THE BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST DISAPPEARED. AT 28,000 MILES THE ENGINE WAS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND THIS TIME REPLACED 4 BAD ROCKER ARMS. AT LEAST 1 OF THE ROCKER ARMS WAS THE SAME ONE (#1 INTAKE) THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED DURING THE PRIOR SERVICING.

PURCHASED 6/26/19 W/ 49K MI; TAPPING NOISE DEVELOPS AT 54K; PERSONAL, HIGHLY QUALIFIED/EXPERIENCE MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO DEALER - TAP WAS ENGINE ISSUE. ON 10/14/19 DEALER REPLACED LIFTERS/CAMS/ROCKERS (WARRANTY UNTIL 10/20/19). NOT NORMAL ON VEHICLE W/ ONLY 55K. DEALER AWARE OF CYLINDER MISFIRES ON JKS BUT DID NO DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO DETERMINE WHY LIFTERS/CAMS/ROCKERS FAILED; DID NOT PERFORM INSPECTION. TEN DAYS LATER, CEL WITH PO302 (#2 MISFIRE). REPLACED PLUGS; COIL CODE DID NOT CLEAR. RETURN TO DEALER WHO STATED WORK WAS NOT RELATED TO PREVIOUS WORK THEY JUST COMPLETED AND ACKNOWLEDGED MISFIRE IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY ROUTINELY IN WRANGLERS THEY SERVICE. DEALER ALSO STATED THE 2011-2013 TSB EXTENDED WARRANTY ALSO APPLIED BEYOND THOSE MODEL YEARS TO OTHER ENGINES FROM SPECIFIC PRODUCTION RUNS BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE INFO. FILED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP CUST CARE WHO SAID SAME - NOT UNDER WARRANTY, REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER. NOT ASKING JEEP TO REPAIR ENGINE WITH EXCESSIVE MILEAGE OR WEAR - I AM ASKING JEEP TO EXTEND SAME COVERAGE AS 2011-2013 BECAUSE JEEP HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. NO ENGINE WITH 55K MILES SHOULD NEED THE EXTENT OF ENGINE WORK I'VE HAD DONE WITH LOW MILEAGE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS OF MISFIRE FOR WRANGLER AND CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED FOR PENTASTAR ENGINE DEFECTS.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. THE INTERIOR STILL HAS POWER BUT THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE STOPS. IT RESTARTS BUT ACT LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL. IT RUNS FINE AFTER IT IS CRANKED UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED THE CHRYSLER HOTLINE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.
