2016 Jeep Wrangler UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Oil holder thing had to be replaced twice within a few months for the part leaving oil onto the engine.

ABS Module not working and Jeep does not have a solution

ABS control module has been out for almost 2 years. Jeep will not make/replace this part, although promised it would become available for this entire 2 year timeframe.

Stopped at traffic light. Hit from behind, into vehicle in front of said vehicle. Air bags did not deploy. Police report filed; insurance representative, jeep dealership all have inspected. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. Rear ended at traffic light. Front end and back end damaged- jeep was undrivable, wrecker service removed from the accident scene. Driver was transported by ambulance and admitted to the hospital.

Vehicle under-body gas tank skid plate is rusting from the inside out. My mechanic has advised me that he has seen many of the JK model Jeep Wranglers gas skid plates rust away from the inside out. Due to the nature of its location the inner portion rusting away is difficult to see this happening. Should this rust away and let go it could result in the gas tank falling from the vehicle at operating speeds on public roads. I was urged to report this as a safety problem.

Windshield broke and it happened previously with a older jeep pebble on the highway likely kicked up and hit the windshield I believe because the windshield is flat there is an increased risk of breakage.

vehicle stalls while driving. sometimes can restart. sometimes takes a few minutes to restart. no issues prior. no known cause. on freeway doing 65 mph then lost all power. it was difficult to get to safety and i couldn’t move all the way off the road. it’s happened twice.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER HAS A MAJOR LEAK. BUT, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THERE ARE 40,000 PLUS ON BACK ORDER AND THE NUMBER WAS ORIGINALLY 60,000. IT JUST SEEMS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY ENGINE COULD SEIZE WHILE DRIVING IF I HAPPEN TO RUN OUT OF OIL AND IT COULD NOT ONLY INJURE MYSELF BUT SOMEONE ELSE AND I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING THE PART ANYTIME SOON.

SPOKE WITH BRITTANY ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM (ERROR MESSAGES). TOLD HER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENTIRE RADIO MUST BE REPLACED AND WILL BE ROUGHLY $600. BRITTANY TOLD ME THAT UCONNECT AND GARMIN MAKE THE PRODUCTS IN THE JEEP PERTAINING TO THOSE ISSUES. I TOLD BRITTANY THAT I HAD SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT BOTH OF THOSE COMPANIES AND THEY ALL SAID THAT THE ISSUES I AM HAVING ARE ALL A JEEP PROBLEM. I TOLD BRITTANY THAT THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS A KNOWN JEEP PROBLEM. BRITTANY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY CALLS AND HAVE HAD MANY CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AS NEW AS 2018, 2019, AND 2020 MODELS. THEY ALSO HAVE MANY CALLS AND CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE IN OLDER MODEL VEHICLES AS WELL. SHE STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTS BY CUSTOMERS TO GET THE COST OF THESE ISSUES COVERED, AND THEY HAVE BEEN DENIED EACH TIME. BRITTANY ADDED MY NAME/VEHICLE/ISSUE TO THE CLAIMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SHE SAID THAT IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY REGARDING THIS THEN I WOULD RECEIVE INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. I TOLD HER I WAS GOING TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT IF THIS RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE TO COME OUT. SHE TOLD ME THAT IF EITHER THE RECALL OR WARRANTY DO COME OUT, I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT FROM THE REPAIR AND I CAN GET REFUNDED FOR THE FULL COST OF THE PARTS/LABOR/TAXES/ETC. I ALSO ASKED ABOUT IF THIS REFUND WOULD APPLY IF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE GRANTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS MADE IN CANADA, AND SHE TOLD ME I WOULD STILL GET THE REFUNDED AMOUNT. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH WARRANTIES BEING VOIDED WHEN THE VEHICLE CROSSES THE BOARDER (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE TIME FOR THE JEEP WARRANTY) BECAUSE A JEEP IS A JEEP AND THEY ARE ALL MADE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHERE I LIVE. SHE HEARD MY COMPLAINT BUT WAS UNABLE TO HELP

WHEN I AM TURNING LEFT THE ABS LIGHTS AND STABILITY LIGHTS TURN ON. THERE IS ALSO A WEIRD NOISE. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT IS A CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS COMMON FOR THE JEEP WRANGLERS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE LEAKS WATER FROM THE FRONT DOORS AND FILLS THE FLOOR WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WINTER UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN THIS WINTER. UPON DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS A PERVASIVE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. I ASKED MY SISTER INLAW IF HER NEW JEEP WAS LEAKING AND IT IS. I ALSO WENT INTO SOME JEEP FORUMS AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOORS SEAL AND THE WAY THE DESIGN DISPERSES WATER. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND MY CONCERN IS THE CARPET ROTTING OUT,MOLD AS WELL AS THE FLOOR PAN CORRODING AS NOTED BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS.

RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60 AND ABOVE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHAKING ON THE 2016 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THAT CAUSES US TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A STOP WHILE STILL ON THE HIGHWAY. SHAKING HAS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 24TH, 2019 AFTER DRIVING OVER POTHOLES/ROAD JOINTS ON THE FREEWAY; AND AGAIN, ON DECEMBER 26, 2019 ON A STRAIGHT SURFACE ON THE FREEWAY. ONE HAS TO HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO AS TO KEEP FROM VEERING OUT OF CONTROL AND ONTO ANOTHER VEHICLE/ROAD SEPARATOR BECAUSE THE JEEP'S TIRES BEGIN TO SWERVE SIDE TO SIDE RAPIDLY. THE SWERVING TIRES CAUSES THE JEEP TO RATTLE AND BECOME JUMPY. THE SEVERE SHAKING ALSO FEELS AS IF A TIRE IS COMING OFF AND WILL BREAK DOWN THEN AND THERE. SLOWING ONE'S SPEED AND SLOWLY PRESSING ON THE BREAK HELPS SLOW AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE SHAKING ONCE COMPLETELY STOPPED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE JEEP AND MUST BE EXTRA ATTENTIVE AT ALL TIMES NOW FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE CARPOOL LANE, GOING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 70 MPH, I DROVE OVER A POTHOLE/ROAD IMPERFECTION AND THE JEEP BEGAN SHAKING SEVERELY TO A POINT OF ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SHAKING THE WHEELS SWERVE SIDE TO SIDE AND CAUSES THE JEEP TO BECOME JUMPY AND RATTLE. IN ORDER TO SAFELY STOP THE SHAKING AND NOT LOSE CONTROL I HAD TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE CARPOOL LANE, I COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO NO SHOULDER. THE CARS BEHIND SAW THE SHAKING AND SLOWED TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE, HOWEVER IF THEY HADN'T IT COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SHAKING I ALSO HAVE TO GRAB TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO AS TO NOT VEER ON TO VEHICLES OR WALLS NEXT TO ME. I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE CARPOOL LANE AND MADE MY WAY TO THE FARTHEST RIGHT LANE AND DROVE NO FASTER THAN 60 MPH FOR FEAR OF THE SHAKING/LOSING CONTROL TO REOCCUR.

I AWOKE THIS MORNING TO FIND MY VEHICLE RUNNING INSIDE OUR PARKED GARAGE. THE REMOTE START SOMEHOW HAD TRIGGERED UNINTENTIONALLY.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 DAYS AND WON'T BE ATTENDED TO FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS ACCORDING TO SERVICE MAN. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND NEED ANSWERS ASAP ON WHATS GOING ON? AND WHEN I WILL GET MY VEHICLE BACK?

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. REPLACED ALL LIFTERS AND ROCKER ARMS.

WATER IS ACCUMULATING ON DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD AND KEEPS REAPPEARING. CARPET IS BEGINNING TO SMELL MUSTY. SEEMS TO DEVELOP WHETHER IT IS RAINING OR NOT. THE FREEDOM TOP HAS BEEN IN ORIGINAL FACTORY STATE AND HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED AND REINSTALLED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE. (NEW)

GEAR SHIFTER "SLIPPED" TO THE LEFT. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO USE 1ST AND 3RD GEARS! WHEN USING 1ST GEAR, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS AGAINST MY RIGHT KNEE!! I WAS NOT ABLE TO "FIND" 2ND GEAR! I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! "INVESTIGATING" ONLINE, SPECIFICALLY WRANGLER FORUMS, THERE ARE OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THERE IS A FAULTY BUSHING THAT BREAKS!

JEEP LEAKS EVERYTIME IT RAINS. LEAKS ON BOTH SIDES BUT PASSENGER SIDE IS THE WORSE. SOAKS THE FLOORS AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. DRIPS OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH AS WELL ON PASSENGER SIDE. WATER CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES UNDER THE DASH, MOISTURE IN FLOOR AND SEAT CAUSE THE WINDOWS TO FOG UP AT TIMES WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF, AND PRESENCE OF A MILDEW SMELL WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO MOLD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP MANY TIMES AND STILL NOT REPAIRED.

GEAR "STICK" -- MANUAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM: 1. "WHEN CHANGING INTO SECOND GEAR, THE GEAR STICK SHIFTS TOWARD THE LEFT, TOUCH OR NEAR TOUCHING THE DISENGAGED, LOWERED-- EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER--WITHOUT GOING INTO SECOND GEAR. 2. GEAR OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT GO INTO NEUTRAL WH EN SHIFTED TO THAT POSITION. 3. GEAR STICK TWIST, AND SHIFT PASS REVERSE WITHOUT GOING INTO REVERSE.

HORN DOES NOT HONK WHEN DEPRESSED OR THERE MAY BE A DELAY TIL THE HORN ACTUALLY SOUNDS. AT TIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN HONK AT ALL. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME. I HAVE CHECKED ON FORUMS AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
