Top 10 Jeep Issues

Jeeps often keep running even when there are issues with them. We’ve heard many Jeep owners say, “I can’t believe it needs that much work, I haven’t done anything to it in years!” Jeeps just keep on truckin’!

Here are some of the more common repair and maintenance issues that jeep owners may encounter:

1. Death Wobble – at high speeds, especially after hitting a bump, the steering wheel may shake & violently vibrate to the point that some drivers report their Jeep becomes difficult to handle. Jeep death wobble is usually caused by worn or damaged steering or suspension components.
2. Ticking sound coming from the engine bay – the exhaust manifold may develop cracks after a number of heating up and cooling down cycles, and start to leak. If your exhaust is leaking you could notice a ticking sound emanating from the engine bay, reduced fuel mileage, or even a smell of exhaust in the engine bay: This a well-known issue and in most cases, replacing manifolds are often designed to better withstand cracking.
3. Rough idling, misfires, or engine stumbling – a result of Clogged Fuel Injectors. Deposits build up on the injectors and have a tendency to disrupt the flow of fuel. Numerous Jeepers swear by various fuel additives that clean the injectors as you run the engine. If you try one of these and it doesn’t help, replacing the injectors may be required.
4. Hard starting or stalling when stopped – can be the result of a Failing Throttle Position Sensor. The throttle body can clog with residue, keeping the sensor from working correctly. This affects your fuel air ratio, how the engine runs. In most cases, replacing or cleaning the Throttle Position Sensor fixes this issue.
5. Horn honking and the windows to roll up and down randomly. As well, doors may seemingly lock and unlock themselves – the TIPM is Chrysler’s Totally Integrated Power Module that’s been known to have issues. This has resulted in a partial recall, but only when it comes to certain Jeep models.
6. Windows suddenly drop down into the door while they were driving – the window regulators and motors are failing and will require replacing.
7. Various engine oil leaks – engine oil leaks from the valve cover, oil pan and timing cover gasket are common issues.
8. Rough idle or intermittent engine misfire and there might not be a check engine light – ignition wires can fail and result in engine performance problems.
9. Fuel fill nozzle shuts off repeatedly while fueling – various items including the fuel tank, vapor recirculation tube, fuel fill tube, or EVAP system canister control valve may be faulty.
10. Service 4WD System warning light – software updates are available to address erroneous illumination of the Service 4WD System.
