2011 Jeep Wrangler transmission problems

Filed Aug 12, 2024 · Transmission · IN

1. Battery, then alternator, now powertrain control module. 2. Yes, could have been stuck on one of the busiest roads in town. 3. Driving home from work and noticed my radio went off and the noticed lights flashing on my dashboard. My car was chugging so pulled off the road. Once on the side, it just shut down. Tried to restart and nothing happened. Called AAA and they said I needed a new battery and told me my alternator was in the danger mode. Took my jeep to a car repair service and told me they had to replace the alternator, but that this a common problem with my year jeep and it still won't be fixed and battery will still die again because the powertrain control module needs to be replaced. Gave me documents that show the number of jeeps brought into their service center with the same problem. Can't get into a jeep dealership for service until August 29, 2 2024. 4. The engine light has been on for a long time but everyone told me it wasn't anything to worry about, a electronic issue. Low tire light would come on and off at various times for a few years and tires would not be low. Also, my passenger side airbag light comes on and off all the time in the past 6 months. I believe this was a recall and was supposed to be fixed. Obviously this has all been part of the powertrain control module not working correctly. All other lights that came on when my battery died never came on before that incident.

I have been experiencing the "death Wobble" for many years, and have gone to various shops to find out the problem but have not been able to fix the "death wobble". The entire car shakes and vibrates uncontrollably when I drive on the free way over a bump, or even when I drive on a regular street and hit a bump. The shaking doesn't stop until I come to a complete stop, and that is very dangerous on the freeway. Once the "death wobble" is going on braking and controlling the jeep are nearly impossible. I have recently found out about a class action lawsuit for this very problem, and I believe my car qualifies to be part of this. I have not been able to document this because it doesn't always happen, and when it does I don't have a camera running.

Our jeep has been "slipping" out of gear, no known cause has been found. The jeep would not accelerate when in gear (manual) when my husband was driving, he downshifted and it got worse from there. My husband pulled over the jeep and was unable to get power to start and place in gear.

I am having trouble with my throw out bearing preload on my jeep. I have noticed there is a tsb 06-002-07 for the tj and jk wranglers year 2007 and before. I have called jeep and they have no record on the throw out bearing for my year jeep. As soon as I go to google there's 100s of pages about preload problems on the throw out bearing. They have also recommended a bearing threw national bearing and seals but I haven't tried that yet. I had it replaced in november 2016 and also had problems with carmax saying it was my driving and also I had to go back and forth multiple times because of there faulty work. It started to act up again load squeal when the clutch pedal is depressed and the noise goes away when pressed (at a stop in nuetral) also loud when driving when clutch is released same noice. I'm not sure who else to talk to about this issue because jeep was not so helpful. Thank you.

At 73,000 miles the transmission failed. For no reason. The check engine light came on. When I was driving, it felt like the car was slipping out of gear. Nothing had been done to the car that would have warned me that something like this might happen. I was just driving normally, going to work.
