• 12/31/2020· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  CAR COMPLETELY DIES WHEN SITTING IDLE. I BELIEVE THE CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY AND I HAVE HEARD MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. MY 15 MONTH OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME TO BE SITTING AT A MAJOR STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIE. I WAS SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND SCARED FOR MY SON'S SAFETY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE JEEP DIES ALL OF THE RELAYS START ENGAGING AND THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED CHECKED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES EITHER. PLEASE CREATE A RECALL FOR THIS SO MY FAMILY WILL BE SAFE WHEN I DRIVE THEM AROUND.

  I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM JEEP AROUND DECEMBER STATING RECALL N28 WOULD AFFECT MY JEEP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING LINE WILL RUB THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID. I NOTICED ON DECEMBER 18TH THAT MY JEEP WAS IN FACT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID SO I CALLED THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP TO ME, GWINNETT JEEP IN STONE MOUNTAIN GEORGIA, AND TOOK MY VEHICLE THERE ON DECEMBER 19TH. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER UNIT WAS LEAKING, WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS ODD SINCE THIS JEEP IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP LATER CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME A DIFFERENT STORY STATING A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE WAS LEAKING AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THAN WAS LISTED IN RECALL N28. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEIR STORY SINCE THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER UNIT WAS FAULTY. THE BILL WAS 503 DOLLARS. I AM E-MAILING YOU BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE OF RECALL N28 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME. THIS IS A CLASSIC "DOUBLE DIP" WHERE THE DEALERSHIP COLLECTS MONEY FROM FROM CORPORATE FOR THE RECALL AND THEN COLLECTS MONEY FROM THE CUSTOMER. THIS DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE UNDER INVESTIGATION AND AUDITED BECAUSE I AM MORE THAN CERTAIN THAT PEOPLE HAVE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT IN VEHICLES TO GWINNETT JEEP FOR RECALL ISSUES AND THEN THEY CHARGED INNOCENT CUSTOMERS ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR "ISSUES" WITH DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THEIR REVIEWS AND THERE WAS A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH A JEEP PERTAINING TO A DIFFERENT RECALL. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE. I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT AND I ALSO WORK FULL TIME, SO MY TIME AND MONEY MEAN A LOT TO ME. A ROUTINE RECALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE OF CHARGE ENDED UP COSTING ME OVER 500 DOLLARS. *JS

• 12/30/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY NOT BE IN THE NHTSA'S ARENA BUT I WASN'T SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN. AROUND THE 21ST OF NOVEMBER 2014 THE HEADLIGHTS, BLINKERS, CABIN LIGHTING AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO CAPITAL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN GARNER NC ON THE 25TH OF NOVEMBER. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN ELECTRICAL CLUSTER IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHORTING OUT. THE PART IS AN EXCHANGE PART AND ONE OF CHRYSLER'S VENDORS WOULD SEND A NEW PART CALIBRATED TO MY MILEAGE TO REPLACE MY SHORTED CLUSTER AND THEY WOULD SEND MY CLUSTER BACK TO BE REPAIRED. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN, DESPITE PHYSICALLY WORKING, BECAUSE THE NEW CLUSTERS MILEAGE HAD TO MATCH THE VEHICLES MILEAGE AND THEY HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED THE MILEAGE TO THE VENDOR. AROUND THE 5TH OF DECEMBER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT GOING TO SHIP FROM THE VENDOR UNTIL THE 19TH OF DECEMBER. ON THE 19TH I WAS INFORMED BY CAPITAL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE THAT THE PART HAD NOT BEEN SHIPPED BY THE VENDOR AND THAT THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING THE PART UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. TODAY I RECEIVED AN UPDATE THAT THE PART IS NOT EXPECTED TO SHIP UNTIL THE 12TH. MY CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER IS [XXX] AND I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO CONTACT THEM ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. THE PART CAUSES THE LIGHTS AND BLINKERS TO NOT WORK. CHRYSLER IS PUTTING CARS ON THE ROAD THAT THEY AREN'T ABLE TO REPAIR TO A SAFELY DERIVABLE CONDITION IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME.

  WHILE APPROACHING A STOP-LIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (BUT NOT ON EVERY OCCASION), THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE IN MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT HAS STALLED, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE & COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER-STEERING & HYDRAULIC BRAKE-POWER. TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I MUST SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISRUPTIVE WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (FOR INSTANCE WHEN THE RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN WHILE I'M SLOWING). FURTHERMORE, THE ENGINE FREQUENTLY STALLS AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOTS AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED.

  I TOOK IN MY JEEP TO MOTOR VILLAGE LA (2025 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007). I BROUGHT IT IN FOR A RECALL OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE (N28/NHTSA 13V-234). UPON CALLING TO DETERMINE IF THE WORK HAD BEEN COMPLETED, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY INSPECTED TO SEE WHAT PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE PARTS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO BE RECEIVED. WHEN I PUSHED FOR MORE INFORMATION, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO ORDER 1 PART OF THIS TYPE EVERY 14 DAYS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD BE ADDED TO THE WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART. WHEN I ASKED HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ON THE LIST, HE MERELY SAID THAT THERE WERE A LOT. SO I ASKED IF IT WOULD BE WEEKS, MONTHS, OR WHAT THAT MEANS? HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FOR ME. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SITUATION FAILS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT OF REPLACEMENT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I COULD EVEN LIVE WITH A MONTH OR TWO, BUT AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF TIME IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES NOW IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE FIXED. BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FIRST COME FIRST SERVICE BASIS AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY COULD GET TO THIS. MY OPTION WAS TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AND WAIT UNTIL "I CAN GET TO IT". THIS IS NOT AN OPTION AND IS UNREASONABLE FOR THEM TO ASSUME ONE CAN GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE UNTIL THEY "CAN GET TO IT". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND APPARENTLY CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO SERVICE THEIR PRODUCT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. MY FIRST ATTEMPT WAS OVER A MONTH AGO. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

IF SOMEONE DOES THE MATH, THESE MEANS THAT IT WILL TAKE OVER 30 MONTHS TO SUPPLY THE PARTS FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF RECALLED WRANGLERS (1800,000) AND THE NUMBER OF DEALERS IN THE US.

THE ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN ONLY ORDER ONE REPAIR KIT EVERY 14 WEEKS FROM CHRYSLER!! WHAT?? SO, IF THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE BEGINS TO LEAK IT MAY CAUSE "DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH"...AND IT IS OK TO MAKE ME WAIT YEARS FOR THE REPAIR??? *TR
