What are some common issues with the Jeep Wrangler?
Some of the most common issues that you might encounter on a Jeep Wrangler are leaking oil, failure of the Totally Integrated Power Module, Throttle Position Sensor failure, and issues with Automatic Transmissions.
For a closer look at the issues that we mentioned, we’ll look at the oil leak first. Oil is essential for operating the vehicle by helping keep the components well lubricated. While this issue is more prominent in older models, this can happen to anyone.
The Totally Integrated Power Module is an important part of the internal system of the vehicle, and while older models may not see the same issue, newer ones will be more prone to this issue as we add more and more to the Wrangler. If your system fails, there’s a few things that may happen, with the worst one being the airbags will randomly deploy. Other issues that might happen are stuck power windows, stalling engines, and problems starting.
The Throttle Position Sensor may be one of the harder things for you to notice. When the sensor fails, you’ll notice that you may have lower fuel economy, lower speed, more stalling, and speed surges.
Does the Jeep Wrangler Have Issues with its Transmission?
The last issue we’ll cover is for the Automatic Transmission. While Jeep has taken steps to remedy the issue in the past, a few may have slipped through the cracks and it’s important for you to know what to look for. If your transmission starts having problems, you’ll find that it will get stuck in one gear, and when at high speeds, it may cause further damage to other components of the vehicle. Even when you have a manual transmission, you’re still at risk of some issues as noted by Car and Driver.
