fuel supply line going to the engine leaking gas directly onto engine. I started smelling gas and upon inspection found the leak. I googled it and found numerous links with people having the same issue. Definitely poses a safety hazard.
The Fuel Supply Tube part #68141849AD cracked, causing fuel to leak into the engine bay when the car was started. The entire cabin filled with gas fumes so intensely my eyes would water.
The car just shuts off without warning while driving. We-??ve had this car for 6 months and had to put in the shop 4 times on different occasions without a resolution. This causes a major safety risk which could lead to a catastrophic accident. This has not been inspected by the manufacturer as of yet.
At around 85k miles the vehicle began developing a loud tick. It appears every vehicle with this motor or similar motor with the same internal Valve Rocker Arms have this problem. This Jeep problem is so bad that the parts are on a 2 month back order and every dealer admits they have a problem. The repair isn't cheap and entails the entire top of the motor to be exposed and virtually rebuilt. For a vehicle with only 85k miles this is a terrible situation that jeep has put their owners in. This is clearly an issue that should be rectified by the manufacturer.
The oil cooling housing. There was sludge around it and the lines from below the jeep ruptured. causing oil to leak all over the transmission bell. This caused smoking and over all engine. My dad a certified ASE mechanic has looked at it multiple times and fixed various components related to the cooling/heating system.

ABS and check engine light. I am a rural mail carrier, because my ABS light is on it causes my jeep to not accelerate pulling away from mailboxes therefore putting myself and other drivers at risk.

Jeep engineer came to dealership and could not say what was wrong with vehicle.
My vehicle suddenly stops running as I'm driving down the road. This is an reoccurring problem that happens every few days. This does not issue a code nor does the check engine light come on. There is no rhyme or reason to the issue. Electrical does not go out only the ability to push the gas pedal. I have to pull over and turn off the jeep. It comes back on and runs after waiting 10 minutes. This is a hazard and can cause a wreck. It's an common problem with Jeeps as reported on the forums.
For the past 2 years my Jeep has been stalling a lot, have taken it to 2 mechanics and 2 times to the dealer. None of them know what-€™s going on because there-€™s no light coming on, except for the first time it happened the ETC light came on but went away a few minutes later.
When driving down the road, the Jeep stops running. This is very dangerous and happens while driving at 55 mph. I-€™ve taken it to a mechanic and it will not throw a code. We-€™ve replaced the fuel pump, ignition, battery and alternator. Reading the forums and other online resources shows this is a common problem with multiple solutions. Jeep should recall any parts identified with this issue and be able to help correct this known issue. This is very unsafe. I do not have the money to spend and have no reliable transportation for employment. This has been such a hardship during such trying economic times.
Car surges at times when braking. Increased brake pressure to stop vehicle causes engine to accelerate rapidly when pressing hard to stop vehicle. Dangerous situation. This has happened numerous times when trying to stop at a traffic signal.
The oil filter housing assembly was found to be cracked during a routine oil change. The oil could leak into the transmission and eventually catch fire. A mechanic has confirmed this is the issue. It will cost approximately $800 to repair. The mechanic indicated he has seen this in the majority of Jeep Wranglers he has serviced and he doesn't understand why a recall has not been issued on this part. This part is made of plastic and can easily crack.

I just left my house and drove 2 miles at 25mph. My brakes went out then my vehicle caught fire with me and my two children inside. It is being inspected by insurance but there were no warning signs besides my brakes going out.
My Jeep started smoking smelt a badd oil burning smell and almost caught on fire when I finally got stopped looked under the hood and I could see oil floating on top of the engine everywhere and going all down the back of the transmission looks like a part or something may have a crack in it can't really tell oil is all over the under carriage all the way to the rear end has got all over the brakes had troubles and issues with its slowing down without it smelling like an oil fire and smoke pouring out of the brake assembly
Driving approx 65 mph on highway. RPM jumped then car lost power. Would not shift past neutral and unable to remove key. Auto door unlock failed. Vehicle was evacuated and then struck from behind at high speed.
I was leaving a grocery store and as I was turning onto the busy main road my Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited stalled with no warning no lights it just died it would not start at all. After 20 minutes it then started. It was very dangerous because the person behind me could have hit me if there wasn't any other traffic. This has happened before at traffic lights where it would stall out of no where but then I could turn the key and it would start. I am terrified to get on the highway afraid it will do that again and harm me or others on the road.
Brought 2013 Wrangler to dealer for constant P0304 code after replacing ignition coils and spark plugs. Dealer did a compression leak test to verify that the 4th cylinder head was bad and need replacing and will cost $3700 for the repair. I had asked about the service bulletin 09-002-14 and my vehicle is not covered under the X56 code extended warranty for the cylinder head. I called Chrysler/Jeep as recommended by the dealer, and they told me to call the dmv.
