2016 Jeep Wrangler Complaint Log

Torque Converter was replaced due to internal failure. Vehicle had 62k miles when torque converter was replaced. Issue arouse around 40k when vehicle would die when placed in reverse after cold start. AutoNation dealership did not cover cost since vehicle had went over 2k of the power train warranty. When I researched online, I came to realize that this is a common problem within the JK models which is upsetting to pay out of pocket cost for defect parts from the manufacturer.

THE OIL FILTER CANISTER/OIL COOLER IS CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS BOUGHT FROM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY OTHER PART HOUSES THAT THIS REPLACEMENT PART IS ON A 50,000 + PARTS BACK ORDER AND THAT IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 20-60 DAYS TO GET THE PART IN TO REPLACE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN WE NOTICED THE LEAK AND NEVER DRIVEN AGAIN AFTER THAT. THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURING SIDE OF THINGS BUT THAT IS A LARGE NUMBER FOR THE BACK ORDER.

BETWEEN 41,258 MILES AND LESS THAN 43,000 MILES, FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKED UP. HUSBAND THROWN FORWARD TOWARD WINDSHIELD -- WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES -- AT CITY DRIVING SPEED BUT WAS SAVED BY HIS SEATBELT FROM GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IT ALSO FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE VERY GRABBY EARLIER ON THAT TRIP AND MORE ACCELERATION WAS NEEDED TO MAKE THE CAR TRAVEL FORWARD AS THE WHEELS SEEMED NOT TO MOVE FREELY, LIKE THEY WERE BEING HELD BACK. ROTORS SEVERELY SCORED, COULDN'T BE MACHINED. BOTH FRONT CALIPERS, ROTORS, HOSES, PADS, LINES, FLUIDS ALL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT ACCORDING TO KOONS TYSONS JEEP IN VIENNA, VA. IN A 2 SECOND GOGGLE SEARCH OF JEEP OWNER'S FORUM BRAKE COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE OVER 300 SIMILAR BRAKE CALIPER AND LOCKING UP COMPLAINTS FOR 3RD GENERATION WRANGLER VEHICLES BETWEEN 2007 AND 2017. THE DEALERSHIP SHARED WITH US THAT THE NEW PARTS THEY USED FOR OUR FRONT BRAKE REPAIR ARE THE RE-ENGINEERED OEM PARTS DESIGNED BY JEEP AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL FRONT BRAKE PARTS THAT SHIPPED ON THESE VEHICLES FROM THE FACTORY (YET THERE IS NO RECALL TO DATE -- IF JEEP RE-DESIGNED THE ORIGINAL PARTS, THEY CLEARLY KNOW THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE, PLUS THEY SUPPLY THE JEEP OWNER'S FORUM??). WE WERE GIVEN AN INVOICE OF $1,500+ FOR THE FRONT BRAKE REPAIRS. WE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FRONT BRAKE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO WORK WITH US TO DISCOUNT THE PRICE AS WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES, BUT JEEP DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR US DIRECTLY. JEEP DID ACKNOWLEDGE ON THE PHONE THAT THEY MAY NEED THEIR RECALL DIVISION TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ALSO HAPPENED TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH OUR SON, WHO THEN TOLD US HE HAD THE SAME BRAKE ISSUES WITH HIS 2016 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WHICH HAD TO HAVE 3 BRAKE REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE HE GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

VEHICLE HAS ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT. GARAGE KEPT. BRAKES FAILED. NEEDS NEW BRAKE PADS, NEW ROTORS, AND NEW SPEED SENSORS. $850 WORTH OF WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN JEEP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MODULAR THAT CONTROLS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND HE COULDN'T GUARANTEE THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 (IT HAS 39,000) AND IT WOULD BE $900 TO FIX.

