2017 Jeep Wrangler Electrical System

It randomly will not start and will need a jump start to get going. My safety has been put at risk due to not being able to start the car while in unfamiliar locations. I have had fhe battery and alternator checked and both came back with no issue. No symptoms. Just the issue of not starting even after driving around all day. There’s no pattern when it comes to knowing if it will start or not.

On May 9, 2025 I was driving down the road and the engine shutdown. I was lucky not to be in much traffic and pulled off the road (no power steering or brakes). Had I been in a left lane on a freeway this is very dangerous and I could have been rear ended. I was just told that a replacement TIPM will not be available until July 9, 2025. This must be failing at a high rate, if it takes almost 2 months to get a new TIPM, and follows 2 or 3 previous recalls by you for the same failure on previous years.

Rear view camera went blank

While on the highway, cruising at 65 mph, the electronic stability control warning light started flashing and the brakes started to be applied automatically and almost caused an accident and rollover. No trouble codes are shown or captured and dealership can not reproduce the issue. However it has happened more than 5 times and only while on the highway at cruising speeds.

My jeep was on the rode approximately 5-10 minutes. Stopped at a light. Loud screech and instrument panel went haywire blinking. Before the traffic light could turn green smoke poured through the dashboard and vehicle was on fire. I was able to unlock the car doors and get out before the electrical shut down and locked me in. The car was towed to my mechanic were I was told it was an electrical fire probably manufactures defect. Car is now being towed to the dealership. I have contacted the dealership and corporate Jeep. I was told they were sending an investigator but when I called on 2/16/2022 to get a rental, that I am entitled to with my car , I was told the case was closed. I am not getting a lot of cooperation. The car is available to be inspected. There were no warning lights prior to the screech and smoke. Car was purchased 12/2020 for $35k. Battery is shot so I can not see mileage but my guess is around 40-45,000. Car was not moving it was stopped at a light.

MY POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD WORK SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES MY DOOR WOULD REMAIN LOCKED AND I COULDN'T EVEN UNLOCK IT MANUALLY I WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL ACROSS CONSOLE AND USE OTHER DOOR

Steering wheel controls started working intermittently than quit. Vehicle is RHD and used on a rural mail route. Why weren't all RHD JKU vehicles included in NHTSA recall 16V-288 when this is a documented recall for 2007 to 2016 RHD Jeep JKUs? This problem occurred around June 16 2021. Went to dealer and asked about problem and was told my extended warranty does not cover this.

Jeep has been randomly just shutting off- whether I have been driving for an hour, or the following day- when I go to start it, all lights show up but it will not turn on. I get out of the car with the key and find that my remote start always works. I have taken my car to the dealership, they said I need a new battery? I got the battery checked two weeks ago and all was fine. Several times that my car does not turn on the electrial light shows up on my dash. I have found many people have had this same issue- however MOPAR has not recalled it. Recall Number 18V524000, Report Data Aug 9, 2018- Electrical System- Wiring, front underhood. __The powertrain control module may be equipped with a voltage regulator chip in the circuit board that may fail, causing a stall or a no start condition. I have seen the electrical light on my dashboard, however this is always random. The dealership says to replace the battery, which when they sent over the results they didnt even show what it mesaured. This seems to an issue with fellow Jeep owners and should be recalled and added to the MOPAR website.

FAULTY BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HEATER WOULD BLOW AIR BUT IT WOULD NOT GET HOT. UPON INSPECTION THE MECHANIC FOUND THE CHEAPLY MADE PART HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY RESEARCH ONLINE HAS FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM IN NEWER MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!!
