2011 JEEP WRANGLER Power Train Problems

1. Battery, then alternator, now powertrain control module. 2. Yes, could have been stuck on one of the busiest roads in town. 3. Driving home from work and noticed my radio went off and the noticed lights flashing on my dashboard. My car was chugging so pulled off the road. Once on the side, it just shut down. Tried to restart and nothing happened. Called AAA and they said I needed a new battery and told me my alternator was in the danger mode. Took my jeep to a car repair service and told me they had to replace the alternator, but that this a common problem with my year jeep and it still won't be fixed and battery will still die again because the powertrain control module needs to be replaced. Gave me documents that show the number of jeeps brought into their service center with the same problem. Can't get into a jeep dealership for service until August 29, 2 2024. 4. The engine light has been on for a long time but everyone told me it wasn't anything to worry about, a electronic issue. Low tire light would come on and off at various times for a few years and tires would not be low. Also, my passenger side airbag light comes on and off all the time in the past 6 months. I believe this was a recall and was supposed to be fixed. Obviously this has all been part of the powertrain control module not working correctly. All other lights that came on when my battery died never came on before that incident.

I have been experiencing the "death Wobble" for many years, and have gone to various shops to find out the problem but have not been able to fix the "death wobble". The entire car shakes and vibrates uncontrollably when I drive on the free way over a bump, or even when I drive on a regular street and hit a bump. The shaking doesn't stop until I come to a complete stop, and that is very dangerous on the freeway. Once the "death wobble" is going on braking and controlling the jeep are nearly impossible. I have recently found out about a class action lawsuit for this very problem, and I believe my car qualifies to be part of this. I have not been able to document this because it doesn't always happen, and when it does I don't have a camera running.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY THROW OUT BEARING PRELOAD ON MY JEEP. I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A TSB 06-002-07 FOR THE TJ AND JK WRANGLERS YEAR 2007 AND BEFORE. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD ON THE THROW OUT BEARING FOR MY YEAR JEEP. AS SOON AS I GO TO GOOGLE THERE'S 100S OF PAGES ABOUT PRELOAD PROBLEMS ON THE THROW OUT BEARING. THEY HAVE ALSO RECOMMENDED A BEARING THREW NATIONAL BEARING AND SEALS BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT YET. I HAD IT REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2016 AND ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH CARMAX SAYING IT WAS MY DRIVING AND ALSO I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THERE FAULTY WORK. IT STARTED TO ACT UP AGAIN LOAD SQUEAL WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN PRESSED (AT A STOP IN NUETRAL) ALSO LOUD WHEN DRIVING WHEN CLUTCH IS RELEASED SAME NOICE. I'M NOT SURE WHO ELSE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE JEEP WAS NOT SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

AT 73,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. FOR NO REASON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I WAS DRIVING, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE TO THE CAR THAT WOULD HAVE WARNED ME THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. I WAS JUST DRIVING NORMALLY, GOING TO WORK.

MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 2016 4:21 PM TRANSMISSION FIRE. 2011 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON WITH 81K MILES ALL MAINTENANCE. NO MODIFICATIONS AND NO OFF ROADING. LOST POWER ON AN INCLINED ROAD. THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AFTER ALL THE PANELS WENT CRAZY AND THEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE HOOD AREA. ONLY THING THAT KEPT MY CAR FROM GOING UP IN FLAMES WAS IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND I WAS ON AN INCLINE. THE 100000 MILE / 5 YEAR POWER TRAN WARRANTY ENDED THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS AN ENGINE FIRE DO TO THE RAIN AND ALL THE BLACK SMOKE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND BOTH DID NOT EVEN MENTION FIRE UNTIL I DID FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND HAD A PRIVATE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING ON AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO COMPLETE THEIR INVESTIGATION.

