ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UPON STARTING THIS VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PREPARATION TO GO TO WORK, THE WIPERS CAME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, OR SLOW DOWN.THIS IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP- I AM A MAIL CARRIER AND I HAVE TO HAVE THIS TO WORK SIX DAYS A WEEK. A WEEK LATER THE FRONT POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE REAR WINDOWS WOULD WORK. LATER IN THE DAY THEY SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN.I NOW HAVE TO RAISE THE HOOD AND PULL THE FUSE TO STOP THE WIPERS. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I HAVE A FAULTY TIPM AND WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE - $1019. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THIS PART TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WOULD GUESS THE DELAY IS DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT TIPMS BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO USE THE DEFECTIVE ONES IN MANUFACTURE. THIS JEEP IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, AND I SEE THAT EARLIER YEARS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR FAULTY TIPMS AND EVEN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OLDER MODELS THAN MINE.. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM JEEP KNOWS ABOUT AND HAS EXPERIENCED FOR MANY YEARS WITHOUT CORRECTING IT.THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE CONTINUED TO KNOWINGLY INSTALL FAULTY TIPMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NOT MAKE OWNERS PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY WHEN THEY MANUFACTURED IT.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON AND WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF ON A LEFT HAND TURN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ON THE 20013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I BELONG TO A JEEP CLUB AND SEVERAL MEMBERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON NOW, ALL THE TIME.

MY JEEP ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY. I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO A SIDE ROAD. I WAITED 5 MINS AND I WAS ABLET TO START IT BACK UP, REPLACED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BATTERY. 3 DAYS LATER WAS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED AGAIN. IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 6 LANE HIGHWAY, I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THROUGH THE TRAFFIC AND ROLL INTO THE MEDIAN. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN. DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WILL TAKE WEEKS TO FIX. ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH LURCHING TRANSMISSION AT BETWEEN 1500 TO 1600 RPM. IT CLUNKS INTO THE NEXT GEAR. ALSO, GETTING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH CIGARRETE LIGHTER. WHEN USING A CHARGER IN CIGARRETE LIGHTER THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK, IT BECOMES JUST STATIC.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE JEEP WOULD LOSE POWER DRIVING ON THE ROAD, THE IGNITION LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN IN 4 OR 5 SECOND IT WOULD REGAIN POWER, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM IN CRAWFORDSVILLE,INDIANA . THEY SAID THAT THEY FIXED IT AND FOR ABOUT A YEAR I HAD NO PROBLEM'S. IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND I HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A RAMP GOING FROM ONE INTERSTATE TO ANOTHER WITH A SEMI RIDING MY REAR BUMPER AND IF THE POWER HAD NOT COME BACK ON QUICKLY I WOULD PROPABLY NOT BE HERE TODAY TO REPORT THIS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE CLIPPED/RUBBED ON A ROCK ON THE SIDE OF A PUBLIC ROAD WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH IN A NEAR STRAIGHT LINE. NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO WHEELS, TIRES , BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, OR OTHER BRACKETRY. AXLE HOUSING CRACKED OPEN AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AS THE STEERING SYSTEM NO LONGER CAN WORK FROM THIS BREAK. UPON RESEARCH OF THE JEEP WRANGLER JK MODEL AXLE HOUSING FAILURES, THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE FAILURE. MAJOR AUTOMOTIVE PUBLICATIONS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THE KNOWN WEAKNESS AND FAILURES OF THIS AXLE HOUSING AND MANY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES SELL PRODUCTS TO REINFORCE THE AXLE HOUSING. THE DAMAGE TO MY THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE AS OTHERS FOUND ONLINE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. IT FELT LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED IN AND THE JEEP BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE BREAK HOWEVER THE SPEED WAS INCREASING. I PRESSED DOWN HARDER ON THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED SOME BUT AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BREAK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. A RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PRESS THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR AND PULL THE PARKING BREAK. THE REAR TIRES WERE STILL SPINNING SO I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE JEEP IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I'M SUPPOSE TO PICK IT UP HOWEVER I'M AFRAID TO BEGIN DRIVING THE JEEP AGAIN.
