2012 JEEP WRANGLER Engine Problems

The vehicle exhibits a persistent valvetrain ticking noise associated with the rocker/lifter/cam components of the 3.6L Pentastar V6. The engine makes a rhythmic metallic tapping at idle and during acceleration. The noise has progressively worsened, leading to rough idle and occasional misfires. This issue is documented in multiple Stellantis technical service bulletins (e.g., TSB 09-015-24 and TSB 09-011-25) which attribute the noise to hydraulic lash adjuster and cam/rocker wear. If unaddressed, the failure can cause camshaft damage, metal debris contamination, loss of power and potential engine stall, posing a safety risk. The vehicle is available for inspection. The problem has been confirmed by independent mechanics who recommend replacement of the rocker arms, lifters and camshaft to prevent catastrophic engine failure.

I am reporting a persistent and safety-relevant defect in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. The vehicle is experiencing misfires on multiple cylinders, especially cylinders 1 and 5, triggering codes P0300, P0301, and P0305. These misfires result in loss of power, hesitation, and rough idle, creating serious safety concerns during acceleration or highway driving. Despite replacing spark plugs, ignition coils, the crankshaft position sensor, purge valve, and both oxygen sensors, the problem continues. The vehicle has just 83,000 miles and is currently at a certified third-party repair facility. Multiple mechanics believe the issue stems from known defects in the left (Bank 1) cylinder head or valve train components—an issue Chrysler previously acknowledged via TSBs and a 10yr/150k mile extended warranty on select VINs. I contacted Jeep Cares and requested goodwill support, but they refused to even discuss the issue because my Jeep is not at a dealership. This leaves owners like me with limited, expensive options despite being affected by a well-documented defect. Jeep forums and independent shops have seen widespread misfire problems on early 3.6L Pentastar engines, especially 2012-2013 models. I urge NHTSA to investigate this pattern of failure. The misfires impact driveability and safety, and the manufacturer has not offered sufficient resolution or consistent support to affected customers. I’m happy to provide additional information, documentation, or diagnostics.

Engine spontaneously caught fire. It had been parked for hours before it happened. Everything under the hood was totaled

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the ABS, Traction Control and check engine warning lights had remained illuminated. The contact indicated that while pressing the brake pedal to stop, the brake pedal extended to the floor causing the braking distance to become extended. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 55,000.

In my 2012 Jeep I had to replace the engine and catalytic converters. The engine number 3 cylinder failed due to excessive ware causing lower compression. After the engine (long block) was replaced, one of the cylinders was miss firing. This miss firing was traced to micro cracks in the plastic/composite intake manifold (original and not part of the engine replacement). Because these micro cracks changed the fuel air ratio on specific cylinders by leaning out the cylinders near the cracks this lean mixture would cause the affected cylinders to run hot that would lead to both the excessive ware on the one cylinder and would comprise the catalytic converters. Because this change in fuel air mixture was caused by the intake manifold and Jeep does not have any inspection requirements or methods for this item and even after the Jeep Dealer did a full diagnosis using their factory specified equipment the issue with the manifold was not found. My local AMMCO shop found the cracking in the manifold that was the route cause of the problem.

Jeep Wrangler 3.6 liter 90k miles lifter making loud noise. Seems you had a recall about this on the 2012 and guess I missed out

6 days after an oil change, the temp gauge while driving went from cool to hot in under a mile and the engine temp light came on. There was coolant all over the underside of the car it was near catastrophic. I had to have it towed to the dealership for repairs. The faulty part was the oil filter adapter it was cracked by over tightening of the oil filter.

Engine Stalls Randomly while Driving. Will crank over several times and over approx 10-15 min. of cranking(Say every 3-5min) vehicle will and will restart. No check engine lights and no warning. The loss of power can be dangerous since brake and steering assist require engine to be running. Vehicle will be fine for several days local commute and problem will recur without warning, usually on longer commute. Vehicle is unsafe and unpredictable.

CAM SENSOR FAILED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT APPEARED. REPLACED AND SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED. MAY BE WIRING OR CAM/ROCKER ISSUES.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal burning odor around the vehicle. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and other various speeds the burning odor was still present. The check engine warning light illuminated with the temperature gauge rising from normal to hot. An audible alarm was heard during the failure. The vehicle was driven to the residence and then towed to a dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the radiator needed to be replaced. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who determined that coolant was leaking into the cylinder head. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

While driving the car randomly stalls. I lose power steering and braking. The car will not restart. This issue has been recorded by the dealer. The vehicle was last inspected on July 5th. I have been issued a Jeep Care case manager, case # 82963828. There are no warnings, while driving makes a left-hand turn the car just stalls!

Starting out at a stop light, engaging the clutch to start moving, I depressed the clutch to shift into second gear while making a turn, the vehicle stalls, losing all power.

Starting out at a stop sign. engaging the clutch to start moving, while shifting into 2nd gear while turning the vehicle stalls. Losing all power steer and brakes. I try to re-start the car i get a crank no-start scenario. Wait 3-5 min, retry starting the vehicle starts.

While driving making a turn, shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and vehicle stalls losing all power. The vehicle has been to the deal multiple times and the issue can not be duplicated. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times and there are no known issues. No-fault codes are thrown. I stalled in the middle of a busy intersection, with my children in the car. I had to push the vehicle to safety!

I was driving on the highway and the engine caught fire. I’ve been looking for an engine to rebuild and all of them had previously been on fire. I believe the engine is defective for the jeeps that year, make and model.

While driving the car stalled. Loss of power steering and braking. I was able to coast to a safe location. I tried to restart, but Crank- No Start.

While driving making a left-hand turn, crossing an intersection the vehicle stalled. Lossing all power, no power stirring or breaks. When trying to re-start vehicle will not re-start.

While crossing an intersection the vehicle stalled for no reason. No Codes were posted. Crank No Start, waited 10 min, and the vehicle started. Drove to the dealer to resolve. Dealer has no known reason for stalling while driving

Random Stalling while driving, making a left-hand turn. While entering an intersection, the vehicle stalled losing all power. Was able to coast to a safe spot. Waited 15 min, the vehicle started. No check engine light.

