2010 JEEP JK - WHILE DRIVING, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING OR, GOING ON, THEN OFF, THEN ON, THEN OFF, ETC. EACH TIME WITH THE SOUND AND WARNING LIGHT. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT MOSTLY STAYS IN WARNING MODE BUT IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AT ALL, IT WILL START TO FLASH. APPARENTLY THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE RHD JEEP JK AND SEVERAL OTHER 2007 - 2010 MODEL YEARS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE VEHICLES INVOLVED THAN WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING AND MINE SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I AM WORRIED THE AIRBAG MAY NOT WORK WHEN IT NEEDS TO.

WHEN PUMPING GAS THE GAS DOES NOT CLICK OFF AND GAS SPITS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE JEEP. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED FROM A FORD DEALER. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH MY DODGE DURANGO THAT HAD A RECALL BY CHRYSLER. I CHECKED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER BUT HAVE RESEARCHED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I FILLED UP AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAD OTHER PEOPLE PUMP THE GAS, INCLUDING THE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE JEEP AT. IT DID THE SAME THING EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL UP WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

SYMPTOM WAS AIR BAG LIGHT SLOWLY FLASHING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DRIVING. SOME OTHER SYMPTOMS FROM OTHERS ONLINE SPECIFY WHILE TURNING. DIAGNOSIS IS BAD CLOCK SPRING WITH REPAIRS NECESSARY. THIS HAS BEEN A DOCUMENTED ISSUE THAT CAUSED EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PAST YEARS' MODELS OF JEEP WRANGLER (2007) AND CAUSED A CHRYSLER ORDERED LETTER TO CUSTOMERS, BUT IT IS YET UNCOVERED IN OTHER YEARS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS DOCUMENTATION ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE BEING SEEN IN FUTURE YEARS' MODELS (INCLUDING MY 2010 MODEL).

MY WIFE PARKED OUR JEEP AT THE TOP OF DRIVEWAY. CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR. SHE WENT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THEN BACK SEAT AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS. SHE REALIZED THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION AND SHE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND PULLED OUT THE KEYS. WHEN SHE DID THIS, THE JEEP STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY DRAGGING HER ALONG. VEHICLE THREW HER AND RAN OVER BOTH LEGS AND HAD OTHER INTERNAL INJURIES AS WELL AS SEVERE CONCUSSION.

YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY 2 YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN, I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE", A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES YESTERDAY AND TWICE TODAY. ALL TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH. IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AS I ENTERED A CURVE IN THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 2007 WRANGLER. WHY HAS JEEP NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM? IT'S BOTH TERRIFYING AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP.

WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 45MPH AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN THIS STARTED, A MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT FOR A WORN OUT STEERING STABILIZER, SO HE REPLACED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, BUT NOW IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN ROAD WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 50MPH. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AND HE INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET TRACK BAR AND BALANCED THE WHEELS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE WITH JEEPS, YET THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE TRACK BAR, AND CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT.

LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH, I HAVE SEEN ON FORUMS, AND I HAVE SEEN ON SITES LIKE THIS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY CHIMES AND LIGHTS UP INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, AND IT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CLOCK SPRING REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE OWNED 2 WRANGLERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON ISSUE AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS CLOCK SPRING ISSUE IS COINCIDENCE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL 2007 MODELS AND FOR ALL RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS FROM 2008-2012. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY REASONS THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE PERFORMED TO CONSIDER REQUIRING JEEP TO ADDRESS THE REMAINDER OF THEIR FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEMS.

AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME COMES ON AND OFF WHILE THE JEEP IS BEING DRIVEN. HORN STILL WORKS, CRUISE CONTROL STILL WORKS, DEALERSHIP REVIEWED AND DIAGNOSIS IS CLOCKSPRING IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP ALSO VERIFIED THAT WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND CHIME, THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. SINCE THE ONLY PART NOT WORKING IS THE AIRBAG SENSOR, SHOULDN'T THIS BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND COVERED BY CHRYSLER?
