AIR BAGS
ON MY 09 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON AND OFF DURING MY DAILY COMUTE AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLES AIBAGS. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 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 2008 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. AT FIRST MY HORN STOP WORKING (ALSO CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING) AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT I HAD TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER A LITTLE DEEPER WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON.

AIR BAGS
THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNING. THE CLOCK SPRING IS DEFECTIVE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART AND I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT BEING CHOSEN FOR THE RECALL WHEN IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS ALL THE VEHICLES THAT ARE RECALLED. I AM NERVOUS TO WAIT FOR IT TO POSSIBLY GET RECALLED IN CASE I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

SUSPENSION
USUALLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP, THE TIRE(S) BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND DO NOT STOP UNTIL SLOWING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY OR COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP OWNERS AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO ON MY JEEP AND APPEARS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
A FEW WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE RHD CLOCK SPRING REDESIGNED STYLE I KEPT GOING OUT OF CONTROL ON TURNS,AND WHEN THE ROAD WAS COVERED IN SNOW THE WHEELS WOULD LOCK UP AND I WOULD GO OUT OF CONTROL AND SPIN IN A CIRCLE. THE NEW DESIGN CLOCK SPRING DIDN'T WORK FROM THE BEGINNING,AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC EVENT A NEW OLD STYLE CLOCKSPRING HAD TO BE INSTALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE 7TH TIME

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS OUT WHEN FILLING TANK AT GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS OR SO. (OUR JEEP HAS NOT BEEN A PRIMARY VEHICLE UNTIL RECENTLY) I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OF THE OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN OVER THE LAST 32 YEARS. WE HAD PLANNED TO LET OUR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD BE TOO DANGEROUS IN ITS CURRENT STATE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED IS SIGNIFICANT. I AM WRITING YOU NOW BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAD IT SPILL OUT ON HER TODAY.

THE PROBLEM IS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE ON THERE OWN WITH NO CONTROL. THE GAUGE CLUSTER SHUTS DOWN AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON. YOU LOOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS. THE RADIO TURNS OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS MAY OCCOUR AT ANY TIME.
