2015 JEEP WRANGLER Engine Problems

Our 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited just caught on fire. I happened to be in my daughter’s bedroom, 20 feet away from where the Jeep was parked. I thought I was seeing flames reflecting from the TV, but I realized that they were real. My next thought was that my husband was building a firepit fire. I thought that was weird because he was doing it in the front yard, but I didn’t think any more about it because I was so focused on my work. I went back to work for a second, but something told me to look again. I did, and then realized that it was the Jeep that was on fire. I screamed for my husband, but couldn’t find him; I was scared that he was in the Jeep. Actually, he had been in the back yard and heard me screaming, so he ran up front to see what was happening. I called 911 while my husband tried to put the fire out with the water hose, which didn’t help- the flames kept getting higher. It took firefighters a while to extinguish the flames and to get it cooled off. The engine appears to be melted. It is in our yard and available for inspection. The fire fighters made a report that my husband has requested. We’re waiting on the insurance company to contact us. The fire smelled electrical. We smelled no gasoline. I was absolutely horrified thinking about what might have happened if it had ignited at night when no one was looking. My daughter, my pets, my husband, and I could have all been casualties of this spontaneous fire. The fact that it was day time, the unusual coincidence that I was where I was so that I saw the fire, and the fact that my husband parked on a different side of the yard than usual, all probably are the reasons we are alive today. Had any one of those events not been in play, it could have been a very different outcome. My husband had no indication that there was a problem with the Jeep. He’d just driven it. He reported no odors and no problems at all. He takes excellent care of it, so it was in great condition.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at 40-50 MPH on the highway far right lane, several unknown warning lights illuminated as smoke was coming from under the hood. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal felt as if the friction was lost against her foot, and the accelerator pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard as the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact immediately pulled over to the side of the highway, turned off the vehicle, opened the front driver's side door, and noticed smoke and flames coming from beneath the vehicle. The fire department was notified and extinguished the fire. A fire department report was filed. No physical injuries were sustained; however, the contact stated she sustained emotional distress. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was being stored at the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,934.

2015 Jeep Wrangler with 3.6l Pentastar Engine having repeated engine failures associated with the use of possibly defective repair parts / defective cylinder head repairs / recurring cylinder 6 misfire alerts..

I am having my oil cooler housing replaced once again after having replaced only 4 years ago. I am on my 3rd radiatior and 3 thermostat. This jeep is not driven hard or offroad and has been maintained in excellent condition. This engine is junk and not safe. I have not had warning lights only oil drippings in the driveway yet the oil level doesnt seem to change. If not caught this will cause your engine to lock up.

On a trip on 7/3/2025 out of state the engine failed due to a blown head gasket , which is the third engine related problem I have experienced . Other issues include: Broken exhaust valve spring, cracked oil filter housing. With being the original owner and having only 84,000 miles I feel this has to be an issue Jeep is having with my engine 3.6 Liter V6. I am lodging a formal complaint to hopefully, have help with the $11,000 quoted price to replace my engine. Thank you

The component that is failing is unknown. Unknown to mechanics because a code is not thrown. I can be driving in my neighborhood, on the highway or coasting and my Jeep stalls. Everything else is working, radio, heater just the rpm goes to zero. I have to quick turn on my hazards and prey I can coast to safety. Once out of traffics way and I am in park my car will restart no problem. my safety is at risk because it will happen on the highway. My mechanic has checked all the sensors, fuel pump and filter, battery cables, alternator you name it its been checked or replaced. I have read Jeep forums to see what others are saying and there are over 100 other jeeps that have this same problem. People are spending thousands of dollars to change out computers several times for it to keep happening and jeep has no answers. It first happened two years ago, then about one time 6 months later and then 6 months are that it happened again. But recently its been happening everyday. No matter it I am coasting, on the highway or in my local area it will stall. No warning lights no engine lights just no response in the gas peddle when it stalls. This is going to be super dangerous if other jeeps keep stalling on the highways. Check out forums it happens all the time. Jeep dealers just want to keep changing sensors for 200 here and there.

Ticking noise in engine from lifters and faulty pin. Potential failure for cams.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who determined that there was a misfire in cylinders #1 and #2, and the right intake valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle remained at the dealer and had not been driven since. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,096.

So I was driving into work on the interstate yesterday around 10am, and my jeep started to die out of nowhere. I almost got in a wreck. I was able to pull over on the side, and the engine light came on and I took it straight to the auto mechanic. I guess my oil filter housing unit is bad and is causing my oil to leak. The auto mechanic said this is a KNOWN issue in the design flaws of Crysler vehicles including my jeep wrangler with the 3.6L engines. This could have gone much worst for me, and after doing some more research this is happening in their 3.6L Engines and is a confirmed design flaw. The issue is reported to affect vehicles with the Pentastar V6 engine, including models like the Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Charger, from around 2013 to 2021. They are saying it's not a safety issue, yet I almost caused an accident as my jeep started to die while driving 70 mph. This needs to be recalled asap!!! It more than likely has already caused accidents.

