  1. Auto Start/Stop issue continues even after aux battery replacement.

    With the vehicle off, Did you try unplugging and reconnecting momentarily the battery current sensor (sandwiched between the negative cable strap and the negative battery post).

    On my 2018 JLU Sahara 3.6 with ESS (not etorque) the original batteries (main and aux) were replaced under warranty back in 2020. Everything has worked great with Auto Stop-Start (seldom used since it's a six-speed manual, only goes into ESS when the shift is in Neutral and the clutch is...
  3. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

  4. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Is it the same clutch assembly as before? Mine failed at 35k started slipping at highway speed. I just had the clutch replaced with OEM.

  6. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Has anyone heard (other than speculation) what the latest clutch recall (19A) fix entails? I sure hope itā€™s a redesigned clutch and extension of the warranty 60-100k miles.
  7. Clutch and pressure plate issues

    Likewise! Mine failed at 35k miles after 2 recalls and $3300 to fix. Iā€™ve driven sticks for 52 years and never have worn out a clutch. My replacement clutch was factory parts so it will be interesting to see what the fix is. Mine started slipping during normal interstate driving in 4th...

  14. Anyone else had Water/Moisture inside radio screen like this?

    Not only did my Uconnect have visible delamination, but also had spurious random behavior like constantly asking over and over if I wanted to set the time.

  19. How Many Miles on Your Manual Transmission/Clutch?

  20. Second theft in 3 months - Do I get rid of my wrangler?

    Buy a couple of replica, but very realistic looking rattlesnakes. Put one on the dashboard and another on the drivers seat. Put an empty reptile cage on the front floorboard with the cage door open. It worked 50 years ago after a former Nissan Patrol owner had his vehicle stolen in Phoenix.
