Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Fuel leaking when tank is above three quarters full.fuel module had many cracks where the fuel is leaking from.

I smelled a very strong sent of fuel inside the cab while driving on my way home from work. i went to the gym and ask any of my friends to come take a look at it. a puddle of fuel built up underneath my vehicle in a matter of minutes. once we opened the hood and turned on the jeep for a second, it was immediately discovered that the fuel line split. it was a long split (2-3") along the length of the fuel line. part number 68141849ad.

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 the fuel pump relay has been replaced by dealer, supposedly, which was the latest unsuccessful attempt at solving the problem?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?

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.

Is not shifting into gear while driving it-was told my another mechanic that is reading as a shift control module issue under diagnostic testing machine- should be covered by power train warranty- vehicle only has 69k miles- calling chrysler jeep

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.

Vehicle exhibits stalling and engine shut off at idle or low speeds below 60 mph. vehicle bucks/slips/jerks at speeds of 60 mph+ as witnessed by dealer service mechanic. vehicle intermittently will not go into gear or will reverse while in drive and must be turned off and returned to park, before attempting to restart. check engine light on. no dealer codes found therefore, unable to properly diagnose and repair. vehicle is very unsafe and unstable.

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.

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

About a month ago i was in the middle of a 4 hour drive i do on a weekly basis and 2 hours into the drive my vehicle stalled as i was slowing for a yellow light. there was no warning at all and it took me a second to realize it had stalled. i was able to roll out of the traffic lane onto a side road. the police showed up and helped me push it off to the side of the road. at that point i tried to start it, approximately 10mins after stalling and it started right up. i went straight to autozone and had a new battery installed, $250.00 and got going on my way home - fat, dumb and happy - until 2 days later when it did it again. the second time it stalled i was on a busy 12 lane interstate 95 in downtown miami. again i did not know it had stalled, i was increasing speed from about 50mph to 60mph and pushed the gas pedal and nothing happened. i was in the middle of 6 lanes and immediately put my hazards on and rolled through traffic onto the side of the interstate. i waited 5 mins and it started right up and i went straight to the chrysler dealer in kendall, fl. they gave me a rental vehicle - thank god. about 3 weeks later they changed out the pcm and gave it back to me - fixed (supposedly). 2 weeks later it stalled in traffic on a 4 lane hwy; waited 5 mins and it started fine, was later at the store got in the vehicle and it would not start just kept trying to crank itself, waited 5 mins later and it started. that weekend took it to chrysler in tampa (jerry ulm) they said it is not in my warranty and i paid $400.00 for what i was told was a chrysler "work around". 2 days later it would not start and it tried to crank itself. i turned the key off and waited 5 mins and it started right up and i went directly to kendal chrysler, where it is sitting today as i write this.

Gas flowing out of tank opening, not shutting off when filling tank up. has happened several times since having to fill vehicle up 3 times a week. have tried several gas stations, and the same thing has happened at all stations. it seems the cutoff valve, o ring or something inside the gas opening is not working

As i begin to pull into heavy traffic, i hear and see the check engine light warning along with the skid control light illuminating. the car then stalls leaving me sitting in 70 mph traffic. the vehicle starts back up but has a noticeable loss of power. this loss of power continued until i got home. when i finally get home i use a code reader which indicated it was a camshaft position sensor. code p0344. this could have been a much worse incident as there were no mechanical issues leading up to 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.

Following the recall number n28/nhtsa 13v-234 and p61/nhtsa 14v-631 i took my car to potamkin's planet dodge chrysler jeep dealer in miami florida 33172 on march 13, 2015. they left the car there for one day and they gave me the receipt stating "transmission oil cooler tube - replace power steering tube, inspect transmission oil cooler tube, install protective sleeve and bleed power steering system" and also "heated power side view mirror wire harness - repair install new mirror connectors and water shields." i inspected the car myself after pickup and i noticed none of the repairs were done. i went back to the dealer on march 21, 2015 and i spoke with the service department manager, [xxx]. the car was inspected again and, in fact, no work had been done. they then installed the sleeve in the transmission oil cooler tube and he told me it was the only work needed. so the previous information on march 13, 2015 was fraudulent. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

When i go to the gas station to fuel up, i engage the pump lock lever so the pump will fill up and shut off automatically when my gas tank is full. unfortunately, the fuel pump disengages too late, and an unbelievably excessive amount of fuel will spurt out, cascading down the side of my vehicle. 2 different dealerships have attempted to resolve the issue, yet the problem persists. i have filled up at gas stations across no less than 10 different states - from the west coast to the northeast; with a variety of fuel pump styles; amid various temperatures; yet the only variation is the velocity with which the fuel sprays from the pump. *tr

Was informed in september of a recall on the transmission oil cooler tube coming in contact with the power steering fluid return tube. causing a loss of fluid, loss of transmission function increasing the risk of a crash. every time i call they say they have no parts to fix the problem. it has been months and they keep saying the same thing. safety recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234. *tr

I was rear ended as i was slowing down for another accident in front of me,when my jeep got rear ended the motor speeded up as i was pushing down on the brake pedal. i could feel the abs working .only after i hit the gear shift out of gear did my jeep stop. my engine continue to run at a very high rpm. only after i shut everything off and restarted need the engine run normal. *tr

Appx. nine months ago i received a recall for the transmission oil cooler tube(n28 / nhtsa 13v-234) i went to don avee dealer in placentia,ca. they put me on a waiting list. i checked with them three or four months ago and they tell me that jeep will not send out enough parts to repair the problem. i`ve been told when jeep sends the dealer the part they will contact who ever is next on the waiting list. *tr