Lack of oil in the heads after sitting for a while results in dry valve train at start up and over time results in premature failure of hydraulic lifters not pumping up and rocker arms and cams being dry until oil reaching these parts.

Same problem that I'm having is happening to thousands of people. People are either swapping engines ($20k+) or fixing for ($5k+)Sand debris left in 3.6 engine at time of manufacturing that causes cooling system repair and eventually engine head replacement because of misfire warning. My jeep has 60k miles. Have already replace radiator 2 years ago and now I'm getting misfire on cylinder 2. Ran compression test on cylinder 2 . Only 80 psi showing on gauge compared to 150 psi in the other cylinders. Head is bad. There has been a extended warranty on older jeeps with same engine to fix the issue but, not for 2014 and up. Which makes no sense. PLEASE HELP

OPEN ENGINE BLOCK, LIFTER, SPRING, MANY SMALL PIECES

The radiator is poorly built and leaks, I have had mine replace several times by the dealership This is dangerous because it causes overheating in the engine which can cause hose to bust and engine to seize up . The oil filter house is engineered incorrect and all of them have been breaking causing oil to leak which again, ruins other components in the engine because of loss of oil. Its dangerous because the oil that leaks down through the outer portion of the engine, through to the sides and leaks over the bottom of the transmission onto the ground which is: 1. Environmental hazard- oil leaking causes water pollution, soil contamination, harm to animals and plants 2. Leaking oil is a FIRE HAZARD and safety issues for other vehicles causing slippery conditions for other vehicles 3. Causes engine damage and eventually failure I urge you to obtain the records of all the repairs jeep dealers did both under warranty and past the warranty dates. Your team will see what an issue this is and the 10000000s of Jeep Wranglers that have had these unsafe problems with the OIL Filter Housing and Radiator issues during and after the warranty. Jeep / Chrysler have created a deceptive way for revenue by allowing Jeep dealers to charge the customers for faulty engineering so they can gain profits in repairs that is the Manufacturer's own fault thereby gouging Jeep Wrangler owners.

while driving at an 50 MPH speed, the check engine warning light illuminated and flashing continuously. The vehicle was not in drivable condition since it was unusually vibrating while either standing or driving at very low speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that there was a cylinder #2 misfire, and that the valve, cylinder head or crack on the casting causing this issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Cylinder 4 misfire

2015 original owner, developed misfire cylinder #4 P0304, replaced coils, plugs, injectors, harness on that side. Misfire still present, noted others have reported issues with cylinder head (valves, cams, rockers). Engine has a slight tick, found no recalls on NHTSA site except for 2014 versions with same engine for this exact issue.

The engine has a known failure causing a cylinder misfire that is resolved by replacing the cylinder heads. This is a known issue to FCA and caused an extension of the powertrain warranty for the 2010-2014 models but does not cover later engines, that are still experiencing the same issues. The covered years needs to be extended to 2018 or beyond and all out-of-pocket repair costs should be refunded to the consumer.

My Jeep has the pentastar 3.6l engine and has recently developed what is known as the “pentastar tick”. This is caused by a design flaw with the valvetrain, specifically the lifters/rocker arms that causes excessive wear which leads to the tick, which may then lead to engine failure and loss of control. This is a very common problem with the 3.6 engine and FCA should be held responsible for the safety recall. FCA has already acknowledged the problem on 2012-2014 engines, and extended the warranty, but not on the later engines. Please look out for the consumer and hold them accountable.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the contact was unsure about the diagnostic result. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving and all the dash board lights came on and it started warning beepings then it would not go over 35mph The ABS module was affected because it has a defective eyelet in the TIPM Module wiring connector that allows water to seep in I had a level 2 system testing done to find the defect. Jeep is aware of the problem because when I tried to order a new ABS module I was told it was not available because they are re-engineering it.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle jerked. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, and was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a coil pack failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several different independent mechanics however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with leakage on the left cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered Technical Service Bulletin: 09-002-14; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

Check engine light came on for misfire in Cylinder 4. Jeep lost power when on the road

The traction control light and ABS dash lights will come on and the vehicle will jerk and bog down while driving. It is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. I looked on jeep forum to see if I could see what's going on with it and there were a bunch of jeeps that have the same problem.

Cranked my vehicle from a cold start and it started running very rough. Had a mechanic put a code scanner on it and it read cylinder #2 misfire. I have been told this is very problematic with the 3.6 pentastar engine and a costly repair. If this is a factory defect I would like to be informed about any and all considerations to which I am entitled to. Thank you very much.

1. driving speeds of 60+ mph my hood lifts up. pull over to double check hood latches- take to CAWOOD in PORT HURON sold jeep. (A) don't worry it a JEEP don't WORRY it is latched.

