These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

PULLED OVER AND EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED IGNITION THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING WITH ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT RUNNING OFF AND ON. IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP/ CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES. I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES TO THE CAR BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND POSSIBLY BURN MY HOUSE DOWN. *TR
Electrical system, Apr 21, 2015, fire
I PARKED MY JEEP IN MY DRIVE WAY AROUND 12 PM AFTER ON MONDAY, APRIL 6TH. AROUND 4 PM THE SAME DAY A FIRE, THAT APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, STARTED IN THE DASH INSIDE THE FACTORY GPS/RADIO SYSTEM. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ALERTED BY MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY JEEPS EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ON AND IT WAS SMOKING. WE RUSHED TO THE JEEP, THE WINDOWS WERE ALL BURNT BLACK THE FIRE WAS JUST SMOLDERING BECAUSE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE SHUT. MY DAD AND I QUICKLY GRABBED TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND WHEN WE OPENED THE DOORS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH. AFTER A FEW USES OF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WE MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE TOO MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH WAS MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. WE SUSPECT THE VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED BUT WE HAVE HEARD BACK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE SOLID STATE RELAY ON THE TIPM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE LOW BEAM USUALLY OPERATES AFTER HAVING THE SELECTOR SET TO HIGH BEAM FOR 20-30 MINUTES. THE ONLY REMEDY IS REPLACING THE TIPM AT SUBSTANTIAL COST FOR A RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND VERY IMPORTANT, SAFETY RELATED VEHICLE FUNCTION. REPLACEMENT TIPM UNITS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS NO TEMPORARY REPAIR POSSIBLE. THIS FAILURE EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDES LEGAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE COSTLY REPAIR CAN BE COMPLETED. *TR

I STARTED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2 (MANUAL SHIFT) AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY (THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN GEAR) WHEN THE JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF AND RESTARTED. AT THE TIME IT RESTARTED ITSELF, THE HORN BEGAN BLOWING NON-STOP, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WASHER FLUID SPRAYED FROM THE REAR WIPERS, THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE RADIO TURNED ON, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE HORN KEPT BLOWING, BOTH SETS OF WIPERS WERE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON, THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, AND THE RADIO WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF, BUT NOTHING HELPED. THE HORN WAS BLOWING LIKE A DEMON. THE NEIGHBORS RACED OVER TO HELP ME. WE MANUALLY STALLED THE JEEP TO STOP THE ENGINE, BUT THE HORN, RADIO, LIGHTS, AND WIPERS REMAINED ON. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL - HORN KEPT BLOWING. (THIS WIPED OUT THE COMPUTER CODES). THEN WE DISCONNECTED THE HORN TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING NON-STOP. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY JEEP. ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2014 - THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF AND TURNED ITSELF BACK ON WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH. THE ABS AND COMPASS MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED. SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED. THEY CLAIM THE TIPM WAS REPLACED IN 2007. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALERSHIP ON ALL OCCASIONS AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT IF THEY CAN'T SEE ANY CODES, THEN THE ISSUE DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY WANT TO SEE OF VIDEO. I NEED HELP WITH MY DEMON JEEP - I AM TOTALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION WON'T HELP ME. THAT THING WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THESE ISSUES BEGAN IN AUGUST 2014 AND REMAINS UNRESOLVED AS OF 1/17/2015. *TR

THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND.

FIRST OCCURRENCE DEC 6TH 2012, BACKING OUT OF AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT HAD NO POWER, STALLED, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABOUT 15 MILES FROM CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP IN OCALA FL, AND NURSED IT THERE, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AND STALLING THE WHOLE TRIP. LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND GOT A CALL THE NEXT DAY WHERE THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS WRONG (UNRELATED TO THE PROBLEM) I APPROVED THE FIXES AND AFTER $677.00 LATER DROVE OFF THE LOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE ON THE INVOICE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS A LINE THAT READS "CLEANER-FUELSYSTEM" AND HAS A $59.00 PART AND A $106.00 LABOR CHARGE. ON JANUARY 13TH 2013 IT STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND COMPLAIN THAT I'M NOT GOING TO COME IN EVERY MONTH AND PAY A $90.00 DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR SOMETHING THEY SAID WAS FIXED. SO THEY PLUG IT IN AND THE CODE TELLS THEM I WAS RUNNING "LEAN" HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS TIME WHAT'S WRONG. AND OF COURSE IT'S NOT DOING IT SO THEY "CAN'T FIX WHAT'S NOT BROKE". BETWEEN JAN AND JULY IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH BUT NOW WILL DO IT ALMOST EVERY TRIP. WHEN IT STALLS COMPLETELY I LOOSE PS & PB, VERY DANGEROUS. IT NOW STALLS AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH AND I JUST HAVE TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER TO RESTART. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT A SHORT BIT. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO LONGER TRIPS, 1-2 HOURS. BUT SOMETIMES WILL HAPPEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES. THE STALLING AT 50 MPH AND LOOSING PS & PB IS THE MOST CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. *TR
