Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2011-2018 Jeep Wrangler right hand drive vehicles. The driver's seat belt buckle mounting strap may fracture and separate from the seat frame.
A separated or severed seat belt buckle strap will result in an inoperable seat belt, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's seat belt buckle, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 19, 2019.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V018000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Air bag light is on intermittently. Running checks throughout my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the issue resides in a faulty clockspring. After doing research it appears Chrysler/Jeep issued a recall for RHD Jeep Wranglers on faulty clockspring due to dust contamination. Looking over several Wrangler forums, the issue doesn't reside in just the RHD Jeep Wranglers, but also LHD Jeep Wranglers as well. The part is interchangeable for RHD and LHD Jeep Wranglers. I would assume more LHD Jeep Wranglers are manufactured as to the reason the recall wasn't pushed to LHD Jeep Wranglers to keep costs down.

THE HORN IS NOT WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE IT WAS PARKED.

APOLOGIES IF THIS COMPLAINT IS A REPEAT, BUT I KEEP GETTING A SUBMISSION ERROR NOTICE WHENEVER I TRY TO SUBMIT THIS FORM. THE JEEP 4.0 LITER SIX CYLINDER ENGINE HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE ROCKER ARM BEARINGS THAT CAUSES A LOUD TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND FAILURE OF THE EXHAUST AND INTAKE CAMSHAFTS. THIS HAPPENED TO OUR 2015 JEEP IN JANUARY 2020 WHEN IT HAD ONLY 31,000 MILES BUT WAS ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. CHRYSLER DID FIX IT AT THAT TIME AS A COURTESY SUBJECT TO A $100 FEE, AND A COPY OF THE INVOICE FOR THAT REPAIR IS PROVIDED. UNFORTUNATELY, A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER, AND WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES HAVING BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. THE DEALER IS NOW CLAIMING THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE REMAINING ROCKERS THAT WERE NOT REPLACED, AS IT IS CHRYSLER'S POLICY TO ONLY REPLACE THE ROCKER ARMS AND CAMSHAFTS THAT ARE DAMAGED AT THAT TIME. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY "SEE THIS ALL THE TIME" AND THAT THEY TRY TO GET ALL THE ROCKER ARMS REPLACED WHEN DOING ANY REPAIRS, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT ALLOW THEM TO DO SO. OF COURSE, CHRYSLER IS NOW REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A FULL RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED ENGINES AND PAY FOR ALL REQUIRED REPAIRS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, YET CHRYSLER STILL REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

NOTICED SIGNIFICANT KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE THAT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER. TOOK TO DEALER FOR A NICE 2 THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX. DEALER REPLACED RIGHT SIDE LIFTERS, ROCKER ARMS, AND BOTH CAM SHAFTS. THIS SOUNDS WAY TOO MUCH LIKE THE 2011-2013 ISSUE THAT JEEP "FIXED" AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THOSE IT SOUNDS LIKE. VERY COINCIDENTAL AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES BASED ON JEEP FORUMS

STARTED OUT WITH OIL IN THE AIR FILTER, HAD THE PVC VALVE AND CAM SHAFT REPLACED. STILL GOT OIL SO AN OIL CATCH CAN WAS INSTALLED, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (AIR FLOW FILTER). THIS WAS CAUSING MY ENGINE TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 70 MPH. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR, BUT AGAIN, WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 70, AND ON AN INCLINE WOULD DROP DOWN TO 60 AND COULD GO NO FASTER (NO ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME). NEXT DAY GOT IT UP TO 78, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND AGAIN COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 75.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP WRANGLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A ODOR OF BURNING OIL PRESENT AND SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC OIL COOLER HAD CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK. THE LOCAL DEALER JACKY JONES DODGE LOCATED AT 2840 US-129, CLEVELAND, GA 30528 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL COOLER PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING DEVELOPED A LEAK. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY CRACKED. REPLACEMENT PART IS ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER, AT LEAST 45 DAYS. LEAK IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR 4 WEEKS.

OIL COOLER LEAK. I LOST OVER 2 QUARTS OF OIL AFTER A SHORT DRIVE. THE SEALS WERE ALSO LEAKING INTO THE INJECTORS CAUSING MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE CODES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNINGS. NO WARNINGS FROM THE OIL COOLER EXCEPT THE LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE WRANGLER AND OIL COATING THE ENTIRE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND SKID PLATE.

JEEP 2014 AND OLDER ARE ISSUED A PART CALLED THE OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING WHICH IS PRONE TO LEAKING OIL ON ALL CHRYSLER ENGINEERS USING THIS PART. THIS IS DEFECTIVE AND OR A DESIGN FLAW RESULTING IN REPLACEMENT AND COSTLY REPAIR AND IS A REOCCURRING FAILURE ON ALL CHRYSLERS USING THIS PART. THIS FAILED ON MY JEEP WRANGLER WITH 48K MILES. THE PART IS APPROXIMATELY $300 TO REPLACE AND OVER ALL REPAIR AT A NON DEALERSHIP IS UPWARDS OF $1000.00. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!

OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY HAS STARTED LEAKING BADLY AFTER 60,000 MILES AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS ASSEMBLY IS TOO FRAGILE AND REQUIRES TAKING OFF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO ACCESS AND REPLACE, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE A PLASTIC PART. IT CONTAINS THE OIL FILTER WHICH CAUSES IT TO HAVE TORQUE APPLIED EVERY OIL CHANGE AND CAUSES IT TO BREAK PREMATURELY. THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WERE 25,000 OF THESE ASSEMBLIES ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE AND HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN IT WOULD BE IN STOCK. MY JEEP IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE UNTIL THE BACKLOG IS WORKED THROUGH WHICH MAY TAKE MONTHS. IF THIS WAS A RARE PROBLEM I COULD GET THE PART AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS PROBLEM HAS RENDERED MY VEHICLE UNUSABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS ON MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THERE IS NO REASON THIS COULDN'T HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ENGINEERED WITH A METAL PART.

I WAS DRIVING MY KEEP AND STARTED SMELLING OIL AND HAD SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I NOTICE ON MY GARAGE FLOOR LARGE OIL LEAK. I PICKED UP MY DISABLED SON AND NOTICED IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS FORCED TO STOP BY MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY OIL COOLER ADAPTOR HOUSING WAS BROKEN AND LEAKING BADLY. I HAD PURCHASED A MOPAR PROTECTION PLAN DIRECTLY FROM COMPANY. WHEN I CALLED JEEP DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT AND LET THEM DIAGNOSE IT BEFORE THEY COULD DECIDE IF IT WAS COVERED BY MY MOPAR CARE PLAN. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP ENGINE BUT THEY HAD NOT DONE RECALL YET. I CALL MOPAR AND THEY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZED PAYMENT TO MY MECHANIC UNLESS HE CALL FOR AUTHORIZATION NUMBER. HE CALLED AND THEY SAID NO. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY A RECALL IF IT'S THAT BAD. I WAS READING COMPLAINTS ON ANOTHER SITE AND THEY SAID IT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE STARTING BECAUSE OF OIL LEAKING ONTO EXHAUST.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSES PROPULSION; THE RPMS GO TO ZERO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL AND ACCELERATION IS REGAINED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE IS GIVEN. THIS OCCURRED RANDOMLY FOR THE LAST YEAR. IN JUNE OF 2020 I TOOK IT TO JEEP DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT NO CODE WAS GIVEN. THEN IN DECEMBER OF 2020 THE ISSUE BECAME WORSE TO WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND NOT REGAIN POWER UNLESS RESTARTED. ON ONE OCCASION IT WOULD NOT RESTART, LEAVING ME STRANDED. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ALSO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE SYMPTOMS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE RELATED TO A FUEL PUMP RELAY, BUT THAT PART IS NOT REPLACEABLE ON MY JEEP. THEY SAID THAT OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT NOT MY YEAR MODEL JEEP. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PERSIST RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS TWICE WITHIN AN HOUR, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT'S ALWAYS IN MOTION. ON JANUARY 16TH I VIDEO RECORDED THE INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THE ENTIRE THING ON VIDEO THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU. IN THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED AT 2500 RPMS. THEN THE RPMS FLASH QUICKLY TO 3500 RPMS AND THEN INSTANTLY DROP TO ZERO, AS THOUGH THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. ALTHOUGH I STILL HAVE ELECTRICAL, AS MY RADIO AND BLINKERS ARE WORKING, THE JEEP VERY QUICKLY LOSES POWER STEERING. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY MY JEEP WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AND STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE JEEP, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I WOULD TURN THE KEY JUST ONCE AND LET GO, BUT THE JEEP WOULD CONTINUE TRYING TO START OVER AND OVER FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE STOPPING. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE JEEP UNTIL WAITING FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN IT STARTED UP AND OPERATED NORMALLY.

I GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND I NOTICED THAT THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES IT STARTED MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE NEXT FEW OIL CHANGES IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THAN MY OTHER MECHANIC THAT HEARD THIS TICKING NOISE SAID THAT IT WAS SERIOUS AND THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH AN ENGINE PART CALLLED A LIFTER. I NERVOUS WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT IF IT'S NOT FIXED THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A DEALER NOT KNOWING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG WRANGLERS. I DID MY RESEARCH AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILEAGE BUT MORE SO ON HOW THE ENGINE WAS BUILT. I SPOKE TO NUMBER OF DEALERSHIPS AND THEY FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL AGES AND MILEAGE WRANGLERS. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WOULD RANGE FROM $2000 AND UP. I DON'T THINK WE AS CONSUMERS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE REPAIRING AN ENGINE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES YET TIL THE DEALERSHIP OPENS UP THE ENGINE

HORN, AND ALL CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. NOT SURE ABOUT MY AIRBAG. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE DUE TO AIRBAG RECALL BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ONLY BUT THAT IT COULD BE THE CLOCKSPRING BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS COME IN FOR THAT SAME ISSUE. I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING, TRYING TO AVOID A CAR COMING INTO MY LANE WHEN I FOUND OUT I HAD NO HORN! THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT.

THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) PERIODICALLY WHEN TAKING OFF. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHERS ALSO. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN FIRST GEAR. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN AT A STOPLIGHT. I PUT IT IN 1ST GEAR AND WHEN LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH IT VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. IT IS LOUD AND SHOCKING AND OBVIOUSLY THE VEHICLE STOPS MOVING FORWARD. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO ATTEMPT TO PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, BUT WHEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER TRYING TO TURN LEFT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE OF DEALERS, BUT THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. SINCE I SEE REPORTS ON THE JEEP FORUMS, IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