SPOKE WITH BRITTANY ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM (ERROR MESSAGES). TOLD HER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENTIRE RADIO MUST BE REPLACED AND WILL BE ROUGHLY $600. BRITTANY TOLD ME THAT UCONNECT AND GARMIN MAKE THE PRODUCTS IN THE JEEP PERTAINING TO THOSE ISSUES. I TOLD BRITTANY THAT I HAD SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT BOTH OF THOSE COMPANIES AND THEY ALL SAID THAT THE ISSUES I AM HAVING ARE ALL A JEEP PROBLEM. I TOLD BRITTANY THAT THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS A KNOWN JEEP PROBLEM. BRITTANY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY CALLS AND HAVE HAD MANY CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AS NEW AS 2018, 2019, AND 2020 MODELS. THEY ALSO HAVE MANY CALLS AND CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE IN OLDER MODEL VEHICLES AS WELL. SHE STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTS BY CUSTOMERS TO GET THE COST OF THESE ISSUES COVERED, AND THEY HAVE BEEN DENIED EACH TIME. BRITTANY ADDED MY NAME/VEHICLE/ISSUE TO THE CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SHE SAID THAT IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY REGARDING THIS THEN I WOULD RECEIVE INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. I TOLD HER I WAS GOING TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT IF THIS RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE TO COME OUT. SHE TOLD ME THAT IF EITHER THE RECALL OR WARRANTY DO COME OUT, I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT FROM THE REPAIR AND I CAN GET REFUNDED FOR THE FULL COST OF THE PARTS/LABOR/TAXES/ETC. I ALSO ASKED ABOUT IF THIS REFUND WOULD APPLY IF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE GRANTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS MADE IN CANADA, AND SHE TOLD ME I WOULD STILL GET THE REFUNDED AMOUNT. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH WARRANTIES BEING VOIDED WHEN THE VEHICLE CROSSES THE BOARDER (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE TIME FOR THE JEEP WARRANTY) BECAUSE A JEEP IS A JEEP AND THEY ARE ALL MADE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHERE I LIVE. SHE HEARD MY COMPLAINT BUT WAS UNABLE TO HELP

ENGINE OIL COOLER FAIL, EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL FOUND ON DRIVEWAY WHILE PARKED, ATTEMPTED TO LOCATE SOURCE BY STARTING ENGINE. OIL FLOODED OUT OF THE ENGINE, STREAMING DOWN THE ENGINE TO THE FRAME. HAD MY WIFE DRIVEN THE JEEP TO WORK IT WOULD'VE PROBABLY CAUGHT FIRE ONCE THE OIL REACHED THE EXHAUST.

I HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER 4 SETS OF MUD TERRAIN TIRES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT ARE UNEVENLY WORN AND NO ONE KNEW WHY. MOST RECENTLY, THE REAR RIGHT TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL GASH AND HAD A FLAT TIRE, WE BEGAN SMELLING SMOKE AND ENDED UP TAKING THE JEEP INTO BRAKEMASTERS AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS FAILING AND FALLING APART. WE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED, BRAKES, ROTORS AND PAID $5000 OUT OF POCKET AND AS I WAS DRIVING FROM HOME TO TUCSON THE OTHER DAY TO MY MATERNITY APPOINTMENT, THE BACK RIGHT TIRE BEGAN SCREECHING WHILE NOT BRAKING AND BEGAN SIZZLING AND BURNING WITH OIL COMING OUT FROM THE TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE NEAREST BRAKEMASTERS AND THEY SAID THAT AN ENTIRELY NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NEEDED. NOT ONLY COULD THE JEEP HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT I KEPT LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY WITH A 2 YEAR OLD AND ONE ON THE WAY. I AM HOPING TO SEE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION ON THIS AND TO BE COMMUNICATED WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCKINNEY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM & USED CARS (4574 CALHOUN MEMORIAL HWY, EASLEY, SC 29640, (864) 859-1981) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED CONTACT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN TURNED TO MANY TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THE BRAKES KEEP GETTING LOCKED UP. I"VE HAD THE CAR SINCE MAY 2020 AND HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TWICE AND THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKES DONE TWICE AS WELL. NOT TO MENTION, TODAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN AND STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THE "FIX" WILL COST

BRAKES SEIZED UP WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES. IT REQUIRED A FULL FRONTAL BRAKE REBUILD. THE MECHANICS SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND YEAR. BECAUSE THEY WERE "SEIZED" UP, IT CAUSED EVERYTHING TO HEAT UP AND RUINED THE CALIPERS, PAD AND ROTARS. IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC.

