2010 Jeep Wrangler complaints

ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER 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 MY 2010 AND MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER (JK VERSION) OWNERS. THE CAUSE OF THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. JEEP HAS HAD CLOCKSPRING RECALLS PREVIOUSLY WITH THEIR 2007 WRANGLERS, BUT THIS RECALL HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2008- VERSIONS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER WHILE ADDING FUEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS FROM INDIANA TO FLORIDA. FUEL OVERFLOWS NO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL THE TANK AND IF I ALLOW THE PUMP TO AUTO SHUT OFF OR I FILL BY HAND. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF ANOTHER JEEP WRANGLER DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE.

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."

TAMARA RECALL, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, REPAIR SHOP CHECKED THE CODES,TELLS ME WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON,THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED. I CHECKED AND FOUND THOUSAND OF COMPLAINTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ALSO FOUND RECALL WITH RIGHT SIDE STEERING,BUT NONE FOR LEFT SIDE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, $700. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE A CONCERN BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY, AIRBAGS ARE USELESS. ONCE I AM DRIVING,IT COMES ON,CHIMES EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES.

JEEP GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE AT 60/65 MPH. REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER AND STILL WOBBLES.

MY AIRBAG LIGHTS KEEP GOING OFF AND ON EVERY MINUTE OR SO. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE CLOCK SPRING AND THEY SAID NO. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME $750.00.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF EVERY MINUTE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT GET LOOKED AT AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A CLOCK-SPRING ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SELECTED JEEP MODELS FROM 2007 TO 2012 HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED CRYSTLER ON THIS ISSUE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY JEEP IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER JEEPS. IT IS GOING TO COST ABOUT $700.00 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON MY JEEP.

JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER JK WITH GAS, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT OF THE FILL UP NECK TUBE. WHEN I GET HOME AND PARK IT IN THE GARAGE IT FILLS THE ENTIRE HOUSE UP WITH GAS ODOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR HEALTH AS THIS COULD NOT BE SAFE. JUST A SIDE NOTE, I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHAT THIS WILL DO TO MY NICE PAINT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VERY GOOD AND HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER CASES IDENTICAL TO MINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS ADDRESSED.

ABS, ESP AND TRAC CONT. LIGHTS ALL CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM. $587.58 BILL FROM THE DEALER, TO REPAIR. APPROXIMATELY 66, 140 MILES AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. WRANGLER, 2 DOOR, 4 WHEEL DRIVE. HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. APPARENTLY IT WAS NOT COVERED BY NHTSA ID: 13V176000, CHRYSLER RECALL M31.

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 AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY STORY! SHANNON H

EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS AT THE GAS STATION , IT OVERFLOWS AND GETS GAS ALL OVER MY CAR AS WELL AS MYSELF.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK GAS IT SPITS OUT ON AUTO SHUT OFF AND IS LIKE A GEYSER WHEN I REMOVE THE PUMP. GAS GOES ALL OVER MY HAND AND CLOTHES. I NOTE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THERE WERE > 900 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS IN 2010-11. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM?

WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST WENT UP IN FLAMES OUT OF NO WHERE BEGINNING ON PASSENGERS SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. FIRE ENGULFED THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY. TOTAL LOSS.

THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN MY LEFT-HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER. THE JEEP WRANGLER ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR RIGHT-HAND DRIVE MODELS ADDRESSING BROKEN AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES. RECALL NUMBER: 13V176000 IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IN THE JEEP WRANGLER. I RECEIVED THE WARNING LIGHT WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN MOTION, AND LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A JEEP DEALERSHIP (BILL BRYAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, FRUITLAND PARK, FL 34731) WHERE I HAD THE BROKEN AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $500.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 10-5-15 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, I HAD NO TIME TO STOP BUT WHEN MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HIT THEIR VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED AND SAW SMOKE COMMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY JEEP. I DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I QUICKLY GOT OUT AND MADE IT JUST IN TIME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE QUICKLY BURST INTO FLAMES. MY AIRBAGS ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH I THOUGHT ODD BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 45 MPH AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

THERE ARE RECALLS ALREADY FOR THE ISSUE BELOW FOR RIGHT HAND STEERING VEHICLES. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES 2007-2012. A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. ANYTIME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED FROM NEUTRAL/STRAIGHT POSITION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND A CHIME IS HEARD.

