VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. DID THIS 4 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT GOING. GOT DOWN THE ROAD, AND WHEN I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, ENGINE QUIT AGAIN. ALSO JEEP WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, JEEP WENT INTO DRIVE. FROM THERE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPPED THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, NO WARNINGS NO NOTHING. *TR

IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE JEEP WOULD COMPLETELY TURN OFF AT RED LIGHTS OR AFTER COMPLETE STOPS. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON FRIDAY 11/14/14 I WAS GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY LOST SPEED AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF/STALLED, I LOST STEERING POWER. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. THE JEEP DID NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL 45 MINUTES LATER AS I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I WAS AGAIN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS IS NOT DETECTING ANY MALFUNCTION, REALLY??? *TR
Power train, Service brakes, Engine, Nov 5, 2014
THE HILL START ASSIST MALFUNCTIONS CONSTANTLY, THIS CAN STALL THE ENGINE WHEN STARTING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE WARE ON THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH. THERE ARE 2 SWITCHES THAT TELL THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED. ONE WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH AND ANOTHER THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN ALL THE WAY. THE HILL START ASSIST IS PROGRAMMED TO USE THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN YOU FIRST START TO PRESS IN THE CLUTCH INSTEAD OF THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY PRESSED. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO STAY LOCKED UP EVEN AFTER THE CLUTCH IS FULLY ENGAGED WHEN STARTING ON A HILL. THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKES AS SOON AS YOU START TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH PETAL BEFORE THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGES. THE HILL START ASSIST SHOULD USE THE SAME SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED WHICH IS THE SAME SWITCH THAT IS USED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING IN GEAR AND NOT THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHEN THE PEDAL IS LIGHTLY PRESSED WHICH IS THE SWITCH THAT TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

THE AFFECTED PARTS IN MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS THE TRANSMISSION (MILEAGE 27,200). THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR (I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING OR IF I AM ON FLAT AND HILLY ROADS. I WILL HAVE TO PUNCH THE GAS AND ACCELERATE TO 60-65 MPH BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFTS. IT SCARES ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ONLY DRIVING 30-40 MPH. THE RPM'S WILL BE UP TO 5000 AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT GEARS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED FOR THE PROBLEM (APRIL 3, 2014) THE MECHANIC DID HAVE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THEY FOUND A VACUUM HOSE DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR-INLET ELBOW. ONCE THEY FIXED THAT IT SEEMED LIKE THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED BRIEFLY(3 WEEKS) THEN RIGHT BACK TO GEARS NOT SHIFTING. I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 OTHER TIMES NOW AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OF COURSE!!! I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD DO NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MECHANIC SAYING HE CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAD JUST LEFT A LOCAL BUSINESS MID-DAY ON A WARM DRY SUMMER DAY. WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY AND TRAVELING SLOWLY AT APPROX 20 MPH. APPLIED BRAKE AS WE ROLLED UP TO A STOP SIGN. ENGINE STARTED TO INCREASE RPM ON ITS OWN REQUIRING EVERMORE INCREASING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO COME TO A STOP. STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGINE RPM REACHED 2500. I PUT THE GEAR SELECT INTO NEUTRAL. THE BRAKES GRABBED, THE ENGINE RPM SHOT UP AND RETURNED TO STANDARD IDLE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CAR BEHAVED NORMAL AFTER THAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX 6 TIMES OVER PAST YEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. FLOOR MATS SECURE AND LOCKED DOWN. I DRIVE RIGHT FOOT ONLY AND BRAKE CLEANLY AND SQUARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEED, WHEN ENGINE IS WARM, AND EVEN SQUEALED THE TIRES ( BURNED RUBBER ) ONCE. MUST SLAM INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. *TR

MY DEALER LUCAS CHRYSLER AND JEEP, 1624 NEW JERSEY 38, LUMBERTON, NJ 08048, TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER ISSUES ONE PART FOR THIS RECALL EVERY 2 WEEKS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE A LIST OF OVER 25 CUSTOMERS WHO NEED TO HAVE THIS RECALL PERFORMED. AT THAT RATE IT WOULD TAKE ME CLOSE TO A YEAR TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION CORRECTED.

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES ABOUT THE N28 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE RECALL AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK AT THE DEALER GETTING MY RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. EACH TIME I GO IN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE STATUS AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THE DEALER ONLY GETS 2 KITS IN EACH MONTH. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM IN LINE FOR THE REPAIR BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE I AM IN LINE OR HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THE REPAIR IS EVEN POSSIBLE. *TR

TRIED TO START THE JEEP AND DASH READS HOTOIL, CHECK TPM SYSTEM, SWAY BAR LIGHT AND CHECK/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ENGINE WILL NOT START/ EVEN CRANK OVER.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N28/NHTSA 13V-234 FOR THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN OCT. 2013. 5 MONTHS LATER I'M STILL BEING TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT I'M ON A WAITING LIST TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NHTSA'S DEFINITION OF REMEDYING THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME IS, HOWEVER, 5 MONTHS DEFINITELY SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME FOR A RECALL THAT STATES "THE LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". *TR

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A VERY LONG LIST OF CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR A PART TO ARRIVE.

THIS PERTAINS TO NHTSA 13V-234. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS BY CHRYSLER IN AUGUST/2013. FINALLY IN NOVEMBER, I WAS ALLOWED TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY CONFIRMED PARTS MUST BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE ORDERED. NOW I AM INFORMED BY THE DEALER AND A PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER, THAT THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW THEIR DEALERS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS ONCE EVERY 14 DAYS. I AM FURTHER INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE DEALER'S LIST SO WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO ORDER 2 REPLACEMENT PARTS PER MONTH, IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE MY JEEP IS REPAIRED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE LOOMING. CAN THIS SAFETY RECALL REALLY BE TREATED THIS WAY BY CHRYSLER? IS THERE SOMETHING NHTSA CAN DO? *TR

RE: SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER STEERING FLUID TUBE WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (BILLY BENDER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH WITHOUT NOTICE THAT THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN TO CHECK ON PARTS. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WAS CURRENTLY 9TH ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER JEEP WAS ONLY SENDING THE DEALER ONE (1) SET OF PARTS PER MONTH SO IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLES' SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO GO 2 MONTHS WITHOUT REPAIR LET ALONE FOR CHRYSLER TO ONLY SUPPLY ONLY ONE PART PER MONTH TO DEALERS WHICH WILL ADD 9 ADDITIONAL MONTHS (SINCE I'M 9TH ON THE WAITING LIST) TO GET A SAFETY RECALL FIXED!!!! *TR
