2013 Jeep Wrangler Engine Problems

Your Jeep's oil filter housing can leak, crack, or break even in normal weather conditions, and the problem gets worse in extreme heat, cold, or when parked outside. Oil leaks from the housing down onto the transmission, driveline, and ground, which harms the environment and can make roads slippery. If the leak isn't fixed and oil drains completely from the engine, the engine could seize and stop running entirely. The fix will involve replacing the oil filter housing and inspecting the engine for any damage from oil loss.

Loud rattle noise on start up and ticking sound when running. Also using a little antifreeze. There is no antifreeze leaks.

This vehicle is notorious for a common issue yet that same issue which has not been recalled is the reason my engine blew on the highway and Jeep has failed to notify owners of this issue or give some sort of reimbursement. My Jeep was cruising just fine when my engine suddenly blew, it was well maintained and taken care of. Despite the great care the oil housing unit which many others have complained about cracked leaking all the oil in a matter of minutes. This essential piece failing and releasing all the oil caused my engine to blow. Jeep is notorious for having a plastic oil housing unit with no heat shield since it is inbetween both engine bays. Having the unit where it is while creating the piece out of plastic seems like a text-book way to have catastrophic failure and further profit off complete engine failure. This material design flaw has now cost me nearly $800 come to find out I need a total engine replacement now which will be around $4000. This is completely unacceptable a vehicle was allowed to be put on the road with such a catastrophic design flaw and physically endangered me when this happened. In the attached files you can see the pooling of oil, I also have official reference from a local auto shop and screenshots of multiple online complaints.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an engine misfire, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in TSB: 09-002014 Rev. B (Engine). The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the check engine and traction control warning lights suddenly illuminated, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode and decelerated to under 45 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the cylinder head oil plugs, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was later taken to a second dealer who diagnosed that the engine had experienced low compression leak and multiple misfires. The contact was informed that the cylinder head, engine valves, and springs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that that a VIN was not included in the Extended Coverage for the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.

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 contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while at a stop light the vehicle started to stall while accelerating. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the crank shaft sensor was replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was notified of the cylinder #2 misfire. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was 114,000.

Motor rocker arm failed possibly damaged motor. Engine oil cooler cracked. Leaking oil over my exhaust. Possibly causing fire.

when while I’m driving the vehicle will turn off . I already have this situation happened to me so many times while there’s cars next to me or in face of me

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact used a DTC reader and recovered a code for a misfire in cylinder #6. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that her vehicle was not under warranty. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided a case number. The contact was also provided the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 89,800. The contact has made several calls to customer service submitting claims and denied. The vin number was not included in the service bulletin and the contact believes several vins are missing from the list.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was overheating while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the thermostat was replaced several times. However, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning illuminated and several chimes were heard. The contact veered to the side of the road and noticed that engine oil was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed that the radiator needed to be replaced. The part was replaced; however, the contact stated that upon parking the vehicle, the failure reoccurred and the engine oil leaked out onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer, Perkins Motors (1205 Motor City Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80905) where it was diagnosed that the engine cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about TSB: 09002-14. The contact was referred to a dealer. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the #6-cylinder head needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000. Consumer stated he had to pay to have the work done even though there is a service bulletin put out by Jeep referring to this problem specifically.

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 $3700.00 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.

ENGINE OIL COOLER HAS FAILED 2 TIMES ONCE AT AROUND 70K MILES AND AGAIN AT 90K MILES. OIL LEAKS ON TOP OF ENGINE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN THE BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION ON TO THE EXHAUST AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. FIAT DOES NOT CARE WHEN I REPORTED IT AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES. DEALER WANTED $3,000 TO REPLACE IT WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS 12 DOLLAR O RINGS ON THE ADAPTER. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT SITS ON TOP OF A HOT ENGINE FLEXES AND ALLOWS THE O RINGS TO LEAK. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO REPLACE THAT PART WITH SOMETHING SAFER BUT THEY WONT CAUSE IT WOULD COST THEM TO MUCH MONEY AND GOOD LUCK PROVING WHAT HAPPENED TO START THE FIRE WHEN THE PLASTIC HOUSING JUST BURNS AWAY IN A FIRE OR YOUR ENGINE BLOWS TO LOW OIL.

