Wrangler

'06 Jeep Wrangler looses power, bucks, shakes as of 20,000mi. Gas gage sometimes does not read correctly, ac goes warm at neutral, smelled burning, could not shift past 1st. Has had to be towed to dealer. Stalls and shakes intermittingly during moving and stopped positions. Has a rough idle, which at times is more severe than others, but has never died - just shook severely a few times. It intermittingly acts as if it is going to loose all power. This can occur several times in one day, 1 time during the day or not at all for 1 or several days in a row. There is no set pattern. It occurs during cold and hot weather, with electrical devices on or off, in neutral or drive, if the engine has warmed up or is still cold. Have taken it to dealer several times. Dealer tells me something is wrong but they are unsure of what. They have tried several times to replace or fix parts with no success. Chrysler's star mechanics are now working on it. This vehicle is not safe. Dies at all speeds, times and road conditions.

Wrangler 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 1,771 miles
: the contact stated that on 06/01/06 the vehicle's dash lights went out, while traveling 30 mph on a clear night. The contact inspected the fuse immediately and took the vehicle to the dealership to be inspected. The dealership determined that the whole instrument cluster was defective and needed to be replaced however the replacement parts would need to be ordered. On 06/21/06, the vehicle was taken to the dealership for the replacement however the replacement instrument cluster had not been ordered. The dealer alerted the contact that the manufacturer was conducting more tests on the instrument clusters because there were several vehicles of the same model with the same problem.