I NOTICED AN OIL BURNING SMELL AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION SAW OIL ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST . LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED OIL UNDERNEATH MY ENGINE COVER BY THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. SO NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT SMELLS LIKE IT'S ON FIRE. SO I GUESS THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR VEHICLES BURNING UP.

RANDOMLY DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THIS JEEP WILL SUDDENLY UNEXPECTEDLY BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO BE UNABLE TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. JEEP DEALERSHIP DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. OTHER MECHANICS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS ON THE CITY STREETS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN TURNING. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE

DEATH WOBBLE - THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE JEEP - PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR NEW TRACK BAR (DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM) - TOOK JEEP TO DOMINION OF BEDFORD (JEEP DEALER) THEY SAID THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING LOOSE ON FRONT END AND RECOMMENDED GETTING VEHICLE ALIGNED (PAID OUT OF POCKET TO DOMINION OF BEDFORD) - HAD VEHICLE ALIGNED (ALMOST $300, DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM) - TOOK JEEP TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND THEY ADVISED NOTHING COULD BE FOUND THAT WAS LOOSE - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BECAUSE THERE IS VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY I CAN'T JUST SLOW DOWN WITHOUT POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT - WE HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICES FROM JEEP ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED HAS STALLED AT 30MPH AND AT 65 MPH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY AT LEAST FIVE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TWICE TO GOOD BROTHERS DODGE RAM (577 COLUMBIAN ST, SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA 02190, (781) 331-8300) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED QUIRK CHRYSLER JEEP (441 QUINCY AVE, BRAINTREE, MA 02184, (781) 917-1400) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. *DT*JB

RECALL # S40, NHTSA 16V-288 NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED!!! MY CLOCKSPIRING ASSEMBLY IS BAD IN MY VEHICLE, AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR CERTAIN 2016 RHD VEHICLES FOR THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. CERTAIN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2011 AND MAY OF 2016 FALL INTO THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THAT TIME, HOWEVER FOR SOME REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL-WHY? THE SAME CLOCK SPRING THAT WAS RECALLED IN CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS HAS GONE BAD IN MY VEHICLE ALSO-WHICH IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE. SPEAKING WITH CHRYSTLER DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED! THIS IS NOT OK! IT IS AN ISSUE EFFECTING AIR BAD DEPLOYMENT! I AM A RURAL MAIL CARRIER-AND I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERY DAY. IF A VEHICLE REAR ENDS ME OR HITS ME-MY AIR BAD WILL NOT DEPLOY AND THATS MY LIFE! FOR CHRYSTLER TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN VEHICLES AND NOT TAKE CARE OF IT IN MINE IS NOT OK! AND I EXPECT SOMETHING TO BE DONE!

THE JEEP WRANGLER HAS 37K MILES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BREAK CALIBER LOCKED UP. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED/IDENTIFIED THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH. WHEN BREAKING THE JEEP MADE A STRONG PULL TO THE RIGHT ALMOST SENDING THE VEHICLE OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD..

MY WIFE HAS HAD HER GAS PEDAL STICK ON HER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND I HAVE HAD IT STICK ON ME ONCE (10-4-20). THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT TO HER WAS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO, AND THEN IT DID IT TO HER TWICE THIS MORNING ON HER WAY TO WORK (10-9-20). IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION. THE PEDAL WILL DROP TO THE FLOOR, RPM WILL SHOOT UP, AND IT WILL NOT DISENGAGE FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS OR SO. I HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE FLOOR MATT IS NOT OBSTRUCTING THE PATH OF THE PEDAL. THIS SEEM STO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE JK JEEPS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.

