2017 JEEP WRANGLER — Complaint #2086593
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY filed April 28, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2086593 (ODI reference 11657173) concerns a 2017 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on April 28, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 15, 2019. The vehicle had 2,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wyoming based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:clutch assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP WRANGLER cohort independently describe similar power train:clutch assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that on two occasions while driving approximately 10 MPH, there was an abnormal burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and turned off. The vehicle was restarted, and when the gear shifter was shifted into the desired position, the vehicle failed to move. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the clutch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred 5 years later. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
