ON MY 2010 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 IS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY ROADS. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2010 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."

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ALMOST TWO YEARS DECEMBER. AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE AROUND 7 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, WE TOOK IT TO KING EXPRESSLUBE TO HAVE OIL CHANGED, IN WHICH, THE WRONG OIL FILTER WAS PUT ON VEHICLE RESULTING IN A BLOWN ENGINE. KING EXPRESSLUBE PAIR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTH POINT JEEP. EVERY SINCE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT CRANKING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THEM SAYING, " WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG". WAS ADVISED TO CARRY A " HAMMER" TO TAP UNDER STARTER TO " SEE IF IT WILL CRANK" . SO IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN TWO WEEKS AGO WHICH THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND WAS RETURNED STATING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG! WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN TODAY AND THEY FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING! SAID THAT IT WAS THE TIPM, OF COURSE THAT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST US 900.00 TO REPLACE PART! THIS HAS BEEN VERY TACKY BUSINESS PRACTICE SINCE I HAVE READ TODAY THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES!

I HAVE BEEN GETTING RADOM WARNING CHIMED AND AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE CORNERING. NOW IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE NEXT INSPECTION IS DUE. ITS A CLOCKSPRING FAILURE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, A PROBLEM COMMON TO THE CURRENT WRANGLERS FROM 07-2014. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL FOR THE RHD MODELS FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT LHD JEEPS. THIS IS MY SECOND FAILURE,MY 2007 HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MY 2010. ITS TIME FOR JEEP TO OFFER A RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ON ACTIVATION OF THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT VIA CONTROL STALK. LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER IN A SPECIFIC PATTERN THEN GO DARK. ACTIVATING HIGH BEAM CIRCUIT REPEATED THE CYCLE WITH HIGH BEAM ILLUMINATION. COMPLETE RESET OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (BATTERY DISCONNECTED FOR HOUR +) WOULD CLEAR UP THE ISSUE FOR ~2-3 HOURS OF OPERATION BEFORE PROBLEM RESUMED. REQUIRED DEALER REPLACEMENT OF TIPM AS HEADLIGHT CONTROL CIRCUIT IS A PART OF THAT MODULE. TIPM WAS ON BACKORDER WHEN PROBLEM FIRST SURFACED, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS MODEL OF TIPM MAY BE THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVABLE FOR COMMUTE DURING EARLY MORNING/EVENING HOURS DUE TO LACK OF FORWARD ILLUMINATION. ALL OTHER VEHICLE LIGHTING AND ACCESSORIES FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE WARNING CHIME. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHIME SOUNDED. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON LINE AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF JEEP. RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE CLOCK SPRINGS REPLACED, BUT THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL FOR THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THE ON LINE INFORMATION INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, SO I HAD IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE.

THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE AIR BAG IN ABOUT MAY AND ONCE I SAW HOW MUCH IT WAS TO FIX IT I JUST DECIDED TO DEAL WITH THE ANNOYING BEEP. AFTER RESEARCHING JEEP FORUMS, I'VE SEEN THAT CHRYSLER CORP HAS BEEN PRETTY NEGLIGENT IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE BY SAYING THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES FOR RHD VEHICLES. IF YOU'RE HAVING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF A PROBLEM BUT IN A LHD VEHICLE WHY WOULDN'T YOU OWN UP TO IT?

Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Feb 5, 2015
THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING THE DAY, AND ONCE AT NIGHT AT HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FLUKE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE BREAKS DON'T WORK WELL, AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. HE PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS ON JANUARY 10, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILD ON A LONG TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 10:00 PM - IT WAS VERY DARK. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND I KNEW FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES, THAT IF I APPLIED THE BREAKS OR TRIED TO STEER, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK DOWN AND TRY TO FIND NEUTRAL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR. SO I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON (ENGINE, LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BREAKS) WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT BAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS - WHY IS THE ENGINE STALLING AND JEEP LOSING ALL POWER WHILE MOVING WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD? THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW A SENSOR WAS BAD. ARE ALL JEEPS DESIGNED WITH THIS SENSOR, AND WILL ALL JEEPS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING IF THEIR TRANS RANGE SENSOR GOES BAD, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE? *TR

READING ONLINE COMMENTS DISCOVERING JEEP DID A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP TO MODEL YEAR 2008 AND ALSO RECALLED RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS BEYOND 2008 FOR THIS ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS FOR POST 2008 JEEPS IS THERE ARE TOO MANY ON THE ROAD, OVER 300,000. I ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER (STETLER YORK, PA) DIAGNOSING AT $95.00 THEN STATING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND NEED TO ORDER IT, IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS NOW.

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