WHEN THE JEEP IS PUT INTO REVERSE FIRST THING AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. IF THE BREAK PEDAL IS SLOWLY RELEASED, THE JEEP WILL STUTTER AND ALMOST STALL BUT STAYS RUNNING.

JEEP HAS DEVELOPED A TICKING NOISE THAT HAS BECOME LOUDER AND LOUDER, NOISE IS PRESENT WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOVEMENT AND INCREASES WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT IT IS FAULTY ROCKERS AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL PENSTAR 3.6L IN ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED HAVING A CODE THAT READ "MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6" AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BANK OF CYLINDERS (2,4,AND 6) THE TROUBLE CODE STILL CONTINUED TO POP UP ABOUT EVERY WEEK OR TWO. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP, CHRYSLER, RAM DEALER TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ON THE PENTASTAR ENGINE IN THE 2012 AND 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS WERE HAVE MANY, MANY ISSUES WITH THE BAD CYLINDER HEADS BECAUSE OF THERE WAS TWO DIFFERENT METALS USED BETWEEN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSING IT TO WARP AND CAUSE COMPRESSION ISSUES IN THE CYLINDER. JEEP WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSED TO THIS DAY TO ISSUE A RECALL. AFTER THE DEALER TOOK THE ENGINE APART TO INVESTIGATE, HE ADMITTED TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. THIS MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6 OCCURRED MOSTLY WHEN IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE KICKER IN ALL OF THIS EVEN THOUGH JEEP ADMITTED A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF COMPRESSION, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD AT THEIR COST. BECAUSE JEEP DID NOT HAVE MY VIN NUMBER IN THEIR LIST TO BE REPAIRED, IT WAS UP TO ME TO PICK UP THE COST. I DID NOTHING IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE (ORIGINAL OWNER) TO MAKE A CYLINDER HEAD BECOME WARPED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PENTASTAR ENGINE FROM THE BEGINNING. TOO BAD JEEP DOESN'T DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THESE PENTASTAR ENGINE ISSUES AT THEIR EXPENSE RATHER THAN HEAPING MORE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE CONSUMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL PEPBOYS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER 6. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATIONS NUMBER: 10139897 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) WARRANTY HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MACON LOCATED AT (3068 RIVERSIDE DR, MACON, GA 31210, (478)345-8899) CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 65K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. TICKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. TURNED OUT THE LIFTERS AND CAM SHAFT HAD FAILED. REPLACED BY DEALER AT A TOTAL COST OF JUST OVER $2400. BASED ON NUMEROUS JEEP FORUM VISITS AND RESEARCH, THIS IS A PART DEFECT IN THE CAM LIFTER AND IS EPIDEMIC. FCA IS REQUIRING OWNERS TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY PARTS BEING INSTALLED IN THEIR 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINES. HAVE FCA ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY PARTS.

I WENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND TSB 09-009-18 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE HAD BROKEN AND ALL OF THE PIECES WERE MISSING BUT TWO SMALL PLASTIC PARTS. THEY SHOWED ME THE TSB AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP UNTIL THE OIL FILER ADAPTER WAS REPLACED OR THE PLASTIC PARTS COULD POSSIBLY MIGRATE AND BLOW UP MY ENGINE.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLING ASSEMBLY IS PLASTIC, CHEAP, AND LOCATED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE. MINE, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER JEEPS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THEM FAIL WELL UNDER 30,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES MASSIVE ENGINE OIL LOSS WHICH IN TURN CAUSES ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS IS A HUGE RIP OFF CONSIDERING THE PART COSTS ~$500. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY ON ALL JEEPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

FAILURE OF OIL COOLER HOUSING, NOTICED OIL BURNING SMELL LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AND SAW OIL EVERYWHERE

THE 3.6 ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A TICK FROM INAD ROCKER ARMS. THE ARMS ARE KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND MANY VEHICLES HAVE STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

REOCCURRING CLOGGING OF THE ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEM, CAUSING VERY LOW HEAT AVAILABLE FOR DEFROSTING OF THE WINDSHIELD IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF JEEP WRANGLER. EFFECT IS AT ITS WORST DURING CITY DRIVING

MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER ENGINE SHUTS DOWN VERY INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND CITY SPEEDS, IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES, I FIND THIS A SAFTY HAZZARD... IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES WITHOUT ANYTHING RESOLVED.

