While driving, sway bar disconnect light illuminates, skid control light illuminates, all gauges go off, then on. Doors will not unlock from the inside using the door control. Will unlock using the key fob. Dangerous condition when sway bar disconnects driving at high way speed.
I have an engine failure code 520 for the oil pressure switch or harness with only 8315 miles on this vehicle. I found a jeep forum that described this problem in detail and stated that this has been an ongoing problem since 2012 with this vehicle. It was also stated that to replace the defective oil pressure switch the intake manifold and fuel injector rail would need to be removed. That is a little more complicated than what I am willing to try. This should be handled under a recall or at least an extended warranty for consumer protection.
My horn doesn't work. My turning signals intermittently working, my windows wouldn't work, the lighter wasn't working, but now is. Driving down road. Changed fuses, changed light bulbs. Same resuld.
Vehicle brakes automatically while driving , causing the ABS light to come on and the vehicle brakes while driving
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. While driving 10 MPH, the radio stopped working as well as other buttons on the instrument panel and the steering wheel. Before discovering the failure, the contact heard an audio indicator and a message displayed for an oil change. Afterwards, the oil change display warning was no longer visible, only the audio indicator. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who advised the contact to research online for open recalls. The contact found the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v288000 (air bags), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made of the failure and the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The failure mileage was 42,000.
The radio would not come on after vehicle start up then would after the battery was disconnected then reconnected. Problem continued disconnecting battery stopped working and power window controlls malfunctioned and started working again. Radio still does not work and will sometimes come on with bright screen and a very loud sound while driving. Dealership states not a warrenty issue. Anotjer mechanic states it is tipm issue and was recalled in other dodges. Also engine light stays on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated and remained illuminated even with sufficient air in the tires. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v632000 (tires) to the dealer (barnett chrysler jeep, 3430 hwy 61 n, white bear lake, mn) and was informed that there was no such recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
Vehicle check engine light came on shortly after regular service at the dealer. Returned to have it checked, was told that the issue was caused by a faulty oil pressure sensor. The location of the sensor requires removal of the intake manifold, fuel injector's and rails, etc., resulting in approx. 4 hours of labor at the dealer. The dealer advised that they have "seen thousands of these sensor's fail on the 3.6 engine". There is a tsb; 18-034-14 rev. A, documenting complaints. Because the vehicle has 41k miles on it, the dealer will not cover the cost of the repair. I called the manufacturer to complain about the fact there apparently is no recall on this defective item. I was told that I could do nothing, except for put in a complaint about the dealer. I told them that the dealer is not the problem, it is the manufacturer who refuses to issue a recall despite the fact there are numerous instances of this part failing across their product line. Was told to complain to the federal safety agency.
Overnight failure while parked: started jeep in the morning and discovered no interior dome light upon entering, no turn signals, no headlights, no wiper controls, no steering wheel controls, no seat heaters, no esp control. Troubleshooting revealed a grounded clock spring causing critical system failures rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. These same clock springs were recalled by the federal safety agency on may 11, 2016 under campaign number 16v288000 only on right-hand drive vehicles for "contamination failures" causing air bag failures where they were replaced and a more protective steering wheel trim shroud was installed. It's safe to say that the left-hand drive vehicles are experiencing the same failure and are no more exempt from these contamination failures. It's also safe to say, I have the same failure and the same air bag malfunction that, thankfully, I did not discover. Thank god I was not in an accident where the air bag didn't fire, or I would have had need to hire an attorney.
Jeep was totally dead on 8/9/2017. ..I replaced battery and it cranked but none of the electrical controls on steering column work, I.e. Blinkers, horn, lights, stereo controls, wind shield wipers..etc. (anything on the steerimg column minus the ignition switch). I took it to a mechanic and he stated the ipcm is bad and needs to be replaced. Mechanic stated he has seen 3 off these this week alone from chrysler products. It is a 2014 with 40k miles, never been off round. Check engine light came on about a month ago with the code p054c but went off at the next crank up and hadnt come on again. Why would this part just fail? It's nothing I did. Sounds like a faulty part.
Jeep started smoking in the dash and then caught on fire. Thanks goodness a passer-buyer had fire extinguisher and put out fire. *bf *js updated 10/25/18
Jeep wrangler steering column electrical issues, possibly related to tipm issues with other jeep/chrylser/dodge vehicles. Issue occurred when starting vehicle in parking lot at night. Jeep lights would not turn on even though lights were in the on position from the steering column left stem for lights. Repeated on/off attempts, including vehicle restarts, did not fix no lights issue. When the steering wheel was rotated the lights suddenly turned on. Other related issue is intermittent windshield wiper cycle when windshield wipers are in the off position on the right stem of the steering wheel column.
Randomly the instrument panel gauges would go crazy, the "idiot" lights would come on, and if the cruise control is on, that will disengage. I've had other incidents where the vehicle would not have any power when the key was engaged, until 4 different times of trying it. Also when starting the engine, the starter would continue to crank even with the key disengaged.
