Problems with 2013 Jeep Wrangler STEERING

All power was lost while driving down the freeway at 65 mph. lost power steering and the engine died. there was no warning that there was a problem. this could have been a serious accident. found other instances of this happening on the internet: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/wrangler/2013/engine-shut-off-without-warning-problems.php

While driving at highway speeds, ranging from 50-65 mph, if i take a turn that has a bump or am on a straightaway and hit a bump the entire car starts to violently shake, the steering wheel jerks left and right and it feel like the front tires are fishtailing. the only way to stop this violent oscillation is to slow the car down to under 45 mph which can be extremely difficult to do on the highway. i have talked with a couple of mechanics and a jeep dealership and no one seems to know what could be causing the "death wobble". this happens randomly and without warning so i do not recall when it last happened. therefore, i am choosing today's date in order to complete the form. i am also unsure of the exact mileage on my car when this happened since it has happened multiple times since i bought the car in 2013. i entered the approximate number of miles on the car when i remember the death wobble first occurring.

The airbag clock spring is not working. i've had nothing but problems with this jeep. it's becoming too expensive to keep up with all the problems plus an expensive car note. this has been the most expensive car i had and had given me more repair problems then any other vehicle.

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

Airbag light has continually flashed on/off for approx 1 month. light will flash on and off while driving, vehicle is off and parked/not in motion, vehicle is on not in motion. as of 03/12/2019 days ago light has remaining on without flashing, upon initially starting vehicle. code verified as both stored and active, b1b02 associated with clockspring recall for jeep wrangler 2007-2010 lhd and 2012-2016 rhd

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.

When i hit a bump with the passenger side front tire at speeds between 40-60 mph, the car begins to shake violently until the speed slows to about 30 mph. this happens in motion, on any streets/highways while driving straight or turning.

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.

Driving down the road, the steering wheel shakes violently left to right, and you are forced to bring the vehicle to a stop. in checking the internet, and speaking to a technician, this is a fairly common problem called the "death wobble". i am unclear how something as dangerous as this can become "acceptable" in terms of jeep performance. while i put an incident date of 3/16 on the form, this vehicle behavior has happened multiple times.

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

My jeep wrangler has stalled out while driving 2x and then does not restart even though it is cranking over. after 15 minutes of sporadic attempts to restart it starts and runs fine. i replaced the cam position sensor and the map sensor at the dealer after the first instance and drove 4000 miles without a problem. it just happened again today. it does not stutter like poor gas delivery or cough it just quits losing power steering and power breaks while i am going down the road.

I have 2013 jeep wrangle unlimited. i bought this in 2013 for my wife. the jeep had about 11,000 miles on it when we bought. the death wobble started occurring about 6-month into ownership. i aligned, balanced and replaced two tires. now, the death wobble is an everyday occurrence. at 55 miles per hour, the wobble occurs.

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.

Driving at 45 mph today on route 6 in swansea ma and the entire front end of my jeep starts shaking to the point where i can't control it. i tried to slow down but the more i did the more the front end shook back and forth from side to side. i was able to pull off into a parking lot. i checked under the jeep and there was no damage, the tire treads are not worn. the inflation of the tires is fine. i just hit 33,000, the truck was just introspected and had an alignment in september. death rumble as i ave read is common but there is no recall on this vehicle per your database. the truck is not safe to drive and due to the years is no longer under warranty. recommending a recall based on the 1000s of reports of this online. chrysler needs to make a change to make my vehicle safer. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. while driving approximately 10 mph, the steering box failed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the steering box needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 77,000. updated 11/06/2017*js

Air bag light came on, none of the steering wheel controls including the horn are working.

Vehicle began to violently shake while driving - made it almost impossible to control. upon research on the internet this is called "death wobble" by large number that this has happened to. multiple videos exist on the internet for this. the repair was to replace stabilizer but chrysler knows about this and recommends an additional part as well star case #s1602000001. this is a huge safety issue.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 13v234000 (power train, steering) and 14v631000 (electrical system, visibility) however, the parts to do the repairs were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

The car and steering wheel starts to shake violently at any speed when road bumps or irregularities are encountered. this issue has resulted in loss of control and may cause injury or death. this has been named the "death wobble" by other jeep owners. it has happened twice after dealer has replaced the steering damper. i feel the car will return to this state after the second fix and i am not satisfied with the fix.

My truck has been brought in for service twice for repeatedly stalling while in motion. it has been at the dealership service department for a combined 56 days. i first brought the vehicle in for service on 1/13/2015, after the vehicle stalled on 1/9/2015 while driving 70 mph, and 1/13/2015 when accelerating to 50 mph. my vehicle was cleared to pick up on 1/24/2015 following service that included computer updates, physical inspection, and road testing. my vehicle stalled again on 2/5/2015 while driving on a highway entrance ramp. in all three cases, the vehicle started without assistance in about ten minutes. i immediately returned my vehicle to the dealership for service. i was informed that the service department would contact the manufacturer to send a technician to inspect my vehicle. they never did. on 3/6/2015, i contacted jeep customer service requesting additional help. my case was referred to a special case manager where my concerns were rudely dismissed. i have been contacted multiple times by the dealership to pick up my truck since 3/11/2015, despite the failure of the service department to identify what is causing the vehicle to stall. i do not feel the truck is safe to drive. i have a family and will not put them at risk because the dealership and manufacturer are being negligent. i will not pick up the vehicle until the problem is identified and repaired, or the vehicle is replaced. i have seen a similar case involving a 2013 jeep wrangler that stalls for unidentified reasons posted on the nhtsa web site. this also sounds similar to the recent gm recall due to defective ignition systems that resulted in stalling and caused numerous fatalities. thank you in advance for your assistance. *tr