WHY NO HELP CRYSLER JEEP!

I have just replaced the Engine oil filter housing on my 2015 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon for the fourth time the first three replacements were at East hills jeep on Long Island n.y the fourth repair was at Willis ave repair and diagnostic in Albertson N.Y at a cost of $859.33. Ongoing problem with thousands of other jeeps owners reporting the same issue. during the course of these breakdowns, I’ve had to have my vehicle towed to the repair place twice as the oil had drained out of the vehicle causing fatigue and overheating to the engine. I currently has 95,000 miles on my jeep witch is well taken care of and serviced at the East hills jeep dealership. My concern is future damage to my engine due to the extreme temperatures caused by the lack of oil and overheating due to this defect. How is it that the manufacturer is not held responsible for an obvious defect in a crucial engine component causing multiple replacements to thousands of similar vehicles.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The component that failed is the oil filter housing/assembly. It was changed out by the Pep Boys I do not have it on hand but upon research it appears that this is a known issue on the 3.6 and the 3.2 Chrysler Pentastar engines. Mopar made this part out of entirely plastic and it is now failing on a ton of vehicles. The replacement parts are all made out of metal/aluminum. Safety: this not only put myself at a safety risk but also puts other motorists on the road at risk. Not to mention the environmental safety that this can cause. The plastic part contains the oil filter for the engine. After time it warps and fails causing cracks and seal leaks that allows oil to drain out of the engine, onto the transmission manifold and all over the ground/road. There is no warning for this, one day you will walk out and find your vehicle bleeding all of its oil all over the pavement. This could happen to anyone at any time. I would hate to be on a motorcycle driving behind a Chrysler engine when their engine decides to fall apart and slick up the expressway with motor oil. Jeep/Chrysler knows that this is happening, they know it’s a problem because the replacement part is made of metal instead of plastic, and they refuse to do anything about this even under warranty. This is a part that is NEVER supposed to go bad on any cars, this is NOT a wear and tear part. I would like to see them held accountable for their (lack of) actions.

At 134,000 miles the engine developed a loud ticking. My garage reported that rocker arms, cam shafts and heads needed rrplacement. They recommended that Jeep dealer should be performing the work so that I might have a parts warranty. The dealer reported back that the work would be extensive and recommended engine replacement with a $13,000 estimate.

Faulty oil cooler. 2 different mechanics reported this as a common problem with 2015 jeep wrangler. Due to the way this model was made, the oil cooler is too close to the hot engine making it faulty. As well as the parts around it all have to be replaced. I've been told not to drive the vehicle due to fire hazard. The estimates I've been given are $1400 and up. I've also read many complaints about this same issue, same vehicle, same year, on several different web sites.

Vehicle engine light flashing while vehicle is on. Vehicle shaking, odometor and other gauges are sporadically flashing and shutting off while driving.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times while driving on a busy freeway. The failure also occurred while the vehicle was idling at a red light. After the failure, the vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable duplicate a failure or determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contacted stated that after retrieving the vehicle the failure persisted. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.

I have experience a complete loss of control of the vehicle on both highways and streets that are bumpy due to dips, potholes, rough conditions due to the road. I received a misfire on cylinder 4 code P0304 and was told my vehicle isn’t covered for any recalls, but see that this is a common issue in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017 models. I want to know if any recalls or lawsuits are going on because my dealership informed me there aren’t any and it would take a week to even be able to diagnose the issue.

My Jeep has a left cylinder head failure at 78k miles. Jeep forums are full of discussions regarding this issue. The dealer says there is no reason for the failure and that they have seen this before. Jeep says my warranty is expired so I am out of luck. This is my third Jeep and the first time I have had any issue mechanically. This failure is not from normal wear and tear. It's very frustrating that no recall on this obviously faulty engine part exists.

I had a 2015 2 dr Jeep Wrangler Willy's edition. In march 2023, after sitting cold in the driveway for 10+ hours, it spontaneously combusted. It was very obviously an electrical fire based on the smell alone. It appeared that the most damage was in the area of the battery and fuse box. Vehicle was completely totaled and I found many reports online of similar issues, including many wranglers that were completely totaled after the fire. There is no official acknowledgement of this recurring issue. The fire caught so fast, if I had not been parked in the driveway faced away from the house, I might not have a home either. Insurance did not do an investigation into the cause of the fire.

Oil filter housing assembly failed

My truck was making a loud clicking noise and kind or rattle. I took the vehicle in to be serviced. I was told that I needed to have all lifters, rockers and cams replaced. That these items being worn out is a known issue with Jeep Wranglers but there has not been a recall for this issue. The dealership replaced those items the camshaft exhaust, camshaft intake, arm valve, tappet valve lash, gasket cylinder and gasket intake. As stated by the dealership having to replace the lifters, rockers and cams is a known issue. Most people just trade the truck in. I would like to know if this is a known issue why has there not been a recall for this? Also because of the cams this caused the cylinder misfire in the engine.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled temporarily. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 141,200.

