When driving approximately 45 mph and above the entire car starts to violently shake. I don't know what part causes this problem. I've heard it could be : steering damper, ball joints, tie rods, track bar, front suspension damper cause this. IDK. Until I can afford to take it to a service shop and get it checked and repaired, it sits parked because I'm afraid to drive it. This started about a month ago. Jeep (Stellantis) should be recalling and repairing ALL Wranglers with this problem not just newer models. My car has LOW miles but somehow got excluded from the lawsuit settlement apparently which is going by model years. This is a safety issue.
Horn, evic & radio controls on the steering wheel don't work. After waiting 2 months tfor the part, they replaced the evic switch which I was promised controlled the horn & radio too. It didn't fix the horn or any of the other issues. Now the dealer wants to replace the clock spring. There is an existing recall for my model year and years before and after (Safety Recall S40 / NHTSA 16V-288 Airbag Clockspring) but my VIN is not included. Jeep can not explain why I'm not included and said my airbag may or may not work. Any help is appreciated.
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.
It the oil cooler...its made of plastic I have only had my jeep for 6 months and am about to have this part replaced for the third time..AND IT NOT COVERED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY..800.00 EACH TIME..IM CERTAIN IM NOT THE ONLY ONE..YOU GUYS NEED TO FIX THIS..I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP CHANGING THIS AND RENTING CARS AND SUCH...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PART ASAP. I will send a copy of my bill tomorrow
While driving the vehicle, the heat cuts out and the defroster fails. This fogs up the window quickly causing an unsafe situation. Have had heating system flushed, controls and thermostat replaced, but problem continues to occur.
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.
Caught fire for no known reason- while I was driving - came to stop and smoke passed me up - wind coming from behind me -stopped - saw smoke coming out of left side of hood -totally burned- thankfully I was able to get out without harm - yet I am left with no vehicle
The heat stopped working, even after a 45 minute commute, no heat. This created difficulties in seeing out the windshield on cold mornings. The dealer did a flush of the system but the heat was only temporarily fixed, less a week. Returned to dealer, replaced the heater core which has returned the heat to the Jeep.
My Jeep shuts off while driving on city roads and going up hills with other vehicles present, no codes show up, dash lights turn red when vehicle is off, my Jeep makes funny noises when turned off, take it to the dealership over 3 months since I bought it 3 months ago and they can't fix it. They don't know what is wrong with it. They've tired everything and still nothing. It's going back in again because it shut off on me going up a hill. This Jeep is now becoming dangerous to myself. Yet the Jeep still isn't giving codes. I had to go buy a car scan device plug it in and record data of what is going on with the Jeep so that the dealership can see. Do I have to go off a cliff or get into a really bad accident before this problem is found or fixed. I've only had this vehicle for 3 months. I bought it on February 21,2020 and it started acting up on February 28,2020 and still is on May 16, 2020 and it is becoming a nightmare. I'm spending money to get it fixed because the dealership is charging me because my extended warranty doesn't cover it. I was told when I bought it that there was nothing wrong with it but that was a lie. I need help figure this out. The dealership didn't make sure that this vehicle was safely operational before selling it. It over heated because they didn't check fluid. My heated seats were burnt out. My dash lights flicker on and off. They replaced something behind my dash but it didn't fix the issue. I think it made it worse. As of right now my Jeep shuts up at least once a week which puts me in a dangerous position because I get stuck either on the side of the road sitting sideways or almost off of a cliff or in the middle of the road with nowhere to go because I have no power steering the Jeep does it start back up for anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes.
My horn and buttons on the front and back of my steering wheel have been out for almost a year now because I need my clock spring changed. But courtesy of breaux bridge will not change it under the recall bc I am not the original owner and/or my air bag light is not on or I do not have " enough warning signs" per recall. Even though the recall is good for 1million miles. They would rather me pay $650. I even called Chrysler.
The gas cap needs to be recalled. The dealer has replaced it several times and the light still comes on. The seat belt is a recall, but yet they have no parts to fix it. RHD Jeep's only.
Heater core clogged. Heater blows warm on passenger side, working across dash heat hets colder as it comes across to drivers side, driver side blows extremely cold. Defrost blows cold. From what I've read in Jeep forums thousands of Jeep owners are having this same issue. Heater core is getting clogged and affecting the heat output of Jeep. Our Jeep has roughly 112000 miles on and we have been having this problem since the Jeep has had around 50000 miles. Jeep would not cover under warranty because we were over 36000 miles. I have blew out heater core flushing it. That helps alittle bit but heat is still no were as hot as it should be. Replacing heater core involves pulling entire dash out or cutting dash supports to remove heater core to replace just to have new heater core clog again. Something in system is causing heater cores in these Jeep to clogg ultimately causing heat and defrost not to work and blow cold air.
As I research what is wrong with my Jeep it has been a happening for quite a bit of people. Nobody has been able to find a solution for this issue, what has been happening is when driving my 2013 Jeep Wrangler at all my check engine light comes on and I instantly lose power plus my ABS and traction control lights turn on and I end up going into limp mode. It mostly happening on the freeway and going up hills, but has also been happening even when it is in park. My Jeep has been in the shop with a trusted mechanic for 3 months and he has not been able to find the issue either. All of the research I have done tons of people has been having this issue but seems as though no one can find the cause of the problem either... I'm unsure of what to do now.
The hard top leaks when it rains!! seem there is a engineering problem with the panels and or seals. Spent extra money for the hard top thinking it was better that the canvass top, really disappointed to have a brand new vehicle that leaks water into the interior. Can't be good for the electronics and overall integrity of the interior of this vehicle!!
After turning off the vehicle and parking in a garage for 10 minutes the tipm started smoking, wipers and lights went on and horn started blowing and caught fire. This occured approximately 5 pm.
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.
