2012 Jeep Wrangler complaints

AFTER A 30 MILE TRIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE OF MY JEEP WRANGLER WAS OVERHEATED, CONFIRMED BY A DISTINCT BURNING SMELL, AN EXTREMELY HOT LEFT FRONT WHEEL, AND A PULLING SENSATION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS WERE "BAD", AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 69,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY 2012 DODGE JOURNEY HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER.

FROM: CUSTOMER VEHICLE: 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT, PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. REFERENCE: PROBLEMS IN HEATING SYSTEM TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT FROM HENDRICK CHRYSLER JEEP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER, I MOVED TO FLORIDA, WHERE THERE WAS NO NEED TO USE THE HEATER. UPON MY RETURN TO NORTH CAROLINA IN THE WINTER OF 2014, I NOTICED THAT HEATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NOT AS WARM AS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE FOLLOWING WINTER, THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FADED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS BARELY WORKING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE AND SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT HENDRICK JEEP SERVICE CENTER, I LEARNED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS LIKELY THE PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO FLUSH THE HEATER CORE. IN JANUARY 2015, I TOOK MY JEEP TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED, WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. RESEARCH ONLINE AMONG JEEP OWNERS OF MY MODEL AND YEAR REVEALED THAT THE LONG-TERM SOLUTION IS A NEW RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE (NEITHER OF WHICH ARE UNDER WARRANTY OR UNDER RECALL). THE POOR CLEANING AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING HAS CAUSED THE CASTING OF SAND IN THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR, RESULTING BUILD UP THAT BLOCKS HEAT. NOW, IN WINTER OF 2016, MY HEATER DOES NOT WORK. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL OR A REBATE FOR THE MORE THAN $2,400 DEALER ESTIMATE I RECEIVED TO REPLACE MY HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I FOUND A CHRYSLER STAR CASE (SEE ATTACHMENT) THAT GIVES STEPS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING ITS ORIGINS I

THE LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER ENGAGES RANDOMLY. WHEN ENGAGED THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED SOMEWHAT. SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE COMING OFF THE DISC PADS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT I CAN CLEAR THE CONDITION BY FOLLOWING THE HILL START ASSIST ON/OFF PROCEDURE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A COMPUTER FAILURE AND HE CAN FIX IT FOR $1300. I THINK IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I'VE SPENT $1500 ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE WOBBLING IN MY STEERING WHEEL, AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I'VE ALSO SPENT $700 ON A POORLY DESIGNED REAR OIL SEAL. THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS YET TO GO OFF.

THE CLOCKSPING WENT BAD IN MY VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR IN RECALL!THE REASON I TOOK IT IN WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY.

ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR CONTROL MODULE SHORT CIRCUITED DUE MOISTURE INVASION. POOR WATER RESISTANCE IN HOUSING QUOTE REPLACE $2100 WITHOUT LABOR. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY UNIT SHORT CIRCUITED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER OF MY VEHICLE,FCA HAS ISSUED A NUMBER OF RECALLS EG S33 COVERING JEEPWRANGLERS BUILT 2007-2010 AND RECENTLY S40 COVERING ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS BUILT 2022-2016. THESE RECALLS ARE FOR CLOCK SPRING FAILURES RESULTING IN COMPROMISED AIRBAG CIRCUITS WHICH WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE CLOCK SPRING FAILS BECAUSE DUST GETS IN IT. MY JEEP IS A 2012 WRANGLER WITH ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT HAS HAD THIS FAILURE. IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN EXTENSIVELY WITHOUT WINDOWS IN THE DESERT. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH FCA WITHOUT SUCCESS . WHAT IS MY RECOURSE???

MY VEHICLE CLOCK SPRING HAS GONE OUT. MY VEHICLE HAS 45000 MILES AND IS A MODEL YEAR 2012. OTHER YEARS, SPECIFICALLY 2008-2011 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE VERY SAME THING. ALSO 2012 RHD MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE VERY THING. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CHIMES AND IS ILLUMINATED WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHENEVER I TURN LEFT, RIGHT OR STOP OR ACCELERATE.

CLOCKPIN. AIRBAG LIGHT IS AT ALL TIMES. WARNING SOUND "DINGS" OFTEN. DEALERSHIP STATES AIRBAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION UNTIL THE CLOCKPIN IS REPLACED.

WHILE BEING TOWED BY OUR RV ON A CITY STREET, A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE JEEP. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED 1 NOTCH TO ACCESSORY TO UNLOCK THE STEERING. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BECAUSE THE FIRE WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT. BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE FIRE DAMAGE, NO CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS DETERMINED.

STOP AT RED LIGHT, WHEELS LOCKED. ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. JEEP HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES, REPAIRS OVER $1200. CALIBERS AND SENSOR FOR ABS...