I have had the oil filter housing crack two times costing over 1 grand each time to have replaced by a shop. The lifters and rockers have gone out on each side of engine now with not even 91k miles on vehicle. Drivers side had 62,000 miles and then the passenger side had 91,000 miles on it. Maintenance has been done on time and not over due.

Oil filter housing leaking oil,build up of oil sludge on top of intake manifold,if build up persists it may cause vehicle to catch fire

Check engine light came on. Took jeep to dealership - indicated that the left side cylinder head needed replaced, not placing would cause extensive damage. The vehicle had 65779 miles on it and is in excellent condition, there was no reason for the engine to have such significant problems based on usage. Learned this is a faulty issue and that Jeep is aware of it, although no additional warranty or recall was provided. I was paid over $3,392 to get the issue diagnosed and repaired.

No crash or injuries. My Jeep only has 45,000 original miles and it is leaking oil from the oil cooler. I researched and this seems to be a very common issue with the 2015 3.6 L Jeep Wrangler. It cost over $1,500 to repair. As the other gentleman stated in his complaint, I feel this is a major issue that needs to be addressed by Jeep. See the other post below for further detail: I OWN TWO JEEP WRANGLERS, A 2013 AND A 2015. I HAD THE 2015 REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $1,000.00. NOW MY 2013 HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM; TO WIT, THE OIL COOLER/ OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKS ON CHRYSLER 3.6 ENGINES AND THE OIL IS SPREAD ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A FIRE. IF THIS IS NOT DISCOVERED, THE OIL WILL SPREAD TO THE REAR TIRES WHICH WILL CAUSE A TRACTION OR BRAKING HAZARD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT MODIFIED THE HOUSING AND WHEN YOU REPLACE , IT IS REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART THAT WILL FAIL IN THE FUTURE. CHRYSLER HAS TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS BY THE # OF UNITS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD, NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF UNITS THAT ARE SOLD ON EBAY AND AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED.

There’s a ticking sound coming from my engine and it’s misfiring in cylinder 5 and the check engine light is on. My concern is it’s the rocker arm

Our temperature gauge says it’s overheating but it’s not overheating. We’ve had the radiator replaced twice. We’ve had it at three different places to take a look at it, we had the dealership look at it and says they can’t find anything. But it keeps losing coolant. This has been going on for the last 6 to 9 months can’t drive the car more than a few miles.

My vehicle has been suddenly shutting off while I am driving. There is no warning that anything is wrong with the vehicle. The first time it happened was October 2021. When it has these failures they happen multiple times. The next day the car operates normally. There are no consistencies when this happens - it has shut off when I am driving 20mph and 60mph. There are no error messages that come up on the vehicle. I took it to Chuck Patterson and they were unable to retrieve an error code and refused to diagnose intermittent issues. They did not find any visible issues with the vehicle. I have an open case with Stellantis but they have not done anything. This issue has happened when I am driving my 2 year old nephew and is life threatening. Stellantis has not sent out anyone to inspect my vehicle. I bought the vehicle brand new special order and it has 104,000. I have not had any issues until now.

I have owned my Jeep since 2015 and bought it brand new from the dealership. I have replaced the thermostat three times already. Yesterday, 1-21-22, I was driving home on the interstate. The thermostat stuck again, would not open, and caused it to start dumping coolant out of it while driving. That caused the belt to slip and causing me to almost get into an accident trying to pull over. This Jeep has had several issues with overheating in the almost seven years I’ve had it.

2015 Jeep Wrangler 66,000 mi on it rocker arms are rattling need to be replaced it's a problem at all 2015 what I understand

I have 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 1000,15 miles on and it has the ticking noise. I took it to my independent mechanic shop. The independent mechanic diagnosed the issue and said that the tick is coming from the passenger side of the Engine .I chatted with FCA to see if they can provide any assistance on this issue they denied even if the vehicle its out of warranty therefore is has to be cover out of my pocket cost.

My 2015 Jeep Wrangler with 80,200 developed the well know Pentastar Tick. The Jeep would misfire at idle when slowing to a stop light. The check engine light came on and the code was a P0304. I'm the original owner and took it to the dealer I purchased it from. They diagnosed the issue and called me stating that he Jeep needs new rockers and a cam shaft on the drivers side engine bank. FCA has known about this issue since 2012. I called FCA to see if they would provide any assistance to repair the Jeep. FCA refused to acknowledge that this issue exists and refuses any assistance for owners even slightly out of warranty even though it is a manufacturing defect.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle started to hesitate. The contact pulled over to the far right of the roadway. The contact then turned off the vehicle and while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start-up. The contact had the vehicle towed to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the starter had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that while attempting to run the starter, the vehicle made a clunking sound and it was confirmed that the engine also failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V234000 (Steering, Power Train) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN nor the model year was included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the model year was not included. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 140,823.

