AIR BAGS
2008 JEEP WRANGLER...WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. EVER SINCE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. CLOCK SPRING WAS THE ISSUE AND NEEDS REPLACED ($490). HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND IN MOST CASES IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THE SAME VEHICLE. OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER HAVE BEEN RECALLED OR WARRANTY EXTENDED BUT NOT THIS ONE. I CAN'T GET AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. CHRYSLER REFUSED ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER BUT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. TOLD ME TO "WAIT AND SEE" ABOUT A RECALL! *TR

WE HAVE A 2009 RIGHT HAND DRIVE 4 DOOR WRANGLER. IT IS USED FOR POSTAL WORK. AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING OFF AND ON. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR IT ON OURS FOR SOME REASON THERE IS A RECALL NUMBER OF11V528000 AIR BAGS FRONTAL. THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR ALL WORK ON THIS AND IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IF NEEDED. *TR

TRANSMISSION LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE THE RUBBER HOSE CONNECTS TO THE TWO STEEL LINES. TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH A HOT SOURCE AND CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. ALL OF THIS AT ONLY 50K MILES. JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR 08 THRU 10 JEEPS FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING WITH 07 JEEPS. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN AFTER HAVING THE TIRES BALANCED AND AN ALIGNMENT. A COUPLE OF TIMES IT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WITH MY 1997 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR 4X4. I CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD, INTO THE DITCH AND THROUGH A FENCE. I BECAME AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS IN GENERAL, WHEN I SAW A NEWS REPORT ON TV ABOUT IT. I HAD BEEN TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALER/SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM OR TIRE PROBLEM. NOW I SEE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN AT COMPLETE STOP AND PROCEEDING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE JEEP POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WITH A LOUD BANG, AND THEN IS USUALLY A LITTLE STIFFER TO GET INTO SECOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE USED ALMOST 3 WEEKS AGO. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF I WERE CROSSING TRAFFIC AND POPPED INTO NEUTRAL, I COULD BE T-BONED AND BADLY HURT. THANKS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DOES NOT OCCUR AND FUEL BLOWS OUT OF THE JEEP AND DOWN ON THE GROUND AND ME IF I AM CLOSE. IT APPEARS THAT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLS. THIS OCCURS AT ALL FILL UPS IT IS NOT GAS STATION SPECIFIC. THIS CAN BE A DANGER IF IT SPEWS ON SOMETHING HOT. ALSO I WOULD THINK THAT IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AND IT STINKS. VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM! *TR

THERE IS A TSB ON IT I READ BUT ONLY FOR ONES BUILT BETWEEN MARCH 2007 AND MARCH 2008 BUT MINE WAS ON APRIL 2008. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT IS NOT SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE STEERING WHEEL MOMENTARILY WOULDN'T TURN UNTIL I FORCED IT AND BROKE WHAT I'M ASSUMING IS THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. VERY DANGEROUS IF MY MOM OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FORCE THE BREAK WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP. THE AIRBAG, ABS, ESP, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON IN THE DASH. THERE IS A WHITE RIBBON WIRE NOW HANGING OUT BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. *TR

SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR, THE CONTACT WOULD SLIGHTLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE STABILIZER BAR AND STEERING DAMPENER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER AND STABILIZER BAR, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN PUMPING FUEL INTO THE 2010 WRANGLER UNLIMITED INSTEAD OF THE PUMP CUTTING OFF IT SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE TANK. THINKING IT MAY BE A PUMP FAILURE I IGNORED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS PUMP I GO TO. YOU CAN PUMP GAS VERY SLOWLY INTO THE TANK AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING NEAR RELEASE, BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUES, ALONG WITH ERODING PAINT. I HAVE TO GET A CAR WASH WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS. THE GAS GETS ON MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. THIS PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS MY JOB. THE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE DETAILING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
