Problems with 2013 Jeep Wrangler ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 *as

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.

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.

Horn does not work and steering column controls are not functioning. unsure if airbag works.

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.

Traction control and check engine light illuminated not allowing me to accelerate. this jeep has been in the shop about 30 times and the problem is still not resolved, they are telling me that i need a new wiring harness and that they will not cover it because the warranty is expired this has been ongoing since 19000 miles. also water in the passenger side floor board from heater core. seat belt broke in half and

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.

A ticking noise. valves ticking. i was told.that there is a recall on this with jeep.wranglers.

Numerous events of sudden stalling of vehicle at high speed in drive, at low speed in drive and reverse; creating a very dangerous situation involving near-miss rear end collisions. can take up to 15 minutes to restart engine. engine sometimes appears to restart with a ticking sound, has no power and automatic transmission can't be shifted into drive or reverse. other times, engine starts and transmission can be shifted into drive or reverse, but gears do not engage. numerous events, as common as stalling events, involving sudden and sometimes violent shocks to the drivetrain, which happen at all speeds, usually when accelerating. everyone knows this is a tipm issue, with serious safety implications related to the potential for high speed rear end collisions by following vehicles, that chrysler and the nhtsa have not taken adequate action to remedy except on limited affected vehicle types. substantial information exists on this known issue, including information and documentation submitted to chrysler and nhtsa. this particular vehicle was purchased new, started to exhibit this series of problems at the beginning of 2018 after 60,000+ miles, and has been back and forth to the dealer multiple times. there are no recorded error codes according to the dealer. the fuel pump relay has been replaced by dealer, supposedly, which was the latest unsuccessful attempt at solving the problem? prior to that work was performed on the transmission, supposedly, which also did not solve the problem? prior to the current symptoms, two unexplained dead battery events occurred. now, readily found information shows a link with tipm and fuel pump relay failures that allow the fuel pump to run and drain the battery after turning off the ignition. how many more reports to nhtsa will it take to responsibly address this very serious potential rear collision safety issue related to the tipm?

I bought this 2013 jeep not even two years ago and i've sank over 8,000 dollars in repair into it. their should be a ton of recalls on these jeeps around the same year. i'm a mail carrier and my first route was all paved roads. this had nothing to do with delivering the mail. these jeeps are junk and jeep won't take initiative for it. the traction control and check engine light stay on. every time it's been fixed it's been cam shafts, rocker arms, cam shaft sensors, steering sensor, clock spring, and wiring harness. it shouldn't have to be fixed that many fines and continue to happen. these jeeps should be able to withstand more being made for postal vehicles. every carrier or person i know with one has the same exact issue. when those lights come on the jeep literally loses all power, it still runs but ticks and sounds like it is about to blow up. the vehicle does it while sitting and driving. it's got a constant tick too. it's been to surrounding dealerships and i get told the same thing. i pay 500 dollars a month for a piece of crap. jeep needs to take responsibility for this. their are law suits against them, and i have no doubt the customers will win. something needs to be done. this is america, we work our butts off to pay for something jeep is responsible for, its not right.

Heater core clogged.radiator sludge leftover from casting sand in cylinder heads circulated thru heating and cooling systems cause sand to settle in radiator and clog heater core

Out of the blue the jeep would not start one morning. there were no warning signs. it had to be towed to the dealer. turns out the wcm (wireless control module) failed in the ignition so the keys were not recognized by the module. they replaced the part (would not cover under our extended warranty we purchased!!!!) and reprogrammed both our keys. $385.00 later it now starts.

When you hit a bump or even a rock on the highway or any road, something happens the front end it starts shaking like crazy its as if you had a blow out. normally around 35 to 50 miles an hour. this is happening to many jeep owners they call it the "jeep death wobble." it is a very frightening situation. the steering wheel and the whole front end shakes back and forth. slowing down does not correct the problem as some people have suggested you have to come to a complete stop. and then start driving again. this happened on a busy highway where there is not way of pulling over or on a road and it also happened on the city streets. this can cause a situation, there has been no recall on the issue but have heard many stories about this issue. it does not happen all the time , but when it does it is very frightening . this has happened several times but i have decided to make a complaint about it. i have not made video of it because you never know when it will happen, but have seen several on you-tube of vehicles with the same issue. i feel chrysler jeep should take full responsibility for it. also the electric on the blinkers seem to be going out often also. replacing a bulb does not work it is the whole socket or wiring system that needs to be replaced. i i research these issues many many jeep owners complain about the same thing

The vehicle stalled out on one occasion several months ago. it cranked and cranked but wouldn't turn over. today when trying to leave, i couldn't get it to turn over...after about half an hour and my battery almost dying i disconnected the negative connection to battery and it fired up after reconnecting. i'm reading there are 50,000+ vehicles with a tipm issue and believe this is impacting my jeep. it's a $1300 fix that i think chrysler/jeep should own.