ENGINE DOES WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE AND SURGES WHEN DRIVING AT LOW THROTLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DULUTH (2473 PLEASANT HILL RD, DULUTH, GA 30096, (678) 369-6704) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROCKERS AND BEARINGS WERE FAULTY. THE DEALER ASSUMED THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE CAM SHAFT AND WOULD NEED TO TAKE APART THE ENGINE TO CONFIRM. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. BIG O DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2645 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 288-5000) DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, NEW BOLTS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED, AND A COOLANT FLUSH WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROCK CITY DODGE CHRYSLER OF NY (520 ROCK CITY ST, LITTLE VALLEY, NY 14755, (716) 938-6936) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WANTED TO SUBMIT THIS AS A GOODWILL CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE BEGAN MAKING TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE BAY AT ABOUT 77,000 MILES. JEEP HAS BEEN SERVICED AS REQUIRED WITH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OIL AND FILTERS SINCE NEW. DONE MORE OFTEN THAN JEEP REQUIRES. TOOK TO DEALER WHO AGREED IT WAS MAKING NOISE AND NEEDED FIXED. WHEN VALVE COVERS WERE REMOVED THEY FOUND ROCKER ARMS BAD ON 2 CYLINDERS AND TAPPETS COLLAPSED ON 3 CYLINDERS. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT. THEY HAVE A STAR CASE BULLETIN, # S1309000016 PUBLISHED ABOUT THIS. SAID THEY ARE DOING SEVERAL OF THE PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES A MONTH. THIS IS A ENGINE THAT IS USED IN MINI VANS, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS, 200'S AND 300'S, MAYBE OTHERS. HAPPENING IN ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS. ROCKER ARM BEARINGS NOT HARDENED CORRECTLY IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS.

MY WIFE'S JEEP HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE HEATER FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING COLD AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING WARM AIR ONLY. THIS IS A NEW ISSUE SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE STARTING IN JUNE 2016.

WITH NO LEAKS AND LESS THAN 65,000 MILES, THE AMOUNT OF HEAT PRODUCED THROUGH THE VEHICLES HEATING SYSTEM HAS BEEN STEADILY DIMINISHING TO THE POINT THAT IT NOW ONLY BLOWS COOL AIR. THIS CONDITION IS PRESENT EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND HAS BEEN IN CONTINUOUS OPERATION. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT A ENGINE COMPONENT MANUFACTURING DEFECT (CASTING SAND RESIDUE) HAS DIRECTLY CAUSED THIS CONDITION WITH THE SAND RESIDUE ACCUMULATING IN THE HEATER CORE AND RESTRICTING/BLOCKING THE FLOW OF COOLANT THROUGH THE HEATER CORE.

CONSTANT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THIS TICKING NOISE IS MADE FROM WORN OUT ROCKER ARMS/ CAM LIFTERS AS THE CAMSHAFT ROTATES. THE BEARING MATERIAL IN THE LIFTERS IS NOT HARDENED STEEL AND CAN DEGRADE. ALL 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINES ARE AFFECTED BY THESE DEFECTIVE ROCKER ARMS. IF THE ROCKER ARMS ARE DAMAGED NO CODE WILL SHOW. THE FIRST SINES WILL BE A LOSS IN FUEL EFFICACY. AS THE CAMSHAFT WEARS DOWN CHANGING THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE CYLINDERS THIS WILL START CAUSING MISFIRE AND STALLING DURING NORMAL DRIVING/ ACCELERATION. EVENTUALLY, WARE DEBRIS CAN FALL INTO THE CYLINDER AND DAMAGE THE HEAD. I FIRST TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 60K MILES TO DIAGNOSE. WITH NO CODES SHOWING I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE CHECKED OUT AND THE TICKING NOISE WAS FROM THE VALVES. NOW AT 84K MILES ONE OF THE ROCKER ARMS IS DEFINITELY FAILING AND STILL NOT SHOWING CODES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PURCHASE DATE WAS 5 1/2 YEARS AGO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L PENTASTAR. CHRYSLER HAS PROVIDED TECHNICAL BULLETINS TO VISUALLY IDENTIFY DEFECTIVE ROCKERS BUT ARE NOT PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL ON THIS PART. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THE TECHNICIAN SAID THEY HANDLE A LOT OF ROCKER ARM REPLACEMENTS ON PENTASTAR ENGINES, 5 TO 10 A WEEK! CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOURCING AND INSTALLING DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THEIR ENGINES.

OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING LEAKS OIL SPILLING IT DOWN THE BACKSIDE ONTOP OF THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING AND DIRECTLY DRIPPING ONTOP OF HOT EXHAUST PIPES RESULTING IN A FIRE HAZARD.

09-18-2018 WENT TO GET OIL CHANGE AND AFTER THE OIL CHANGE BEGIN TO HAVE A OIL LEAK, RESEARCHED AND IT SEEMED A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS HAD SAME ISSUE WITH OIL COOLER GOING BAD AFTER OIL CHANGE. VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING AFTER OIL CHANGES THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE UPDATED SO THIS AIN'T A ONGOING ISSUE WITH JEEPS THEY ARE ALREADY VERY EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE AND HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART AFTER MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR VEHICLE., PEOPLE HAS STATED THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX THIS MORE THEN ONCE.THIS IS OVER 800.00 BUCK TO FIX

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKING PART 5184294AE RESEARCH SHOWS NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING. ESP ON 2014 MODELS NOTICED OIL LEAK SON DRIVEWAY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. DEALER REPAIR COST NOT AFFORDABLE

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN ODD CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACTIVATING THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATING SYSTEMS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ODOR WOULD BLOW OUT FROM THE VENTS AND WAS PRESENT EACH TIME THE DEFROSTER WAS USED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON LEWIS JEEP (21145 RT 19, CRANBERRY TWP, PA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED OFTEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB CALDWELL JEEP CHRYSLER RAM (1888 MORSE RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43229, (614) 739-8871) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW PUMP WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

P0302 MISFIRE CYLINDER 2. P0300, P0304 & P0306 JEEP/DODGE IS VERY AWARE OF THIS CYLINDER ISSUE AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR SEVERAL MODELS. (JOURNEY, WRANGLER, 200/AVENGER, CHALLENGER, CHARGER, GRAND CARAVAN, DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE). AND THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS PART. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM IS THE SERVICE LIGHT INDICATOR. SO YOU CAR WILL NOT START IF IT MALFUNCTIONS. OF COURSE THEY WANT YOU TO ONLY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO POSSIBLE HELP. AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC WHEN MY ENGINE JUST STALLED. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN MODULE. IN FACT, THE DAY I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER, IT STALLED AGAIN GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. THEN, THE DEALER CALIBRATED THE THROTTLE. I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, CALL THEM AND THEY WILL HAVE IT TOWED. THIS IS WHAT I DID. IT WAS AT THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY STATED IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY ARE KEEPING IT THERE AND WILL BE DRIVING IT WITH HOPES OF DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE THE SHOULDER AND NOT GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

OIL ADAPTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. NOTICED WHEN I WAS GETTING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE.

OIL FILTER HOUSING, CRACKED RESULTING IN LOSS OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL, ENGINE HAS 82,000 MILES AND OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3000-3500, USING MANF RECOMMENDED OIL AND FILTER. STARTED LEAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND BURNING SMELL, DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED DUE TO OVER TIGHTENING OF OIL FILTER CAP. THIS IS NOT TRUE, HAVE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS USED A TORQUE WRENCH TO THE MANF SPECIFICATIONS PRINTED ON THE OIL FILTER CAP. REVIEWING THIS ON THE INTERNET AND SEES TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE PENSTAR ENGINE WHICH CHANGED FROM BOTTOM MOUNT TO TOP MOUNT OIL FILTER. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE REPLACEMENT COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES IT WAS USER ERROR AND REFUSES TO COVER. WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO REVIEW THE NUMBER OF ISSUES OTHER JEEPS HAVE HAD WITH THIS PART BREAKING, AS DEALER WARNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH THE OIL LEAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM CENTERVILLE IN CENTERVILLE, OHIO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

