Displays, "Service Shifter". Often followed by many, mostly random warnings, gauges fluctuate wildly, and disabled stop/start, traction and stability control; and sometimes loses power steering, and stalls and won't restart. The stereo volume, wipers, and cabin fan speed also can fluctuate wildly; worst case. This issue first appeared after going through a puddle, and seems to be exacerbated by high EMF areas; this is only corollary. This vehicle has never been used roughly or off road. The obvious dangers are, spontaneous maniacal warnings are a significant distraction to driving; if stop/start is not disabled vehicle will not start after stop at intersection, causing disruption to traffic; if power steering randomly stops working, which occurs while stopped or driving, the vehicle is nearly impossible to drive, and can only practically be driven by a strongman athlete. The coup de grâce where everything goes berserk, is usually when parked and attempting to reset the condition. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or service center; I have spent days inspecting grounds, harnesses, and inspecting, cleaning and replacing connectors. There's also a long list of mostly random codes for nearly everything, including the persistent lost communication with TCM. Up to October 2022 and 66,000 miles the only warnings or codes were for, wheel sensor (rep under warrantee), and "Small Leak In Vapor Recovery System" (leaky gas cap). A month+ after the warrantee expired, at about 66,000 mi, the vehicle began to generate random warnings and codes, and became unbearable (and dangerous) to drive. My observations and inspections and limited testing (haven't probed system circuits directly) lead to an assertion that the problem is system wide; many wildly various, mostly non repeatable, codes are recorded, systems that shut down are wildly various and not always repeatable; like there's nothing specifically or consistently wrong-but everything is failing. 5V reg in TCM?

On multiple occasions I have been driving to work (45 min drive) when all of my dash lights and emergency lights go on. I am then notified on the dash of start /stop system failure(which is off), The emergency hand brake light is on, electric stability control failure, service antilock break system, auto park disabled and my radio volume going to max. This is then followed by my power steering or something locks up not allowing me to steer my car that is in motion! Once I stop I turn the car off and it won-??t start again. I have waited 20 min and restart the car which then the shifter won-??t let me put into drive! This has happened mulitple times and I have taken to my trusted mechanic to repair but was informed it is a recall on my vehicle-??. When I look up my vin no recall reported so he gave me a form of the recall. Please help me, I-??m honestly scared to drive my car because I don-??t want this to happen while I-??m on a highway or cause me to be in an accident. I shouldn-??t be scared to drive my car.

The first instance happened on or about February 27, 2021 at mileage 48,865 I was traveling on an interstate and I completely lost all power to my transmission and my jeep started to smoke heavily as I pulled off to the side of the road. The jeep company refused to pay for the repair even though there was a recall on the clutch. After I posted on social media about the issue, Jeep reached out to me in a DM and resolved the issue. The same issue happened on or about in November/December 2022. Given my past history the the jeep I recognized the same symptoms of the clutch failing and stopped driving the jeep. I contacted several local dealers to see if they would repair it and again told me that there is nothing wrong with the clutch, and it was not covered under any recall since it was fix for the first clutch failure. I reached out to jeep through social media and was told that there was nothing they could do as there was no open recalls. Having no faith in the jeep parts I had the jeep towed to my local repair shop. It was confirmed that it was the same issue. I told them to fix the issue, but not to use any OME parts. I have had many manual tran cars and never had a clutch that went out, let alone with less than 50k miles on it. This jeep has had two (on the third) and each had less than 50 k. Given how the jeep can catch fire from this defect, it is sad that jeep does not take it seriously when life can be lost.

This vehicle underwent two recalls for clutch and pressure plate related problems yet it still happened to me twice and Jeep refuses to fix it. There is now a 3rd recall in the works. The clutch plate grenades and blows a hole through the transmission and other parts. The projectile of these parts is so very dangerous. It is clearly defective. I am paying 38000 for a useless vehicle.

This vehicle has undergone two recalls for an issue involving the clutch and other parts in the same vicinity blowing apart, shooting out like a grenade, and causing catastrophic damage to the transmission, hoses, and whatever else might be in the way of the projectiles. This happened to me after I bought the car used, with very low mileage, and still under power train warranty. The dealer balked at first and tried to blame my tires until I mentioned the recalls. They then fixed it under the power train warranty. No less than 2 weeks later the same exact issue occurred yet again! (I had been nowhere near the clutch pedal and had not shifted for quite some time during either occurance) I pulled over immediately and shut down because I knew what had happened. It felt exactly the same. Now the dealership is insisting this isn't the case and that I get my auto insurance carrier involved. Simply because it projected a different way!!!!! I have been driving a manual transmission for almost 30 years now and have NEVER had any kind of issues in the past with any vehicles I have driven. This is ridiculous! Does someone have to lose their life before anything real is done"???"

Clutch flywheel/ transmission issue. 2nd time in 3 months.The other night when it happened I was on a back road and had been in 4th gear for at least 10 minutes, and going approx 38 MPH. It was cold out. The vehicle decided to only rev as if in neutral when I depressed the gas pedal. I immediately pulled over and saw sparks and smoke again before quickly shutting her down. This time I not only felt that same thud, but also what felt like a cable and a spring break loose. The clutch was at half mast with some resistance left to it.

My jeep makes a thumping/clunking sound when ever I take my feet off the acceleration and slow down. When sitting in the Jeep it sound like it's coming from the front end suspension but when I stick my head out the window to listen and look for the sound it's clearly coming from the rear axle. I've done extensive research regarding this issue on jeep forums. I've found that this is a common issue among jeep jl owners. all have experience sounds that sound like its coming from the front only to find our it coming from the rear and also to have entire axle replaced. I fear this is getting worst as many has also said that upon inspecting axle metal shavings are found in diffs.
