Problems with 2013 Jeep Wrangler POWER TRAIN

The hill start assist malfunctions constantly, this can stall the engine when starting out in traffic and cause excessive ware on the brakes and clutch. there are 2 switches that tell the computer when the clutch pedal is pressed. one when you first start to press in the clutch and another that tells the computer when the clutch is pressed in all the way. the hill start assist is programmed to use the switch that tells the computer when you first start to press in the clutch instead of the switch that tells the computer when the clutch pedal is fully pressed. this causes the brakes to stay locked up even after the clutch is fully engaged when starting on a hill. the computer needs to be reprogrammed to release the brakes as soon as you start to release the clutch petal before the clutch fully engages. the hill start assist should use the same switch that tells the computer the clutch is fully pressed which is the same switch that is used to prevent the vehicle from starting in gear and not the switch that tells the computer when the pedal is lightly pressed which is the switch that turns off the cruise control. *tr

I have received several notices about the n28 transmission oil cooler tube recall and have not had any luck at the dealer getting my recall repairs completed. each time i go in for service i ask about the status and each time i'm told there are no parts available. i was also told that the parts for the recall are on back order and the dealer only gets 2 kits in each month. i was told that i am in line for the repair but they could not tell me where i am in line or how long it will be before the repair is even possible. *tr

2013 jeep wrangler rubicon, caught fire after coming off of a highway. traveling under 30 mph, i saw flames underneath the jeep behind me ( my friends jeep ). by the time i noticed it was a ball of flame. i immidiately slamed on the brakes and waved him down. he could barely stop because his brakes also went out( he said the abs light flipped on) my other friend jumped out of the vehicle i was traveling in and attempted help said friend in the wrangler. same friend had a giant bucket of water in his bed of the truck i was driving. i grabbed it and ran to the wrangler. i looked underneath the jeep, the flames were smaller and i could see that the origin was on top of the transmission. there was nothing i could do, i didn't have a cup or a device to scoop water to put the fire out. at this time i realized that this was a form of chemical fire. so water would have made it worse. we evacuated the area since it was so close to the gas tank. i called the on base cops and the fire trucks were there within 10. at this time the interrior was on fire, they attemped to put the fire out but the gas tank had ruptured. about 8 gallons of gas was on its way out of the tank. it took 2, 000 gallons, 2 trucks, 6 fire extuinguishers, and an unknown refill of water from another water truck to both fire trucks to put the fire out! i have 90% of everything on video. including the after affects! *tr

In early january, i contacted my local chrysler dealer to inquire about the recall. at that time, i was informed that only 2 replacement parts per months were being shipped to the dealership to support the recall notice. when i checked back on january 27, i was told that i am 28th on the list, meaning i will be waiting another 14 weeks for my part to be installed. as i understand the notice, the potential failure of the transmission may increase the risk of a crash. how many crashes will it take before a class action lawsuit is needed to gain visibility to this obvious lack of attention by chrysler? i would expect the federal government is monitoring this situation, and will act on my behalf to quickly remedy this situation. *tr