JUST PURCHASED, HEAT NOT WORKING. HAD HEATER CORE FLUSHED, HEAT WORKED FOR ONE WEEK AND NOW BLOWS VERY HOT ON RIGHT SIDE AND LUKE WARM ON LEFT SIDE. THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE CASTING SAND PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO SHOP TO FLUSH HEATER CORE AGAIN. NOT GOOD.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (MORE THAN A QUART PER 250 MILES) AND IS OVERHEATING WHEN UNDER LOAD ON LONG CLIMBS. OVERHEATING AND/OR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHICH IS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHERE THE ENGINE WILL NOT GO OVER 3000 RPM. WHEN OIL LEVEL DROPS TO ABOUT 3 QUARTS LOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE JEEP GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED VALVE TAPPETS, THE LEFT CAMSHAFT AND THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD UNDER MY CHRYSLER "MAXCARE" LIFETIME WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE IS NOW TELLING ME THE REPAIR MAY NO LONGER BE COVERED BY MY LIFETIME SERVICE CONTRACT (REFERENCE JEEP CUSTOMER CARE CASE NUMBER 32175924). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM OVERHEATING AND/OR OIL LOSS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE 2013 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. I'M HAVING AN ISSUE THE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME SO FAR. FIRST TIME WAS IN LATE AUGUST, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE HEADING HOME FROM WORK. 2ND TIME WAS ON 9/16/17, AND MOST CURRENT WAS YESTERDAY 9/26/17. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, ONCE IT SHUTS OFF, IT WON'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY, USUALLY YOU HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES. IF YOU TRY TO START IT BEFORE IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH NO OPEN CODES. AT THE POINT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN CALL. HATE TO JUST REPLACE ITEMS IF IT IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAD HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROAD WAYS, ON SUNNY CLEAR DAYS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ALL THREE TIMES. I DO FEEL LUCKY SO FAR OUR KIDS HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE JEEP NOR HAVE WE BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MPH. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF PUTS YOU IN DANGER FROM ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS.

OIL PRESSURE

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FEET, BUT WILL BLOW HOT AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS LEADS TO ISSUES WITH DEFROSTING AND VISIBILITY.

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FEET BUT WILL BLOW HOT AIR ON PASSENGERS SIDE. THIS LEADS TO ISSUES WITH DEFROSTING AND VISIBILITY AS WELL AS THE DRIVER BEING SAFE AND ABLE TO FEEL THEIR FINGERS AND FEET WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS A STAR REPORT ON THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. JEEP HOWEVER SAYS I AM OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BOUGHT THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE OVER FLOW TANK AND ALL OTHER RELATED COMPONENTS ARE THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH, POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER. PER JEEP / CHRYSLER / DODGE / RAM / MOPAR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-034-14 REV. A AND TSB-18-034-14 ON SOME MODEL VEHICLES AND JEEPS, (MY 2013-2014) THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATES AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0520 IS SET REGARDING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. THE TSB OUTLINES REPLACING THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WITH A "REVISED" PART. CHRYSLER INSTALLED DEFECTIVE SENSORS ON MANY 2013-2014 3.6L ENGINES AND WILL ONLY REPLACE THEM IF THEY FAIL WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IF THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, IT MAY NOT ALERT YOU TO AN ISSUE WITH OIL PRESSURE. THIS CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE / LOSS OF POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. UPON CHECKING THE VEHICLE'S COOLANT, THE CONTACT NOTICED ABNORMAL COLORED COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO GET A COOLANT FLUSH WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS CASTING SAND IN THE COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, UPON RETURNING THE VEHICLE HOME, THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND NOTICED THAT IT HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY SAND PARTICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000....UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF *TR

MIL IS ILLUMINATED PERIODICALLY FOR DTC P0306. LOW COMPRESSION DETECTED IN CYLINDER 6.