At approximately 60k miles my 2013 jeep wrangler sport unlimited started "stalling" inexplicably. when this happens you lose all throttle control, and your power steering. which can be challenging when your in the left hand lane of a four lane interstate going 65mph. this caused a tractor trailor to jack knife and slide down the interstate... luckily, i and the few others on the road at the time survived. after taking my vehicle in for the fifth time for the same problem i started researching myself. i was shocked to find it appears to be an epidemic problem with the 12-14 jeeps with the new pentastar engines. it also appears that no fca/jeep dealership in the country has figured it out. if those were the first with the new motor, it stands to reason if it doesn't appear there is a fix, that it will continue. and i can tell you from personal experience, people are going to die from this safety issue. this typically happens when down shifting to get power, or when shifting into gear after backing out of a parking stall. the throttle is lost completely and the power steering as well. you can try to crank the vehicle, but it will not start until after about five to ten minutes. it will then start up and drive like nothing happened. no codes are shown and dealerships have no way to identify the problem unless they can replicate it. that would be the beginning anyway. some serious effort needs to be put into this, again, it doesn't appear to be being addressed, and it will only get worse as the jeeps from 2012 on get older and get to the 60k range.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. while driving at 55 mph, the check engine, traction control, and oil warning indicators illuminated. par-k enterprises (825 s 1st st, fulton, ny 13069, (315) 598-8118) was called and the contact was informed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

60411 miles. when doors are opened, unlocked with key fob, or the hood or back hatch is opened, the horn will sound continuously for 30 seconds. however, horn is non-operational when depressing horn button. vehicle was stationary when this first occurred. vehicle has not been wet inside since i have owned it (1 year and 40000 miles).

Tipm issue, jeep will not start, all instruments light are on and speedometer doesn't work. the jeep sputters and it very dangerous at high speeds.

Washer fluid and door locks stopped working. dealer says the timp needs to be replaced

Tipm is bad. door don't open or lock at times. sometimes when jeep is turned off the jeep radio will not turn off. airbag light comes in at times

My left hand drive jeep unlimited wrangler has a clock spring issue too that cannot be resolved. all jeeps need to be on the recall, not just the right hand drive jeeps.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. while driving, the vehicle lost power. occasionally, the vehicle would restart. the failure occurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000. updated 01/26/2017*ct *cn

Nov 3, 2016...i arrived home, backed my 2013 jeep wrangler 4dr moab edition into her garage bay and left the bay door open since it was sunny out and went up to the house to prepare dinner. 20 mins after coming home, we heard a boom, looked out to see black smoke pouring out the open garage door for our jeep. my husband ran down, used a fire extinguisher on the fire and then the water hose, then pushed the vehicle outside the garage and hosed it off more before the fire dept arrived. investigation determined that the front wiring harness for the headlights, fog lights, trail lights and winch is where the fire started. the explosion we heard was a small canister by the radiator for the ac.

Bought it with 36,800 miles on it. vehicle started to stall/die after start and engaging drive or reverse. also can do it coming to a stop and starting from a red light. has happened 20 times since i have owned it. happened once on the freeway in rush hour traffic. once you restart the transmission takes up to 10 seconds to shift in the selected gear. also, windows failed to operate on one occasion, had to stop turn off engine and restart to get to work. a/c blower turns off intermittently. blue tooth has stopped working with phone. i cannot hear the people anymore through the stereo.

My new to me, but still under factory warranty, jeep wrangler sahara 2dr, caught fire and burned the day i got it. it had been driven 250kms from the jeep dealer to me, then parked until the evening. i took it for a drive for about 40km without incident, parked, and had dinner with a friend. after dinner, i used the remote start to test it, unlocked it, and got in and drove off. i stopped at a store a minute up the road, left it idling, and came out to find my check engine light flashing. i cycled the ignition, and the light went out. i proceeded towards home, but two minutes later the light came back on, followed by a very loud bang, then then the smoke from the hood. i was travelling at about 10km/hr in a neighbouthood having just turned from a stop. my vehicle came to a stop, my passenger and i jumped out, called 911, and watched as a fire coming from what appeared to be the passenger side, with something dripping and burning as well, consumed the front of the jeep. i notified the dealership and jeep canada but have yet to receive responses. insurance deemed it a total loss. i'd owned the vehicle for 8 hours. it had 50,000kms on the odometer, and one outstanding recall (14v-631) that wasn't done prior to delivery to me.

