The exhaust manifolds seem to be cracking in the same place. But the most popular issues is the red lightning bolt- check engine light(u0401)- and the traction controlf lights come on the dash and the car is stuck in "limp mode" and everyone is saying on jeeps site that its the throttle body and then some still have problems after that. I saw online there is a recall for the breaks, the engine in 2013, and the airbags and seat belt on the passenger side but I go to all the official sites and when I use my VIN the only recall is for the seatbelt. Please help

Started off by acting as though it wasnt getting gas, (puttering , etc.) had battery checked. Now sounds as though it is stuck in gear. Several mechanics have verified previous recalls on this jeep due to the pulley on alternator. Unsafe to drive and suggested no too.im a single mom with 4 boys and need to be at work but have to be at work. Would need help please!

Voltage light comes on and jeep goes into "limp mode", basically loses all power. Costing $1000.00 plus 2 towing fees to get fixed. Only 85,000 miles on the vehicle. After a little research, I've found this happens all the time.

I have the same exact problem as everyone else. The throttle lightning bolt flashes, car wont shift or do more than 35. It wont respond to accelerating. It jerks all over the place when at a low speed. I went off of the road in the snow but was ok. When it first started it kicked into a lower gear, jerked and the car slid. You are going to get people killed ignoring this and now here is written proof that you have been warned. Do hear that, chrysler? Because youre about to.

I bought the vehicle new from a dealership on 11/01/14. On 11/28/14 I wanted to drive it but it would not shift out of park into any gear. I called roadside assistance and they towed it back to the dealership. The dealership said they checked the gearshift and it shifted every time for them. They told me to pick up the vehicle, which I did. The same problem happened a second time on 01/02/15. It was again towed back to the dealership. This time the dealership technicians also could not shift the vehicle out of park. They serviced the vehicle for seven days. They called me and said they replaced a so-called interlock cable and the transmission shifter because the cable had a 'kink' and it was causing "binding". They said the vehicle was fixed and for me to pick it up, which I did. The "mileage out" was 231. Since then and up until today, 02/27/15, I have only driven it an additional 57 miles and that includes the 15 miles driven back from the dealership. I only drive it very short distances and park it in an open space that is easily accessible to a tow truck in case the problem happens again. My wife is reluctant to drive it and I don't blame her. I am concerned that the 'kinked' cable was not a random 'fluke' but, rather, that it may have been caused by the towing process with the transmission locked in park and the wheels being dragged along the ground and onto the flatbed tow truck body. I fear that the root cause of the problem remains with the automatic transmission.