TWICE IN LAST 2YRS MY STANDARD WRANGLER HAS REFUSED TO SHIFT INTO GEER AND MADE A WINDING NOISE.. THEN STALLED AND REFUSED TO START FOR UPTO 10 MIN. IT HAPPEND LAST FAL WITH APPROX 2900 MILES ON IT THEN AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO WITH 4800 MILES... NOT SURE WHY OR WHAT IS CAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP GARAGE. ALSO HITTING ANY LITTLE BUMP FOR THE LAST 30000 MILES HAS MADE JEEP JUMP LIKE THE REAREND IS FLOPPING TO ONE SIDE ALSO HARD BREAKING CAUSES SAME ISSUE.. ALL SUSPENSION PARTS ARE EITHER NEW OR NEWER.. LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO FIX THAT ISSUE AND FAILED... I AM AFRAID THESE ISSUES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I EXPERIENCED THE SO- CALLED DEATH WOBBLE LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS GOING JUST ABOVE 40MPH. IT FEELS LIKE AN UNBALANCED WHEEL? IF I WOULD LEAVE OFF THE THROTTLE JUST A BIT AND KEEP IT SMOOTH AT 40 MPH IT WOULD GO AWAY. I COULDN'T IMAGINE THE OTHER OWNERS WHO WERE GOING MUCH FASTER WHAT THEY MUST HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS NEEDS FIXED AND I WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP EXPRESSING MY CONCERNS. I HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT BY THIS ! *TR

USING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (RIGHT HAND DRIVE), I DELIVER MAIL FOR THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE. WAS DELIVERING MAIL ON MY RURAL ROUTE. DATE WAS 4TH OF FEB.2014. THE PROBLEM WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS , MANY OTHER WIRES, COMPARTMENT PLASTICS ,AND GAS LINE. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE HOT OIL FROM THE TRANSMISSION DIPPING ONTO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . I ONLY SEE THAT THE FILL TUBE ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE LEAK. I HEARD A FIRE IGNITE , OPEN THE CAR HOOD AND SEEN THE BLACK SMOKE I THEN PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT IS NOW THE DATE-MARCH 18 ,2014. I HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION FOR REPAIR OF MY PROBLEM. THEIR INVESTIGATION STATED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT FOUND NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT ON 2-3-2014. I HAVE NOW TURNED THIS OVER TO MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY . THEY SAY I SHOULD USE THE LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR A BAD TRANSMISSION IN NOV. OF 2013. I DO NOT SEE WHY I SHOULD OF HAD MORE PROBLEMS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY COST TO REPAIR IS $5000. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER FOR THE JEEP ,A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST ME PERSONALLY $5000. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE (OFF ROAD) FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MILES WHEN THE "HOT OIL" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS NOT IN FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE. I WAS NOT TOWING ANY TRAILER OR DEVICE. THE ROAD CONDITIONS DID NOT WARRANT FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION. THIS SITUATION REPEATED ITSELF 2 MORE TIMES THE NEXT FOLLOWING DAY. I DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH A LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WITH THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER REP, BUT WITH NO SATISFACTION. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO PAY TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER AT MY COST. SURE IS NICE TO HAVE A "TRAIL-RATED" JEEP WRANGLER THAT CAN NOT HANDLE A SLIGHT INCLINE!!!! *TR

Mileage: 40,100

WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH ON ASPHALT, DASH DISPLAY INDICATED "HOT OIL" WITH AN AUDIBLE DING. PLACED IN PARK AND ALLOWED THE TRANSMISSION TO COOL DOWN. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY JEEP, HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION COOLER NOT DOING ITS JOB. CAN RESULT IN EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR FIRE. JEEP CORRECTS ISSUE AFTER A FAILURE, HOWEVER IF YOU WAIT FOR FAILURE THEN YOU RISK FIRE. WITH 2 CHILDREN AND MY WIFE IN THE JEEP, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW FOR SAFETY. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS A STANDARD SHIFT WHEN I LET OUT ON CLUTCH THE ENGINE WILL STALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT BECAUSE I WAS NOT LETTING OUT ON CLUTCH PROPERLY AND HAD TO GET USED TO DRIVING IT.MY BOY FRIEND WHO DRIVES A DIESEL TRUCK WITH A STANDARD EVERYDAY HAD THE INCIDENT HAPPEN TO HIM AND SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE .WHICH THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE AND CONCLUDED NO PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BACK TO DEALERSHIP WITH NO LUCK NOW I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS IT STALLS ALL THE TIME WHEN I SIT AND IDLE AT A RED LIGHT OR A CROSS ROAD AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I LET OUT ON CLUTCH IT STARTS ROLLING FINE WHEN CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED IT WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS THEN ENGINE WILL SPUTTER THEN DIE. CAN SOMEONE FROM YOUR AGENCY TEST MY JEEP PLEASE IT IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GET INTO A WRECK. I LIVE IN MOBILE ALABAMA. *TR