HORN SOUNDS ONLY AFTER A VERY FORCEFUL/PURPOSEFUL PUSH ON THE STEERING WHEEL HORN PAD AND THEN ONLY AFTER A MOMENTARY DELAY (I SUPPOSE AFTER "RELAYS" ARE ACTIVATED). ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO OPTION FOR A LIGHT, FRIENDLY "BEEP" (FOR INSTANCE TO SAY "HELLO" TO A NEIGHBOR OR AWAKEN ANOTHER DRIVER SITTING AT A LIGHT AFTER IT'S TURNED GREEN).

VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 58000 MILES WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO ON, A HISSING SOUND AND A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE CAME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP. TURNED OFF VEHICLE, AND EXITED THE CAR TO SEE A TWO FOOT WIDE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE CAR. . REPAIR SHOP INDICATED FAILURE OF PRESSURIZED GAS LINE COMING FROM TOP OF THE GAS TANK. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE HAD BEEN PRESENT THE CAR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 14 MILES THAT DAY WITH NO ISSUES, THE FAILURE IN THE GAS LINE WAS SUDDEN AND COMPLETE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT DEALER LOCATED AT 4074 ROSS CLARK CIR, DOTHAN, AL 36303, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

HAVE HAD TO HAVE MOST IF NOT ALL FRONT OF VEHICLE REPLACED WITH BALL JOINTS AND UPPER RIGHT AXLE THE LATEST. NOW I HAVE A DECA CODE 0198 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING HOT.

WHEN I CRANK MY VEHICLE AND PLACE IT IN DRIVE THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND THE BREAKING SYSTEM BEGINS TO LOCK DOWN THE BRAKES AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK TO A STOP. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE I AM ON THE PUBLIC ROADWAY. THE DOWNHILL BREAKING ENGAGES WHEN ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL CLEAR ITSELF OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY TILL THE NEXT DAY.

I WAS ON A MAJOR CITY STREET BEHIND A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. I MADE A MANUVER TO PASS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE CAR ACCERERATED ON IT'S OWN. I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE GAS PEDAL BEING PULLED DOWN (AS MY FOOT WAS STILL GENTLY ON THE PEDAL). I IMMEDIATELY LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR REACHED 36 MPH QUICKLY APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH NOW WAS STOPPED. I IMMEDIATLEY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARD. THE CAR STOPPED AND THE RED WARNING LIGHT FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR LIT ON THE DASH. I AM A CAR DEALER AND AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH PROFESSIONAL DRIVER TRAINING. I FEEL MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE WE PUT THE MANUFACTUER DIAGNOSTIC TOOL ON THE VEHICLE. WE WERE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE REPORT. I ALSO TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DASH AND REPORTED TO THE FACTORY SERVICE REP AND FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST.

The clock spring has gone out, 15 and older was issued a recall, my 2016 (built 2015) is not included and denied buy jeep. My airbag light has been on about 20,000 miles now.

I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND IT WAS READING A P0302 CODE. THIS CODE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "PENTASTAR TICK". I KNEW THAT THIS MEANT THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD MAY BE CRACKED AS THERE ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS DEFECTIVE.*DT*JB

2016 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES HAS, FOR SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR, A FAULTY ESC SYSTEM AND IT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE, LOSS OF POWER, AND SUDDEN STEERING CHANGES. NISSAN BROTHERS HAD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS ISSUE THE FIRST TIME...

AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT REASON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STEADY ON. MECHANIC RAN FAULT CODES AND RECEIVED ABOUT 15 FAULT CODES ON COMPUTER RELATED TO AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SRS. APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

WHEN I AM TURNING LEFT THE ABS LIGHTS AND STABILITY LIGHTS TURN ON. THERE IS ALSO A WEIRD NOISE. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT IS A CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS COMMON FOR THE JEEP WRANGLERS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.

