STEERING
LET ME MENTION, THAT I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW, AND STARTED HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. IT WOULD PULL TO THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND WHEN HITTING UNEVEN PAYMENT OR BUMP, FELT AS THOUGH STEERING WHEEL PULLED OUT OF MY HANDS. LEARNED EARLY ON TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHTLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY TIRES NEEDED ROTATION AND SET AIR PRESSURE. MILEAGE AT THIS POINT WAS 4734. OVER TIME, LEARNED TO AVOID POTHOLES, UNEVEN PAYMENT OR ANY ROUGH ROAD. WHEN I DID TAKE IT IN TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT IMITATE MY PROBLEM. STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THE JEEP WITH THIS CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WAS GETTING REALLY OLD. ON 11/25/11, 2 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS OF PUTTING UP WITH THIS CRAP, TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE STEERING WAS GETTING MORE OUT OF CONTROL AND I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY TEENAGE SON TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE. AT THIS POINT WAS TOLD NEEDED TIRES ROTATED AGAIN, AIR PRESSURE CHECK, REAR DISC BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED, ALSO WAS TOLD NEEDED FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID SERVICE. HAD TO DECLINE, CAUSE AT THIS POINT, TOTAL WAS ALREADY UP TO 325.63. THEY WANTED ANOTHER 195.00 TO DO IT. ON 6/4/14, DURING INSPECTION, WAS TOLD I NEED NEW TIRES. MILEAGE WAS 26,753. HAD ENOUGH TREAD TO PASS. THEY WANTED 1017.00, WENT TO COSTCO, SAME TIRES FOR 300 LESS. 2/21/14, MORE STEERING PROBLEMS, THIS TIME NEEDED NEW DAMPER, STEERING DAMPER WEAK PLUS TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINES NEEDED REPLACED. 6/14/14 STEERING/SUSPENSION EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD SEPARATED ON RIGHT SIDE HITTING OFF MUFFLER, ALSO FRONT AND REAR DIFF. SERVICE. COST 568.42, 8/14/14 BATTERY DIED. GETTING TO POINT, ON 9/12/14, ON PA I 79 TURNPIKE, HAD MY FIRST OFFICIAL DEATH WOBBLE AS I HAVE HEARD. LUCKY FOR ME, HAD A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO UNTIL IT STOPPED. SCARED THE S--- OUT OF ME. WHOLE FRONT END SHOCK SO VIOLENTLY, UNREAL. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER NEW. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED MY CAR IN ANY WAY, NOR HAVE I EVER TAKEN IT "OFF-ROAD OR FOUR-WHEELING". ' IN MARCH 2014 I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST "DEATH WOBBLE",' AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT, SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, RESULTING IN REPAIRS (THAT STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM) TOTALING OVER $2000.00. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I DON''T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP MAKING REPAIRS FOR AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS EXTENSIVELY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS IS WHEN I'M GOING 40 MPH OR MORE, PRIMARILY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RE-GAIN CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND PULL OVER OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY). CHRYSLER/JEEP MUST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND PROVIDE A REMEDY/RECALL AND MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RENDERING IT USELESS. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE CLOCKSPRING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART UP TO 2007. I HAVE A 2009 JKU AND CHRYSLER WON'T WARRANTY IT. THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2007. THERE IS A RECALL ON CURRENT RHD JEEPS WITH THIS EXACT PART. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH A DOCUMENTED FAULTY PART THAT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. CAN'T FIGURE WHY CHRYSLER WON'T FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTAS STOCK WITH THE PRIUS BRAKE ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT IS REPEATEDLY COMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING INDICATING A FAULT IN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. FROM READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THERE APPEAR TO BE SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS FAULTY AND MAY COMPROMISE THE AIR BAG. JEEP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT OUTSIDE OF A 3YR OR 36000 MILE WARRANTY SO OWNERS ARE LEFT TO FIX THE ISSUE INVOLVING AIR BAGS THEMSELVES. *TR

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP SEALER IN BAKERSFIELD, CA. REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS COST ME $569.43 AND I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. *TR