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR CYLINDER MISFIRES DUE TO COIL ISSUES. SATURDAY 10/29/2016 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING THE CAR WAS SHAKING SO BAD I PULLED OVER INSTANTLY. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE SO I COULD CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK, THE CAR OVER HEATED BECAUSE OF THE COIL MISFIRE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MORE THAN JUST ME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2011-13-CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP-V-6-ENGINE-ISSUES-1420681304495/. *TR

JEEP RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, NORMALLY LOW SPEED IT WILL CUT BACK ON QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 5-10 MIN FOR A HIGH SPEED CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT THROW ANY CODES AND DEALER CANNOT FIX IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

SINCE THE SPRING OF 2016, MY JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER IGNITION, AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 20-25 TIMES OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFLASHED THE CONTROL MODULES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TENDENCY TO STALL AT STOP LIGHTS. WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT AND I HAD MY 5 YEARS OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE (STALLING IN REVERSE, AND WHILE IDLING). THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT AWAY, BUT OCCASIONALLY POWER ISN'T AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY (2-3 SECONDS DELAY). JEEP WASN'T AWARE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I CALLED... AND THIS MORNING I LEARNED ABOUT OTHER FCA VEHICLES BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE THEY ARE STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

WHEN CHANGING THE OIL . WHEN YOU REMOVE THE OIL FILTER THERE IS A PLASTIC PART ON THE SHAFT IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. THIS IS A VALVE THAT CONTROLS THE OIL IF THE FILTER GETS GUMMED UP THE PRESSER CAUSES THIS VALVE TO OPEN SO THAT THE OIL WILL STILL FLOW IF THE FILTER IS CLOGGED. THIS PLASTIC VALVE BREAKS DURING NORMAL OIL CHANGES. TO FIX THIS 10 CENT PART YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW OIL COOLER UNIT AT THE COST OF $237.00 ALSO TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT YOUR LOOKING AT $800 PLUS FOR A 10 CENT PART. JEEP CHANGED THE OIL COOLING FILTER UNIT IN THE 2014 MODELS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS NOT ONLY IN THE JEEP JK V6 BUT ALSO IN DODGE CHARGERS AND ANY V6 MODELS THAT USE THIS SAME FILTER OIL COOLER UNIT. PART # 05184294AE NUMBER ON IMAGE: 1 CATEGORY: 3.6L GAS; ENGINE MSRP$237.00 PRICE MAY VARY BY DEALER ADAPTER ENGINE OIL FILTER SEEMS LIKE A RIPOFF THAT YOU CAN NOT BUY A 10 CENT PART BUT HAVE TO BUY A $237 UNIT THAT IS NOT NEEDED