I HAVE WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE". I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ENTERING A HIGHWAY WITH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AS THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. THE JEEP WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AT 55 MPH.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL DEALER TELLS ME ITS THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. WHEN I TURN ON MY BLINKER TO TURN LEFT IT DOESN'T TURN OFF SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT. MY CAR HAS 66,567 MILES ON IT

CAR STALLED LOOSING ALL POWER AND DRIVABILITY DEALER CLAIMS THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AND FUSE ABLE LINK MELTED CAUSING ME TO NEED A WHOLE NEW WIRING SET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

WHEN EXITING VEHICLE NOTICED A STRONG RAW GAS SMELL ON DRIVERS SIDE. VEHICLE WAS THEN PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND UPON ENTERING THE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING, THE FUMES WERE SO STRONG THAT IMMEDIATE VENTILATION WAS NECESSARY. PROBLEM MAY COINCIDE WITH WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY. PROBLEM REPEATED FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL GAS TANK WAS REFILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ILLUMINATE THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

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}

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING WHEN DRIVING IN STRAIGHT LINE, WHEN TURNING THE LIGHT TURNS OFF UNTIL DRIVING STRAIGHT AGAIN. THIS IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL PLACED ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A COLD AND ICY ROAD AND INSIDE WAS COLD DUE TO THE HEATER CORE BEING FILLED WITH CASTING SAND. I CROSSED A RIVER AND THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMIDITY CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND FREEZE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, BUT MANAGED TO STICK MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE TEMP WAS ABOUT 5 OUTSIDE. I WAS NEAR GRAND ISLAND NEBRASKA. SOUTH OF THE WALMART ON SOUTH LOCUST STREET.

ON THE 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 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. 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.

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK, THE GAS OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE, VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY AND CHIMES APPARENTLY THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING THAT AFFECTS A LOT OF LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. AIRBAG IS DISABLED WHEN LIGHT IS ON . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TIPM MODULE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. IF IT HAPPENS IN MOTION IT CAN BE FATAL

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. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE FIRE WHEN IT WAS OCCURING AS WELL AS PICTURES OF THE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE FIRE....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/11/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK WITH GAS, IT NEVER SHUTS OFF AND IT SPITS IT BACK OUT.

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.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND EVERYTHING IS OK. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,500. UPDATED 09/03/15*LJ UPDATED 11/03/2017*CN

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. ALL FUSES CHECKED NO ISSUES, ALL WIRING HARNESSES CHECKED, NO ISSUES, DEALERSHIP INFORMS IT MAY BE CLOCK SPRING WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOBBLED AND JERKED VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. THE TIRES WERE BALANCED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IF I FILL THE TANK TO THE AUTO SHUTOFF POINT A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SPITS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, AND NOT VERY GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. SO NOW I ONLY PUT THREE FOURTHS IN SO I DON'T HAVE IT POURING OUT AND ONTO MY JEEP

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 20MPH, FIRST ON LINE TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ON ABOUT 20 T0 25 FEET BEFORE THE INTERSECTION AND LIGHT WAS RED, AND WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT DID NOT STOP AND THE VEHICLE KEPT MOVING AND IT WAS STOPPED BY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. A BURNING SMELL GOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND PEOPLE STOPPED YELLING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WHEN THE HOOD WAS OPENED AND THE FIRE PUT OUT WE NOTICES THAT THE FIRE STARTED AT THE BRAKES PUMP SENSOR. IT BURNED ALL THE WIRING AROUND THERE TO INCLUDE PLASTIC COVER OF LEFT HAND SIDE WHEEL, THE STEERING COLUMN RUBBER JOINT, SENSORS, THE HOOD AND OTHER PARTS IN THAT SIDE.

GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT UPON FULL TANK, PUMP NOZZLE ON AUTO FILL. START TO REMOVE NOZZLE AND GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER TUBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER LAST TWO YEARS. GAS GETS ON CLOTHES AND SKIN. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WARNING SOUND GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING FOR WHICH CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL BUT ONLY ON RIGHT HAND DRIVES. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE IN RIGHT HAND DRIVES, NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO ALL. THEY DO USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING.