Vehicle stalls at random times but most often when putting into reverse after sitting for a while. it has stalled while driving on major roads which could have been life threatening. the transmission also shifts very jerky at times for no real reason. the windshield wipers will come on randomly and usually seem tied to turn on the turn signals which happen to be on the other control knob. lights will dim on nav/radio when windshield wipers are turned on. i would say there is an obvious electrical/computer issue that must be causing these things to happen. i have read hundreds of similar complaints. *tr

My jeep was parked on the street in front of my house for about 13 hours and a electrical fire started on the front passenger side at around 3am. it burned half the vehicle before being put out and totaled out my jeep. it also damaged the entire back end of the car parked in front of me. the fire department ruled this was a electrical fire and not arson. days before i noticed the outside temp was reading at 119 degrees out side when the temp was actually 99 degrees. i'm not sure if this had anything to do with it but i found it very odd. i have read thousands of incidents similar to this some involving worst property damage and even cases with fatalities. i think chrysler/jeep need to be held accountable for this and get these dagerous vehicles off the streets asap

Airbag light displayed and will not turn off, along with intermittent chime. failure occurred on 7/15/2016 at about 37400 miles. jeep dealer service dept (autonation chrysler jeep arapahoe, centennial, co) confirmed that the clockspring had failed. not repaired due to part unavailability. vehicle is a 2013 jeep wrangler rubicon.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the vent controls failed to work for the heat and air conditioner intermittently. in addition, there may have been toxic fumes emitting through the vents when the heat or air conditioner were activated, which affected a child passenger's breathing. the vehicle was taken to the dealer more than three times, but they were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. in addition, the contact was not experiencing any engine failures before the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a manufacturer recall where the dealer replaced the engine sensors and the transmission. the service engine light illuminated after the repair. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who provided no solution after the recall repair. the contact noticed that shortly after leaving the dealer, smoke emitted into the vehicle and flames appeared under the hood. the contact was able to exit the vehicle and the fire department extinguished the flames. a report was not filed. the vehicle was destroyed and was towed to the contacts residence. the manufacturer was notified and stated that they would provide an investigation. the contact was still waiting on a response from the manufacturer. the failure mileage was not available.

Woke up approx. 0230 to find my 2013 jeep wrangler sport engulfed in flames in my driveway. the last time the jeep was running was approx. 8pm the night prior.

Vehicle stalled without warning. it has stalled 5 times while driving with no warning at different speeds and after different driving times. this time i had only driven 5 mins and about 300 yrds when it stalled. it has not started 2 times prior when leaving work. after 10mins the vehicle started and i drove it another 515 miles to dealership. waiting to see what they do after the 5th time at the dealership. this thing is going to kill me one day. it has already stalled on the interstate at 60mph. it is only a matter of time.

Got vehicle back from dealership after 5 different stallings and 3 times it did not start this is 3rd time at dealership. no code came up, tech drove 20 mins and they had no problem, said come pick up your vehicle. got vehicle back on thursday, drove friday 240 miles with one stop in the middle with no issues. drove back home 240 miles 2 days later, 3 hours and 45 mins into 4 hour drive, it stalled out with no warning. on single lane secluded road outside miami. krome ave- no passing 2 lane road. car stalled out with no warning. was able to drift to side of road, waited 5 mins and it started back up. after it had stalled out and was on side of the road, it showed the lightning bolt in the venturi symbol. i escaped death and injury again. i have decided to get an insurance death policy on me. i think my luck is going to be running out after this being the 6th time stalling and 3rd time not starting. what do i do now?????? i have put a lot of money in this jeep, with bumpers a lift kit.... i have no idea what to do. chrysler is not helping. they have had other chrysler vehicles including jeep cherokees that were recalled with this same problem but yet they cant fix my vehicle. i guess there were more rich people driving the other vehicles.

Tipm failure. blower motor for heat/ac stopped working. this part was replaced under warranty at approx 25k miles and now the problem is back. this is a widespread jeep/chrysler issue which they have come to settlements on for other models. this issue needs to be addressed for the wrangler model line.

