ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE JEEP HAS 42,000 MILES, AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 39,000 MILES. IT HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 MPH AND 65 MPH, ON MODERATELY BUMPY ROADS, HOWEVER, NOT BUMPY ENOUGH TO BE DESCRIBED AS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL. TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 39,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME ROADS UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE RADIATOR COOLING LINE RUBBED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER, AND THE RUBBING CAUSED A HOLE WHICH EVACUATED THE A/C FLUID. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND DISTANCE THE RADIATOR LINE SO THAT IT WAS NO LONGER TOUCHING THE CONDENSER. THE JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. THE JOB COSTS OVER $700 AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP.

STEERING
VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHILE DRIVING - MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" BY LARGE NUMBER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MULTIPLE VIDEOS EXIST ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE STABILIZER BUT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND RECOMMENDS AN ADDITIONAL PART AS WELL STAR CASE #S1602000001. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE UPON LEAVING A STORE, (JUST BEGAN TO RAIN HARD), THE LIGHTS, WIPERS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND ALL FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND LEFT AND RIGHT STALK STOPPED WORKING. I ASSUME THE AIRBAG IS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONAL. NO CODES WERE REGISTERED IN THE VEHICLE FOR MALFUNCTION EITHER. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND IT IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING. POSSIBLY THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR 2007-2012, BUT 2013+ VEHICLES WERE EXCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART USED IN THE LATER MODEL VEHICLES. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!

SEATS
DRIVERS SEAT DOES NOT REMAIN IN POSITION. UPON ENTERING OR EXITING VEHICLE THE OUTSIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION PUSHES DOWN ON THE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE LOWERING SEATS POSITION. THE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE CAN ONLY BE MOUNTED IN 120 DEGREE INCREMENTS SO FORGET TRUING TO CHANGE POSITION OF THE HANDLE AS IT'S TO FAR OUT OF USABLE POSITION THAT WAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AFTER DIFFERENT DRIVING TIMES. THIS TIME I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 5 MINS AND ABOUT 300 YRDS WHEN IT STALLED. IT HAS NOT STARTED 2 TIMES PRIOR WHEN LEAVING WORK. AFTER 10MINS THE VEHICLE STARTED AND I DROVE IT ANOTHER 515 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY DO AFTER THE 5TH TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL ME ONE DAY. IT HAS ALREADY STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. I AM IN A FEW JEEP CLUBS AND ALL JEEP WRANGLERS, 2007-PRESENT HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT HOLDING. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CARE AS WE DRIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ITS REALLY NOT NEEDED. MY JEEP HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 4 TIMES WITH THEM UNABLE TO FIX IT. IT IS A BAD DESIGN THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE

ENGINE
WHEN CHANGING THE OIL . WHEN YOU REMOVE THE OIL FILTER THERE IS A PLASTIC PART ON THE SHAFT IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. THIS IS A VALVE THAT CONTROLS THE OIL IF THE FILTER GETS GUMMED UP THE PRESSER CAUSES THIS VALVE TO OPEN SO THAT THE OIL WILL STILL FLOW IF THE FILTER IS CLOGGED. THIS PLASTIC VALVE BREAKS DURING NORMAL OIL CHANGES. TO FIX THIS 10 CENT PART YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW OIL COOLER UNIT AT THE COST OF $237.00 ALSO TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT YOUR LOOKING AT $800 PLUS FOR A 10 CENT PART. JEEP CHANGED THE OIL COOLING FILTER UNIT IN THE 2014 MODELS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS NOT ONLY IN THE JEEP JK V6 BUT ALSO IN DODGE CHARGERS AND ANY V6 MODELS THAT USE THIS SAME FILTER OIL COOLER UNIT. PART # 05184294AE NUMBER ON IMAGE: 1 CATEGORY: 3.6L GAS; ENGINE MSRP$237.00 PRICE MAY VARY BY DEALER ADAPTER ENGINE OIL FILTER SEEMS LIKE A RIPOFF THAT YOU CAN NOT BUY A 10 CENT PART BUT HAVE TO BUY A $237 UNIT THAT IS NOT NEEDED

JEEP HAS BEEN STALLING FOR 7 MONTHS. BEEN IN SHOP 9 TIMES. JEEP STALLS GOING AT DIFFERENT SPENDS, WHILE STOPPED, MOVING AT IDLE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. JEEP WILL NOT START UNLESS TERMINAL ON BATTERY REMOVED OR SITS FOR AWHILE. TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE OCCASIONALLY IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AFTER STALLING. LAST PROGRAM DOWNLOAD APPEARS TO BE A FAULT WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE). PTM AND TPM CHANGED OUT DUE TO DIFFERENT READINGS IN DOWNLOADS. MECHANIC BELIEVES NOW, THAT THE TIPM IS FAULTY. JEEP HAS STALLED UP TO 5 & 6 TIMES ON SOME DAYS.

WITH ONLY 58,306 MILES ON MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, THE CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED AND AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL NOT DEPLOY. IN ADDITION, THIS POSES ABANDONMENT CONCERNS AS MANY USERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS FIND THEIR VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP TODAY (NORTHWEST JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE) AND WAS DISMAYED AT AN ALMOST $700 REPAIR BILL TO REGAIN AIRBAG PROTECTION, EVEN THOUGH FCA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PART NUMBER, BUT ONLY IN 2007 RHD VEHICLES. THIS IS THE SAME PART!
