ON A 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.

BROUGHT MY JEEP TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO HAVE CRANK CASE AND TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGED. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT WAS IN DIRE STRAIGHT. THERE ARE 16 BOLTS; 8 AT EACH END THAT KEEP THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE. 1 WAS COMPLETELY MISSING, 12 WERE BROKEN (IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON MULTIPLE BOLTS) AND 3 BOLTS WERE ALL THAT WAS KEEPING THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE AND THEY WERE ALL ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF THE SHAFT. THE SHOP INSISTED THAT I SEE IT FIRST HAND AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I WAS COMPLETELY HORRIFIED, THERE IS NO TELLING HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY. I AM NOT HARD ON MY VEHICLE, I DON'T HOT ROD, OFF ROAD OR GO MUDDING. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM AND THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T DISCOVER ANYTHING DURING THEIR "UMPTEEN" VEHICLE POINT INSPECTION. THE ONLY THING I CAN FIGURE IS THAT THE FACTORY TORQUED THE BOLTS TOO HARD OR USED DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT OR BOTH. THE COMPLACENCY IN QUALITY CONTROL IS DISTURBING; MY LIFE MATTERS AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THAT PART DECIDED TO LET GO. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FOR RIGHT HAND STEERING 2009 JEEP WRANGLERS AND HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THIS ISSUE YET HAS DONE NOTHING FOR OTHER AFFECTED MODELS. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN RESULT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT PUTS ALL CUSTOMERS AT RISK. WHETHER THE STEERING IS RIGHT HAND, LEFT HAND, 2007 OR 2009, THEY ARE ALL AFFECTED YET CHRYSLER CHOOSES THE SAME PATH AS GM AND THEIR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES BY RECALLING OR EXTENDING WARRANTIES TO ONLY FIX THOSE THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO FIX AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SAFETY OF THEIR OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART IN THEIR STEERING COLUMNS.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS NOZZLE KICKS OFF THEN FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK AND GOES EVERY WHERE, ANY WHERE FROM A QUART TO MORE. I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED TO MANY TIMES AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH GAS ON MY CLOTHES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FROM RISK OF FIRE BUT FROM BREATHING GAS FUMES ON ONES CLOTHES. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASK WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T ISSUE RECALLS UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED.

AIRBAG WARNING CHIME AND LIGHT COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BOTH RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. CAUSE OF FAILURE IS BAD AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS BUT DOES NOT COVER LEFT HAND DRIVE WRANGLES. I AM A AVID OFF ROAD ENTHUSIAST AND BELIEVE THE EXPOSURE TO DIRT/DUST IS THE ROOT CAUSE. THIS WAS THE FINDING WITH RHD JEEPS DUE THE NATURE OF POSTAL SERVICE USE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS USED OFF ROAD WITH THE DOORS REMOVED I DO FEEL THE CONDITIONS ARE CLOSE TO WHAT A POSTAL JEEP MAY EXPERIENCE.

OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, I HAVE EXPERIENCED INCREASING ISSUES WITH MY WRANGLER IN THAT IT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN I AM DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH AND HIT EVEN SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD.
