Approximately 4to6 months after I bought my jeep following issues: electric bolt comes on. At a red light engine shuts off. Have to stop in middle of traffic to restart and pra it restarts. Sometimes this takes 3 or 4 tries. Sometimes many times when I try to start my car will not start. Many times I am unable to shift the jeep and takes 40 min to get the throttle into gear. Wheel locks. Windshield wipers come on at random times. This is a severe safety hazard. I did buy an extended warranty and they tell me it is not covered. I’ve followed up for any recalls and they tell me no recalls. I had some minor recall done a few months ago and now my jeep is worse than before. The stress of this is immense. Very very unsafe and I do not have the money to fix it. I love my jeep. I got one because my daughter knew how much I wanted a jeep so I purchased one a month after she died. This is a real safety concern and I have contacted dealership multiple times. Also informed the BBB. Please help me. Thank you. [XXX] .

My Jeep just died in the middle of the on ramp to the freeway. We had to push it off to the side of the road. The lights all worked, the horn worked, the door locks worked and the radio worked. We tried jumping both batteries and it would not start and the dash would not come on at all. We had it towed to the dealership and they have had it for over 3 weeks and cannot find what is wrong with it. They thought it was the ECU but they said none of the modules are communicating in the vehicle. So they thought it may have a short so they started chasing wires. They still haven't found the culprit and my extended warranty is up in September. It only has 16,000 miles on it.

Clutch failed at 4000 miles and 3 months of ownership on a brand new 2019 Wrangler Unlimited. Blame placed on me, 2 dealerships before they would do it with out charge. 3 months later 1st recall comes out. Also when clutch was failing the Start/Stop system said it needed service. The clutch went a second time after 30,000 miles. was forced to pay 2900, second recall came out at same time and the recall was done when new clutch was installed. Took almost a month and no loaner car or rental available. Now clutch starting to smell and fail, 30,000 miles later. Poor clutch, recalls did nothing to actually address the prob. The start/stop system failed twice leaving my jeep in run but the engine off and would not start. Kept saying push in clutch and start, but it would never start. all electrical in the car stayed on for 2 hours. A PCM needed to be replaced, 2+ weeks without a vehicle. Start/Stop failed again in traffic this time, needing to be pushed. Replaced battery, thought that it failed because the battery needed replacement. The problem still persists.

2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited---while driving the vehicle on a city street, without any warning, all of the dash lights and any/all warnings lights started to flash. Within 200 feet of this occurring, the vehicle lost power, including ability to control the steering, and the car came to an immediate stop. During this shut down instance, I was able to vigorously hold the steering wheel to guide the car to the side of the road, avoiding the traffic that came. After the car shut down, the dash lights and windshield wipers were still going off. It still had electrical power. It would not start back up. I had to have it towed to the dealership. It is currently being looked at by the local dealership. 05-29-22

The first time the car had a sign that said 'stop safely vehicle will shut off soon' I pulled into a parking lot and the car turned off and wouldn't turn back on. The second time I stopped at a stop sign I got no message or warning and the car completely turned off, and would not turn back on. The third time I was at a red light and got the 'stop safely message' as well as various other warning messages'then the vehicle shut off again completely. Wouldn't start. The forth time, I was at a 4 way intersection with a 3 way stop I did not have a stop sign but the person to my right thought I did. He thought he had the right of way, I slammed on my breaks to avoid a collision and the car stopped, completely'gave all the warning lights and would not restart.

This jeep has been to the dealer 4 times previously for a similar issue. This incident, while driving down the highway at approximately 45 MPH all the instruments started going crazy (previously happened many times). Shortly thereafter the steering wheel locked up. The power steering was still working, but the wheel would only turn around 1 inch in either direction. Braking was normal. Maneuvered the jeep off the road and had towed to ron carter chrysler jeep dodge dealership in league city, tx. The dealership has had this vehicle 4 times in the past for this issue. In the past the steering has not been affected, but the vehicle won't start or the parking brake will be set and you can't move or other weird different stuff happens. The steering issue in this past incident is serious. When the tow truck driver inquired what happened he told me he has towed probably 20 other newer jeep wranglers with similar issues. The dealership told me last time we brought the vehicle in and it was still acting up that there were 15 faults stored. The issue usually clears itself up by the time we get it to the dealer. The dealer claims they have talked with chrysler and can't figure out whats wrong and have just been throwing darts replacing various things. If the tow truck driver is right on how many vehicles hes towed with this problem there is a serious electrical / computer issue going on with these vehicles that is going to cause accidents.

Brand new 2019 jeep jl wrangler rubicon. Has less than 700 miles; problem was noticeable immediately upon delivery of vehicle. Issue: steering has a "dead spot" when wheels are straight center. This dead spot is about 2 inches of play, and most noticeable when driving over 50 MPH. I have rough jeep in several times. V41 recall (steering damper) already completed, along with all steering components to include: steering box (ae); track bar; front bar; drag link; tie rod; socket drive (connects to pitman arm). Tire pressures checked and realigned. No change. Not sure where else to go now. Driving at freeway speeds is not safe! I constantly have to correct steering on straight sections (like a bowling ball going down alley with bumpers on sides). In other words, you have to over-correct to because jeep does not start to turn until past dead spot.
