POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY RESULTING IN LACK OF POWER UPON ACCELERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SLOW DOWN WHEN APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN BEFORE I COME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LUGS, AND HAS NO POWER TO BEGIN ACCELERATING AGAIN. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS WHEN SLOWING TO AVOID TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING AT ROUND ABOUTS AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATED OUT OF THE TURN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JEEP SERVICE CENTER TWICE. THEIR RESPONSE ON THE REPAIR TICKET: "TEST DROVE AND JEEP SHIFTS AND FEELS LIKE OTHER 8/9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. AT THIS TIME NOTHING FURTHER." SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AVAILABLE. THEY DID PERFORM A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 24,158 MILES. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY SINCE THEN.VEHICLE NOW HAS 31,808 MILES.

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN MAKING A TURN. WARNING ON THE DASH SAID THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SHIFTED WHILE MOVING, BUT I HADN'T TOUCHED THE SHIFTER- IT WAS LOCKED IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE STALL IN 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME I ONLY HAD 1200 MILES ON THE CAR, THIS TIME 3400 MILES. WHEN ENGINE QUIT I LOST POWER STEERING. ENGINE RESTARTED OK.*DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY THAT THE CAR CAN'T SHIFT TO PARK WHILE IT'S MOVING AND ENGINE HAS STALL, HADN'T TOUCHED THE SHIFT LEVER. *TP

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN LEAKING BADLY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ONLY DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THEN MY DASH'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING IT TO ONLY COME ON SOMETIMES AND NOT REACT TO TOUCHSCREEN, THEN MY START STOP SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT IT WAS NOT IN PARK AND SOME TIMES PUTTING ITSELF INTO PARK UNTIL REGISTERING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVERYTIME I SLOWED DOWN MY JEEP WOULD CUT OFF. I FIGURED OUT I COULD GET IT TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL AS I'M FINDING SOMEWHERE TO COAST OFF ROAD, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN PARK TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. I MADE IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL WILL BE SOON BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE JEEP USING OIL AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTS SHUTTING DOWN TO PROTECT FURTHER DAMAGE. THEY FILLED WITH OIL AND IT RAN FINE.. THE DEALERS TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO TURN INTO MOPAR. SO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE FIRST 1000 IT USED VERY LITTLE AND THEY SAID GO AHEAD AND TRY ANOTHER 1000 AND COME BACK. I MADE IT TO ABOUT 500 MILES AND NOW MY JEEP WILL NOT START. THANKFULLY IT IS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I DIDN'T BREAK DOWN ON THE STREET AGAIN. I'M GOING TO TOP OFF THE OIL AND SEE IF THAT DOES ANYTHING. I'M AFRAID OF ANOTHER PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT MAKING ANY NOISE WHEN I TRY STARTING. ALSO, FEBRUARY 2019 I DID GET THE RECALL FIXED (POWER CONTROL MODULE) FROM THE DEALER. SO WHEN I WENT BACK FOR THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME I'D HAVE TO PAY THEM $130 FOR THEM TO EVEN TAKE A LOOK. I WAS SURPRISED TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SO I WENT TO THE DEALER IN THE NEXT COUNTY AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME! ANOTHER THING IS THE SCREEN/INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS WENT OUT A FEW TIMES. ONCE THE ORIGINAL DEALER RESET IT, BUT IT STILL GOES OUT SOMETIMES OR IT GETS STUCK ON THE DIAL/KEYPAD SCREEN. BOTTOM LINE: NOW MY 2019 JEEP IS STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR AT THE STOP SIGN SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO START IT AND DRIVE. THE BRAKES HAVE ALSO SQUEALED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON THE LOCAL STREETS AND INTERSTATE. THE BLUETOOTH TAKES 10-15 MINUTES TO ADD THE PHONE AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT CONNECT UNTIL CAR IS RESTARTED. THESE INCIDENTS STARTED TO TAKE PLACE IN MAY 2019

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH, THE STEERING BEGINS TO PULL TO THE RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY. THEN, WITHOUT WARNING, IT WILL SUDDENLY PULL TO THE LEFT, THEN RIGHT, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START TO WOBBLE AND SHIMMY AND A SENSE OF LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS FELT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE. ALSO, AT THE TIME THIS IS OCCURRING, THE ODOR OF HOT OIL PERMEATES THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR OVER AN HOUR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. ONCE, WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON THE DRIVE SHAFT FRONT CV JOINT SEIZED CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO COME OFF THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT DAMAGING THE PTU OUTPUT SHAFT. THIS VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW, HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER'S REPAIR SHOP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM (IT IS THERE NOW). IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN IN THAT SHOP 65 DAYS (SO FAR). THEY HAVE REPLACED THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT TWICE, THE FRONT CV JOINT AND STEERING GEAR SHIELD. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ONE AFFECTING THE 2018 AND 2019 JEEP WRANGLER WHERE THE STEERING ISSUES INCLUDE SHIMMYING, WOBBLING, LOOSENESS, AND LOCKING UP. THE JEEP DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND REPAIRS ATTEMPTED IS DICK HANNAH JEEP, 3517 NE AUTO MALL DRIVE, VANCOUVER, WA 98668.*DT*JB

ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING MY CAR, THE CAR HESITATES AS I TURN CORNERS, THE CAR SHAKES WHEN YOU START IT UP AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG A BUSY STREET. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN EITHER OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT, I SPOKE TO THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I PROBABLY NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I GOOGLED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I PRESENTED TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT BUT IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESOLVED. ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO CUT OFF TO PROTECT THE ENGINE IF THE OIL IS LOW. THE ENGINE IN THESE CARS ARE A 2.4 TIGER SHARK ENGINE. THE DEALER REPLACED IT WITH A 2.4 MULTI-AIR ENGINE, POWER THE DEALER THIS SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE BURNING AN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. BOTH 2.4 ENGINES ARE DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF IF THERE IS A LOW AMOUNT OF OIL. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT A CAR WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING TO PROTECT ITSELF BUT THAT DOESN'T PROTECT THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS IT ACTUALLY PUTS THEM IN HARMS WAY.*DT *AS

TWICE THIS WEEK MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY DIED WHILE DRIVING IT AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP, BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT BEFORE TRYING TO START AGAIN AND GOT IT STARTED BY PUSHING THE GAS DOWN WHILE TURNING THE KEY. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ON MY DIRT DRIVEWAY BOTH TIMES. I'D BE TERRIFIED IF THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE.