TAKATA RECALL. I RAN MY VIN THROUGH MOPAR AND WAS ADVISED MY VEHICLE QUALIFIES FOR THIS RECALL AND THAT I LIVE IN A TIER 1 OR TIER A AREA. BUT THAT THERE WAS NO FIX. WHAT'S BEING INVESTIGATED AS THE MOST RECENT DEATH RELATED TO THIS RECALL TOOK PLACE IN THE CITY I WORK IN AND HAS A SOMEWHAT MILDER WEATHER THAN WHERE I LIVE. JUST THIS WEEK WE'VE GONE FROM 60 DEGREE TO 100 DEGREE WEATHER. IT'S COMMON TO REACH 115 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER. IS THERE BO OPTION FOR ME TO FIX MY VEHICLE? I HAVE A LOAN ON IT. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. SO IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO PARK IT, FIND DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION, AND STILL PAY MY LOAN? THERE HAS TO BE AN OPTION FOR ME TO RESOLVE THIS AND NOT WAIT UNTIL MOPAR FINDS A FIX AND HOPEFULLY NOTIFIES ME VIA PHONE AS I'VE REQUESTED. IF THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND I HAVE AN AT RISK VEHICLE, BEING OPERATED IN AN AT RISK AREA, THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD BE ASKED TO STILL DRIVE IT AND PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK UNTIL MOPAR DECIDES THEY HAVE A REMEDY. *TR

MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES. IT STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY AND MAY STAY ON FOR 20 MINUTES THEN BE OFF FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES. THEN TURN BACK ON AGAIN.

I BOUGHT THIS WRANGLER ON 5-30-2015. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, I WAS EXPOSED TO THE FACT THAT THE TANK DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE JEEP (AND ME). THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYTIME WE GO TO FILL UP, TO WHERE WE HAVE TO WATCH THE FUEL LEVEL ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT GET ALL THE WAY TO FULL. THIS INDEED HAPPENED AGAIN JUST A WEEK AGO SUNDAY WHEN WE WENT TO FILL UP AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH A GENTLEMEN WHO HAD JUST BOUGHT HIS JEEP AND I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT HIS AND IF HE HAS HAD ISSUE WITH HIS GAS TANK OVERFLOWING. AS I WAS TALKING TO HIM YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, IT OVERFLOWED. NOW, I READ TODAY THAT CHRYSLER HAS SAID THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF FUEL YOU PUT INTO THE TANK?? REALLY??? SO I HAVE PUT IN ANYWHERE FROM 85, 87, 90, AND HIGHER GRADE FUELS, AND IT STILL HAPPENS? NEXT ARE THEY GOING TO SAY IT IS THE GAS STATION COMPANY I GO TO? THE WAY I PUT THE NOZZLE INTO THE TANK? (DOES THIS SOUNDS SARCASTIC WHEN YOU READ IT? GOOD) I FIND THAT COMMENT FROM CHRYSLER ABSOLUTELY DEMEANING AND IDIOTIC!!! IT HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE ON SEVERAL PREVIOUS MODELS OF JEEPS, BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE GOING TO IGNORE THIS ONE? WHAT WILL IT TAKE CHRYSLER? WILL IT TAKE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO GET YOUR COMPANY TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I NOW JUST READ A REPLY THAT SOMEONE HAD CONTACTED A LAW FIRM IN REGARDS TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND THAT IT HAD BEEN TRANSFERRED TO BANKRUPTCY COURT IN NEW YORK WHERE IT WAS STILL ALIVE AND THAT THE COURT HAD

TIPM WENT OUT LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH! COULD HAVE BE A DEADLY SITUATION! JEEP NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ASAP....

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME NEARLY $500 TO DO THIS. ELEVEN MONTHS LATER, IT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO DELIVER MAIL FOR THE US POSTAL SERVICE. COWORKERS THAT HAVE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL TO REPLACE THIS PART WITHOUT CHARGE TO THEM. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE, I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PART OF MY VEHICLE THAT IS FAILING. I MAINTAIN THAT I ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME TO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING HORN ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR THIS SINCE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT.

JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ROLLED AWAY ON SLIGHT INCLINE (< 5 DEGREES) WITH PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND DRIVER OUT OF VEHICLE. DRIVER HAD TO REACH INSIDE THE ROLLING VEHICLE TO PRESS THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE PEDAL BY HAND TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IF DRIVER WAS NOT NEXT TO VEHICLE WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED, VEHICLE WOULD HAVE LIKELY ROLLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION IN APRIL 2016 DUE TO PARKING BRAKE NOT HOLDING. PARKING BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED AND PASSED INSPECTION, BUT FAILED WITHIN A MONTH.

