Right hand Jeep for rural mail carrier.

1) Engine light came on and traction light came on. Dealer said there was a recall on clip for a sensor. Clip replaced. Drove vehicle and lights came back on.

2) Dealer said cam sensor wiring to tight. They repositioned wiring. Drove vehicle and lights came on again.

3) Back to dealership third time. Was told the camshaft sensor was replaced, LOF completed. They test drove and lights came back on again. They replaced camshaft phaser. Test drove 60 miles with no issues. Drove on route next day and lights came back on. Took back to dealership. They are not sure what is going on.

I've called Chrysler and have a complaint. The case manager is to call me within 24 hours to find out what is going on, what's being done to take care of issue.

Will follow up if our when issue is taken care up.

problem #1

Wrangler Unlimited

The problem first occurred on 6/30/2015 while going down a bumpy, dirt road. The check engine light and traction control light came on and stayed on. I took it to the dealership the following day. They could find no valid code on their OCB II reader but noticed a service bulletin for a defective clip which was replaced the following week. Since then the problem has yet to be fixed after 9 visits to the dealership and 6 days missed from work.

This is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited Right-hand Drive. I am a rural mail carrier and use this vehicle for my job. The problems that I've had also include losing power while going up a hill, after going over a bump my vehicle has shut off, I've had problems with it starting after I've shut it off, I've had problems with the windows going up and down and at one point my cruise control didn't work.

So far the dealership has replaced the clip on the chassis, did a computer update, replaced the camshaft positioning sensors, replaced the ECM and are currently replacing the cam phasers. I've filed a complaint with Chrysler Jeep and also have a case open with Consumer Affairs.

I believe this is a nationwide problem and am trying to find other Jeep owners with similar problems.
