AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WOULD BE $500 TO FIX BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALLED ITEM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. ONE DAY I SIMPLY WENT TO START THE JEEP AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS HEADED TO WORK AND ALWAYS USE MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY, AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, TURNING AND/OR HITTING BUMP, DINGS CONSTANTLY FROM COMING ON AND GOING OFF (APPX EVERY 20 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING). KNOWN ISSUE IS ON RECALL FOR RHD VEHICLES, BUT NOT ON LHD VEHICLES. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NEEDED BEFORE RECALL IS ISSUED? OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEED CONTROL FAILED, SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. JEEP SERVICE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING TO FIX THE ISSUES. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT, IT WOULD ELIMINATE WHENEVER THE STIRRING WHEEL WAS TURNED AND THEN RESET SHORTLY AFTER RETURNING TO CENTER. IF ANY FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE STIRRING WHEEL I.E. GENTLY PULLING ON IT OR PUSHING ON IT IT WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE SPEED CONTROL FAILURE WAS COMPLETE. IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE AT ALL AFTER FAILURE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL - WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE GAS CONTINUES TO FLOW WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL AND GAS PUSHES OUT OVER THE OPENING AND SPLASHES GAS OVER THE PAINT AND MOLDINGS OF THE JEEP. I'VE ALSO BEEN SPLASHED AND IT USUALLY LEAVES A PUDDLE. THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF ABOUT A PINT OR MORE OF GASOLINE COMES RUSHING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AT THE OPERATOR. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SEDE ON THE JEEPFORUM THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM, VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE.

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 HAS A ISSUE REGARDING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTANTLY AND THE WARNING BELL WILL GO OFF. WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN OR IF IT IS NEEDED. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESES JEEPS AND WONDER WHY NO RECALL? I AM TOLD IT COULD BE A CLOCKSPRING PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, THEREFORE THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 'CLOCK SPRING' AS JEEP IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEARS AND NOT OTHERS - JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON ALL JEEP MODELS, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW.

SUSPENSION
MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR JK SUFFERS FROM THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHENEVER DRIVING OVER 55 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP A CERTAIN WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSING THE JEEP TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND HAVING TO STOP TO GET THE JEEP UNDER CONTROL. BECOMES A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION IF HAPPENS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY/BRIDGE/ETC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE COUNTLESS EXAMPLES FROM OTHER OWNERS WHO SUFFER FROM THIS SAME PREDICAMENT.

AIR BAGS
A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN I HEARD A POP AND THEN MY AIRBAG LAMP (DASH LIGHT) STARTED COMING ON AND DINGS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED (VERY ANNOYING)...I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT TOLD ME THIS MEANT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. I DID SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR A KNOW ISSUE / RECALL FOR CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLY IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AND NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. I FOUND A FEW SITES THAT LISTED MY MAKE / MODEL OF JEEP AS ONE OF THE RECALLS ... BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER / JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE & TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER / JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED- I WAS TOLD MY MAKE / MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET ($499.17 TO BE EXACT - SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). TALK ABOUT A SHOCK - I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT IT WOULD BE THIS EXPENSIVE - BUT TO BE PROTECTED AND SAFE IN MY VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE DONE. I AM HOPING TO ALSO VOICE MY CONCERNS & HOPEFULLY PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY PREVENT DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GET THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. I ALSO REQUESTING THAT THIS INCIDENT BE REPORTED, INVESTIGATED AND HOPE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE I PRAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE TIME, MONEY OR WORRY THAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED... HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT CAUSES AN INJURY OR DEATH!

SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT TIE ROD END BOLTS, TRAC BAR BOLTS, AND THE BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WIRING FOR AIRBAG. REPLACED FOR $500.00 THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT FOR RHD MODELS THAT HAS PROMPTED A RECALL. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, THE 2007 LHD MODEL WARRANTY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXTENDED AS WELL. HOWEVER, I HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY 2009 LHD MODEL (160,000 MILES). THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ABSORBED BY THE COMPANY AND NOT THE CUSTOMER!

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY AIRBAG LAMP (DASH LIGHT) STARTED COMING ON AND DINGS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED (VERY ANNOYING) ... I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT TOLD ME THIS MEANT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. I DID SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MY YEAR, MAKE & MODEL JEEP HAD A KNOW ISSUE / RECALL FOR CLOCK SPRING IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AND NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST OF RECALLS BUT THAT IT DIDN'T MEAN THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE LARGE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP MYSELF AND THEN FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM FOR RE-IMBURSEMENT... WHICH I FIND TO BE RIDICULOUS - IF ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE THEN THEY SHOULD HONOR IT AND FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT ME BEING OUT THE MONEY!
