2010 Jeep Wrangler: check engine light

Filed Apr 19, 2023 · Engine · FL

I did not have a check engine light. I began to notice a slight ticking sound. I took it to a dealership and they say I need a brand new engine. I have had no issues with my vehicle and have maintained it well. I went from a slight ticking sound to a $11,000 estimate for an engine swap. My Jeep only has about 66,000 miles on it.

When starting the vehicle the check engine light comes on. Including the low tire pressure sensor comes on. The tires have been repaired yet the pressure system still says low. The car when shortly after it's been turned on only going several miles an hour and staying about 2RPMs starts to kick forward in a abrupt motion as if it wants to accelerate. Sometimes it's a hit or miss to start the car so I have to put it in neutral to start it. In conclusion everytime the vehicle starts to move from a complete stop or braking a loud clanking noise repeats a 2-3 times (clank,clank,clank) continues then stops after driving continually, then repeats after every stop that is made. I'm not sure what to make of it but my guess it has to do with the braking system even though no warning lights for brakes have come up.

Engine started making a rattling noise at 54,200 miles. No engine lights or oil pressure indicators. Brought in to have checked & found to have no engine oil, low engine coolant. There was enough damage done to the engine that I'm having to have an entire new engine installed as it was more cost effective than replacing the individual parts. The dealership received a new engine & installed. This one was deffective & had to wait for another one to be received & installed. Thanks,

First, I was driving on the highway and hit the brakes, when the vehicle locked all the brakes completely, the vehicle started skidding almost causing an accident because I lost control of the vehicle. A few weeks later, I was driving up the hill when all the dash lights lighted up, I stopped the vehicle and turned it off but they did not went off . I went to the dealer and they told to replace the ABS module (68067458aa) costing $215.00 plus $160 on labor. They also told me that a few customers are complaining about the same issue. The vehicle is also turning off the headlights at night. Right know the problem is intermittent. The check engine code is b162f, right low beam control. According to the dealer, the tipm needs to be replaced, it cost around $400. When I looked in the internet, there are several cases of that issue since 2010.it creates a possible hazard driving at night.

Just purchased this jeep a few weeks ago and, even though we knew the tipm was a known issue, we thought perhaps it would not surface for a few months or years. Well 2 weeks ago, the check engine light started beeping. A few days later, it would not start. Then today the dashboard lights started flashing & beeping and a few minutes after that, the engine stalled. Although I was able to restart it, 10 minutes later it stalled again & I could not restart it & nothing was coming on - no hazards / lights / engine lights. Another 10 minutes and I noticed the lights were back on so I tried to start it again . Engine tried to turn over but unfortunately it didn't start. Waited another few minutes & it finally started. Was able to drive it home & am not going to make the appointment to get the tipm replaced. Jeep needs to own this problem and make it a recall. Its terrifying knowing that I could have been on the highway when the car died.

Drove my car and everything was fine. Parked car at my apartments and smelled something that smelled like a fire. Went to the other side and saw fire coming from under the hood. Within minutes the fire consumed the entire front of my jeep wrangler. I never had any problems before this not even a check engine light was on.

I have had several big issues with my jeep in the last month and a half. First my brake caliper and piston were frozen due to the fluids not flowing properly according to my mechanic. 2 weeks later my airbag light came on and stayed on brought it into the dealership and they needed to replace my clock spring and the third issue was my engine light that came on and then my car would not start. I needed to replace my alternator which was faulty and then drained my battery which I also had to replace. These three issues have cost me over $1000.00 dollars in a short period of time. I was wondering if any of them are a issue with my make and model and year of my vehicle. This is becoming I safety issue in my eyes. Especially my brakes and airbag issue.
