WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANGING FROM 50-65 MPH, IF I TAKE A TURN THAT HAS A BUMP OR AM ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND HIT A BUMP THE ENTIRE CAR STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS LEFT AND RIGHT AND IT FEEL LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE FISHTAILING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT OSCILLATION IS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN TO UNDER 45 MPH WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TALKED WITH A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SO I DO NOT RECALL WHEN IT LAST HAPPENED. THEREFORE, I AM CHOOSING TODAY'S DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE FORM. I AM ALSO UNSURE OF THE EXACT MILEAGE ON MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013. I ENTERED THE APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I REMEMBER THE DEATH WOBBLE FIRST OCCURRING.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT SEEMED TO JUST BE A SENSOR. THEN I WENT TO START IT ONE NIGHT AFTER WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START. SO I HAD TO CALL AAA AND THEY SAID MAYBE BATTERY. SO REPLACE BATTERY AND NOW AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT STRUGGLES TO START AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN.

CLOCKSPRING RECALL: OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME GENERATION WRANGLER SHOW A CLOCKSPRING RECALL, BUT MY YEAR MODEL DOESN'T. MY CLOCKSPRING HAS FAILED NOW AND I LOST MOST OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, INCLUDING MY SAFETY HORN, AND IF MY RESEARCH IS CORRECT, MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY NOW IF IN A COLLISION ACCIDENT. WHEN TURNING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON RANDOMLY, AND THEN WHEN DRIVING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS I WENT TO HONK AT ANIMALS IN THE ROAD AND THE HORN DID NOT WORK. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO AND DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK EITHER.

THE FRONT WHEELS WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGH SPEEDS (55MPH). THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND ONLY CONSIDERABLE SLOWING AND COUNTERMEASURES CAN STOP THIS HORRIFYING PROBLEM. THE CONDITION IS KNOWN AS "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE YOU CAN SEE VIDEO OF PRECISELY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY, ON BRIDGES, ON CURVES WHILE I AM GOING FAST. IT HAPPENED AT 20K THEY FIXED IT AND IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AROUND 75K. THEY KNOW THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE ONLY CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES AS DEFROST ON DRIVERS SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR. SHOP HAS DONE COLANT FLUSH 2X IN 1 YEAR PLUS CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT WHICH HAVE ALL ONLY BEEN TEMPORARY FIXES. ISSUE ALWAYS RETURNS. HEATED SEATS FAIL TO FUNCTION AS COLDER THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS AND WHEN ENGAGED DOESNT FEEL AS HOT AS THEY SHOULD. JEEP ENGINE STALLS OUT IN REVERSE, WORSE WHEN COLD OUTSIDE, WILL ALSO DIES OCCASIONALLY WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE. DEALER FAIL TO FIND THE CAUSE AS NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE EVER ON AS THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN THEIR PRESENCE AND NO CODES COME UP ALTHOUGH THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY MORNING DURING WINTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. OCCASIONALLY IF ENGINE IS STALLING UPON REVERSE IT WILL ALSO STALL IN THE STREET AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. THIS STALLING ISSUE WILL HAPPEN NO MATTER IF I WARM THE ENGINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OR NOT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE BUT IT IS MORE OFTEN IN WINTER. DON'T REMEMBER HAVING THIS ISSUE DURING SUMMER BUT I'VE ONLY OWNED IT 1 YEAR. JEEP ALSO OCCASIONALLY SHAKES TERRIBLY WHEN I HIT 60MPH. SO BADLY, I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR PULL OVER AS I FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL. MY ENTIRE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING, STEALING WHEEL BOUNCING ITS AWFUL. THIS 1ST HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. WAS TOLD THE FRONT PASSENGER CALIPER WAS FALLING OFF, THEY REPLACED THAT AND 1 WK LATER THAT SAME CALIPER WAS AGAIN HANGING ON BY JIST 1 BOLT. SHAKING IS AGAIN HAPPENING STARTING AT EXACTLY 60MPH BUT CALIPERS ARE IN TACT SO I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE REAL ISSUE EITHER. THIS $26K JEEP IS TURNING OUT TO BE A MONEY PIT. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. I KEEP READING ABOUT JEEP OWNERS ALL WITH MY SAME PROBLEMS SO WHY ARE NONE OF THESE ISSUES BEING RECALLED???

I PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE, FOOT ON BRAKE,( ZERO SPEED NATURALLY) AS I STARTED TO MOVE SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE ENGINE ROARED AND JEEP ACCELERATED UP OVER CURB AND ~ 20FT TILL I HIT THE CORNER OF THE LA FITNESS BUILDING ( MY DESTINATION) ALL THE TIME WITH MY FOOT DEPRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE. DAMAGING FRONT BUMPER, GRILL , HEADLIGHT AND WINDSHIELD ON LEFT CORNER (DRIVER SIDE). I DEPLOYED ALL MY STRENGTH TO BRAKE DURING EVENT WITH NO EFFECT, TURNED OFF CAR, AND PUT IT IN PARK. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. 1-10-2019 AT ~ 8:45AM. CARROLTON TEXAS (75007 ) POLICE REPORT # 2019008855, OFFICER ELMORE # 680 FILED ON 1-10-2019. I CALLED HUFFINES JEEP DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF ISSUES WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAD BEEN REPORTED (OFFICER RECCOMEND I CHECK BEFORE I DRIVE TO THEIR REPAIR SHOP) BOB IN CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS. SO I SLOWLY DROVE WITH WARNING LIGHT ACTIVE AT ~ 20 MPH TO SHOP TO START REPAIRS (GEICO INS. CLAIM # 0529467460101044 )

HEATER CORE ISSUE - MYSELF AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE HEATER CORE CLOGGING. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURANCE IN ANY VEHICLE. THE REPAIRS ARE INVASIVE AND COSTLY (REMOVING STEERING COLUMN, DASH, CENTER CONSOLE, OVER $1000) OR DESTRUCTIVE IF DONE THE SHORT CUT WAY (CUTTING DASH/GLOVE BOX SUPPORTS TO REMOVE THE HEATER CORE). CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PRETEND LIKE THIS ISSUE ISNT A RESULT OF SOME DESIGN FLAW. SO WE ARE FACED WITH SPENDING OVER A $1000, OR CUTTING A DASH SUPPORT OR DRIVING AROUND WITH NO HEAT OR TRADING OUR VEHICLES IN. IT TRULY BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW OR EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND YOUR WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTS TO FREEZE UP.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT UNLIMITED STARTED "STALLING" INEXPLICABLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE ALL THROTTLE CONTROL, AND YOUR POWER STEERING. WHICH CAN BE CHALLENGING WHEN YOUR IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF A FOUR LANE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH. THIS CAUSED A TRACTOR TRAILOR TO JACK KNIFE AND SLIDE DOWN THE INTERSTATE... LUCKILY, I AND THE FEW OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME SURVIVED. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I STARTED RESEARCHING MYSELF. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND IT APPEARS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 12-14 JEEPS WITH THE NEW PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT NO FCA/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY HAS FIGURED IT OUT. IF THOSE WERE THE FIRST WITH THE NEW MOTOR, IT STANDS TO REASON IF IT DOESN'T APPEAR THERE IS A FIX, THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE FROM THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO GET POWER, OR WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL. THE THROTTLE IS LOST COMPLETELY AND THE POWER STEERING AS WELL. YOU CAN TRY TO CRANK THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MINUTES. IT WILL THEN START UP AND DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. NO CODES ARE SHOWN AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO WAY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THAT WOULD BE THE BEGINNING ANYWAY. SOME SERIOUS EFFORT NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO THIS, AGAIN, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE BEING ADDRESSED, AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS THE JEEPS FROM 2012 ON GET OLDER AND GET TO THE 60K RANGE.

ESC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THAT, THE BRAKES STARTED ON THEIR OWN AND I COULDN'T STEER. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE CLOCK SPRING. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND PROBLEM TO THE 2007-2010 JEEPS, THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE 2013 IN THE RECALL AND IT WAS OVER $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX.