Windshield wipers do not work. fog lights do not work. engine light and traction control lights come on and off at random. dealer advised tipm is bad and must be replaced. back log on replacement part and ship date is unknown.

Tipm is defective causing electrical faults in the headlights,transfer case, brakes and windshield wipers

Failed tipm. waiting weeks on tipm to be available. on national back order due to failure of part. chrysler continues to have tipm issues in additional to the already recalled years/models.

Jeep stalls on occasion. very annoying. usually starts right up and no check engine light.

Upon starting this vehicle in my driveway in preparation to go to work, the wipers came on and will not turn off, or slow down.this is a right hand drive jeep- i am a mail carrier and i have to have this to work six days a week. a week later the front power windows would not work for a period of time. the rear windows would work. later in the day they suddenly started working again.i now have to raise the hood and pull the fuse to stop the wipers. the jeep dealership tells me i have a faulty tipm and will have to buy a new one - $1019. it has been two weeks and they still do not have this part to repair the problem. i would guess the delay is due to the high demand for replacement tipms because they continue to use the defective ones in manufacture. this jeep is only three years old, and i see that earlier years have had recalls for faulty tipms and even a lawsuit involving older models than mine.. this is obviously a problem jeep knows about and has experienced for many years without correcting it.they obviously have continued to knowingly install faulty tipms in their vehicles. they should be held accountable and not make owners pay for something that they know is faulty when they manufactured it.

My jeep engine stalled completely. i was taking off from a stop light on a 4 lane highway and it stalled with no warning. i was able to roll to a side road. i waited 5 mins and i was ablet to start it back up, replaced what i thought was the battery. 3 days later was on a busy interstate in downtown miami and it completely stalled again. in the middle of a busy 6 lane highway, i was very lucky to get through the traffic and roll into the median. i waited 5 minutes and was able to start it again. drove directly to dealership that said it will take weeks to fix. also have issue with lurching transmission at between 1500 to 1600 rpm. it clunks into the next gear. also, getting electrical issues with cigarrete lighter. when using a charger in cigarrete lighter the radio does not work, it becomes just static.

About a year ago the jeep would lose power driving on the road, the ignition light would come on and then in 4 or 5 second it would regain power, this happened about 3 times and i took it back to the dealer i purchased it from in crawfordsville,indiana . they said that they fixed it and for about a year i had no problem's. it has done the same thing twice in the last two weeks and i have now taken it back to the dealer again. the last time this happened i was on a ramp going from one interstate to another with a semi riding my rear bumper and if the power had not come back on quickly i would propably not be here today to report this.

Jeep has been stalling for 7 months. been in shop 9 times. jeep stalls going at different spends, while stopped, moving at idle in forward or reverse. jeep will not start unless terminal on battery removed or sits for awhile. transmission fails to engage occasionally in reverse or drive after stalling. last program download appears to be a fault with the tipm (totally intergrated power module). ptm and tpm changed out due to different readings in downloads. mechanic believes now, that the tipm is faulty. jeep has stalled up to 5 & 6 times on some days.

May 20, 2015 chrysler customer assistance p.o. box 21-8007 auburn hills, mi 48321-8007 attn: customer complaints re: recall notice #p61/nhtsa 14v-631 jeep wrangler unlimited vin [xxx] customer service gentlemen: evidently a service appointment means very little to you. back in december last year, you sent me two recall notices concerning the heated mirrors on jeep wranglers. at the time, i removed the fuse from position m35 to disable this feature per the notices, and waited for the letter announcing that parts were available to correct the condition. that letter came sometime in march and i called the number to schedule an appointment sometime in mid-april and was scheduled for repairs on 5/20/15 at 7:00am. i specifically told the girl making the appointment that i did not have a ride and would have to wait on my vehicle. she told me that would not be a problem if i got there on time and they could move it through pretty quickly. yesterday (5/19/15) a recorded message was left on my voice mail reminding of the appointment today. so far so good. this morning is where the inconvenience occurred. after arriving at the dealer at 7:00am, i was informed that they were running behind and still had 11 vehicles left over from yesterday. they said they could probably get to mine late this afternoon, or possibly tomorrow morning. since this jeep is my only vehicle, that is virtually an impossibility for me. i had already rearranged my schedule to be there this morning. now i still have the same problem with no resolution. needless to say, i view this as very poor customer service at least at the dealer level and i'm not happy about it.