Oil filter housing is cracked and leaking oil. Potential fire hazard, pooling of oil on engine block. Seems to be a widespread problem.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the engine would misfire while driving at various speeds. Due to the failure, the vehicle would independently go into limp mode with the traction control and check engine warning lights illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to several unknown dealers and the engine misfire was acknowledged however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was not available.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (VIN: [XXX]). WITHIN 1 MONTH OF TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. SPECIFICALLY, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING AND BREAKS DEACTIVATE. TO STATE THE OBVIOUS, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, PARTICULARLY AS OUR FAMILY HAS THREE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX. TO DATE, LARRY MILLER JEEP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR CODES APPEAR. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH JEEPS OF MY MODEL YEAR (HTTPS://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/THREADS/ELECTRICAL-PROBLEM-SHUTS-OFF-WHILE-DRIVING.190041/) SO I AM SURPRISED THAT JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM GIVEN THE DIRE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS MATTER TO YOUR CUSTOMER CARE GROUP, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE FCA HAS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF THIS SITUATION AS WELL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OIL COOLER CRACKED AND LEAKING ANTIFREEZE ALL OVER ENGINE AND UNDER FRAME. ANTIFREEZE IN THE OIL. ONLY 69K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE OIL COOLERS ON JEEPS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. COST TO REPLACE IS VERY EXPENSIVE!!

Mileage: 69,000

OIL COOLER BROKE AND STARTED LEAKING AFTER THE COLD TEMPERATURE IN OKLAHOMA ON 2/14/21

THE OIL COOLER FAILING, LEAKING. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT MY OIL COOLER IS LEAKING FROM A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND AND MY LOWER ENGINE FULL OF OIL. I GOT NO WARNING LIGHT. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A NOTICABLE PUDDLE I WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT. IF NOT MY MOTOR WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND NO OIL IS ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED. IF IT WAS A HERE AND THERE INCIDENT, IT WOULD B DIFFERENT. BUT IT'S A VERY BIG PROBLEM. IN THE PHOTO LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. IT'S A PUDDLE OF OIL. THE PRICE OF OIL IS NOT CHEAP. NEITHER IS THE TIME CONSUMING AND COST OF THE REPAIR. PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE.

CAR COMPLETELY DIES WHEN SITTING IDLE. I BELIEVE THE CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY AND I HAVE HEARD MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. MY 15 MONTH OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME TO BE SITTING AT A MAJOR STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIE. I WAS SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND SCARED FOR MY SON'S SAFETY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE JEEP DIES ALL OF THE RELAYS START ENGAGING AND THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED CHECKED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES EITHER. PLEASE CREATE A RECALL FOR THIS SO MY FAMILY WILL BE SAFE WHEN I DRIVE THEM AROUND.

OIL LEAKING OFF TOP OF ENGINE. CRACKED PLASTIC PART CAUSED OIL TO LEAK OUT ON ENGINE AND EXHAUST CREATING A BURNING SMELL AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE FROM JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

Mileage: 112,390

OIL LEAKING FROM ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT WAS GETTING ON THE EXHAUST AND COULD START A FIRE. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS WEBSITE, FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A PLASTIC PART ON TOP OF THE ENGINES USED BY JEEP AND CHRYSLER. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE LOOSES POWER AND VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING THIS PROCESS, AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS LIGHT GOES OUT AND ENGINE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES SOMETIMES ON STARTUP SOMETIMES STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND OTHER WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 30,000

THE LIFTERS (HEADERS) HAVE GONE BAD. INCREDIBLE TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE IN DRIVE AND IDLE. AS RPMS INCREASE THE TICKING IS LOUDER. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADERS. I HAVE READ A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA PAGE REGARDING THIS AND ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS ALL OVER JEEP FORUMS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 ENGINES ... WHY IS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

JEEP LOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD AND THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. IVE HAD TO STOP AND PULL BATTERY POWER TERMINAL OFF MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESET IT. THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES THEN ALL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES START FIRING. JEEP WILL NOT RESTART. DEBATING SELLING IT AND GETTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A JEEP PRODUCT. BATTERY IS GOOD AND ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. I HAD BOTH CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY JEEP AS WELL.

Mileage: 56,000

MY JEEP WILL RANDOMLY JUST SHUT OFF WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT OR STOPPED AT A LIGH. IF I TURN THE KEY IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES. I HAVE HAD IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG .

BEGINNING OF FEB., LOST POWER ON FREEWAY. WENT FROM 65 TO 40 MPH AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. EXITED THE FWY AND DROVE TO DEALER WHERE I WAS TURNED AWAY DUE TO HIGH VOLUME. LEFT MY JEEP AT THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH THIS ISSUE AND TO CORRECT CAMPAIGN #V51 RECALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T LIT ANYMORE AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT SO I PICKED IT UP. COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I FAILED THE SMOG CHECK I NEED TO REGISTER MY JEEP, AND AN ENGINE CODE SHOWED UP, P0394. I TOOK IT TO OTHER PLACES WHERE THE SAME CODE SHOWED UP AND WAS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. GOING DOWNHILL, MY FATHER EXPERIENCED THE SAME WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP. BEGINNING OF MARCH, OMW TO THE DEALER ON THE FWY, I LOST POWER AGAIN AND THE ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. I SHOWED THE DASHBOARD TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, EXPLAINED THE CONTINUED PROBLEM AND THE CODE SHOWING UP. I LEFT MY JEEP THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED WHEN I PICKED IT UP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE STALLED. I USED GRAVITY TO PARTLY MOVE BACK DOWN AS THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR DRIVING INTO THE LOT. I PUT IT ON "PARK" AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. NO ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME. THIS MORNING I LOST POWER DRIVING TO THE FIRST STOP ON MY STREET (STOP ON MY SIDE ONLY). I HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE T-INTERSECTION BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT. I PUT IT IN "PARK" THEN BACK TO "DRIVE" AND ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND BECAUSE OF THE CORONA VIRUS, BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IF A COMING VEHICLE (WHO HAS THE RIGHT-A-WAY), DECIDED NOT TO SLOW DOWN.

BEGAN LEAKING SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER JEEP AFTER USE. TOOK TO HAVE ISSUE INVESTIGATED. MECHANIC FOUND THE INTAKE GASKET ON REAR OF INTAKE CAUSING THE ISSUE. ESTIMATED COST TO FIX $600+ THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS JEEP, THUS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER DRIVE TRAIN WARRENTY OR A RECALL AS THIS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE.

