Helloooo!! I have a 2011 jeep wrangler sport. Everytime I turn the A/C on this light and the traction light turns on and makes my car shake, has anyone had this problem before???

I’m really interested in buying a Jeep grand Cherokee the Laredo model between the years of 2015 and 2020. I want to know what are the particular issues I may run into and what I should look out for when I’m doing inspections before I make this purchase because I’ve made some bad purchases on cars. I intend to pay cash under $9000.

Finally got my 4xe back yesterday after a month at the dealership for the HV battery. Best feeling ever. Honestly felt like buying it all over again. The smell, the steering, the ergonomics — after a month of random rentals, everything just feels right ✔️

Got this new Grand Cherokee from Carvana and was surprised they had new vehicles. The local dealer didn’t have what I wanted and was specifically looking for my first Hybrid and something big enough and they always piss me off and seem sleazy. Surprised Caravana took my 2015 ram at way over 200k miles on it 😂So far this ride is pretty awesome! Still have the 24 Trailhawk too.

I got a 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited sport and its keeps overheating while idle or driving and then cools down then heats up again it stays around the 3/4 mark for temperature then passes it especially when I take normal streets and have to brake alot but on the highways it cools down faster. I changed basically everything already thermostat tubes radiator even the radiator cap burped it. Check engine light on for misfire on cylinder 1 any ideas would be greatly appreciated

TL:DR(This is a letter I have drafted to the Jeep team. I have an 87 wrangler that I purchased almost 2 years ago. I drove it for 3 weeks when the engine failed. Previous owner knew it was happening and sold it to me anyway with no heads up. The engine needs rebuilt. New pistons, machined, new seals, the works. [changed my name in the letter to my CashApp, cause I don’t want random people knowing my real name]
This letter is to see if Jeep can help me with any of the cost or fixes. Roughly $1500-2000 total.)

Dear Jeep Customer Care Team,

My name is $MatterDaddy42, and I am reaching out with a heartfelt request regarding a vehicle that has become a treasured part of my family’s story: a 1987 Jeep Wrangler.

As you know, 1987 marked the first year Jeep introduced the Wrangler nameplate, making this vehicle a special piece of Jeep history. My Wrangler is lime green, equipped with a manual transmission and soft top, and it has been one of the most enjoyable vehicles I have ever owned.

I have spent nearly two decades working in the automotive industry. While much of my career was with Chevrolet dealerships, I discovered my passion for Jeep after moving to a used vehicle dealership, where I eventually advanced from salesperson to Sales Manager and later took responsibility for overseeing the entire operation. Throughout my automotive career, I have developed tremendous respect for the Jeep brand, its heritage, and the loyalty of its owners.

Unfortunately, about a year ago the original 4.2L carbureted engine began suffering from significant compression loss and is now in need of a complete rebuild or replacement. Since then, the Jeep has remained parked while I determine the best path forward.

The timing is especially meaningful because my son recently turned 16 years old. Before the engine failed, he was extremely excited to start driving the Jeep and develope the same appreciation for it that I have. My hope is to restore the vehicle and pass along not only a classic Jeep, but also the memories and values that come with maintaining and preserving it.

I understand requests like this are uncommon, but I wanted to respectfully ask whether Jeep might be willing to assist in any way with this restoration effort. Whether through an engine donation, parts assistance, restoration support, or any other contribution your team may consider, it would make an enormous difference in helping us keep this first-year Wrangler on the road and in our family for years to come.

I would be happy to provide photographs of the Jeep, documentation of ownership, vehicle information, and details regarding the restoration plans. I would also be honored to share the story of the restoration and preservation of this Wrangler if Jeep has any interest in following the project.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for building vehicles that create such lasting connections between generations. Regardless of the outcome, I appreciate your consideration and everything the Jeep brand represents.

Sincerely,
$MatterDaddy42

I would humbly ask that if you are getting good gas mileage, would you please do a video of the Settings/Hybrid screen and watch for disengagement and re-engagement of the rear wheels. Also, please report the MPG you are getting.

Please don't respond with "it's the summer heat", or "stop driving with a lead foot". I have done all the testing with almost all the scenarios people have been insulting me with, and it never exceeds 32 mpg; normal is around 30mpg.

Update:

I am very disappointed with this car and the dealer's lack of care.

Well, my 2-week-old Jeep goes into the shop on Wed for supposedly "Advanced Diagnostics".

My issue is low gas mileage (30MPG), and it is locked in All Wheel Drive.

I sent them all the screenshots from people on this forum showing that the cars getting around 40 MPG, defaults to Front Wheel Drive mode, unless it is switched into Snow or Sand/mud.

They have a rental/loaner for me. I am going to advise, "Don't call me unless it's fixed."

Update On Friday:

Service said they are getting their management involved.

Since they are getting management involved, I sent this:

Hunter,
I found a Facebook Group that talks only about 2026 Jeep Cherokee. I started posting about my issues, and I think people are coming out of the woodwork about the bad MPG on this car. There are plenty of examples of people who are getting great MPG, but only when their car switches into 2-wheel drive as a default.

You need to show this to your management. Jeep themselves are in this group. But they are silent about this. So now that you guys know this is an issue, you are complicit in this issue. And selling the car in the video you sent me, you are selling a car that is defective.

And what people didn't know until I posted it: (People are pissed that they are throwing away money because of this defect they didn't know about).

Mechanical 4x4:
Unlike competitors that use a separate rear electric motor (e-axle), Jeep utilizes a traditional mechanical 4x4 setup with an auto-disconnect rear axle.

Efficiency:
Under normal driving conditions, it defaults to front-wheel drive to save fuel, and automatically engages the rear wheels when extra traction is needed.

Ive always loved xj jeeps and comanches and was pleasantly surprised to see this one on my facebook marketplace fyp. It looks pretty solid, just the typical michigan rust but some things worry me. First is the mileage, 276,000 to be exact. A lot can go wrong in that time but ive heard the praise of these platforms going well beyond that. Secondly, the owner states that sometimes it “stumbles before taking off” which also raises concerns. Lastly the price, he wants 4,400 for it (although not firm). Im pretty mechanically inclined and would not shy away from fixing its issues and all but i wanna hear from other jeep owners, would this be a good beater with a heater or should i steer clear? Im going to look at it in a day so if it is good, what are some things i should check for?

Not official Lego since they don’t make this Army Green color, I’ve made one in gray though

Fucking amazing… perfect top down drive.

I just touched 38,000 miles and three years with my Jeep Grand cherokee, No issues so far thank god except the inscreen multimedia entertainment disconnecting as usual, will have the option of financing or turning it in soon to the dealer and not having to deal with it? dont know what to do?

I have a jeep (160k miles)in our shop that was brought in for overheating issues.

Found the radiator was leaking. Replaced and the engine temp is still going all over the place from 217 to 240.

Ended up replacing the engine temp sensor, water pump and a new thermostat 2xs one was even OEM(previously replaced last year). Still same issue and we made sure we got rid of all the air in the system.

Also verified no visible leak under the oil filter housing. Before close today we took out the thermostat and the temp was the most consistent at 220. We also checked there were no hydro carbons in the cooling system and there were none.

My tech and I are both at a standstill as to what the issue is.

I need some help

It looks like I'm going to have to sell my baby. This is a "97" 6 cylinder , 5 speed manual transmission. With 130k miles on it. I'm the second owner and several years ago it was in an accident. Completely restored by embry riddle university four wheel drive club. It has always been an Arizona jeep. Always garaged.
