While driving my vehicle on a major highway several lights came on and I was notified that the antilock break system had been disengaged while driving. I was terrified driving this vehicle down a major highway but manage to make it home after pulling over several times when the vehicle seamed loose control. Once the vehicle was started the next day the following malfunction were emailed to me. The vehicle would not turn off for several hours, windshield wipers were running while in the off position, and the screen indicated that the vehicle was a rubicon, despite it being a Sahara. It was incredibly alarming not being able to turn this vehicle off after several attempts. The vehicle eventually turned off but upon restarting the vehicle the malfunctions would occur in addition to not being able to shift gears. 2) Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light Electronic Throttle Control (1) Brakes & Suspension Antilock Brake System (1) Safety Air Bags

Back in July 2022, I went to turn on my Wrangler and the light show began. Took it to the dealership where they identified over 50 error codes. Some of the main ones I was able to see in the instrument cluster were "Service Shifter", "Service Antilock Break System", "Service 4WD", "Traction control Failure" and "Emergency Break" light on when E-Break was not engaged. Four (4) Months later and over 10 back and forth visits to the dealership, the problem still persists after being told "we test drove it 50+ miles and we see no problem". They have since replaced three (3) Body Control Modules. Why am I writing this report? Because in the situation when those warning lamps turn on and I am actively driving the vehicle, I've experienced the following concerns: 1.) Stopped at a stop light and the engine shut off. Then it takes a few frantic tries to turn the vehicle back on - this happened twice. 2.) Drove on the highway when the gears stopped shifting causing the engine to rev incredibly fast - this happened once. 3.) Increased resistance from steering wheel while steering while on highway speeds. 4.) Gear shifter locks - happens often, but typically only when I initially turn on the vehicle; Doesn't allow to move the shifter out of Park. As you'll see by my answers on the form, my vehicle has low miles and is kept in prestine condition.

Continued "death wobble" after suggested repair by dealership.

Service Axle Locker System warning light and message warning have been coming in for over a year. I've taken the vehicle for service and dealer stated no trouble found. After 4 wheeling the axle lockers do not disengage properly and require me to drive for miles before the axle lock light indicator goes away. I've been getting the warning light more frequently when I drive and the warning message service axle locker system displays. I've also had rear differential noise/clunking when moving from park to reverse or drive. Dealer stated that is normal.

When on the highway going over 55 MPH and hitting a bump the steering wheel and entire vehicle begins to move rapidly and violently from side to side. This causes your vehicle to feel like it's losing control. The only way to stop this from continuing is to slow the vehicle down significantly. This presents a significant danger of losing control because of the shaking or being hit from behind on the highway due to slowing down significantly. The dealer has attempted to repair this defect twice within the last 2 months by replacing the steering damper and it is still occurring. No warning messages are illuminated when this occurs.

Severe front in wobble. Took 3 visits to get it fixed. Bubbling paint, was in the shop 5 weeks for repaint. Loud whining noise in the drive train, still waiting on dealership to address, hopefully I won't get stranded in the mean time.

The entire clutch system failed and the vehicle passenger compartment filled with smoke. It was difficult to breath and burned my eyes I had to pull over immediately. I had the the vehicle towed to the dealer, upon arrival the dealer indicated that there was a safety recall that was limited to “computer components” and involved a software fix. They then proceed to tell me that the the entire clutch system had failed and they could not tell if it was my driving or the recall parts that had impacted. They then proceed to hand me a $2,000+ repair bill, this is a top of the line vehicle less than three 4 years old with no more than 43k miles. I reached out to Jeep/Mopar/FCA/Stallantis whatever they are going by today, and was referred back to the dealer without any resolution.

After switching to four wheel drive my jeep indicates that the axle locker needs service. I only used the lockers on it once back in 2019 during September. I was on gravel road and the light came on. Picture below is not mine but that is the error that occurs. Also seems like my lockers at engaged at all times.

Vehicle under recall since January. Received email in April that part was available. Called dealer who said not available. Went again today to dealer who says part is not available. Do not want to drive a vehicle that could catch fire with our child in it!

The check engine light came on one evening. The next morning during driving the dashboard flashed a "Service Shifter" warning. Then a series of other warnings all light up. The dashboard flashed like it was malfunctioning. The Jeep lost power steering and stuck in the current gear I was in. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. They have had it now for four days. And, they have no idea what's wrong with it.

Service Axle Locker System light appears on dashboard. If the axle locker engages accidentally in the wrong conditions, it could cause a crash. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer three times. This is the 3rd visit to the dealer. The first time they said they would change the axle, but then it was on backorder so they flushed the differential and cleaned some metal parts they said was fouling the sensor. I drove it away and they same problem occurred. The second visit they changed a sensor. Now the problem is back and I'm waiting to hear their "solution".

WITH ONLY 266 MILES ON THE WRANGLER, THE AUTOMATIC 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE FREEWAY. IT BECAME VERY JERKY AND APPEARD TO BE DOWN SHIFTING WHILE ACCELERATING. I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION. I GOT UP TO 3RD GEAR AND THEN IT STARTED DOWN SHIFTING AGAIN. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY AND I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE BLOCKING A LANE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A REAR END COLISSION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE D ON THE CENTER COUNSEL WAS BLINKING. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND TRIED TO BACK UP A FEW FEET AND IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE R ON THE COUNSEL WAS ALSO BLINKING. I WAS AFFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE WRANGLER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR LESS THAN 7 DAYS EARLIER. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 6 DAYS AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE FACTORY FOR ADVISE ON HOW TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE WAITING FOR TOOLS SO THEY CAN BEGIN THE REPAIR. THIS IS A 4 DOOR RUBICON WITH THE 2.0 LITER ETROQUE TURBO ENGINE. I PURCHASED THE JEEP NEW ON JAN 30TH, 2020.THE MANUFACTURING DATE ON THE DOOR JAM INDICATES THIS JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY 2019, I THINK ON THE 26TH.

THE FRONT WHEELS SHIMMY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN HITTING A SLIGHT UNEVEN SEAM OR JOINT IN THE ROAD BED, THE DEALER PUT A DAMPENER ON BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE, JUST NOT AS PRONOUNCED. THE DRIVE TRAIN / TRANSMISSION / DIFFERENTIAL HAS "LOCKED UP" VIOLENTLY STOPPING THE JEEP, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR BUT I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. BOTH TIMES I WAS MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD IN DRIVE JUST LEAVING A PARKING SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I PUT IT IN PARK, THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND IT MOVED NORMALLY. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL ON METAL WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IS VERY SUDDEN!
