ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP AND USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP, IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN PUKE SOME GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. JEEP WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT WASNT A 2007 OR 2008 MY WITH SAME KNOWN ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE IGNITION AND FINALLY IT WILL TURN ON. THE VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN STALLING AND TURNING OFF WHEN I WOULD BE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND VIBRATING VERY SCARELY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO MY MACHANIC WHO STATED IT NEEDED TO HAVE A TUNEUP BECAUSE IT WAS MISFIRING ON FIVE CYLINDERS INSTEAD OF SIX CYLINDERS. THE WAS DONE BUT FIVE DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND THIS TIME THE TAILLIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALONE WITH THE RIGHT SIDE SIGNAL LIGHT WERE BOTH OUT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JEEP WHO CHARGED ME $140 JUST TO TELL ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME ANOTHER $870 TO REPLACE THE TIPM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH 72,000 MILES IF IT WAS NOT DEFECTED TO BEGIN WITH. BARBARA KING

THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON CONSISTENTLY ON MY 2009 JEEP JK WRANGLER INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING.
Air bags, Jan 15, 2016
ON THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD (MILEAGE 79,600), 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. 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.
Air bags, Jan 12, 2016
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL SHARPLY, THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN WHEN COMING OUT OF THE TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SIMILAR JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND THAT THE INVESTIGATION HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY MODEL AND YEAR AS WELL. ATTACHED IS THE ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER SHOWING THE NEED FOR REPAIR.
Air bags, Vehicle speed control, Jan 7, 2016
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WOULD BE $500 TO FIX BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALLED ITEM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. ONE DAY I SIMPLY WENT TO START THE JEEP AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS HEADED TO WORK AND ALWAYS USE MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK.

KNOWN ISSUE IS ON RECALL FOR RHD VEHICLES, BUT NOT ON LHD VEHICLES. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NEEDED BEFORE RECALL IS ISSUED? OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM.

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 HAS A ISSUE REGARDING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTANTLY AND THE WARNING BELL WILL GO OFF. WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN OR IF IT IS NEEDED. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESES JEEPS AND WONDER WHY NO RECALL? I AM TOLD IT COULD BE A CLOCKSPRING PROBLEM.

THE AIR BAG WARNING KEEPS GOING OFF,SOMETIMES WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT UNDER THIS CONDITION THE DRIVERS AIR BAG WILL FAIL TO DEPLOY. HAS THIS BEEN RECALLED OR STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION ?
Air bags, Dec 3, 2015
AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, THEREFORE THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 'CLOCK SPRING' AS JEEP IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEARS AND NOT OTHERS - JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON ALL JEEP MODELS, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW.

Air bags, Nov 9, 2015
A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN I HEARD A POP AND THEN MY AIRBAG LAMP (DASH LIGHT) STARTED COMING ON AND DINGS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED (VERY ANNOYING)...I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT TOLD ME THIS MEANT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. I DID SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR A KNOW ISSUE / RECALL FOR CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLY IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AND NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. I FOUND A FEW SITES THAT LISTED MY MAKE / MODEL OF JEEP AS ONE OF THE RECALLS ... BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER / JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE & TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER / JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED- I WAS TOLD MY MAKE / MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET ($499.17 TO BE EXACT - SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). TALK ABOUT A SHOCK - I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT IT WOULD BE THIS EXPENSIVE - BUT TO BE PROTECTED AND SAFE IN MY VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE DONE. I AM HOPING TO ALSO VOICE MY CONCERNS & HOPEFULLY PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY PREVENT DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GET THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. I ALSO REQUESTING THAT THIS INCIDENT BE REPORTED, INVESTIGATED AND HOPE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE I PRAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE TIME, MONEY OR WORRY THAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED... HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT CAUSES AN INJURY OR DEATH!

AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, THE 2007 LHD MODEL WARRANTY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXTENDED AS WELL. HOWEVER, I HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY 2009 LHD MODEL (160,000 MILES).
