I HAVE HAD SEVERAL BIG ISSUES WITH MY JEEP IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. FIRST MY BRAKE CALIPER AND PISTON WERE FROZEN DUE TO THE FLUIDS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. 2 WEEKS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY CLOCK SPRING AND THE THIRD ISSUE WAS MY ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS FAULTY AND THEN DRAINED MY BATTERY WHICH I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE. THESE THREE ISSUES HAVE COST ME OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THEM ARE A ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS BECOMING I SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES. ESPECIALLY MY BRAKES AND AIRBAG ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF . IT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED OR AFTER DRIVING A FEW SECONDS. IT GOES ON AND OFF TEN OR TWELVE SECONDS AT A TIME. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WRANGLER WITH RIGHT HAND DRIVE FOR A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THE SAME PART IS MOST LIKELY IN THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MORE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES IN THE U.S. *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN CROSSING A BUSY HIGHWAY THE SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR WITH SUCH FORCE AS TO FEEL LIKE YOU WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. IT ALSO LEAVES YOU DEAD IN THE WATER SO TO SPEAK, WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT YOU. THIS WAS THE 1ST OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS LIKE THIS THAT HAS HAPPENED. THOUGH THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN AT LOW SPEED THEY POSE THE THREAT OF INJURY OR DEATH FROM BEING STRUCK WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF GEAR. I REPORTED IT TO THE SELLING DEALER IT CAME FROM WHO REFERRED ME TO AMOCO TRANSMISSION TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT UNDER WARRANTY. AMMCO REFERRED ME TO GO TO A JEEP DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS A TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED THE SELLING DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE HOW THEY WANTED TO PROCEED. THEY CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT YES CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOTHING THEY'RE FIXING UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE AND ARE GOING THROUGH WITH THEIR MANUAL TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED JEEP WRANGLERS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FUEL MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL JUST OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK AS THOUGH THERE IS NO STOPPING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS NOT ONLY POSSESSES AN EXTREME THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE BUT AN EXTREME THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PROPERTY OF THE FUEL STATION OWNERS. I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH FUEL EMERGING FROM THE TANK AND SPILLING ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007-2011. BUT I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL JEEPS FROM 2007-2011, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER. HOW ABOUT THE EXECUTIVES AT CHRYSLER PUT THERE FAMILY MEMBERS IN A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS. I BET THE PROBLEM WOULD GET FIXED REAL QUICK! THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. THIS IS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IS THAT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN,RESULTING IN AIR BAG LIGHT ON IN THE DASH,THUS MAKING THE AIR BAG INOPERABLE!!!!

ON THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (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 HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 - 2010 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 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND.