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 HOUR DRIVE I DO ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND 2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A YELLOW LIGHT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL AND IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO REALIZE IT HAD STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE ONTO A SIDE ROAD. THE POLICE SHOWED UP AND HELPED ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I TRIED TO START IT, APPROXIMATELY 10MINS AFTER STALLING AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I WENT STRAIGHT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, $250.00 AND GOT GOING ON MY WAY HOME - FAT, DUMB AND HAPPY - UNTIL 2 DAYS LATER WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED I WAS ON A BUSY 12 LANE INTERSTATE 95 IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI. AGAIN I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD STALLED, I WAS INCREASING SPEED FROM ABOUT 50MPH TO 60MPH AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 6 LANES AND IMMEDIATELY PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND ROLLED THROUGH TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN KENDALL, FL. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL VEHICLE - THANK GOD. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER THEY CHANGED OUT THE PCM AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME - FIXED (SUPPOSEDLY). 2 WEEKS LATER IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE HWY; WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED FINE, WAS LATER AT THE STORE GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START JUST KEPT TRYING TO CRANK ITSELF, WAITED 5 MINS LATER AND IT STARTED. THAT WEEKEND TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER IN TAMPA (JERRY ULM) THEY SAID IT IS NOT IN MY WARRANTY AND I PAID $400.00 FOR WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS A CHRYSLER "WORK AROUND". 2 DAYS LATER IT WOULD NOT START AND IT TRIED TO CRANK ITSELF. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND WAITED 5 MINS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WENT DIRECTLY TO KENDAL CHRYSLER, WHERE IT IS SITTING TODAY AS I WRITE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED UP YELLING THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I PULLED OVER, SAW THE SMOKE AND THEN THE FLAMES FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FIRE AND RESCUE DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAD JUST HAD THE SAFETY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE MIRRORS LAST MONTH AND MY STATE INSPECTION DONE 4 DAYS PRIOR. IT IS AT THE SHOP CURRENTLY UNDER "INVESTIGATION" BY THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY--IT WOULD RATTLE AND SHAKE JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. IF I TRIED TO JUST ROLL THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY FORWARD, IT WOULD STUTTER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE MANUAL INFORMS TO WAIT A FEW DRIVE CYCLES TO SEE IF IT WILL JUST TURN OFF. PULLED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE (P0306) AND IT WAS A CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE ISSUE. TOOK CAR IN ON 9 DEC 2014 AND THE ENTIRE LEFT CYLINDER COLUMN WAS REPLACED. ON 24 DEC 2014, THE SAME ISSUES BEGAN TO OCCUR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC CODE. CAR WILL BE TAKEN IN ON 26 DEC 2014 FOR SERVICE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAD JUST LEFT A LOCAL BUSINESS MID-DAY ON A WARM DRY SUMMER DAY. WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY AND TRAVELING SLOWLY AT APPROX 20 MPH. APPLIED BRAKE AS WE ROLLED UP TO A STOP SIGN. ENGINE STARTED TO INCREASE RPM ON ITS OWN REQUIRING EVERMORE INCREASING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO COME TO A STOP. STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGINE RPM REACHED 2500. I PUT THE GEAR SELECT INTO NEUTRAL. THE BRAKES GRABBED, THE ENGINE RPM SHOT UP AND RETURNED TO STANDARD IDLE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CAR BEHAVED NORMAL AFTER THAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX 6 TIMES OVER PAST YEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. FLOOR MATS SECURE AND LOCKED DOWN. I DRIVE RIGHT FOOT ONLY AND BRAKE CLEANLY AND SQUARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEED, WHEN ENGINE IS WARM, AND EVEN SQUEALED THE TIRES ( BURNED RUBBER ) ONCE. MUST SLAM INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES (N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE) FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR NOW BUT EVERY TIME I ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT I GET A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT HOW IT IS CHRYSLERS FAULT THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE PARTS OUT . COME ON NOW, A YEAR? 3 NOTICES AND NO PARTS? *JS

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A VERY LONG LIST OF CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR A PART TO ARRIVE. THIS DEALERSHIP ONLY GETS 1 PART EVERY 2 WEEKS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NAMES ON THE LIST PRIOR TO MINE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? *TR

I WAS REAR ENDED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN FRONT OF ME,WHEN MY JEEP GOT REAR ENDED THE MOTOR SPEEDED UP AS I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I COULD FEEL THE ABS WORKING .ONLY AFTER I HIT THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF GEAR DID MY JEEP STOP. MY ENGINE CONTINUE TO RUN AT A VERY HIGH RPM. ONLY AFTER I SHUT EVERYTHING OFF AND RESTARTED NEED THE ENGINE RUN NORMAL. *TR

BRAND NEW VEHICLE, AFTER 6,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TAKE IT IN, THEY HAVE IT FOR A MONTH, HAD TO REPLACE HEADS. GET IT BACK, NOW AT 50,000 MILES THE HEADS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THEY SAY DRIVE IT. IT WILL CUT OUT OF POWER AND RUN VERY ROUGH, BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS OK. I TALKED TO A MECHANIC THAT WORKS THERE, AND HE SAID IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR THE HEADS AND CANT KEEP UP WITH ALL THE DEMAND. ALL 2013 JEEPS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, MOST JUST GO IN AND THEY FLASH THE CODE, AND SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY. I AM ON A JEEP FORUM, AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS IF IT HAPPENS A THIRD TIME. I DON'T WANT THE SAME DEFECTIVE MOTOR PUT IN IT. *TR