2016 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE WIPERS STAY ON AT ALL TIMES, WIPER SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. LIGHTS STAY ON AT ALL TIMES, SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. HORN DOES NOT WORK. BLINKERS DO NO WORK. HIGH/LOW BEAM ALSO INOPERABLE. DASH LIGHTS EXTREMELY LOW, CAN BARELY SEE THEM AND WE ARE 35 YR OLD OWNERS WITH GOOD 20/25 VISION. FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS OR MECHANICAL TERMS, HAVING A VEHICLE WITH THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS LIKE DRIVING SOMETHING POSSESSED. TIPM ON THIS VEHICLES ARE KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND FCA HAS AGREED TO RECALL CERTAIN VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN ISSUED CAME TO LIGHT.

IN LAST 4 YEARS OR SO OF OWNERSHIP THE REAR BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD TWICE. SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AT FAIR OAKS JEEP DODGE RAM IN CHANTILLY, VA. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE. REPORTING IN CASE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES.

A COMMON NUMBER 4 CYLINDER MISFIRE THAT SEEMS TO COMMON ON ALL JEEP FORUMS. THE CODE WAS FOUND TO BE A NO COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDER. ALTHOUGH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE, JEEP DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? MY ENGINE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND I'M BEING TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

CLOCKSPRING IS CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO STAY ILLUMINATED. CLOCKSPRING CONTROLS TURN SIGNAL, FLASHERS, DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAGS, ETC. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT EVEN DEPLOY. THAT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND SHOULD BE FOR ALL DRIVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE ABNORMALLY, AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER GOING OVER A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VIDEON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 4951 WEST CHESTER PIKE NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA 19073, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V201000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WHILE SITTING STILL I STARTED MY JEEP AND ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE FIRST FEW HOURS IT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY, NOW IT'S ON ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH COSTS $410 FOR THE PART ALONE AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THERE MUST BE A LOT OF JEEPS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THAT MEANT MY AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME SHE SAID NO QUITE THE OPPOSITE IT MEANT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM A MAIL CARRIER AND HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2016 RHD JEEP OWNERS AND THEY HAD RECALLS TO REPAIR THEIRS BUT MINE DIDN'T MAKE THE RECALL LIST. MY JEEP IS MY LIVELIHOOD, NOW I HAVE TO WORRY THAT IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION I'M AT A MUCH HIGHER RISK FOR INJURY OR FATALITY. *TR

THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE NOTORIOUS TO GIVE OUT IN THESE VEHICLES. EVEN AT LOW MILEAGE. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON LIMITING PERFORMANCE AND CAUSING ISSUES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE SERVICE. THEIR ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT CAN BE EITHER LOCATION OR INAPPROPRIATE GUARD TO COVER WIRING. JEEP STATES IT IS PART OF MAINTENANCE BUT A SIMPLE PLASTIC COVER WOULD ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED TO DEBRI OR CAUSING FAULTY.

I REPLACED A SINGLE ROLLER ROCKER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE EARLY IN 2019. NOW I AM LOOKING AT A FAILED ROLLER ROCKER ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND POTENTIALLY AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

THE VEHICLES AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOW FAIL TO WORK. LOOKED ONLINE FOUND IT IS THE CLOCK SPRING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. DEALER QUOTE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS 679.00

VEHICLE DIES WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE FIRST START OF THE DAY. A LITTLE BIT OF A CLUNK IS ALSO EXPERIENCED WHEN THIS HAPPENS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE AIR BAGS ASSEMBLY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEUWIRTH MOTORS LOCATED AT (219 S COLLEGE RD, WILMINGTON, NC 28403) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 100,000.

REAR PASSENGER SIDE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED IN SEPTEMBER, 2019 AT 23,469 MILES AND REPAIRED AT A COST OF $310.31. REAR DRIVER SIDE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED IN MARCH, 2020 AT 26,835 MILES AND REPAIRED AT A COST OF $244.41. WITH EACH FAILURE, VEHICLE'S ABS, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CRUISE CONTROL BECAME INOPERATIVE AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ENGAGE THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS.