I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT FOR THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE HAD A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP. TODAY I RECEIVED A LETTER INDICATING THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE MIGHT NEED REPROGRAMMING. INTERESTING ENOUGH THIS WENT BAD ON MY 2012 JEEP A YEAR AGO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER MY ENGINE FAILED. NOW THAT I SEE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM NEEDING REPROGRAMMED IT MADE SENSE WHY A JEEP WITH BARELY 90,000 MILES WOULD HAVE AN ENGINE THAT FAILED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT I WAS NEVER ROUGH WITH IT, AND ALWAYS GAVE IT APPROPRIATE OIL CHANGES. IT TOOK ME THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR TO PAY OFF THE COST OF THE NEW ENGINE, AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT A CAR THIS NEW, THERE REALLY ISN'T A GOOD OPTION BESIDES KNUCKLING DOWN AND PAYING FOR THE FIX. I WOULD LOVE TO LOVE MY JEEP AGAIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE, MY JEEP SAT OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT. WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL THE TEMP GAUGE PINGED. I LIMPED IT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP (NO JEEP DEALERS IN MY HOMETOWN) AND EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM. AFTER WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN INITIAL FIX, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAD ACTUALLY FAILED AND I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD IT REPLACED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF THE REPLACEMENT IF NECESSARY.

THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT A LOT OF 2011-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN HAVING. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THIS COST SHOULD COME OUT OF OUR POCKET. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM ALL THE JEEP REVIEWS I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE POSTING WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP-LIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (BUT NOT ON EVERY OCCASION), THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE IN MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT HAS STALLED, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE & COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER-STEERING & HYDRAULIC BRAKE-POWER. TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I MUST SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISRUPTIVE WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (FOR INSTANCE WHEN THE RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN WHILE I'M SLOWING). FURTHERMORE, THE ENGINE FREQUENTLY STALLS AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOTS AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED.

Mileage: 112,000

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, LIKE PASSING A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHICH HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK 4 TO 5 TIMES DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I PULL OF THE ROAD AND RESTART LIMP MODE GOES AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS CODES POPPING UP ABOUT TORQUE MANAGEMENT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESSES BEING AN INTEGRAL PART IF THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 91,000

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A P0302 #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE READING. AFTER REPLACING CONSUMABLE PARTS (SPARK PLUGS, ENGINE COIL) RESET ENGINE LIGHT, THE CODE P0302 RETURNED AFTER 15-20 MILES DRIVING. THIS ISSUE IS A WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE, AND REQUIRES INTERNAL ENGINE REPAIR (LIFTERS, ROCKER, AND/OR CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT). AN OPEN SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS, BUT SEVERAL JK VEHICLES WITH THE SIMILAR ISSUE CAUSE PARTS BACKORDER. IF CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE HAPPENS, MORE SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT TO THE VEHICLE. AS OTHER COMPLAINTS INDICATED, THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CLASSED AS A RECALL.

Mileage: 85,915

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, RESULTING IN P0302 #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE. AFTER REPLACING CONSUMABLE PARTS (SPARK PLUG, ENGINE COIL) RESET ENGINE LIGHT. CODE RETURNED AFTER 20 MILES DRIVING. DEALER TECHNICIANS INDICATE ISSUE IS #2 CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACEMENT. OPEN SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS, HOWEVER CONDITION HAS AFFECTED ENOUGH JEEP JKU VEHICLES TO RESULT IN PART BACKORDER. THIS PRESENTS AN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION AS PART MAY TAKE WEEKS TO MONTHS TO OBTAIN. NO SOLUTION ON TEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE/ OFFERED AS RESULT. DEALER INDICATES DRIVING VEHICLE LIKELY TO WORSEN CONDITION, AND ADVISES TO KEEP UNTIL PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CLASSED AS A RECALL AND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION.

DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH 44,000 HIGHWAY MILES, DURING CITY DRIVING, THE JEEP STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, WE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO CHAPMAN JEEP IN HENDERSON NV. FOR TROUBLESHOOTING, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD SERVICE BULLETIN AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, WOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. A FEW DAYS LATER, WE GOT A RETURN CALL FROM JEEP SAYING THE FAULT WAS NOT THE CYLINDER HEAD, BUT IT WAS THE ENGINE ITSELF! A PISTON HAD MELTED IN NUMBER 6 CYLINDER AND THE ENGINE WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT! AS YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO FIND A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE WITH ONLY 44000 MILES, WOULD NOW REQUIRE AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT COSTING ME $7000.00 DOLLARS! I REQUESTED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR JEEP TO TELL ME HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, BUT THE REPLY WAS THEY DID NOT KNOW. THE ENGINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED WITH THE BEST OIL AND COOLANT, AND NO OTHER CYLINDERS WERE AFFECTED. I HAVE HELD OFF WRITING THIS LETTER SINCE I WANTED TO GET OUR JEEP RETURNED TO ME BEFORE MORE MONEY WAS REMOVED FROM MY WALLET. I DO REALIZE THINGS CAN GO WRONG, BUT SOMETHING FAILED INTERNALLY TO THE ENGINE, THIS WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL, AND ALL CHRYSLER/JEEP COULD DO WAS SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS AND SAY PAY ME. YOU HAVE LOST A JEEP CUSTOMER, AND I'LL BE SURE TO LET MY FRIENDS IN THE JEEP CLUBS KNOW OF THIS EXPENSIVE OUTCOME.

OIL PUMP REPLACED AFTER 50K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH CODE P06DE, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED AFTER 2 WEEKS. CODE WAS ONCE AGAIN P06DE. OIL PUMP WAS REPLACED DUE TO SOLENOID ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT IT'S BEEN A COUPLE DAYS. EITHER WAY, AFTER READING SEVERAL JEEP FORUMS, IT SEEMS THIS IS PRETTY COMMON ON 2012 WRANGLERS AFTER 50K MILES. I HOPE JEEP DECIDES TO RECALL THIS PART SINCE I'VE SPENT OVER $1200, JUST ON THIS ISSUE.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS A MANUFACTURE FLAW, WHICH CAUSES ENGINE OIL TO LEAK IN THE ENGINE BAY AND ONTO THE EXHAUST. THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE IN THEIR JEEP WRANGLERS. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE AGE OR MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MALFUNCTION HAS ACCRUED IN JEEP WRANGLERS WITH AS LITTLE AS 2K MILES ON THEM. THE MALFUNCTION IS NOT ONLY A HEALTH BUT SAFETY RISK TO DRIVERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. WHEN DRIVING THE CABIN FILLS UP WITH SMOKE FROM BURNING OIL AND HAS A HIGH POTENTIAL TO IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE. WHEN JEEP REPAIRS THIS ISSUE THEY USE A NEW PART NUMBER, AND NOT THE STOCK APPLICATION. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I'M FINDING THIS IS THE CASE WITH A NUMBER OF CHRYSLER FIATS BRANDS WITH THE PENASTAR 3.6L MOTOR. I MY HAVE THIS ISSUE NOW, AND HAVE HAD IT ON BOTH OF MY 2012 AND 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS. AGAIN, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPAROTA ONLINE WITH JEEP OWNERS WITH THE 3.6L PENASTAR MOTOR. 2012-2014. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED BY JEEP ENGINEERS IN MID 2015.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. CLICKING NOISES WHERE COMING FROM THE TIPM EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF. EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP ONCE IT WAS PUT IN PARK AND WOULDN'T UNLOCK TO TOW. THE ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY AND TRY TO RESET EVERYTHING AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I HOOKED THE BATTERY BACK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED HOWEVER THE FIRST TIME WAS IN PARK AND EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE. WAS ABLE TO RESTART W/O DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. IT IS GETTING WORSE.

CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED IN MID-2017, BUT NO CODES WERE PRESENT AND JEEP APPEARED TO RUN FINE. IN SEPT 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON I-75, THE JEEP SHUDDERED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LIGHTS HAD TURNED OFF. THEY ENDED UP SWAPPING OUT THE SPARK PLUGS AND TWO IGNITION COILS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL CODES FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SYSTEM 1 AND 2. IN OCT 2017, THE VEHICLE JUMPED/SHUDDERED AND STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND LEAVE IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES AND BASED OFF OF MY DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUES, REPLACED THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND CLEARED THE CODES. THEY SAID IF THE ISSUE CAME BACK TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE ISSUE CAME BACK WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF LEAVING THE AUTOMOTIVE GARAGE, SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY IN NOVEMBER. AFTER THAT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN AWAY, BUT WOULD COME BACK ON SPORADICALLY. THE JEEP WAS STILL SHUDDERING/JUMPING AND WOULD THEN COMPLETELY STOP AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM NOTIFICATION, STILL. I JUST TOOK IT TO ANOTHER GARAGE (ARIL 2018), SINCE THE PREVIOUS TWO HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. AT THIS POINT I WAS STILL PULLING THROTTLE POSITION 1 AND 2 CODES. THIS GARAGE REPLACED THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY AND RAN A FUEL INJECTION SERVICE. WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF ME DRIVING AWAY FROM THAT GARAGE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY A SOFTER SHUDDER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT. I TRIED TO PULL CODES WHEN I GOT HOME, BUT THERE WERE NONE--BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ARE STILL ON.

THE JEEP STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL CONTINUES. LAST WEEK MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME, AND AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP, AGAIN! IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE HEATER ON MY JEEP, WHICH ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT, SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THE CALLED LATER THAT DAY AND SAID I NEED A NEW HEATER CORE WHICH COSTS $1200. THE NEXT DAY THE CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT I ACTUALLY NEED A NEW HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, ETC. BASICALLY THE WHOLE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE ENGINE AND THE ESTIMATE IS UP TO $2200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT SENDS PARTICLES THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND CLOGS THE HEATER CORE. I'M HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I CAN RECOUP SOME OF THIS $2200 THAT I'M ABOUT TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX MY JEEP. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT APPARENTLY!

2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC IS BETTING ON THE FACT THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON FILLING OUT THIS NHTSA FORM CLICKS THE 'NO ONE DIED & NO ONE GOT HURT' BUTTON SO A RECALL WILL NEVER BE ISSUED! THAT IS THEIR FIX! APPROXIMATELY TWICE A MONTH YEARS 2016 TO PRESENT, WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS AT ANY SPEED, JEEP HAS LOST SPEED QUICKLY AND HAS CONCURRENTLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE IS BOGGING DOWN. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD EACH TIME. THE JEEP HAS NEVER TURNED OFF NOR STALLED. THE PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS FIXED ITSELF AFTER A FEW MOMENTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. EACH AND EVERY TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP IN FOR SERVICE TO MY LONG TIME TRUSTED MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE NOR FIND A CODE. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE THAT I READ ABOUT PLAGUING THESE JEEP MODELS, I FEEL VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP ANYWHERE LET ALONE GO OFF INTO THE WILDERNESS OFFROADING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR STORIES ON SITES SUCH AS THIS. I CANNOT BELIEVE NOTHING, NOT ONE THING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. SHAME ON CHRYSLER FOR TURNING A BLIND EYE BUT WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR DAYS AND MONTHS KNOWING WHAT THE EXACT ISSUE IS. AGAIN, CHRYSLER IS BETTING ON THE FACT EVERYONE OF US WILL CLICK THE NHTSA BOXES THAT SAY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO ONE DIED. THAT WAY, NO RECALL WILL EVER BE ISSUED. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC HOPES YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, IF NOT, THEY WILL PUSH UNTIL YOU RUN OUT. THEN THEY BLAME RODENTS CHEWING ON WIRES ETC...LUDICROUS

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START. WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, TRYING TO GET IT IN A POSITION FOR THE WRECKER, MY WIFE TRIED TO START IT AND IT RESTARTED. WE DROVE IT HOME AND HAD A WRECKER COME GET IT BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT 20 MINUTES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FELT LIKE IS WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. I PICKED IT UP AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE AND PULLED OVER.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED 1 NOTCH TO ACCESSORY TO UNLOCK THE STEERING. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BECAUSE THE FIRE WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT. BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE FIRE DAMAGE, NO CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS DETERMINED.

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS LITTLE ABILITY TO STEER. AS SOON AS I PULLED OVER SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM THE SIDES OF THE HOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE NEAR THE FIREWALL. LUCKILY A POLICE OFFICER HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BY. HE QUICKLY PUT OUT THE FIRE USING AN EXTINGUISHER FROM HIS PATROL CAR; HAD HE NOT BEEN THERE THE CAR WOULD HAVE QUICKLY BEEN CONSUMED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS FOR MANY YEARS NOW. IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES THESE FIRES; HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE LACK OF STEERING ABILITY COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN THE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF NOT JUST ME BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED WRONG... MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CASTING SAND INTO MY COOLANT SYSTEM WHICH THEN BLOWS OUT MY HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I HAVE SPENT 5 MONTHS UNDER WARRENTY TRYING TO FIX WITH ISSUE BUT THE JEEP DEALER AND CHRYSLER GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND. I WAS TRYING TO GET THIS FIX UNDER WARRENTY BUT ALL THE RUN AROUND I GOT FROM THE DEALERS HAS CAUSED MY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE WITH NO FIX. I THINK I HAVE BOUGHT A LAMON OF A CAR I ONLY HAVE 14K MILES , MY ISSUE STARTED AT 7K MILES. NOW IT IS WINTER TIME AND IN DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO HEAT. I HAVE A NEW BORN BABY ON THE WAY WHO WILL GET SICK INSIDE MY CAR. JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR ALSO A COMPLETE FLUSH OF THIS SAND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS A HAZARD FOR ME AND MY BABY TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS COLD VEHICLE . THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT JEEP\CHRYSLER IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO KEEP THIS QUIET. ILL BE TRYING TO CONTACT A LAWYER SOON OR MAYBE A NEWS STATION.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM THE BEGINNING. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ON THIS WEBSITE BY SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, ACCELERATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND TOLD ME IT WAS GOOD TO GO AND COME PICK IT UP. FIVE MINUTES AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK, THEY REPLACED SOME OTHER PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WAS READY. PICKED IT UP AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES BOTH LIGHTS WERE BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, I WAITED THIS TIME, THEY SAID THOSE CODES WERE GONE ALTHOUGH A NEW CODE WAS NOW SHOWING UP. TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE IT AND THEY WOULD ORDER ME ANOTHER COMPUTER. YESTERDAY, WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE MOVIE THEATER A BELL STARTED GOING OFF, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, SWAY BAR LIGHT CAME ON, ALL OF THE GEAR POSITION LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN UP TO ABOUT 6000 RPMS. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I MADE IT HOME AND A WRECKER PICKED IT UP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY THINK IT IS THIS TIME.

THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 30 TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN REGULARLY AND AFTER SHOWING THEM 2 VIDEOS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW AT 47000 MILES MY WARRANTY IS GONE AND THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG REMAINED ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED OR ARE SEPARATE, BUT NOW IT KIND OF "SPUTTERS AND PUT-PUTS" WHEN ITS IN PARK AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP WANTS $150.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE FAULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE; IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD, IS GARAGE KEPT, AND NOT USED EVERYDAY.

THE (RHD) VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL (SKID) LIGHT COME ON REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON DRY ROADS AND WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW SPEED. WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO GAIN SPEED AND IF YOU LET OFF GAS IT JERKS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. I RECENTLY HAD THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACED COSTING MYSELF OVER $600 AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE MADE A STOP AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE AND THIS JEEP DIED AND STARTED RIGHT BACK. OCCASIONALLY THE GASCAP LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. ANOTHER STRANGE THING THAT HAPPENS A LOT IS THE TEMPERATURE ON DASH IS SET TO FAHRENHEIT, BUT OFTEN I HAVE TO CHANGE IT BACK BECAUSE I WILL LOOK AND ITS SHOWING CELSIUS. THE MOST RECENT THING THAT HAPPENED SCARED EVEN MY CHILDREN. I HAD JUST TOOK OFF AT A 4-WAY INTERSECTION ON HIGHWAY AND WHILE GAINING SPEED WITH NO LIGHTS ON, I REACHED ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT JUST JERKED AS HARD AS IT COULD AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON CAUSING US TO ALMOST GET RUN OVER BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND US GAINING SPEED BECAUSE WE WERE BEING SLOWED DOWN BY THIS EVENT. THIS IS BY FAR THE STRANGEST VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED, SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO LIGHTS, SOMETIMES JUST CHECK ENGINE OR GASCAP LIGHT IS ON, AND SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME.

I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM JEEP AROUND DECEMBER STATING RECALL N28 WOULD AFFECT MY JEEP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING LINE WILL RUB THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID. I NOTICED ON DECEMBER 18TH THAT MY JEEP WAS IN FACT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID SO I CALLED THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP TO ME, GWINNETT JEEP IN STONE MOUNTAIN GEORGIA, AND TOOK MY VEHICLE THERE ON DECEMBER 19TH. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER UNIT WAS LEAKING, WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS ODD SINCE THIS JEEP IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP LATER CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME A DIFFERENT STORY STATING A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE WAS LEAKING AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THAN WAS LISTED IN RECALL N28. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEIR STORY SINCE THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER UNIT WAS FAULTY. THE BILL WAS 503 DOLLARS. I AM E-MAILING YOU BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE OF RECALL N28 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME. THIS IS A CLASSIC "DOUBLE DIP" WHERE THE DEALERSHIP COLLECTS MONEY FROM FROM CORPORATE FOR THE RECALL AND THEN COLLECTS MONEY FROM THE CUSTOMER. THIS DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE UNDER INVESTIGATION AND AUDITED BECAUSE I AM MORE THAN CERTAIN THAT PEOPLE HAVE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT IN VEHICLES TO GWINNETT JEEP FOR RECALL ISSUES AND THEN THEY CHARGED INNOCENT CUSTOMERS ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR "ISSUES" WITH DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THEIR REVIEWS AND THERE WAS A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH A JEEP PERTAINING TO A DIFFERENT RECALL. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE. I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT AND I ALSO WORK FULL TIME, SO MY TIME AND MONEY MEAN A LOT TO ME. A ROUTINE RECALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE OF CHARGE ENDED UP COSTING ME OVER 500 DOLLARS. *JS

VEHICLE STOPPED GETTING HEAT FROM ALL VENTS ON DRIVERS SIDE, INCLUDING DEFROSTER AND ONLY LUKE WARM HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. DEALER SAYS RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE FILLED WITH 'SLUDGE'. A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ALL TO COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS AND CHRYSLER HAS GIVEN NO ANSWER AS TO THE CAUSE. WHILE NOT HAVING HEAT IS INCONVENIENT, NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THEY ARE CURRENTLY FIGHTING ME ON PAYING FOR THIS AS THE VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS AN ISSUE CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX!

THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES. UPON PULLING UP TO THE STOP LIGHT, SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD THEN VENTILATION. AFTER GETTING KIDS OUT OF THE CAR, I USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ONCE THE EXTINGUISHER WAS EXHAUSTED, THERE WAS STILL SMOKE AND SMALL FLAMES. AT THIS POINT, THERE WERE FLAMING PIECES DROPPING FROM UNDERNEATH. I THEN GOT SAFELY AWAY AND WAITED UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THE FIRE WAS SIGNIFICANT.

THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID ONE OF THE CYLINDERS MISFIRED, BUT IT WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE, SO THEY RESET THE SOFTWARE AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, SO I TOOK MY JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME CYLINDER NUMBER 2 MISFIRED AND THEY TOLD ME THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID MY JEEP WILL BE READY TOMORROW. *TR

I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET MY NAME PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME MY NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP. EVERYONE HAS RESORTED TO VERY UN-PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR IN LIGHT OF THE INCIDENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE GROUP, BUT AM BECOMING VERY UN-PATIENT IN THE SITUATION. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME IT COULD BE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I WOULD BE MORE UNDERSTANDING IF I KNEW MY NAME WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY PLACED ON THE LIST, BUT I KNOW THAT I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT DOING SO. THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HAVING THIS UNSAFE SITUATION RESOLVED. *TR

2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT; 1ST INCIDENT WITH HOT OIL MESSAGE, RESULTED IN DEALERSHIP FIXING THE RECALL THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD PARTS FOR (THAT WERE ON BACK ORDER FOR MONTHS-AND FOR A RECALL). WHEN I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I HAD A CASE ID WITH CHRYSLER, THEY CHANGED THEIR TUNE AND HAD THE PART(S). THIS WAS AT 26000 MILES. 2ND INCIDENT: I HAD DRIVEN TO NY FROM SC WITH NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. NEXT DAY, COLD START, HOT OIL WARNING. TOOK TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY "CLEARED THE ERROR" STATING THERE WAS NO APPARENT CAUSE AND THEY "DIDN'T KNOW WHY" THE ERROR OCCURRED. 3RD INCIDENT: CALLED DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM AND TOLD THE GUY (WHOM I KNOW BY NAME) THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, "HOT OIL MESSAGE." HE STATED, "HOT OIL MESSAGE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" REALLY??? HE WAS CLEARLY LYING, AND I KNEW RIGHT THEN HE WAS OF NO HELP TO ME. SO, I WENT TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER IN A TOWN 15 MINUTES AWAY WHERE I HAD MOVED TO AS IT WAS CLOSER ANYWAY...LETTING THE LIAR-PART GO, THINKING THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WOULD SURELY DO THE RIGHT THING. THIS IS AT 34000 MI. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY JEEP CURRENTLY AND TOLD ME TODAY THAT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM WROTE "ADDED COMPUTER TO JEEP," AS THE SUPPOSED FIX FOR THE ORIGINAL ISSUE (RECALL). THE GUY AT THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE COMPUTER WOULDN'T EVEN "TALK" TO HIM SO HE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNTIL HE FIGURES OUT HOW TO GET THE 1ST COMPUTER TO "TALK" TO HIM SO HE CAN GET TO THE 2ND COMPUTER AND TRY TO DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2ND COMPUTER. GOT A CALL THIS AFTERNOON THAT IT WAS DRIVEN AROUND TOWN WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER CLEARING THE ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN. AWAITING FINAL RESULTS NOW. I'M 2000 MILES AWAY FROM BEING OUT OF WARRANTY.

JEEP ISSUED RECALL N28 ON JUNE 4, 2013. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN A REPAIR DESPITE ATTEMPTS AT TWO DEALERSHIPS (SALERNO DUANE AND NIELSEN DODGE) TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. AS OF A PHONE CALL TODAY (MARCH 13, 2014) WITH THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, CHRYLSER IS SAYING THAT THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWING 1-3 PARTS TO BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS PER WEEK. THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NIESLEN DODGE) HAS CONFIRMED THIS TODAY VIA EMAIL AND SAYS IT MAY BE UP TO SIX MONTHS BEFORE THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNDER RECALL N28. AT THAT RATE, IT WILL BE LONGER THAN 1 YEAR FROM WHEN RECALL N28 WAS ISSUED TO WHEN THE REPAIR TAKES PLACE (ASSUMING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BY THEN). THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

RECEIVED THE RECALL SAFETY NOTICE AND BROUGHT THE JEEP INTO FIELDS IN GLENCOE, IL. WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND THE PART STILL IS NOT IN. CALLED TO CHECK AND THEY SAY THAT ONLY ONE PART GETS SENT EVERY 14 DAYS AND PEOPLE SINCE AUGUST HAVE BEEN WAITING. I'M NOW #100 ON THE LIST. IF I DO THE MATH CORRECT IN 4 YEARS I'LL GET THE PART. HELLO? IS ANYONE OUT THERE? SAFETY RECALL!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE SENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MAYBE THEY SHOULD GO TO A DIFFERENT PROVIDER. *TR

WAS TOLD IN THE FALL THE RECALL NEEDED TO BE DONE--OCTOBER. THE DEALER, JIM CLICK JEEP ALLEGEDLY PUT ME ON THE LIST.

AFTER COMMUTE OF 35 - 40 MINUTES FROM WORK I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND CLOSED THE DOOR DOWN FOR THE NIGHT AS USUAL AND WENT INSIDE .

I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT AND FOUND THE STARTER ON THE JEEP WAS SPINNING ON ITS OWN. MY WIFE NOTICED SMOKE AND THEN FLAMES UNDER JEEP. I MANAGED TO GET JEEP OUT OF GARAGE AND FIRE PUT OUT AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE FIRE WAS BASICALLY CONTAINED TO THE AREA AROUND THE STARTER AND RELATED WIRING/HOSES. THE JEEP DEALER PICKED UP THE JEEP AND HAS IT NOW. I CONTACTED JEEP FACTORY CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE REP WITH THE SPECIFICS OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS TOLD MY FILE WOULD BE TURNED OVER TO THE "SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS" DEPARTMENT.

AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 FROM CHRYSLER, I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) REQUESTING TO GET THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE SERVICED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED (1) AT A TIME WITH AT LEAST (7) DAYS BETWEEN ORDERS. AS A RESULT, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE SERVICED FOR 20+ WEEKS, PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY DURING THIS TIME. WHILE I UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, THIS SYSTEMS FAILURE MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE (SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE) IN THE MAIL, I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (CLEAR LAKE DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP, HOUSTON, TX) TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO REMEDY THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM EXPLAINED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS DEALERSHIP IS ONLY RECEIVING APPROX. 1 - 2 OF THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THIS PROBLEM PER WEEK AND THEY HAVE A LIST OF CUSTOMERS FOR THOSE PARTS ALREADY LONG ENOUGH THAT WILL TAKE APPROX. A YEAR TO FILL. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP APPROX. ONCE A WEEK AND SEE IF THEY, BY ANY CHANCE, RECEIVED ENOUGH OF THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE! I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT A YEAR TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED AND FEEL THAT I (NOR ANYONE ELSE) SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG TO GET A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE TAKEN CARE OF. ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS FOR ME? WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY VEHICLE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY? I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF AND RISK THE POSSIBILITY OF THE PROBLEM MATERIALIZING AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD RESULT IN MY VEHICLE BEING DESTROYED OR, EVEN WORSE, INJURING MYSELF OR OTHERS!

