Alternator stopped working no warning no lights nothing just stopped.
I have had the recall completed but now my car to give a “service transmission “ message and that there is a problem with my clutch getting hot. There is no burning smells. are no issues such as rough gear changes or engine issues. It states the clutch is overheating and I’ve barely left the driveway. And this is after sitting still overnight Didn’t the recall fix this issue? It’s terrifying as it comes up stating that the transmission needs to be service then all information as to what gear you are in disappears while you are driving. This isn’t a recall fix it’s a nightmare. It wasn’t having a problem before but now it warning messages act like it’s going to burn up. There is NO burning smells no rough gear changes. Afraid to drive it.

Driving on interstate 35 south in fifth gear. There was a loud BANG! and then we lost power. Barely made it off a tight overpass and we saw the smoke. The car was quickly on fires we got out as it started to engulf the jeep with flames. It was a total and complete loss - and very dangerous.

Approximately 4to6 months after I bought my jeep following issues: electric bolt comes on. At a red light engine shuts off. Have to stop in middle of traffic to restart and pra it restarts. Sometimes this takes 3 or 4 tries. Sometimes many times when I try to start my car will not start. Many times I am unable to shift the jeep and takes 40 min to get the throttle into gear. Wheel locks. Windshield wipers come on at random times. This is a severe safety hazard. I did buy an extended warranty and they tell me it is not covered. I’ve followed up for any recalls and they tell me no recalls. I had some minor recall done a few months ago and now my jeep is worse than before. The stress of this is immense. Very very unsafe and I do not have the money to fix it. I love my jeep. I got one because my daughter knew how much I wanted a jeep so I purchased one a month after she died. This is a real safety concern and I have contacted dealership multiple times. Also informed the BBB. Please help me. Thank you. [XXX] .

I have a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU, which currently has a recall out because the clutch pressure plates are apparently bad. I realized today that the symptoms of that recall are EXACTLY what I have been experiencing for several months now. I went to the local Jeep dealer (Wallace Jeep in Stuart, FL) and they said there was nothing they could do because Jeep has not put out parts to remedy the recall yet (even though it's been about a year). They confirmed that clutches have been a problem and it is a serious issue, but I would have to continue to drive it until Jeep put out parts. This is extremely unsafe and the fact that they know how unsafe it is and are still telling customers to drive it until they get the parts figured out is ridiculous.
A safety Recall of the Clutch assembly was put out in February of 2023. No dealerships in a 50mile radius of my location had the parts available to perform the necessary corrective repair and vehicle update at that time. I was told I would be notified of parts availability. It is already 2024 and 11 months later and my vehicle is still at risk of catching on fire and there is still no available parts for performing the repair.
NHTSA Recall Number 23V-116 was created in March, 2023, and still the manufacturer offers no remedy. How long do they get to remedy the recall issue, and if they don't by that date what recourse does an owner have? Thank you!
I got letter from MOPAR back in February 2023 stating there could be a problem with my Jeep. At the time there was not problem. A week and a half ago around Aug. 23, 2023 my jeep started smelling hot while driving and there is a rattle between 3rd and 4th gear. My jeep is a manual transmission. I took it to LaFontaine Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Clinton, 1111 W Michigan Ave, Clinton, MI 49236; [XXX] . They told me it would be $1100 to just look at my Jeep and diagnose it, after confirming it was the clutch that is the problem. They proceeded to tell me it would be $3600 to repair the clutch. They never told me there was an open recall on my Jeep. I remembered getting the letter in the mail from Mopar so I found it. The recall was indeed for the clutch. The dealership never even mentioned the recall. They just wanted me to pay for the clutch. I called them back and asked them why they didn't tell me about the recall. They told me that it wasn't a "real" recall yet. I told them I looked it up on their website and it said it was. He told me since there is no remedy I just have to pay to have it fixed. He offered no other alternative so I am without a vehicle. I called Mopar to try to complain but they said they have nothing to do with dealerships but gave me a case number # [XXX] and said they had no idea when the remedy would be available and that there was nothing they could do. I told them I was without a vehicle and they told me to take my Jeep to another dealership. I asked them if that would change the outcome and they said no but maybe they would say it wasn't the clutch. I am already out $300 from having this dealership. Please help me. I am getting no help and I am without a vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There's some issue with the clutch, after shifting to the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear when you release the clutch accelerate the car makes a horrible sound really loud metal scratching sound. And sometimes while driving, the car automatically accelerates for 3-4 seconds. And now auto start/stop symbol with the exclamation mark shows up and the screen stops showing what gear the car is in. It's been happening since April this year.