At 50 mph i crossed a transition on an overpass at a 45 degree angel. the steering wheel shook so hard i could not keep my hands on it. i have heard of this issue called the "death wobble" but never experienced it. the way to stop it is to tap the breaks but i could not because i was on the interstate and there were cars behind me. it felt like the suspension had broken and i was going to pull over there were 2 lanes to the right with cars coming at highway speed. i made an appointment with the dealer and took my jeep in the next night. the confirmed they know all about the death wobble but refer to it as the steering damper issue. i called jeep and they filed an expedited claim process but did not call me back when promised. when i called again, they had someone call me the next working day. he said he has never heard of the issue. i questioned him about it and explained that it has been going on for years. he did not offer to do any thing. he had called the dealership but had the facts wrong. he is supposed to call me back. *tr

In several occasions the jeep would completely turn off at red lights or after complete stops. i took the jeep to the dealership 4 different times and was told nothing was wrong. on friday 11/14/14 i was going 60 mph on the highway when the jeep suddenly lost speed and immediately turned off/stalled, i lost steering power. it was very difficult to get out of the traffic. the jeep did not turn back on until 45 minutes later as i waited for the tow truck. i was again told by the dealership that the computer diagnosis is not detecting any malfunction, really??? *tr

I've received three notifications by chrysler group llc since september 2013 for safety recall on transmission oil cooler tube coming in contact with power steering fluid return tube. i've called three times since september and received different response.parts not available, taken my name and number, will get in touch, you'll be on a list, etc. no remedy appears to be around the corner. chrysler outlines what the dealer will do to fix the issue. what action needs to occur for this to happen??? *tr

I was notified last fall that my vehicle was under recall. the recall has to do with the oil cooler tube coming in contact with the power steering return tube which may cause a fire. i have made several calls to two different dealerships and the best they can do is put me on a "wait list" because daimler is only releasing one repair kit per dealership every 10 days and i have many people ahead of me. it is now may and still no call, however, i keep getting notices to get it done. i don't understand how a recall can be performed in this manner. they tell you your vehicle might catch on fire, but you have to wait months to get it fixed? it doesn't seem right to me, so i called daimler to complain. they confirmed that the one kit per dealer every 10 days is correct and i have to wait. seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me... *tr

Safety recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234 transmission oil cooler tube - another complaint regarding patent disregard for consumer safety by chrysler. i have been waiting 14 months for resolution to this issue. the manufacturer direct me to the dealership. the dealership blames the manufacturer. nhtsa bears responsibility as well as they apparently are failing to compel chrysler to perform. i certainly do not want anyone to suffer injury due to this defect. can nothing be done to accelerate the repair process? *tr

I have been regularly receiving a notice titled "safety recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234 transmission oil cooler tube" from chrysler many times for the past year. the dealership has not made any attempt to perform the recall even though i have often tried to scheduled it. they continually tell me that they cannot get the required parts from the factory, but when they do they will call me. i called the factory recall assistance center (1-800-853-1403) listed on the recall notice and the person who answered gave me the same story; "chrysler is having trouble getting the required parts from their supplier". i am certain chrysler has the ability to build anything, so the fact that they say they can't get some simple hoses built is a ridiculous excuse. it is clear that chrysler is not responding sincerely to this nhtsa recall. perhaps, like the chevy ignition key fob issue, cost vs safety is more important to yet another american automobile manufacturer. note that the chrysler notice did say that if the dealer fails to remedy the defect within a reasonable time to file a complaint at www.safercar.gov and this form is the only complaint form i could access from that site. if this is the wrong form please redirect my complaint to the correct location. *tr

Received another recall notice regarding the transmission oil cooler tube. had the vehicle inspected on jan 20, 2014. called the jeep dealership and was told again that they are receiving one part per week for the recall. the dealership was working on vehicle #17 and i was #42 in the waiting list. at one part being ordered per week, it will be at least another 25 weeks before i expect to hear that the part will be available. *tr

Went to dealership to have this issue fixed and was told they did not have the part to fix the problem. not only did they not have the part but chrysler allowed them to order one part every 14 days! this means they are fixing 2 jeeps a month! i live in va beach where there is an abundance of jeep vehicles and several large jeep dealerships. how on earth can you expect to have the issue corrected when there are only 2 vehicles being repaired monthly! i couldn't believe this foolishness and had to contact chrysler myself. bill confirmed they are only allowing dealerships 1 part every 14 days. why you ask? because they do not want to run out of stock! they are failing to make the parts available because they do not want to run out of stock! really? we are driving these vehicles that cost nearly $40,000! and endangering our lives because they don't want to deplete their stock. are they making the parts in somebody's basement?! if i get in an accident as a result of this complete incompetence chrysler will be held responsible. fyi! ridiculous!!!!! *tr