I USE MY JEEP OFF ROADING ONCE IN A WHILE, EVERYTIME I GET OFF INTO SAND WHETHER ITS HARD PACKED OR SOFT MY TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP LIGHT COMES ON. THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS HAPPEN I STOOPED AND READ THE OWNERS MANUAL ON WHAT CAUSES THIS LIGHT AND WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE TO CORRECT IT. THE MANUAL SAYS TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MAY OVERHEAT AND START A FIRE AS IT SPEWS OUT THE DIP STICK TUBE. THIS IS CRAZY, WHY DID THEY NOT PUT A TRANSMISSION COOLER ON THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD 7 OTHER WRANGLERS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE OR THREAT OF A FIRE BEFORE. STOPPING YOUR CAR TO PREVENT A FIRE SHOULD NOT BE AN IDIOT LIGHT, IT NEEDS AN ENGINEERING FIX. *TR

SHIFTING THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE (TC) FROM 2HI TO 4HI OR 4LOW (OR IN REVERSE ORDER) CAN CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING CABLE (TCSC) (MOPAR PART 52060462AG) TO FAIL AND BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM EITHER THE TC OR THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE CAB (OR BOTH). THE PART?S PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE INHERENTLY TOO WEAK TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. SAFETY RISKS WHICH CAN ARISE UPON COMPONENT FAILURE, IF THE VEHICLE OWNER AND THEIR FAMILY (CHILDREN) ARE AT A LOCATION AND/OR TERRAIN WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED/MARKETED FOR TRAVEL (WHETHER BY RECREATION OR NECESSITY), AND THE LOCATION/TERRAIN IS: (I) SUBJECT TO INCLEMENT WEATHER (E.G. SNOW, ICE, FLOODING, EXTREME HEAT); OR (II) ON AN EXTREME INCLINE WHICH IS UNSAFE TO NEGOTIATE WITHOUT 4WD; OR (III) ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH REQUIRES 4WD TO NAVIGATE TO A SAFE LOCATION; OR (IV) THE TCSC FAILS WHEN THE TC BECOMES STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE SHIFTING, AND IS UNABLE TO ESCAPE IMPENDING HARM (FLASH FLOOD) ... THERE IS OBVIOUS RISK TO LIFE/SAFETY. THE OWNER HAS A RIGHT TO RELY ON THE COMPONENTS AND REASONABLE SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT IS DESIGNED/MARKETED. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND THE MANUAL FAILS TO CITE THIS AS A POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC EVENT, LEAVING THE UNSUSPECTING OWNER AT A LOSS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IT IS NOT REASONABLE FOR THIS COMPONENT TO FAIL WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES AS REPORTED BY JEEP OWNERS. ADVANCE ADAPTERS (WWW.ADVANCEADAPTERS.COM) MANUFACTURES A TCSC WHICH MEETS THE CRITERIA (PRODUCT# 715596) REQUIRED FOR THIS COMPONENT. THERE IS NO REASON THAT JEEP CANNOT DO THE SAME AND/OR CONTRACT WITH ADVANCE ADAPTORS TO SUPPLY THE PART TO JEEP OWNERS. WE URGE NHTSA?S INVESTIGATION OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND JEEP WILL REDESIGN THE DEFECTIVE PART AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES ON WHICH THE PART WAS INSTALLED AS OEM AND TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO REPLACEMENT FOR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER SHIFTING FROM 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE, THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS RESULTED IN A REDUCED STEERING RANGE AND, I BELIEVE, IMPAIRED THE VEHICLE IN AN AVOIDANCE SITUATION. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY NOTICED AT SLOW SPEED. THE JEEP DEALER FOUND A DISCONNECTED 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. A NEW REPLACEMENT BUSHING WAS INSTALLED AT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROVED BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PART NUMBER AS THE ORIGINAL. *TR
