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.

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. HORN WILL NOT HONK WHEN PRESSED AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY. OCCURS BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING.
Air bags, Fuel/propulsion system, May 26, 2016
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM, MY HORN NO LONGER WORKS. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. I GOT THE RECALL INFORMATION STATING THAT THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY MAY BECOME CONTAMINATED, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ONE THAT IS OFFICIALLY RECALLED. I WOULD REALLY LIKE THIS FIXED AS IT IS A SHOW VEHICLE. THANK YOU! (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 16V290). ALSO, MY GAS ALWAYS SPLASHES OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S ANY WHERE NEAR FULL. IT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE GAS PUMP TO STOP AND SPLASHES BACK AT ME EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

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

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.

FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN AUTOMATIC PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF.
Power train, Apr 8, 2016, crash
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.

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.

FUEL SHOOTS OUT WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. EVEN AFTER HAVING CHECK VALVE REPLACED
Other or unspecified, Jan 11, 2016
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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD (SMALL BUMP) WHICH RESULTED IN A VIOLENT SHAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCED LEARNED THAT THIS CONDITION IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONDITION WAS SO VIOLENT I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. THE FIRST INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE SECOND INSTANCE I WAS IN A CURVE. THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESOLVE ITSELF ALTHOUGH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VIBRATION DOES DECREASE WITH SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE WITH THIS CONDITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55-70 MPH. THE CONDITION IS INDUCED BY NORMAL UNDULATIONS AND VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD (I.E.: NOT ONLY A HUGE POTHOLE). AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER AND INSPECTING THE UNDERCARRIAGE I NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL. I RESUMED DRIVING HOWEVER, THE CONDITION DID NOT RESOLVE ITSELF AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE BELOW 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (AS I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS). AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR ~30 MINS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE CONDITION WAS NOT PRESENT. EACH OCCURRENCE WAS RESOLVED THE SAME WAY BY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REST. CHRYSLER DID RELEASE A TECHNICAL SERVICE ADVISORY THAT DESCRIBES WHAT TO CHECK. MY ISSUE IS THAT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING PROBLEMS WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (MY VEHICLE IS AT 65K) THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE VICE THE CONSUMER TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OR PREMATURELY WORN PARTS.
