So they (mopar/jeep) have had this jeep clock spring recall issue for a while now... we have had it replaced twice now under the recall and it is still doing the exact same thing... so the recall fix was nothing but a sham... it did not fix the problem and the problem still persists and i am not fixing it for a third time when the solution they came up with for the recall is not a solution it just masks the problem for a little while... so now once again the clock spring is out in it and i am at my wits end with it!
I had just dropped my 6 year old off school, went to leave with my 7 month old and ended up stranded because the alternator went out, just to find out that there is a sensor in the computer and isn't something that can be fixed real quick. so now am in a major bind trying to get my family places while my jeep sits.
Tipm. all warning lights flash on and off .wipers go on and off headlights stay on engine stalls. in motion
Clock spring needs replacement on the jeep. the vehicle has 43000 miles and has been driven lightly off-road. the warning light constantly goes on/off with a warning sound. the error code displays "air bag sensor", but my neighborhood mechanic tells me its the clock spring that needs to be replaced. the city of riverside, dodge dealer (moss bros) in ca says no recalls are noted for my 2011 jeep.
Takata recall - bought my vehicle, no light was ever on. about 4 months after purchasing vehicle till present - airbags light comes on with dings, stays on. electrical is failing, can't seem to find the reason for the electrical malfunctions. cruise and trac control kick on and off whenever they want to, that has been scary (moving all 4 times, 4 on interstate, 1 as i was turning a sharp turn after i had slowed). in the date slot below, i will put the 1st known time it happened to me, as there has been several.
Fuel spit back, airbag malfunction, tire pressure sensor, navigation system freezes
I was driving at under 10 mph, on a texas state road when the plastic fuel line which is connected to the underside of the body with some type of adhesive failed. this dropped the fuel line directly on the catalytic converter, which melted the fuel line causing a fire that spread to the engine compartment. apparently this is an issue on the 4 door model wranglers as the 2 door wranglers have a plate preventing this. this issue should be looked at on all 4 door models, ranging from 2008 through at least 2013. i have looked at other 4 door jeeps and see that they have the same potential issue there is nothing that prevents the fuel line from coming into contact with the exhaust and potentially causing a fire.
The tipm has failed no trun signals and or brake lights
I was told that the tipm malfunctioned and affected the door locks and may result in other failures.
My 2011 rubicon left hand drive has never been in an accident and has an airbag light on.... i took it to the jeep dealer and i can have the clock spring and wiring repaired for $810... this is a common problem as i was told by the dealer.....
My 2011 jeep wrangler unlimited is a right hand drive that i use for mail delivery and personal use. the engine stalls spontaneously while i'm driving and/or delivering. when this happens, steering is precarious. twice this incident has happened while i was in-transit through a curve at 45 mph. i was unsuccessful at wrestling with the steering wheel to drift off the road safely. two succeeding cars, not able to see me in the blind spot of the curve, swerved into the opposing lane of traffic to avoid me. a fatal accident could have happened. f ornately and thankfully, the engine did start up again but not without a close call. does someone have to get seriously injured or die before a recall will be considered?? also, randomly the starter cranks but won't start or it won't crank at all, rendering the key fob useless for locking the doors-excruciatingly frustrating & a security issue when the vehicle is full of mail/packages. i have been to 2 mechanics on 3 separate occasions concerning these issues. one mechanic could not make a diagnosis and the other thought the problem to be the starter, which was replaced. however, the problems persist. my research ...
This jeep has a recall for the electrical harness for the heated mirror for possible fire. the autonation dealer in golden colorado says they don't have the part and jeep recall department says they do. it is believed that the dealer doesn't want to fix recall items do to the profitability. the dealership told us that the part was not available. jeep recall is saying that isn't the case. the manufacture and dealers need to take responsibility for this hazardous risk before something bad happens. we have been trying to take care of this for some time now and jeep should be more cooperative.
The dealer have failure to remedy this defect.
The clockspring on my 2011 jeep wrangler (left handed drive) has failed causing the airbags to become dysfunctional and airbag light to engage. fca has recalled right handed drive jeep wranglers 2007-2012 under the attached recall notification. fca has also recalled 2007 lhd jeep wranglers for this same issue. the root cause of these recalls was determined to be dust accumulation in the grease of the clockspring as seen in the attached recall notification. the clockspring part in both lhd and rhd variations of this model jeep wrangler include a similar, if not the same, clockspring part. the amount of dust that a jeep wrangler is subject to does not correlate to the position of the steering wheel and clockspring. i would suspect that a vehicle with less that 70,000 miles and 5 years of use should not have airbag failure. i have contacted my local jeep dealership which then instructed me to contact the fca jeep warranty/recall 800 number in addition to the fca headquarter's 800 number. after speaking with a representative at the fca headquarters hotline i was told that the recall does not apply ...
