2011 Jeep Wrangler engine problems

Filed Feb 17, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · IN

I have had my transmission in my jeep Wrangler fixed five times it is still barely working. As well as I am having an extremely bad death wobble when I drive, which is very unsafe for me and my son when we are in the vehicle. We have been trying to keep getting it fixed, but it seems like nothing is working. As well as my lights have been going in and out on my dashboard, which is again unsafe during the night. I am afraid for me and my sons safety and we are not wanting to keep driving this vehicle as well it barely passed emissions so I can get my tag for my plates. We are wanting to get something safer for me and my family.

All of my wires on the drivers side is unhooked and hanging. All of my emergency light have came on. The car is running hot and not catching up on proper speed. The car wobbles left and right when going over 40mph. My reverse camera is hanging covering my license plate causing m to consistently get pulled over. There are a lot of safety concerns. The dealer used profanity towards me and told me he was not fixing anything, I better use my warranty. I got what I got!

Engine failure. While traveling at 75mph on the highway, the vehicle lost power and threw a check engine light. I pulled over to the side of the road and shut off the vehicle and attempted to restart it. The vehicle did not immediately restart, but did so on the second try. I drove away and approximately a mile down the road, the vehicle began to knock and make banging noises, I pulled over once again and called a tow tuck. Vehicle was later diagnosed with failed rod bearings and required a full rebuild. Vehicle had 125k miles at the time of failure.

Drivning on interstate in ohio after stop at service plaza and just got off ramp pulling onto interstate and oil light popped up and at same time engine made a noise. Immediately pulled off road. Turned off jeep, called aaa. They towed me. I'm told it needs a new engine. I have records of good care of this vehicle. It only had 56,500 miles. I'm finding out others online others went through same. The garage tells me that jeep knows of the problem and put a new upgrade to engines. These engines should have been recalled. Now I'm facing thousands for a new engine and I am without a vehicle. I have contacted jeep and waiting for a response.