Unknown reason: my jeep was sitting in the driveway while I was at work and caught fire. This fire from the jeep caught my house on fire as well. My neighbor heard a few explosions and went outside to see what was going on. He took the attached picture after he called the fire department. We are waiting for the insurance adjuster to come out to see the damage.
Clockspring recall (the federal safety agency recall # 16v‑288) ( manuf recall # s40) affects not only the airbag but.. Also....."causes a non working horn". No horn is a safety hazard by not having it working at any time while operating (stopped or driving) the jeep. Jeep dealers have "no" est of when repair part will be available???? ""not acceptable on the part of jeep/chrysler!!!!!''' the consumer stated the steering wheel wires, engine rockers, front u joints, engine harness and fuel injector harness, front drive shaft adn suspension all failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle lost steering while driving. The front axle assembly bracket had broken.
On 5/6/16 I went to start my 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon and the engine did not make a noise but the dash lit up like a christmas tree. The windows had power and radio worked but the door lock or alarm did not work. I towed it to the dealer and was advised that it was a common problem and was called the "tipm module" which is basically the entire fuse box and part of the computer. I was stuck there in north carolina from maryland for four exra days. Now after getting back home to maryland on 6/5/16 I go to try and accelorate onto the highway from a ramp and the transmission revs to 5,500 RPM but the jeep will not accelerate. I have to ease off the gas and let it accelerate very slowly. Thank god no trucks were coming or it could have beed and extremely dangerous situation considering it was interstate 95 by 175 where semi trucks go to the ta truck stop.
The TPMS light is always illuminated and the tire pressure is correct. I found a recall (the federal safety agency campaign 14v632000) (chrysler #p63) for this issue, but was told by both chrysler and the federal safety agency that my particular vehicle is not on the recall list. It seems very coincidental that the exact year, make, and model of my vehicle shows up on the recall list, but not my vehicle which is experiencing the exact same problem that the recall was issued regarding.
Clock spring went out at only 25,000 miles causing my airbag light go on and stay on. I was driving down a highway at approx 50 miles per hour when the light and alarm came on..the light started coming on intermittantly and then came on and stayed on with the alarm going off and on. It also cause my stereo to burn out and the horn to stop working
Clock spring failure at 44,000 miles, disabling the air bag. Dealer tells me no warranty past 36,000 mi. On this part failure even though it affects safety. But company will pick up price of part, if we pay labor. Know there was a recall of our 2009 for this same part in which the company paid all.
The ABS, stability control and traction lights keep going off and also disabling the speed control while driving. So far jeep has replaced the ABS sensors and the stability sensor twice. The car is being driven, usually going off on dry pavement. The jeep also had the computer system shut down the vehicle with a security alert that need a computer update a few months prior.
After being parked for three days, an loud noise was coming from the engine compartment. The only way to get the noise to stop was to disconnect the battery. The jeep was towed in to the dealership, where it was determined that the toally integrated power module (tipm) was faulty, and caused power to be distributed to the windshield washer fluid pump until it failed. The tipm was replaced (for the third time since I've owned this jeep) as was the pump.
I had been driving for 5 kms. And it started smoking and went up in flames. Have 11,000 kms on it. Very low for a 2014. All check ups and oil changes to date by dealership.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the floorboard behind the front driver side seat became extremely hot and experienced melting and soot. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.
Went to start car from off position. Engine starts and stalls. Does this 3 times until it doesn't start anymore.
The engine, stability, battery, and several other lights including will come on and the needle showing the RPM will fall to zero. The radio will also shut off. Then about 3 seconds the lights will go off , RPM needle will position itself back to were it was and the radio will come on. The problem I have described has happened several more times and each time is not the same. Sometimes the radio goes off and then come back on. Other times the lights on the dash come on and go off. The problem seems to happen randomly ( no particular time, speed, weather conditions, etc.)
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. While the brake pedal was depressed, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted, but the failure recurred numerous times. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
Curse control disengaged while traveling 70 MPH. In addition, the vehicle electrical system will reset all programs, stored information, the vehicle is difficult to start on occasions.
Went to start the vehicle and when I went to turn the key the jeep lost power to all electrical systems. After waiting for a bit the system "rebooted" and I was able to start the vehicle and go. However, this keeps happening sometimes multiple times a day and sometimes once per week. We have taken it to the dealership for repairs and they updated the wcm software to version 0.20 and the problem still exists. We have also had episodes of the electrical systems going out while driving causing the engine to sputter, instrument panel goes dark, radio shuts off, AC fans shut off, etc..
Easter sunday morning drove from country home 7 miles into town to church, no stopping and slowing down just a couple of times. Parked, locked vehicle and walked into church lobby. Stopped to speak to a man when he noticed black smoke in the parking lot. Turned and saw that it was coming from under the hood of my jeep. Within a minute flames started. Fire department was called and responded within a few minutes, but not before flames from the passenger front side jumped onto the car parked next to the jeep. Both vehicles were burned up and totaled. Flames started on the front right side (passenger).
