Air bags, Dec 20, 2013
I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN THAT MY 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR FAILURE IN ITS AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD NO. I THEN WROTE TO JEEP WHICH INVOLVED A TIMELY PROCESS OF JOINING A JEEP MEMBER CLUB. AFTER COMPLAINING TO JEEP I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY LEFT ON MY VEHICLE. HOW CAN YOU SELL A VEHICLE AND OFFER FINANCING BUT THEY CANT WARRANTY A PART THAT HAS FAILED , AND IS NOT A COMMONLY REPLACED OR WEARABLE ITEM. ONLY TO FIND ITS REPLACEMENT PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALER. I HAVE OWNED AND OPERATED A REPAIR FACILITY FOR 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CLOCKSPRING ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE . BEING A RARE FIX EVEN ON AN OLDER VEHICLE. USUALLY ONLY REPLACED AFTER AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP!! *TR
Air bags, Nov 14, 2013
THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND WARNING TONE STARTED COMING ON AND TURNING OFF IN APPROX. ONE MINUTE CYCLES.I LOOKED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT WARNED OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG AND IT NEEDED TO BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER ASAP. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND SAID THAT THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING, IS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER SERVICE CONSULTANT WARNED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY GO OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN BEING OPERATED NORMALLY OR, NOT AT ALL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS JEEP IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IN DOING ON LINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME KIND. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT AT THEIR COST BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE, ALSO THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE CARS ARE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ON MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES EVERY FEW MINUTES WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. I HAVE MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT HAS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008, 2009 AND LATER JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS. 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. I HAVE CALLED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I EVEN POINTED OUT TO THEM THAT 2007 (LHD) JEEP WRANGLERS HAD THEIR WARRANTIES EXTENDED TO 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND ALL 2008-2012 (RHD) HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11019. RECALL 11V528). TO SUPPORT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE, WHEN I CALLED A JEEP DEALERSHIP'S PARTS DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME THE CLOCKSPRING FOR MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY 8 PART NUMBERS. THAT IS 8 TIMES THEY HAVE WORKED ON FIXING THIS PART, BUT THEY REFUSE TO WARRANTY ON MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. *TR

Electrical system, Air bags, Aug 7, 2013
AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE PULLING OUT OF RESIDENCE. THE HORN NOR THE CRUISE CONTROL CURRENTLY WORK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, DISCOVERED THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM (CLOCKSPRING). CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS WITH THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE VERSION OF JEEP WRANGLER, AND THE 2007 LEFT HAND DRIVE MODELS, BUT NOTHING AFTER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER, THEY TOLD ME THEY SIMPLY "DON'T CARE, BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SINGLE COMPLAINT REGARDING IT", WHICH IS QUITE SURPRISING CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE. *TR
Air bags, Jul 31, 2013
VEHICLES AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKED AND ALARM SOUNDED. THIS WOULD GO ON AND OFF FOR A FEW DAYS THEN STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS A BAD CLOCK SPRING. THE REPAIR COST WAS $507.39 TO HARR JEEP IN WORCESTER MA JULY 13, 2013. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY INDICATED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE AND PART FELL INTO A RECALL PERIOD, ONLY RH DRIVE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY WRANGLERS, DIFFERENT YEARS AND CONFIGURATIONS, AS WELL AS OTHER JEEP VEHICLES INCLUDING THE CHEROKEE AND LIBERTY. JEEP INFORMED ME THE PART WAS NOT DESIGNED TO LAST FOR THE "LIFE OF THE VEHICLE", AND THEREFORE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I BELIEVE THIS ONGOING PROBLEM FOR JEEP EXTENDS TO MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS LIKE IT. I HAVE GREAT CONCERN WHEN THE PRIMARY SAFETY COMPONENT IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SAFETY ISSUE CAN CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. JEEPS IRRESPONSIBILITY IN RECALLING THIS PUTS THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS AT RISK EACH DAY. THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR WILL LEAD TO MANY OPERATORS USING THE VEHICLE WITH THE SYSTEM COMPROMISED BY THIS FAULT. I REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM JEEP FOR THIS REPAIR STATING THE SIMILARITIES OF MY PROBLEM TO OTHERS IDENTIFIED BY JEEP AS RECALLS. I ALSO SHARED MY CONCERN OF CONSUMER SAFETY. JEEP BASICALLY SAID ITS THE OWNERS PROBLEM. *TR

ON THE 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.

