Intake air temperature sensor falls out of housing when accelerating. Second time this has happened for the same reason.
2013 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints

My airbag dash light is illuminated. I took it to Park Jeep and the error code suggests that it is the clockspring that should be replaced. - I bought a "legally imported from Canada" 2013 Jeep Wrangler from a large US non-Jeep dealer in 2016. It had 55k miles so it would have been out of warranty. Recently, I had the pab recall work done at a local Jeep dealership. About a month later, my airbag light started coming on intermittently. Because of the timing of the recall work, I went back to that dealership to have them diagnose/see if they were the cause/etc.. They diagnosed it as needing the clockspring. I have been told by two local Jeep dealerships and the folks at 1-877-amjeep that even though the extended warranty on the clockspring applies to ALL NAFTA market vehicles, they wont fix it under warranty. I was actually told, "...the warranty it didn't have at the time it crossed into the US was voided, thus nullifying any future extended warranty that could would have covered other parts." FCA did this extended warranty nonsense to avoid a recall, and if they arent honoring the extended warranty, then there ought to be a recall on the clockspring. MY airbag is NON functioning due to a manufacturing defect and FCA wont fix it. I cannot be the only person that is adversely affected by this.
ABS and check engine light. I am a rural mail carrier, because my ABS light is on it causes my jeep to not accelerate pulling away from mailboxes therefore putting myself and other drivers at risk. The problem has been reproduced at the dealer. Warning lights illuminated at 19687 miles and are still on to this day, no resolution from Jeep. Jeep engineer came to dealership and could not say what was wrong with vehicle.
My vehicle suddenly stops running as I'm driving down the road. This is an reoccurring problem that happens every few days. This does not issue a code nor does the check engine light come on. There is no rhyme or reason to the issue. Electrical does not go out only the ability to push the gas pedal. I have to pull over and turn off the jeep. It comes back on and runs after waiting 10 minutes. This is a hazard and can cause a wreck. It's an common problem with Jeeps as reported on the forums.
When driving down the road, the Jeep stops running. This is very dangerous and happens while driving at 55 mph. I’ve taken it to a mechanic and it will not throw a code. We’ve replaced the fuel pump, ignition, battery and alternator. Reading the forums and other online resources shows this is a common problem with multiple solutions. Jeep should recall any parts identified with this issue and be able to help correct this known issue. This is very unsafe. I do not have the money to spend and have no reliable transportation for employment. This has been such a hardship during such trying economic times.
The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the horn button failed to operate and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. Additionally, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,120.
Mopar Performance 68018109AA A/C and Heater Actuator has failed 3 times. I've replaced the original and twice since. This part is a safety issue because it directed the heat to defrost/de-ice the Windshield and provide heat to the occupants. There is plenty of evidence on YouTube of Jeep owners replacing this part for years now and yet there has not been a Recall regarding this part. The last replacement part was in January 2020 and failed again which I just replaced. Three times since 2013 when I purchased the 10th Anniversary Jeep Rubicon new which is why I've had enough of MOPAR not caring about its customers
I just left my house and drove 2 miles at 25mph. My brakes went out then my vehicle caught fire with me and my two children inside. It is being inspected by insurance but there were no warning signs besides my brakes going out.
Driver heated seat module overheats at times causing a burning smell if in use.
Driving approx 65 MPH on highway. Rpm jumped then car lost power. Would not shift past neutral and unable to remove key. Auto door unlock failed. Vehicle was evacuated and then struck from behind at high speed.
I was in motion on highway at 60mph dash lights and radio went off, the engine went off for about 3 seconds then everything came back to normal. This occurred 3 times in the next 10 minutes. Each occurance was the same. Ran fine after that for 30 mins. Has not reoccured. Total shut down is dangerous. I have heard reports of this happening to many jeeps.