JULY 26, 2016, WE TOOK OUR 2012 JEEP WRANGLER TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE ABS AND TRAC LIGHTS CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP SHOWED A C102A CODE AND A U140B CODE. THEY REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, FEELING THAT WOULD SOLVE OUR PROBLEM. ON AUGUST 18, 2016, IN STOPPED TRAFFIC, ON A MAJOR STATE HIGHWAY, THE CAR LOST POWER. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT BY THE TIME WE GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, NO CODES WERE EVIDENT. ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2016. DRIVING 60 MPH, ON ANOTHER STATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A SIDE ROAD AND AFTER ABOUT 4 ATTEMPTS WERE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND DROVE ABOUT 2 BLOCKS TO A SAFE PLACE. WE HAD TO CONTACT A TOW TRUCK TO CARRY THE VEHICLE 10 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RECREATE THE CODE, SO HE TOOK IT HOME FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS, FINALLY HAVING THE VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT CODED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A TIPM SHORTING OUT. THERE WAS ALSO A DAMAGED CLOCKSPRING. BOTH PARTS WERE REPLACED. TOTAL OF BOTH INVOICES = $1,752.25.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A THUNDERSTORM, CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP, HAD THE FUSES CHECKED, WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH TESTED, AND NOTHING FIXED THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE TURNS OUT TO BE A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), AND WILL COST OVER 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

WIPERS TURNS ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IN THE OFF POSITION, SAME WITH AC, STEREO RESETS BY IT SELF. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT THE SHIFT POSITION IS. NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OR IN PARKING MODE.

JUST NOTICED WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ARE INOPERABLE. THESE INCLUDE THE RADIO, BLUETOOTH PHONE, INFORMATION MENU, RESET, ETC: UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION I ALSO NOTICED THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. UNSAFE AND WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. INQUIRY BY INTERNET SEARCH INDICATE POSSIBLE CLOCKSPRING DEFECT, BUT THAT IS INCONCLUSIVE SO FAR.

AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 20 MPH. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO.

STARTED WITH A WINDOW LEAKING ON OCTOBER 2, 2012. THEN PROCEEDED TO TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT.. WELL ON MAY 26, 2014 I WAS WORKING.. I WORK FOR USPS AND IT IS A RIGHT HAND JEEP I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS OF MY JEEP.. I STOPPED LOOKED UNDER HOOD SEEN NO FIRE. SCARED TO DEATH AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON.. I SIT THERE FOR A WHILE AND IT STOPPED. CALL DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT TO THEM AND THEY RETURNED TO ME WITH "NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM". APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SMOKE COMING FROM VENTS.. THIS TIME MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND!! I LATER DISCOVERED, AFTER THE FIRE, THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT I NEVER RECEIVED.. I BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL FROM A COWORKER WHOM HAD BOUGHT HER JEEP 1 MONTH AFTER ME...

FIRE

TAKATA RECALL, WE ARE VERY UPSET AT CHRYSLER THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE JEEP WRANGLER PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE.. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY OUR DAUGHTER FOR SCHOOL AND HER CARPOOL. SHE IS WITHOUT A CAR AS OF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES AND GET THE RUN AROUND FROM OUR LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND CHRYSLER ITSELF. THEY SHOULD HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. WE NEED A CAR TO DRIVE. WE BOUGHT OUR JEEP OUT RIGHT AND NOW CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN TO GET HER A JEEP SHE CAN DRIVE DUE TO THIS AIR BAG RECALL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THIS SITUATION UNDER CONTROL AND FIX ALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. WE HAVE A CAR SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY NOW FOR 2 MONTHS THAT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN.

THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT OCCURS FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO FAR, THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT 40-50 MPH ON A TWO WAY ROAD. DURING THE SEVERAL TIMES THAT IT HAS OCCURRED, I THOUGHT THAT A CRASH WOULD BE INEVITABLE IF I DIDN'T STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. THE STEERING IS BARELY CONTROLLABLE AND IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU THINK THAT THE CAR WILL SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR LIKELY FLIP. I AM NOT ONLY WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN SAFETY, BUT ALSO THE SAFETY OF OTHER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN TIME. I AM VERY HESITANT TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT, THE WOBBLE IS TRULY TERRIFYING. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY HAS SUCH POOR DESIGN QUALITY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE COMPANY AND A FIX SHOULD BE PROVIDED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED AND NOW IT IS EVEN WORSE. IT TRULY IS A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS POINT.