Check engine light on, OBD codes P0016, P0390, P0394. Replaced camshaft and crankshaft sensors and problem still persists; limp mode up hills, and oil loss. Per MULTIPLE Jeep Wrangler forums, this is a very wide-spread Jeep phenomenon. Dealers do not know how to fix this. Jeep needs to own up to this defect.

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with the Fiat Chrysler's 3.6 liter V- 6 Pentastar engine. The Jeep has only 44,465 miles on it and now has apparent design and manufacturing defects on the engine's left side , its the Pentastar Tick. The Tick Tick Tick is very loud and the engine will shudder, its only a matter of time before the engine shuts off on the highway when I am driving causing an accident. My dealer Hollywood Chrysler Jeep estimated repairs - need left side cams and full set of rockers - oil filter housing is leaking replace - replace abs sensor - coolant flush - carbon fuel cleaning -fluids service total $6,000.07 invoice # 584685. It looks like the cylinder head, gasket, cams, lifters and rockers need to be replaced. Chrysler needs to disclose these defects. Yes my jeep is available for inspection.

APOLOGIES IF THIS COMPLAINT IS A REPEAT, BUT I KEEP GETTING A SUBMISSION ERROR NOTICE WHENEVER I TRY TO SUBMIT THIS FORM. THE JEEP 4.0 LITER SIX CYLINDER ENGINE HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE ROCKER ARM BEARINGS THAT CAUSES A LOUD TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND FAILURE OF THE EXHAUST AND INTAKE CAMSHAFTS. THIS HAPPENED TO OUR 2015 JEEP IN JANUARY 2020 WHEN IT HAD ONLY 31,000 MILES BUT WAS ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. CHRYSLER DID FIX IT AT THAT TIME AS A COURTESY SUBJECT TO A $100 FEE, AND A COPY OF THE INVOICE FOR THAT REPAIR IS PROVIDED. UNFORTUNATELY, A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER, AND WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES HAVING BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. THE DEALER IS NOW CLAIMING THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE REMAINING ROCKERS THAT WERE NOT REPLACED, AS IT IS CHRYSLER'S POLICY TO ONLY REPLACE THE ROCKER ARMS AND CAMSHAFTS THAT ARE DAMAGED AT THAT TIME. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY "SEE THIS ALL THE TIME" AND THAT THEY TRY TO GET ALL THE ROCKER ARMS REPLACED WHEN DOING ANY REPAIRS, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT ALLOW THEM TO DO SO. OF COURSE, CHRYSLER IS NOW REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A FULL RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED ENGINES AND PAY FOR ALL REQUIRED REPAIRS.

NOTICED SIGNIFICANT KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE THAT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER. TOOK TO DEALER FOR A NICE 2 THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX. DEALER REPLACED RIGHT SIDE LIFTERS, ROCKER ARMS, AND BOTH CAM SHAFTS. THIS SOUNDS WAY TOO MUCH LIKE THE 2011-2013 ISSUE THAT JEEP "FIXED" AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THOSE IT SOUNDS LIKE. VERY COINCIDENTAL AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES BASED ON JEEP FORUMS

STARTED OUT WITH OIL IN THE AIR FILTER, HAD THE PVC VALVE AND CAM SHAFT REPLACED. STILL GOT OIL SO AN OIL CATCH CAN WAS INSTALLED, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (AIR FLOW FILTER). THIS WAS CAUSING MY ENGINE TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 70 MPH. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR, BUT AGAIN, WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 70, AND ON AN INCLINE WOULD DROP DOWN TO 60 AND COULD GO NO FASTER (NO ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME). NEXT DAY GOT IT UP TO 78, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND AGAIN COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 75.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP WRANGLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A ODOR OF BURNING OIL PRESENT AND SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC OIL COOLER HAD CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK. THE LOCAL DEALER JACKY JONES DODGE LOCATED AT 2840 US-129, CLEVELAND, GA 30528 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL COOLER PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE WAS ON BACK ORDER.

JEEP 2014 AND OLDER ARE ISSUED A PART CALLED THE OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING WHICH IS PRONE TO LEAKING OIL ON ALL CHRYSLER ENGINEERS USING THIS PART. THIS IS DEFECTIVE AND OR A DESIGN FLAW RESULTING IN REPLACEMENT AND COSTLY REPAIR AND IS A REOCCURRING FAILURE ON ALL CHRYSLERS USING THIS PART. THIS FAILED ON MY JEEP WRANGLER WITH 48K MILES. THE PART IS APPROXIMATELY $300 TO REPLACE AND OVER ALL REPAIR AT A NON DEALERSHIP IS UPWARDS OF $1000.00. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!

OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY HAS STARTED LEAKING BADLY AFTER 60,000 MILES AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS ASSEMBLY IS TOO FRAGILE AND REQUIRES TAKING OFF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO ACCESS AND REPLACE, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE A PLASTIC PART. IT CONTAINS THE OIL FILTER WHICH CAUSES IT TO HAVE TORQUE APPLIED EVERY OIL CHANGE AND CAUSES IT TO BREAK PREMATURELY. THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WERE 25,000 OF THESE ASSEMBLIES ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE AND HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN IT WOULD BE IN STOCK. MY JEEP IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE UNTIL THE BACKLOG IS WORKED THROUGH WHICH MAY TAKE MONTHS. IF THIS WAS A RARE PROBLEM I COULD GET THE PART AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS PROBLEM HAS RENDERED MY VEHICLE UNUSABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS ON MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THERE IS NO REASON THIS COULDN'T HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ENGINEERED WITH A METAL PART.

I WAS DRIVING MY KEEP AND STARTED SMELLING OIL AND HAD SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I NOTICE ON MY GARAGE FLOOR LARGE OIL LEAK. I PICKED UP MY DISABLED SON AND NOTICED IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS FORCED TO STOP BY MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY OIL COOLER ADAPTOR HOUSING WAS BROKEN AND LEAKING BADLY. I HAD PURCHASED A MOPAR PROTECTION PLAN DIRECTLY FROM COMPANY. WHEN I CALLED JEEP DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT AND LET THEM DIAGNOSE IT BEFORE THEY COULD DECIDE IF IT WAS COVERED BY MY MOPAR CARE PLAN. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP ENGINE BUT THEY HAD NOT DONE RECALL YET. I CALL MOPAR AND THEY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZED PAYMENT TO MY MECHANIC UNLESS HE CALL FOR AUTHORIZATION NUMBER. HE CALLED AND THEY SAID NO. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY A RECALL IF IT'S THAT BAD. I WAS READING COMPLAINTS ON ANOTHER SITE AND THEY SAID IT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE STARTING BECAUSE OF OIL LEAKING ONTO EXHAUST.

I GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND I NOTICED THAT THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES IT STARTED MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE NEXT FEW OIL CHANGES IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THAN MY OTHER MECHANIC THAT HEARD THIS TICKING NOISE SAID THAT IT WAS SERIOUS AND THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH AN ENGINE PART CALLLED A LIFTER. I NERVOUS WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT IF IT'S NOT FIXED THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A DEALER NOT KNOWING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG WRANGLERS. I DID MY RESEARCH AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILEAGE BUT MORE SO ON HOW THE ENGINE WAS BUILT. I SPOKE TO NUMBER OF DEALERSHIPS AND THEY FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL AGES AND MILEAGE WRANGLERS. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WOULD RANGE FROM $2000 AND UP. I DON'T THINK WE AS CONSUMERS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE REPAIRING AN ENGINE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES YET TIL THE DEALERSHIP OPENS UP THE ENGINE

THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 AND 2013 MODELS SO CHRYSLER SHOULD BE TAKING THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY AND EXTENDED AND RECALLING ALL 2015 JEEPS TO DO A MAINTENANCE CHECK. I WAS TOLD UPON MY INDEPENDENT REVIEW NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR, TO GET IT HOME SAFE AND SLOW. I HAVE REPORTED THE DEALERSHIP TO THE BBB AND FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

PURCHASED 6/26/19 W/ 49K MI; TAPPING NOISE DEVELOPS AT 54K; PERSONAL, HIGHLY QUALIFIED/EXPERIENCE MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO DEALER - TAP WAS ENGINE ISSUE. ON 10/14/19 DEALER REPLACED LIFTERS/CAMS/ROCKERS (WARRANTY UNTIL 10/20/19). NOT NORMAL ON VEHICLE W/ ONLY 55K. DEALER AWARE OF CYLINDER MISFIRES ON JKS BUT DID NO DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO DETERMINE WHY LIFTERS/CAMS/ROCKERS FAILED; DID NOT PERFORM INSPECTION. TEN DAYS LATER, CEL WITH PO302 (#2 MISFIRE). REPLACED PLUGS; COIL CODE DID NOT CLEAR. RETURN TO DEALER WHO STATED WORK WAS NOT RELATED TO PREVIOUS WORK THEY JUST COMPLETED AND ACKNOWLEDGED MISFIRE IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY ROUTINELY IN WRANGLERS THEY SERVICE.

FILED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP CUST CARE WHO SAID SAME - NOT UNDER WARRANTY, REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER. NOT ASKING JEEP TO REPAIR ENGINE WITH EXCESSIVE MILEAGE OR WEAR - I AM ASKING JEEP TO EXTEND SAME COVERAGE AS 2011-2013 BECAUSE JEEP HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER. IN MID-2019 I NOTICED THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS NOT OPERATING WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I TURNED THE HEAT ON, IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SEND WARM AND THEN COOL AIR OUT OF THE BLOWERS. ONE 38 DEGREE DAY, IT SENT OUT NO HEAT AT ALL. IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ANTI-FREEZE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW AND IT WAS FILLED. IN DEC 2019, THE ENTIRE RESERVE TANK WAS EMPTY. NO FLUID WAS VISIBLE IN THE RADIATOR WHEN THE RADIATOR CAP WAS REMOVED. I HAVE OBSERVED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 3-5 MILES AND THEN TURNED OFF, THERE IS A SLIGHT ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE. IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 12K MILES I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND MOVED FROM THE STREET TO THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF BEFORE IT COULD REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, UPON RESTART, THERE WOULD BE A PUFF OF BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AT 20,500 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING POORLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID A FUEL INJECTOR HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO FOUND 3 BAD ENGINE ROCKER ARMS. THE ROCKER ARMS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. INCIDENTALLY, THE ISSUE WITH THE BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST DISAPPEARED. AT 28,000 MILES THE ENGINE WAS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND THIS TIME REPLACED 4 BAD ROCKER ARMS. AT LEAST 1 OF THE ROCKER ARMS WAS THE SAME ONE (#1 INTAKE) THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED DURING THE PRIOR SERVICING.

MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE DASH, REASONS UNKNOWN. INSURANCE IS INVESTIGATING AND FIRE DEPT PUT CAUSE AS UNKNOWN. JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS AND MY HUSBAND BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. HE WAS DRIVING FROM SCHOOL TO HOME AND ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT TO EXIT.*DT CONSUMER STATED AS HE WAS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PULL THE E-BRAKE, HE WAS BURNT ON HIS HAND AND A LITTLE ON HIS LEGS BY THE TIME HE JUMPED OUT. ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT, MY HUSBAND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5-6 MILES TO CLASS (AS HE IS IN A TECHNICAL SCHOOL RIGHT NOW) AROUND 6:30 AM. AS HE WAS COMING HOME, IT STARTED SMOKING ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE ON RAMP HEADING IN THE DIRECTION TO THE EXIT TO OUR HOME, MY HUSBAND SAID RIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED SMOKING IT ALMOST SOUND LIKE THAT BLOWER MOTOR WAS MAKING A STRANGE NOISE, AND HE WAS HEADED HOME TO LOOK AT IT, BUT THE NOISE QUIT RIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED SMOKING. HE DID HIS BEST TO GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT AS I STATED, WITH IT BEING A SOFT TOP, IT WENT UP IN FLAMES RATHER QUICK. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED EVERY 4,000-5,000 MILES. MY HUSBAND HAS A MOTORCYCLE, SO THE TIME SPENT IN THE JEEP WAS MAINLY IN COOLER WEATHER OR WHEN IT WAS RAINING/OVERCAST. THERE WERE NOT ISSUE LEADING UP TO THE FIRE. WE HAD TAKEN IT ON SHORT TRIPS - LONGEST DISTANCE WAS LIKE 100 MILES ROUND TRIP, BUT HADN'T DONE THAT IN AWHILE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS, STATE FARM TOTALED THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE NOT HAD POSSESSION OF THE JEEP SINCE IT WAS TOWED FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY WHOEVER THE FIRE DEPT CALLED (ALLIED TOWING). AFTER THAT INSURANCE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCATION OF THEIR OWN. I BELIEVE MY HUSBAND ONLY HAD A SUB WOOFER IN THE JEEP, YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE BACK IN SOME OF THE PICTURES. I BELIEVE AT SOME POINT THE STEREO WAS CHANGED BUT THAT WAS BEFORE WE OWNED IT AND IT WAS IN OUR POSSESSION FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR PRIOR TO THE FIRE. I HAVE NO CONTACTED THE FCA, I WASN'T SURE WHO TO REACH OUT TO FOR THIS ISSUE.*JB

ONLY FACTORY AUTHORIZED ANTIFREEZE WAS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. IN FACT, THE COOLANT HAD NEVER BEEN TOUCHED SINCE PURCHASING IT NEW APRIL 17TH, 2015. THIS PAST FALL I KNEW I HAD A LEAK AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING OIL AROUND MY OIL FILTER AND ENDED UP CHARGING ME $46.00 FOR AN OIL CHANGE; HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC (PETE) COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE LEAK. I FELT THE FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR WITH MY FINGERS AND HONESTLY THOUGHT IS WAS PART OIL AND ANTIFREEZE. NOW, ON WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 26, 2018 THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THE DEALER'S ESTIMATE WAS APPROXIMATELY $800.00 DOLLARS.

I THEN ASKED IF THEY HAD THE PART AVAILABLE, GUESS WHAT THEY SAID?? OF COURSE, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY DUE TO NATIONAL BACKORDER. MIND YOU, MY JEEP HAS ONLY BEEN DEALERSHIP TOUCHED AND AT 35000 MILES, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.

THIS JEEP IS 19 MONTHS OLD AND WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW FROM SAHARA JEEP. DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT DOES RUN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CHOOSES TO LOSE POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING IS NOT AN OPTION. NOT REALLY SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK IS OVER 20 MILES ONE WAY ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED ABOUT 6 TIMES AND TWO TIMES OF THOSE HAS BEEN ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH IS NOT A SAFE PLACE. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN REAR ENDED OR EVEN WORSE HAVE CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO CHAPMAN AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES AND THEN NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT SAHARA AND I AM GETTING THE SAME ANSWERS. ALTHOUGH ERROR LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND I HAVE GIVEN THE DEALERSHIPS THOSE THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS MAKING THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOP.DIAGNOSTIC TESTING KEEPS COMING UP NEGATIVE.

THE VEHICLE DIED AND I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RUN CODES THROUGH THEIR RECORDER (SUPPLIED BY JEEP) AND HAD THE VEHICLE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR COMPUTERS WERE DOWN AND UNABLE TO READ THE CODES BUT THEY DID CAPTURE SOMETHING BUT HAD FORWARDED IT ONTO CORPORATE TO READ. A COUPLE DAYS LATER WITH NO UPDATE I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO READ THE CODES BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM WAS ALSO DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. *TR

ENGINE PROBLEMS: STARTING SUMMER 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, ACCELERATING, SLOWING DOWN, STOPPED ENGINE WILL NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR ENGINE LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING OR CRUISING BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP (PURCHASE LOCATION) APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 19TH 2015 RELEASED SEPTEMBER 2ND 2015 PROBLEMS PERSISTED BROUGHT INTO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 14TH 2015 RELEASED APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 26TH PROBLEMS PERSISTED BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 30TH 2015 STILL IN CUSTODY AS OF OCTOBER 8TH ON SEPTEMBER 29TH, I WAS TAKING AN ON RAMP FOR AN INTERSTATE. THE RAMP IS AN UPHILL, HAIR PIN TURN THAT THEN TURNS INTO AN OFF-RAMP FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE ACCELERATING AND MERGING INTO THE INTERSTATE TRAFFIC HERE. HOWEVER, THIS AFTERNOON I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATION THAT I EXPECTED. WHEN I RAN OUT OF RAMP ROOM, I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE SIDE BY SIDE TRACTOR TRAILERS TO GO BY. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF OTHER CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME ON THE ON-RAMP, THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION WITHOUT POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SO I MERGED WITH AS MUCH POWER AS I COULD GET, WHICH WAS NOT ENOUGH. THE CLOSEST TRACTOR TRAILING CAME BARRELING DOWN UPON ME QUICKLY WITH HORN BLARING. ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, JUST A COUPLE MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS THE FIRST IN LINE AT A RED LIGHT. THE JEEP SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT GET IT BACK INTO GEAR. IT JUST REMAINED IN NEUTRAL NO MATTER WHICH GEAR I TRIED TO PUT IT IN. I SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF PARK AND OTHER GEARS TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON MANY TIMES. A FEW TIMES DRIVE WOULD ENGAGE BUT THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN AFTER A FEW FEET. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATED QUICKLY HOPING TO COVER A GREATER DISTANCE AND IT WORKED. I WAS ABLE TO FINISH MY TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND DID NOT SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO PROCEED THROUGH TOLL BOOTH. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AFTER PAYING THE TOLL, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AS IF IT WAS IN FOURTH OR FIFTH GEAR. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE OIL LIGHT BEGAN TO TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I MADE IT TO A CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER MY CAR AND THERE WAS NO OIL REGISTERING ON THE DIPSTICK. AFTER THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT EVENTUALLY LOOKED AT MY CAR, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CRACKED OIL FILTER ADAPTER THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM IN JEEPS. I IMAGINE THAT I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT SEIZE OR CATCH FIRE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM.

BETWEEN THE DATES OF 3/20 AND 8/1 MY 2015 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (4DR, 4X4) HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT CEL P0340 WHILE PULLING A GRADE. WHEN THE CEL OCCUR THE VEHICLE LOSES SIGNIFICANT POWER AND IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING AN ERROR. DURING THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE TO A SAFE SPEED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER TURNING THE KEY TO OFF THEN BACK ON. IF THIS IS DONE WHILE MOVING INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR'S SECURITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START BACK UP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR WARRANTY REPAIR 5 TIMES WITH THIS ISSUE. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM IS SAID TO BE RESOLVED, BUT OCCURS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