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AFTER CLEARING SNOW FROM MY VEHICLE...THERE REMAINED A LARGE PIECE OF ICE THAT WOULD NOT READILY DISENGAGE FROM JEEP WHILE TRYING TO CLEAR SNOW AND ICE. THE HOOD HAS A DEEP WELL IN THE SHAPE OF A HORSE SHOE ...THE DESIGN IS A FLAW (REPLICATED FROM ANOTHER DESIGN FROM AEV BUT WHEN PUT INTO PRODUCTION THEY LEFT OUT DRAINAGE DESIGN) BECAUSE WATER ACCUMULATES ON THE HOOD WHILE WARM AND DRIVING IN SNOW ETC...WHEN SHUT DOWN THE WATER THAT REMAINS ON THE HOOD REFREEZES AND CAN NOT BE REMOVED UNLESS YOU CARE ABOUT DAMAGING THE PAINT BY FORCEFULLY CHISELING IT AWAY. LONG STORY SHORT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD SEE THAT THE ENGINE HEAT WAS MELTING THE ICE PANEL AND SURE ENOUGH IT FLEW UP AND OVER MY WINDSHIELD NOT WITHOUT SMASHING THE HEADER OF MY WINDSHIELD AND THEN NEAR MISSING THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN BACK OF ME. THE DESIGN WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE THIS I CAN SAY WITHOUT HESITATION. IF CHRYSLER HAD CHOSE THE OPTION TO VENT THE WATER OUT OF THE HOOD THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT. NOW EVERY WINTER I PRAY THAT I AM NOT TRAVELING DURING HEAVY NEW ENGLAND WEATHER BECAUSE THIS ISSUE WILL REPEAT ITSELF AS MANY TIMES AS WE GET SNOW. *TR

I HAD TOTAL SHUTDOWN BUT WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP AND TOLD ME THAT MY ASD 25 AMP FUSE HAD BLOWN BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. MY JEEP RAN OKAY FOR MUCH OF THE DAY BUT BY NIGHT IT BLEW ANOTHER FUSE AS I ACCELERATED FROM A GREEN LIGHT AND INTO THE INTERSECTION. I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER 25 AMP FUSE BUT FEAR THAT IF I PUT A 30 AMP IN THAT IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR A BURN OUT BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT HOME. I DROVE BACK HOME (AN HOUR DRIVE UP AND DOWN HILLS) AND IT SEEMED TO ALWAYS WANT TO RAMP UP THE RPMS SUDDENLY. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS KINDA ISSUE?

I EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY 2012 JEEP SAHARA. AFTER ACCELERATING AND PASSING ANOTHER CAR WHILE DRIVING, I LIFTED OFF THE ACCELERATOR, BUT MY JEEP CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE ACCELERATOR, THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES IN CASE THE SPEED CONTROL SOMEHOW ENGAGED. I THEN TRIED TO SEE IF I COULD LIFT THE ACCELERATOR FROM BELOW WITH MY FOOT, BUT IT WASN'T DEPRESSED. THE JEEP WAS CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE AND AT THIS POINT I WAS GOING WELL OVER 80 MPH. FINALLY I WAS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH AND TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR. I QUICKLY SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AS THE REVS WENT THROUGH THE ROOF. I COASTED ONTO A SIDE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY JEEP, BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION AND REMOVED THE KEY, PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND TURNED THE IGNITION AT WHICH POINT IT TURNED OVER AND AFTER ABOUT 5 OR 6 SECS IT FINALLY RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I CHECKED AROUND THE ACCELERATOR AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURELY IN PLACE AND THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND THE ACCELERATOR TO CAUSE IT TO STICK. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE AND AM 110% SURE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. MY FEET WERE COMPLETELY OFF ANY OF THE PEDDLES WHILE THE JEEP CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND AS I HAD A CLEAR ROAD AHEAD OF ME, I VERY METHODICALLY AND CALMLY TOOK THE ACTIONS I OUTLINED ABOVE IN THE ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE ENGINE SPEED WITH NO AFFECT UNTIL I FINALLY HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN. *TR

REALLY HAVE 3 ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST IS THAT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO TICK NOTICEABLY AT AROUND 5000 MILES, SOUND DEFINITELY COMING FROM #2 CYLINDER. WAS INITIALLY TOLD NOT TO WORRY, NOISE WAS NORMAL, ODDLY IT DID NOT TICK PREVIOUSLY. THE SHORT STORY IS THAT IT SET A P0302 CODE AT AROUND 12,000 MILES. CHRYSLER DID NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL AND THE DEALER WAS LESS THAN CORDIAL. THEY PUT THE THING BACK TOGETHER AND DAMAGED AN EMISSIONS VALVE, SO MORE DELAY. GET THE VEHICLE BACK, RAN SILENT FOR 2,000 MILES, THE TICK IS BACK. NOW AT 19,000, NO CODE YET, BUT I FEAR ITS COMING. PROBLEM #2, EXHAUST SMELL, GET IT NEARLY ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY UNDER LOAD, NO RESOLUTION YET. PROBLEM #3, WET CARPET ON DRIVERS SIDE, NO RESOLUTION YET. OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION, THERE IS A FOURTH, I HAVE JUST INSTALLED THE THIRD WINDSHIELD IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. ITS NOT THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS, ITS THE STEEP ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY A WRANGLER. I HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO US BRANDS, THIS IS OUR 32ND NEW VEHICLE, WON'T BY A WRANGLER AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT IN NOVEMBER 2011. IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2012 WHEN MY WIPERS WOULD TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN OFF AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES DURING THE SUMMER. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO WOULD JUST POWER OFF. THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD COME BACK ON WAS TO HIT THE TOP OF THE DASH AND IT POWERED BACK ON. TOOK IT IN AND THEY FLASHED A MODULE WHICH STOPPED THE WIPER ISSUE BUT NOT THE RADIO PROBLEM. THIS WAS JULY 2012. AFTER THAT IN SAME MONTH, I NOTICED AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOLID. TOOK IT IN, THEY RESET IT SAYING IT WAS A CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE. PEOPLE ON WRANGLERFORUMS.COM WERE TALKING ABOUT IT TOO (SEE JK SECTION AND LOOK FOR "TICKING PENTASTAR" THREAD). IT WAS THE BIGGEST THREAD ACTUALLY. APPARENTLY, OVER A HUNDRED OWNERS ON JUST THIS SITE ALONE HAD TO HAVE THEIR HEAD REPLACED. WTF? THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A COUPLE DAYS LATER SO I TOOK IT BACK IN. THEY CONFIRMED THE SAME RESULT AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW HEAD. THE LOCAL DEALER HERE IN SAVANNAH (HOOVER) TOLD ME IT WAS IN. TOOK IN THE JEEP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 DAYS. BIG LIE. AFTER 3 DAYS, I CALLED TO GET STATUS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 2-3 WEEKS!!! THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME WITH SAME ISSUE AND ONLY ONE GUY FIXING THEM. WITH A MAJOR ISSUE LIKE THIS ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, THIS CALLS FOR A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. I GET SMALL GLITCHES HAPPENING BUT A NEW HEAD??? THEY DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE 2013'S SO THIS WILL LIKELY BE A HUGE HEADACHE FOR JEEP. BE WARNED!!!! *TR

THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A LOUD TICKING NOISE STARTING AT ABOUT 1000 MILES. THE TICKING IS LOUDER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE NORMAL VALVETRAIN RELATED NOISE. WITH REPORTS OF BAD PENTASTAR V6 HEADS MAKING IT INTO PRODUCTION JEEP WRANGLERS, I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS FOR ANALYSIS. BOTH DEALERS SAID THAT THEY THINK THE NOISE IS NORMAL, BUT DID ADMIT THEY COULD HEAR THE LOUD TICKING. MILEAGE HAS BEEN DROPPING AND THE ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE AFFECTED ANYTHING. *TR

NOTICED A VERY PROMINENT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE OF ENGINE. OCCURS AT IDLE AND GETS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN INCREASING SPEED WHILE IN PARK. NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND JEEP SPENT THREE DAYS AT DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO HAD 23 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TOLD ME WHEN HE HEARD IT THAT IT DEFINITELY WAS A LIFTER PROBLEM. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP AND RECEIVED A CLAIM NUMBER. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE PENTASTAR ENGINES MADE A LOUD TICKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THIS WAS A NORMAL VARIANT. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IN THE DESIGN OF THE LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THEY ALL MADE THIS NOISE. AFTER MUCH TALKING BETWEEN CHRYSLER CORP AND THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD TO COME AND PICK UP MY JEEP, NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A DODGE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PENTASTAR ENGINES ARE HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE LEFT HEAD AND CAM PHASER ARE GOING OUT... I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE WILL CATCH FIRE OR STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

ENGINE TICKING COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK IT TO ONE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE TICK. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ACT. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT REPAIRS WERE ON HOLD. TOOK IT BACK TO THAT DEALER AND SERVICE EMPLOYEE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM. TICKING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND ENGINE POWER IS DECREASING. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE CYLINDER HEAD TICKING NOISE THAT 2012 PENTASTAR BASED JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE. CHRYSLER HAS EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE AND MAKES YOU RUN THROUGH HOOPS TO GET RESOLVE. THIS IS THE POTENTIAL CAUSE OF FIRES AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND REFUSE TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A HAZARD TO ALL OWNERS AND SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAD BOUGHT MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 2200 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 3000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED AFTER THE OIL CHANGE I HEARD A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I DROVE IT AROUND THINKING IT MIGHT GO AWAY UNTIL AFTER 1000 MILES IT DID NOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUNE 15TH AT 9:00 IN THE MORNING AND SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC, MANAGER, AND MY SALESPERSON SAID, SINCE IT HAD ONLY BEEN A FEW WEEKS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY HAD 4 JEEPS IN THERE THEY HAD TO DO REPAIRS ON WITH THE NO.2 CYLINDER. HE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY UNTIL IT THREW A CODE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AT YOUTUBE AND FORUMS, AND MY CASE IS NOT THE ONLY CASE. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THESE NEW 2012 JEEPS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THIS PENTASTAR ENGINE THAT CHRYSLER HAS RELEASED FOR 2012. *JB

MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2-DOOR WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: 1) VALVE TRAIN TICKING NOISE. THIS DEVELOPED AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP (BOUGHT NOVEMBER 2011) 2) SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. IT DOES IMPROVE AS VEHICLE IS WARMED UP AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 5-10 MINUTES, AND BY THEN THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO OPERATE NORMAL. 3) I SOMETIMES FEEL A THUD OR VIBRATION COMING UP FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. IT ALMOST FEELS AS SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE FRONT-END. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. THIS STARTED HAPPENING JUST RECENTLY. I AM GOING TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHEN I TAKE IT FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. *TR

ENGINE DEVELOPED A TICKING SOUND ON DRIVER'S SIDE ENGINE BAY. SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE IS MISSING OR TAPPING ON DRIVER'S SIDE. LOSS OF POWER/STALLS MORE COMMON NOW. TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THAT MY ENGINE IS JUST "LOUD" COMPARED TO ALL OTHER 2012'S AND THAT IT'S NORMAL. THEY TOLD ME TO JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL IT FAILS AND THEN BRING IT BACK IN BECAUSE CHRYSLER CORPORATE WILL NOT ALLOW A DEALERSHIP TO WORK ON THE ENGINE AND FIX IT UNTIL A FAILURE OCCURS. SO, NOW I AM STUCK WITH A 3 MONTH OLD 2012 WRANGLER WAITING FOR IT TO BREAKDOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THE KNOWN ISSUE. MECHANIC SAYS "THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT" WHEN I TOOK IT IN. MIND YOU I TOOK THE WRANGLER INTO TWO DEALERSHIPS AT THIS POINT FOR MULTIPLE OPINIONS. BOTH AGREE THE JEEP WILL FAIL AND TO JUST "WAIT" UNTIL IT DOES BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD BY CHRYSLER TO NOT WORK ON FAULTY WRANGLERS WITH THE NEW PENTASTAR ENGINE UNTIL THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILS. REAL PROACTIVE ON THAT DECISION CHRYSLER. I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY POWER IS LOST WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR CROSSING TRAIN TRACKS. THANKS A LOT FOR PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK OVER A KNOWN ISSUE YET NOT ACTING ON THE KNOWN FIX. BOTH DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THEY KNOW HEADS ARE BEING REPLACED WHEN THIS SYMPTOM IS FOUND ON 2012 WRANGLERS. THAT'S ALL I'M LOOKING FOR, FIX WHAT WAS NOT BUILT CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE LIKE OTHERS. *TR

ENGINE HAS TICKING SOUND FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND CONTINUES TO. CHRYSLER AND JEEP COMPLAIN THIS TICKING IS "NORMAL VALVE NOISE". BUT, I HAVE HEARD OTHER ENGINES OF THE SAME YEAR AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS SOUND. IT APPEARS TO AFFECT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE FROM RESEARCH AS WELL. ENGINE ALSO FEELS LIKE IT STUTTERS WHEN REVERSING. *TR