UPON FIRST START OF DAY, USUALLY COLDER MORNINGS, ONCE THE JEEP HAS BEEN WARMED UP, UPON GOING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, THE JEEP WILL SHUDDER HARD BUT KEEP RUNNING OR IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED.

RECURRING ISSUE. WHEN STARTING JEEP, TYPICALLY IN THE MORNING AFTER SITTING FOR THE NIGHT, IT WILL STALL AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. THIS REQUIRES PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK, REMOVING THE KEY AND ATTEMPTING TO START AGAIN.

AFTER REPLACING THE IGNITION COILS ( TWICE) AND MISFIRING SPARK PLUGS, MY ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON. AFTER MULTIPLE COMPUTER READINGS, THAT KEEP SAYING THE SAME THING, IS NOT TURNING OFF. THE DEALER AND OTHER MECHANICS STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN OTHER JEEPS AS WELL. THEY TELL ME TO CAMPAIGN FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I STILL HAVE 2 YEARS OF PAYMENTS AND WANT TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERS THE VEHICLE IDLES LOW AND ROUGH, ALMOST SHUTTING OFF.

WHEN I PUT THE JEEP IN REVERSE AND START BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY IT STUTTERS AND DIES. YOU CAN START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND IT MAY DO IT AGAIN OR WILL RUN CORRECTLY. IT HAS ALSO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY PROPERLY AND THEN STUTTERS AND DIED WHEN PUT IN DRIVE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND SWITCHED TO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE STALLS. WHEN PLACED INTO PARK, AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE SHIFTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

2016 JEEP WRANGLER JKU WITH 60119 MILES AT DISCOVERY OF ISSUES BY DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER WAS TO COVER MAINTENANCE ON BLOWN HEAD ENGINE HEAD GASKETS FOLLOWING INSPECTION. ON 23FEB20 I NOTICED EXCESSIVE VAPOR COMING OUT OF MY EXHAUST ON MY WAY HOME, I CHECKED MY COOLANT AND OIL TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS FINDING LOW COOLANT LEVELS HOWEVER IT WAS STILL WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. IT WAS DETERMINED MY HEAD GASKET WAS DAMAGED AND A REPAIR WAS NECESSARY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED THE ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR WHICH CHRYSLER WAS INFORMED OF GIVEN TERMS FOR COVERING THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED RIGHT AT WARRANTY. I FOUND THE ENGINE WAS STILL HAVING A PROBLEM WITH AIR IN THE RADIATOR/COOLANT LINE AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A COOLANT PURGE. DURING INSPECTION THE CHRYSLER MASTER MECHANIC NOTICED THE MAIN COOLANT FAN WAS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED. THE MAIN COOLANT FAN OPERATION WAS INTERMITTENT WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LONG TERM OVERHEATING AS THE ROOT CAUSE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET WHICH WAS TO DETERMINED BY THE CHRYSLER FACILITY TO HAVE BEEN FAILING OVER THE LAST 10,000 MILES. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND APPROVED MAINTENANCE AS WITH THE OTHER FAILED ITEMS. I CONTACTED WORLD JEEP AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP FOUND GASKET INSTALLED WAS DEFECTIVE, THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED UNABLE TO PROVIDE HEAT IN THE CAB AND THE ENGINE HAD A KNOCKING NOISE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED TO RECOMMEND COURSE OF ACTION WHICH IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER HAS CHANGED CASE MANAGERS 4 TIMES AND HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE BACK BY MYSELF OR THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER IS NOW REFUSING TO COVER ANY OF THE WORK THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO HELP COVER AND ARE ONLY WILLING TO ASSIST WITH 50% OF THE REPAIR COSTS OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A LAUNDROMAT, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING A COMPLETE STOP WHEN EMPLOYED; INSTEAD THE JEEP UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AND LAUNCHED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE LAUNDROMAT, STRIKING THE WALL THEREOF AND A WASHING MACHINE ,WHEREFORE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANYTIME.

JEEP STALLS WHEN COLD AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE
