Recall 20V‑475 / 23V‑411 software patch was performed, but the underlying magnetic tone wheel defect has now physically failed, causing an active crankshaft position sensor error and stall hazard. While traveling 60mph the car stalled and went into limp mode with no prior warning. The vehicle has been diagnosed at a repair shop as a fault with the crankshaft position sensor performance which was apart of a pervious recall listed above. The vehicle has not been inspected by any others at this time as its not safe to drive and do not want out of pocket cost to do so.

My car started jumping after purchssing it in November 2025 used. The gear would feel like it was slipping. In March 2026 I parked my car turned it off let off the brake and it rolled. I have used the emergency brake since then. The gas gauge is off. The miles and gauge do not line up correctly and I was advised fuel pump may be off. It will drink gas up within a few miles. Check engine light came on without warning. Took it to check it out said oil sensor. He said replace it soon as you can still driveable. The next day i drove to my sons college and the jeep had no power, the check service on the screen popped up. And the jeep would not accelerate. I was anle to take it to O'Reilly and several codes appeared stating 2 gear shift ratio inaccurate 7 gear shift ratio inaccurate, engine oil pressure control circuit performance stuck off, clutch temp threshold achieved auto stick inhibit. The employee said he had never seen these codes populate. He asked if i had smelled any transmission fluid burning. I said no. No leaks nothing. Had the car for 7 months. He stated transmission isnt any good. That I would need a deep decoding done to say for sure. Car is in limp mode now. Unable to drive safely.

The past 3 times putting gas in 1) after gassing, Jeep started, would not go into gear. Shut off, restarted, was fine. 2) after gassing, Jeep started however shaking, shut off, restarted, however shook until it caught and started. 3) after gassing, the 3rd time it started. The Jeep would shake, like the old cars would diesel when shut off, this is what it was like. Shows multiple codes. Purge valve under hood replaced in November, replacing again to see if its bad. Rear purge valve replaced (driver rear wheel). Next step is smoking the vehicle to find the leaks, believe to be the gas filler neck. Often when putting gas in, gas clicks off. Also the capless tank is awful, often difficult to put the hose in. This is my 3rd JGC, the 07 had issues and this one. The 2011 was a dream! These are manufacturer's issues and should be repaired FREE of charge!
