THE PROBLEM IS AND HAS BEEN WITH FIRST GEAR (6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION). WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER WAS ASKED ABOUT THE "POPPING-OUT" OF FIRST GEAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DO SO WHILE THEY HAD IT IN THEIR POSSESSION. WITHIN THE LAST TWO (2) MONTHS IT HAS GOTTEN TO BE NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. SAFETY IN THAT PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC BECOMES AN "ADVENTURE." THERE IS NO CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL NOT POP-OUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY IN A STALLED CONDITION WITH APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONE WEEK AGO IT WAS TAKEN AGAIN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. WARRANTY EXPIRED THIS PAST APRIL. THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND THE COST FOR THEM TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WAS STATED TO BE $6,000. {NOTE: ONLINE WE HAVE NOTICED MANY CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO OURS. IN FACT, MANY JEEP DEALERS HAVE USED THE EXACT SAME LINE "WE COULD NOT GET IT TO OCCUR." APPARENTLY THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A TSB ISSUED BY JEEP ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE FIRST GEAR POPPING PROBLEM}

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP TO WORK WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WHITE SMOKE ENTERED THE CAP. I ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN TO VENT THE SMOKE AND SAW FLAMES AT MY FEET. I PULLED THE JEEP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO FAIL. AFTER PUTTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON SO IT WOULD ROLL INTO ANOTHER CAR I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE FLAMES EAT THE HOOD OF MY JEEP AND WORK ITS WAY BACK THROUGH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I WATCHED AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. SINCE IT HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS MY JEEP WAS DISTROYED. I PUT $70,000 OF PARTS INTO MY JEEP AND IT WAS ALL EATEN BY A FIRE IN 20 MINUTES. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A RECALL. I NEVER RECIEVED ANY PIECE OF MAIL NOTIFYING ME OF ANY RECALL. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE ISSUES UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE IT BUT THAT THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING LEFT OF THE JEEP TO FIND THE ORIGIN.

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.
