2013 Jeep Wrangler problems

“In September of 2023 our 13’ Jeep Wrangler Rubicon had an ABS Module failure. We went to our local Jeep (Gettel Jeep of Punta Gorda, FL) where they placed us on a list @number 1600. They told us to was safe to drive however use caution in the snow. As of August the Jeep became unable to drive. We have sent the module off for repair unsuccessful and we have sent it back for the second time. I have been in a rental car for 5 weeks and I am a caregiver to my mother and I a a home healthcare sales representative that relies on my Jeep for work and caregiver. We believe Chrysler corporation has done a poor job managing this ABS issue that I a very known problem and puts me and my elderly mom at risk daily. I have also paid for repairs via Gettel without results. I should have not been expected to pay for repairs that didn’t correct the problem.”

“My 2013 RHD jeep wrangler is showing codes B1B02 and B1B06. I took it to jason lewis automotive in sparta tn yesterday. The airbag light is on and the horn does not work. These are the exact same failures identified in safety recall s40. The previous owner of my car got this done in 2021 but the remedy has failed and the safety risk is back. They confirmed that the clockspring is bad and needs replacing. The confirmed the codes and it matches the s40 recall.”

“The oil filter housing is known to leak, crack or break in standard weather conditions. This can be exacerbated by extreme climate or by simply storing the vehicle outside of a climate controlled area. The hazards posed start with the slow but continuous leak of engine oil from the housing down the transmission and driveline to the ground. This is an environmental hazard to ground water and plant life. The oil can also contaminate roadways leading to slick spots in the road coupled with icy conditions this could cause for large scale vehicular incidents. Lastly if this issue goes unchecked and the oil leaks out of the engine entirely or to a low enough level it could cause the engine to seize in some shape or fashion. This would cause the aforementioned hazards to occur all at once culminating a catastrophic hazard event.”

“The ABS module has internal failure. Jeep doesnt make the part anymore, a used parts salvage yard i was quoted $1100 as a special order part they might not even be able to get, a few module repair companies wont repair the jeep ABS module because they cant get the parts, and a couple that quoted me to repair it the cost was $2K to $3k to make the repair here in Tampa. How can Jeep stop making the part that you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO STOP YOUR VEHICLE SAFELY??!! How is this not a SAFETY ISSUE that people have to drive their vehicle, not knowing if it WILL OR WILL NOT POSSIBLY HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IF THE VEHICLE HAS NO ANTILOCK BRAKES?? Makes driving in the rain hazardous, jeep slides on wet roads. Also will put your transmission into LIMP MODE, then the Jeep just doesnt want to move.. how is DODGE, Jeep, Mopar, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THIS?? We buy a jeep and then FORCED TO DRIVE A DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILE BECAUSE THEY DONT MAKE THE PARTS ANYMORE TO REPAIR IT??? Make it make sense!!!!”

“Faulty Clockspring Diagnosed by independent dealer. The occupant restraint system came on my dash about a 2 weeks ago without any warning. The clockspring controls the airbags and puts me and my family at risk for injury.The code reads: Driver Airbag Squib 2 circuit open”

“2013 Jeep Wrangler. Antilock brake warning lights along with anti skid lights are on. Trying to get a new ABS module but no luck. I understand there is a national back order. I also understand it is effecting multiple year models. Which is a safety concern. Also what is being done about this issue?”