LAST NIGHT I TURNED MY CAR ON...I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON LONGER THAN USUAL IT WENT OF BUT A COUPLE MINUTES LATER IT LIGHTED UP AGAIN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND FROM THEN IT HAS BEEN DOING IT, WHILE DRIVING IT I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN ARE NOT WORKING. I READ A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I CAN FOR SURE SAY ITS THE CLOCK SPRING, THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 I RECEIVED THE CAR WITH A BROKEN CLOCK SPRING I HAD TO GO BACK THE NEXT DAY SO THEY COULD REPLACE IT. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL AUTO SERVICE. AFTER TESTING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A NORMAL LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER 2009. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND WAS ON RECALL DURING THOSE YEARS. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIGHT ON IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE YET RESOLVED BY JEEP. I AM LOOKING TO HAE MY MONEY REFUNDED FOR THE CORRECTION OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE THE PART AND NUMBERS ARE ON THE PART. HOW DO I BACKTRACK THSES NUMBERS. THIS PART MAY HAVE BEEN A 2008 PART USED IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS PRODUCTION. *TR

Air bags, Nov 16, 2012
ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, I NOTICED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE(2009 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON - LHD), THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT, INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAD NOTICED PREVIOUSLY THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON, AND THEN GO AWAY, SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER, ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A THIN PLASTIC WRAPPER "CRINKLING" AS IF CAUGHT BETWEEN THE STATIONARY PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ROTATING REAR SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED A FLAT STRIP PLASTIC ENCASED COPPER WIRE LEADS APPEARED TO BE UNRAVELING FROM BETWEEN THE STATIONARY PORTION OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ROTATING REAR SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MY AUTO REPAIR GARAGE, AND THE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THE PART AS THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. THE ASSEMBLY APPARENTLY FAILED DURING NORMAL VEHICLE USE AND NOW RESULTS IN A REDUCED LEVEL OF PROTECTION FOR MYSELF IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE MATTER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2008, 2009 AND 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS (LHD) HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES WITH THEIR AIRBAGS. THE REPAIR GARAGE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON RHD JEEP WRANGLERS OF THE SAME MODEL YEARS FOR THE SAME ASSEMBLY. *TR
Air bags, Sep 28, 2012
MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF AFTER THAT UNTIL I HAD IT FIXED. IT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF WITH A FREQUENCY OF ABOUT ONE EVERY OTHER MINUTE SOUNDING OFF A WARNING CHIME. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS SYMPTOM IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL YEAR OF VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MODEL YEARS 2007 AND UP. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIR BAG. IT APPARENTLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG AND IS ALREADY THE SUBJECT OF RECALLS ON OTHER MODEL YEARS AS WELL AS A RECALL ON THE 2009 RHD VERSION OF THE WRANGLER. THEY CLEARLY ARE USING THE SAME PART ON THESE MODELS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL MODELS THAT HAVE THIS PART. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED AND JEEP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM AND I HAD IT REPLACED AS IT OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY RISK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND HAVE THEM RECALL ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. I AM CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS REPAIR BUT I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR MYSELF. *TR

TWO DAYS AGO, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH STARTED INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATING ALONG WITH AN AUDIBLE CHIME SOUNDING WHEN EVER I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT. AS OF TODAY, THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER CHECKING WITH POSTS ON JK-FORUM.COM (FORUM RELATED TO 2007+ JEEP WRANGLERS) I FOUND THAT THERE IS ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN ON A PART/DESIGN THAT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH FOR YEARS. I HAVE SEEN POSTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE PAID UPWARDS OF $500 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A TSB AND REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE, OR EVEN A RECALL SINCE IT INVOLVES THE AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE IS A JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR, 4X4, LEFT HAND DRIVE.