TWICE MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SIMPLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPPED. ALL THE LIGHTS STILL REMAINED ON. I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BY MISTAKE, BUT HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER DONEE THAT BEFORE.. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WENT ON MY WAY. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR ENGINE AGAIN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL TO SHOW THE VEHICLE HAD AN ISSUE. AND THERE WAS NO WAY THIS WAS A MISTAKE ON MY END. THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. IT WAS NOT ON A MAIN ROAD, BUT STILL ON AN ACTIVE ROAD, WHERE IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES 50 CARS MUST HAVE DRIVEN BY. IT WAS DARK OUT AND I AM LUCKY THERE WAS GOOD LIGHTING IN THE AREA. SOMEONE HELPED ME TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. ALL THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO CODES OR ERRORS THAT POPPED UP. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO RECOMMEND. BUT NOW I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR LESS I FIND MYSELF IN AN EVEN MORE PRECARIOUS SITUATION THAN BEFORE. THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE IS UNIDENTIFIABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. FURTHER BELOW THERE IS A LINK TO A WEBSITE, CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE CRANK SHAFT.

I BOUGHT THIS 2013 JEEP NOT EVEN TWO YEARS AGO AND I'VE SANK OVER 8,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR INTO IT. THEIR SHOULD BE A TON OF RECALLS ON THESE JEEPS AROUND THE SAME YEAR. I'M A MAIL CARRIER AND MY FIRST ROUTE WAS ALL PAVED ROADS. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DELIVERING THE MAIL. THESE JEEPS ARE JUNK AND JEEP WON'T TAKE INITIATIVE FOR IT. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAY ON. EVERY TIME IT'S BEEN FIXED IT'S BEEN CAM SHAFTS, ROCKER ARMS, CAM SHAFT SENSORS, STEERING SENSOR, CLOCK SPRING, AND WIRING HARNESS. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIXED THAT MANY FINES AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THESE JEEPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE BEING MADE FOR POSTAL VEHICLES. EVERY CARRIER OR PERSON I KNOW WITH ONE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. WHEN THOSE LIGHTS COME ON THE JEEP LITERALLY LOSES ALL POWER, IT STILL RUNS BUT TICKS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. THE VEHICLE DOES IT WHILE SITTING AND DRIVING. IT'S GOT A CONSTANT TICK TOO. IT'S BEEN TO SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND I GET TOLD THE SAME THING. I PAY 500 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A PIECE OF CRAP. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THEIR ARE LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THE CUSTOMERS WILL WIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS AMERICA, WE WORK OUR BUTTS OFF TO PAY FOR SOMETHING JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, ITS NOT RIGHT.

I HAVE NOTICES ON THE JEEP FORUMS SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ELECTRIC WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN. MY VEHICLE ALL 4 WINDOW ELECTRONICS DO NOT WORK AND THE DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THAT THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN READING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS AS A COMMON DEFECT HOWEVER ITS PRETTY WIDE SPREAD. THE TPIM IS THE COMPLETE FUSE SYSTEM UNDER THE HOOD WHICH MAKES NO SENSE SINCE IT IS ONLY ONE PORTION OF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THIS PART THROUGH THE DEALER RUNS ABOUT $1000 PLUS INSTALLATION. SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A PLUG AND PLAY ISSUE BUT NEVER THE LESS THE DEALER SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. READ THE FORUMS IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY CONSISTENT ISSUE NO MATTER WHAT MODEL. YET THE DEALER TELLS YOU TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF AND ALSO REMOVE THE BATTER CABLES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THEY ALREADY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT DONT YA THINK?

NO HEAT! CLOGGED HEATER CORE! GRIT AND SLIME IN DIRTY/DISCOLORED OEM COOLANT (10 YR/150K MILE RATED). NEVER TOUCHED OR ADDED TO, UNLESS UNDOCUMENTED BY DEALER. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE THAT MY WIFE/KIDS USE DAILY, AND IT IS ABOUT 10F HERE IN VT RIGHT NOW. VERY COMMON CHRYSLER ISSUE APPARENTLY AND DEALER DOES NOTHING BUT ATTEMPT TO FLUSH MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE! I AM STILL UNDER 5 YR/100K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE WHEN IS COOLING SYSTEM NOT PART OF POWER TRAIN? HEAT WAS REDUCED LAST WINTER, THIS WINTER VIRTUALLY NONE.

TODAY WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE, I COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER...AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND MY BATTERY ALMOST DYING I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION TO BATTERY AND IT FIRED UP AFTER RECONNECTING.
