2013 Jeep Wrangler owner complaints

When you hit a bump or even a rock on the highway or any road, something happens the front end it starts shaking like crazy its as if you had a blow out. Normally around 35 to 50 miles an hour. This is happening to many Jeep owners they call it the "Jeep death wobble." it is a very frightening situation. The steering wheel and the whole front end shakes back and forth. Slowing down does not correct the problem as some people have suggested you have to come to a complete stop. And then start driving again. This happened on a busy highway where there is not way of pulling over or on a road and it also happened on the city streets. This can cause a situation, there has been no recall on the issue but have heard many stories about this issue. It does not happen all the time , but when it doe

2013 Jeep wrangler. Consumer writes in regards to transmission oil cooler tube recall notice. *smd the dealer informed the consumer, it would be a minimum of 40 weeks before they would have the part in, because they could only order one every two weeks.

At 50 MPH I crossed a transition on an overpass at a 45 degree angel. The steering wheel shook so hard I could not keep my hands on it. I have heard of this issue called the "death wobble" but never experienced it. The way to stop it is to tap the breaks but I could not because I was on the interstate and there were cars behind me. It felt like the suspension had broken and I was going to pull over there were 2 lanes to the right with cars coming at highway speed. I made an appointment with the dealer and took my Jeep in the next night. The confirmed they know all about the death wobble but refer to it as the steering damper issue. I called Jeep and they filed an expedited claim process but did not call me back when promised. When I called again, they had someone call me the next w

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. So

A hazard to every occupant, heating system quits working due to faulty self-destructing heater core that also disables oil cooler and radiator. Original part number #68004193a sheds all casting sand then causing clogs & total shut downs. Clearly known well since 2013 with no warning to any owners (reference their own Jeep forum). In addition to frozen passengers and complete shut-down @ 'anytime', the $110 made-to fail part results in $2,382 added expense, as well as multiple mis-diagnosis expense(s) by their own certified mechanics.

At the time I first tried out the vehicle & prior to purchase the battery was dead & it had to be "jump" started. I requested that a new battery be installed prior to delivery. I took delivery & about a week later went on vacation, did not take Jeep. It was not driven for about 3 weeks. When I tried to start it the Jeep would not start, as if the battery was dead. I jumped it & continued to drive it, every day for several weeks. After a few weeks, I let the vehicle sit for a day without starting and when I tried it would not start. 8/19/13 took Jeep to the dealer to get problem with electrical system fixed. They tightened the negative battery terminal & reprogrammed one of the computers. 9/2/13 Jeep would not start, had to jump it. Did not run it or try to start it yesterday.

Traction control and check engine light illuminated not allowing me to accelerate. This Jeep has been in the shop about 30 times and the problem is still not resolved, they are telling me that I need a new wiring harness and that they will not cover it because the warranty is expired this has been ongoing since 19000 miles. Also water in the passenger side floor board from heater core. Seat belt broke in half and

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

Failure of oil cooler housing, noticed oil burning smell looked under the Jeep and saw oil everywhere

In august 2013 I received safety recall n28 / NHTSA / 13c-234 transmission oil cooler tub for my 2013 Jeep wrangler rubicon, I received a second notification in october 2013. After receiving the second notification I contacted the dealership where I purchased my Jeep and was told I was third on their list to have the safety recall completed. My sales rep. Explained the reason for the delay was Chrysler requires the dealership send back the faulty transmission oil cooler tube they replaced before Chrysler would send out a new one. He informed me I was third on the list for jeeps effected by the recall and once they reached my name and receive a new transmission oil cooler tube they would contact me. In early december 2013, I contacted them again and I'm still third on the list for replaceme

No heat! Clogged heater core! Grit and slime in dirty/discolored OEM coolant (10 yr/150k mile rated). Never touched or added to, unless undocumented by dealer. This is our family vehicle that my wife/kids use daily, and it is about 10f here in vt right now. Very common Chrysler issue apparently and dealer does nothing but attempt to flush multiple times which does not solve the problem and is a huge inconvenience! I am still under 5 yr/100k powertrain warranty, since when is cooling system not part of power train? Heat was reduced last winter, this winter virtually none. Dangerous to constantly clear the windshield with no defrost! This needs to be a recall

There has been an issue with my emergency brake since my Jeep was new. It does not hold adequately, and must be pulled extremely tight to even engage at all. I have been told by the dealer that "that's just how they are." I don't believe this for one minute, and in fact find it insulting that Chrysler expects consumers to believe this. I have never owned a vehicle where the emergency brake won't hold it. I have friends who drive wranglers too and they all say the same thing. Design flaw? This is a safety issue when driving a manual and would love a functioning emergency brake. *tr

A well-known fault since 2013, a self-destructive faulty heater core part #68004193a which sheds casting sand causing complete shut down of radiator & oil cooler & engine operation. In addition, causes certified Jeep mechanics to mis-diagnose resulting in additional costly time & expense. Damage done to replace heater core, radiator, oil cooler an additonal $2,382. While still driveable in below-freezing temperatures, passengers subject to no heat. *js

At only around 20,000 miles while turning right and braking I would hear a crunch sound. Also the cloth top on the Jeep was manufactured very tightly against the side roll bars and are wearing out the cloth on the poles which will eventually end up with a torn material. I've had to replace the plastic back window at 17,0000 miles because of the lack of visibility. Currently the Jeep has 28,000 miles and is garage kept. The fender flares have started faded already too.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Jeep wrangler. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle automatically went into limp mode and the hot oil and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the rpms failed to increase. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle for the indicators to dim. The vehicle was taken to feeny Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of midland (7400 eastman ave, midland, mi 48642) where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced and there was corrosion in the totally integrated power module. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred a year later. In addition, the vehicle failed to start. The contact mentioned that the starter was replaced and the vehicle was driveable for two days; however, the vehicle