Airbag lights remain on, cruise control does not work, all controls on the steering wheel do not work. Does not work when driving or setting. I purchased the vehicle with this problem and was told it was a fuse. I found out it is the clock spring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that after taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a tire change, the vehicle failed to restart. The battery was replaced however, the failure persisted. The vehicle remained in custody of the independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,500. The VIN was not available.
My jeep shuts off while driving on city roads and going up hills with other vehicles present, no codes show up, dash lights turn red when vehicle is off, my jeep makes funny noises when turned off, take it to the dealership over 3 months since I bought it 3 months ago and they can't fix it. They don't know what is wrong with it. They've tired everything and still nothing. It's going back in again because it shut off on me going up a hill. This jeep is now becoming dangerous to myself. Yet the jeep still isn't giving codes. I had to go buy a car scan device plug it in and record data of what is going on with the jeep so that the dealership can see. Do I have to go off a cliff or get into a really bad accident before this problem is found or fixed. I've only had this vehicle for 3 months. I bought it on february 21,2020 and it started acting up on february 28,2020 and still is on may 16, 2020 and it is becoming a nightmare. I'm spending money to get it fixed because the dealership is charging me because my extended warranty doesn't cover it. I was told when I bought it that there was nothing wrong with it but that was a lie. I need help figure this out. The dealership didn't make sure that this vehicle was safely operational before selling it. It over heated because they didn't check fluid. My heated seats were burnt out. My dash lights flicker on and off. They replaced something behind my dash but it didn't fix the issue. I think it made it worse. As of right now my jeep shuts up at least once a week which puts me in a dangerous position because I get stuck either on the side of the road sitting sideways or almost off of a cliff or in the middle of the road with nowhere to go because I have no power steering the jeep does it start back up for anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes.
Clockspring failed causing horn to not operate, ABS and traction control to not operate. Other issues that are non safety related to this is cruise control, radio controls (steering wheel) and the dash data (the menu to scroll through from the dash for dte, us/metric etc). All these are effected while vehicle is both in motion and stationary.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started the driver side vents blew cold air while the passenger side vents blew hot air. The vehicle was taken to planet chrysler/jeep (400 e central st, franklin, ma 02038), where it was determined that the heater core needed to be replaced and the hoses unclogged. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not part of a technical service bulletin number: 24-002-14 (equipment). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90,300. *bf
As I research what is wrong with my jeep it has been a happening for quite a bit of people. Nobody has been able to find a solution for this issue, what has been happening is when driving my 2013 jeep wrangler at all my check engine light comes on and I instantly lose power plus my ABS and traction control lights turn on and I end up going into limp mode. It mostly happening on the freeway and going up hills, but has also been happening even when it is in park. My jeep has been in the shop with a trusted mechanic for 3 months and he has not been able to find the issue either. All of the research I have done tons of people has been having this issue but seems as though no one can find the cause of the problem either... I'm unsure of what to do now.
Changed spark plugs on jeep, when done turned it on. Vehicle stayed running for 5 secs and shut off. Did that 3 times, then never turned back on. Lights, locks, and alarm worked fine. Vehicle would not start at all. Put in a new battery and wouldn't turn on. Left sitting for a day. Checked it again the next day, battery was hot and cables were melting on it. Towed it to the repair shop. Said it was tipm . Ordered a new one. And jeep still will not turn on. Jeep has been at a repair shop for 3 months with no solutions yet. Bill is racking up just trying to get it running.repair shop has checked everything and still having problems with tipm.
After turning off the vehicle and parking in a garage for 10 minutes the tipm started smoking, wipers and lights went on and horn started blowing and caught fire. This occured approximately 5 pm.
Driving on highway and the engine shut off for no apparent reason. When the engine is off there is a loss of power steering etc. This has happened several times. Starting at about 32,000 miles. The dealership has tried to fix it but the vehicle still has this problem.