CLOCKSPIRNG FAILURE

TAKATA RECALL - THIS IS A SEVERE AND DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED AND UPSET WITH THE ALLEGED "UNAVAILABILITY" OF REPAIR PARTS THAT HAS BEEN STATED FOR FAR TOO LONG. I NEED THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. I DRIVE MYSELF AND MY SIBLINGS TO SCHOOL AND WORK EACH DAY. IF THERE IS ANY RISK POSING FOR THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF MY SIBLING I WILL NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE. I NEED TO DRIVE A CAR TO PAY MY BILLS BUT I CAN NOT DO SO ON AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I NEED A RENTAL TILL THE AIRBAG CAN BE FIXED. THANKS.

WHEN IN MOTION ON AN UNEVEN OR BUMPY ROAD THE ANTI STABILATION LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND TIRES FELL LIKE SOMETHING IS GRABBING THEM AND MAKES GRINDING SOUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE OR NOT APPLYING BRAKE. THREE OTHER CO WORKERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM ALL 2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS LITTLE ABILITY TO STEER. AS SOON AS I PULLED OVER SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM THE SIDES OF THE HOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE NEAR THE FIREWALL. LUCKILY A POLICE OFFICER HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BY. HE QUICKLY PUT OUT THE FIRE USING AN EXTINGUISHER FROM HIS PATROL CAR; HAD HE NOT BEEN THERE THE CAR WOULD HAVE QUICKLY BEEN CONSUMED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS FOR MANY YEARS NOW. IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES THESE FIRES; HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE LACK OF STEERING ABILITY COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN THE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF NOT JUST ME BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON THE TIPM MODULE FAILED (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS FOR THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ISN'T PART OF A RECALL AND IT ISN'T SOMETHING COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE JEEP STARTED TURNING OFF AT LOW IDLE. THIS HAPPENED FOR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT OR AT A STOP LIGHT. IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AT RANDOM. IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I AM WORKING ON THE REPAIR NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 701,168.

WHEN I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, AND THE FUEL PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL SPILLS OUT EVERYWHERE. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE OTHER DAY. AFTER READING JEEP FORUMS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT HAS A RECALL FOR OLDER YEAR WRANGLERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER WRANGLERS AND HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 68000 MILES AND THIS IS RELATED TO SAFETY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED ON.

JEEP WAS STALLING. HEAD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ONE MONTH LATER JEEP STILL RANDOMLY STALLS AT IDLE / STOP LIGHTS. NOW IT IS STARTING TO CUT OUT AT ROAD SPEEDS.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT NOTED PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING. INSPECTION BY DEALER FOUND THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WEEK. BY THE TIME I HAD DECIDED TO TAKE MY JEEP IN FOR SERVICE THE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A CLOCKSPRING PROBLEM BUT SINCE THERE IS NO ERROR LIGHT ON NOW, I CANNOT TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR. HOW DO I KNOW MY AIRBAGS ARE WORKING? MY BLOWER ALSO CUTS OFF OCCASIONALLY AND THEN COMES BACK ON. IT DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP EXHIBITING ALL THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL OF OF OTHER 2012 MODELS WITH AIRBAG CLOCK PROBLEM, BUT VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR IN RECALLS. AIRBAG LIGHT IS NO LONGER INTERMITTENT BUT RATHER IS NOW ON CONTINUOUSLY.

I JUST LEFT WORK AND HAD TRAVELED LESS THAN A MILE WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 20MPH AND COASTED INTO THE FIRST OPEN DRIVEWAY I COULD FIND. I OPENED THE HOOD TO A LOT OF SMOKE AND A SMALL FIRE FROM MY WIRING HARNESS. MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND ALWAYS MAINTAINED THROUGH MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE OFFICIAL WORD FROM JEEP WAS THAT MY STARTER SHORTED OUT WHICH CAUSED MY WIRING HARNESS TO OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE.

THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALL CONTROLS ON THE TWO STALKS AND THE STEERING WHEEL. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED AND REALIZED IT WHEN I NOTICED THE LACK OF SOUND AND BLINKING DASH LIGHT ON USING THE TURN SIGNAL. NO FUSES WERE BLOWN.I DO NOT DRIVE IN THE DARK MUCH.I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED TODAY. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER. HOW CAN JEEP TIE SO MANY ESSENTIAL CONTROLS TOGETHER? IF IT HAD OCCURRED AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. PERHAPS IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO SOMEONE.

BAD FUEL PUMP

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL CITY STREET. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING RENDERING THE AIR BAG INOPERABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NHTSA ALREADY HAS 2 RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS ONLY. MY JEEP HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, CONCERNING THE SAME PARTS, FOR THE SAME REASONS THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE AIR BAG FAILURES OCCURRED. JEEP REFUSES TO COVER MY JEEP UNDER THESE RECALLS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V528000
