AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND TURNING OFF. FINALLY I HAD MY JEEP LOOKED AT AND I CAME BACK THAT THE CLOCKSPRING IS BAD. ITS ABOUT $500 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY. ALSO IT HAD 60,000 MI ON IT AT THE TIME. I'VE BEEN ON JEEP FORUMS AND THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE WITH JEEPS. WHY HAVE THE 08'S BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOT THE 07'S? CAN THIS BE LOOKED INTO PLEASE? I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS AND THEY DONT CARE I WOULD REALLY HATE TO GET INTO A WRECK SEEING HOW I DONT HAVE AIRBAGS

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THE WIRING CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT SEAT BUT THIS HAS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE LIGHT GOING ON OR OFF. THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES AS IT IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND THIS BEING AN ISSUE WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IN EVERY FORUM THAT I HAVE SEARCHED IN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY WHEN AND IF NEEDED. I HAVE KIDS THAT DRIVE AND RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE.

MY WRANGLER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR TODAY SINCE IT WAS PARTICULARLY BAD. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 60MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER WEEK. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THE 2007 JEEP JK USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES. SHORTLY, AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THE JUMP OUT OF GEAR (JOG). IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN STARTING IN FIRST GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP. MOST OFTEN, THERE ARE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU, WHEN THE JOG OCCURS THE VEHICLES BEHIND ARE NOT PREPARED FOR YOUR LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM. ON ONE INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. ON MANY OTHER INSTANCES THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CLOSE CALLS. THE OTHER DANGER IS IF ONE IS PULLING OUT AND CROSSING A TRAFFIC LANE. LOSING FORWARD MOMENTUM CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS CARS APPROACH FROM EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A RESULT OF A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP NO MATTER IF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. IN MOST OF THESE CASES, THERE HAS TO BE SEVERAL RELATED INJURIES BEFORE THESE MANUFACTURERS WILL TAKE ACTION. IT IS ALL A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.

AIR BAGS
CLOCKSPRING RECALL. I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER V6 AUTOMATIC WITH 86000 MILES. AROUND APRIL 25TH 2015 I NOTICED THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND DING EVERY FEW MINUTES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL JEEP. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED STATING THE CLOCKSPRING WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I ASKED HIM IF THE JEEP WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECENT RECALL AND HE SAID HE "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN HIS SYSTEM". I EXPLAINED WHAT I HAD READ ONLINE ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACEMENT. HE TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY THE DEALERSHIP WOULD FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME $700 IS IF I HAD PROOF OF THE RECALL. ASIDE FROM THIS PROBLEM BEING ANNOYING , I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IF THE AIRBAG WOULD PROPERLY FUNCTION IF MYSELF OR MY WIFE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AIRBAGS- ON JAN 06, 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN MY 07 JEEP JK THE IMPACT WAS AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND CONDITIONS WET (RAIN). A VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD AND WE IMPACTED, HOWEVER, OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE OTHER VEHICLES AIRBAGS DID. THE DAMAGE WAS MODERATE AND CHEVY TAHOE RECEIVED MORE SEVERE DAMAGE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE VERY SORE AFTER THIS ACCIDENT AND ALL WORE THEIR SEAT BELTS, WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER JEEP NOW AND SAYS IT IS NOT SAFE. CAIR #28562532.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT ANY GAS STATION (VEHICLE STATIONARY) WHEN FILLING UP FUEL TANK, USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP, IT WILL SHUT OFF, BUT ALWAYS ALLOWS GAS TO OVERFLOW AND SPEW A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. SUSPECT SOME SORT OF FILLER NECK OR GAS TANK VENTILATION PROBLEM. THIS MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TODAY (1/11/16), BUT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED THE GAS TANK SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.