The tips module failed have only one headlight been stopped by policemen for unsafe vehicle. Must be replaced cost for part is 1;400.00 dollars not including labor.have been told by dealer that this is common failure part many people complained that the have to pay for a part that controls all the electrical for the vehicle. This is a safety issue. Jeep should recall this for repairs. Very sad people have to pay for this jeep should be held accountable. Thank you.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. While parking the vehicle, the contact removed the key from the ignition, but the vehicle kept running. The contact disconnected the cables from the battery to finally stop the engine from running. The vehicle was reconnected to the battery and the contact drove home. When the contact attempted to park the vehicle, the failure recurred; however, the vehicle kept running even with the cables unhooked. The contact had to pull fuse numbers 10 and 12 before the vehicle finally shut off. All american chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat of san angelo (4310 sherwood way, san angelo, tx 76901, (866) 575-2743) stated that the failure may be due to the ignition switch. The dealer stated that there were no recalls for the ignition switch and advised the contact to bring in the vehicle. An independent mechanic was contacted and suggested to bring a new ignition switch in; however, the failure recurred. The contact researched the failure online and found that the failure was occurring on numerous occasions. The failure mileage was 96,100. *bf
Starting issues: the ignition will not start the engine, no lights come on, the battery is connected fine and I had it checked (good). This has happened four times since april, and today is the most recent. My jeep has been parked in my garage since thursday evening and it would not start today (6/30/19).
Clockspring recall: other year models of the same generation wrangler show a clockspring recall, but my year model doesn't. My clockspring has failed now and I lost most of the steering wheel controls, including my safety horn, and if my research is correct, my driver side air bag will not deploy now if in a collision accident. When turning my windshield wipers would turn on randomly, and then when driving shortly afterwards I went to honk at animals in the road and the horn did not work. The next day I noticed that the radio and driver information center controls on the steering wheel did not work either.
Horn does not work and steering column controls are not functioning. Unsure if airbag works.
Unable to get a recall repaired (p61) because of the fraudulent actions of california superstores valencia chrysler jeep dodge ram in valencia, california (661) 379-7709. Dealer falsely submitted that the recall was completed in 2015 thus removing my vehicle from further safety notifications regarding this recall. Vehicle has never been to california which the chrysler jeep corporation should be able to verify using the onstar system installed on the vehicle. All of this was discovered while trying to get the takata recall completed on vehicle.

Driver was killed. No evasive maneuvers were made by the driver, no skid marks, cause of crash unknown. *dt consumer stated vehicle was disposed approx.6-10 months ago.
I was getting into my vehicle and turned on the car. Immediately after I turned it on my windshield wipers began starting (with them off) and wouldn't stop. I turned my car off and they continued to keep moving. I tried to move my car into the garage and my car wouldn't come out of park. Then I started smelling a really bad smell of something burning so I called my local auto shop asap because the smell wouldn't stop and he had me disconnect the battery to shut everything off. My car had to be towed to an auto shop to get fixed. I was top the tipm module was faulty. I had to get a whole entire new module which cost 1,200$. I was told that this could have happened in the middle of me driving the car and I was lucky that it only happened when I was parked. I was also told by many other people who drive a chrysler, dodge, or jeep that this is a very common problem in older models. I feel very uneasy driving my car now.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. While driving 35 MPH in inclement weather, the windshield wipers failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to ron lewis alfa romeo / ron lewis pre-owned cranberry (located at 20839 route 19, cranberry twp, pa 16066, (724) 776-7400) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Steering wheel controls stopped working which also included the ability to use the horn. The air bag light also came on making the air bag system non operating. Is not a fuse issue. Something is faulty within the steering system and clock spring. Was driving down the road and the air bag light came on without any form of collision taking place. Tried using horn to see if it worked and no sound. Tried using radio controls none work. Tried using cruise control nothing worked. I have turned the jeep steering wheel every way and nothing works. Turned it off and on still nothing working. Disconnected battery and then connected it back up. Still not working. Checked all fuses by dealer no issues. Factory equipment no modifications made still not working. Unsafe environment made by this malfunction within jeep wrangler.
