Upon starting vehicle during initial gauge check the air bag light comes on. while driving anytime the steering wheel moves the airbag light chimes and illuminates on and off. *tr
Dealer indicated that clock spring was faulty and needed replacement. was told that this was not covered under warranty and would cost $500. research has shown that chrysler extended warranty on 2008 model to 150k miles or 10 years due to faulty clock spring. it does not appear that the design flaw was corrected and i feel that this part should be covered under warranty by chrysler for all model years. *tr
Continuing failure of electric clock spring/ cruise / horn systems. it has been to dealer 4 times and "fixed" and then re-fails within a short amount of miles. 6314, 9057, 10730, 18456 and is currently failing again(22000). back to dealer as soon as i can schedule. i will first notice that the cruise control will not turn on and some times the horn will not work. however sometimes if i can honk the horn and then the cruise control will start working again; maybe for a few 100's of a few 1,000 miles. i am worry about the possible failure of the air bag if this keeps up. please advice. my dealer keeps trying, but jeep need to resolve! thanks. i will upload copies of my prior 4 service documents.
On the 2011 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 2011 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 2011 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

Takata recall, for my location has yet to be addressed. i have spoken to several employees in the service department of the dealership from which it was purchased as well as to several people including the manager of the dealership. only one person from the service department looked up my vehicle on her computer and found the recalled and several complaints, attempted repairs that failed to be repaired, my service team manager lying to my face after being presented with nhtsa documentation proving my claims, several attempts to repair the recalled parts, service department claims in report, recalled problem repaired when it has not been or claiming unable to reproduce claimed recalled problem. for years until the manufacturers warranty and the extended service mechanical warranty as well as the extended internal warranty expired with out acknowledgment of the dangerous conditions i am having to drive a vehicle with several highly dangerous life threatening issues some recalled by manufacturer others they've ignored as well as ignoring me the owner. these issues continue to this day! the electrical system and computer,while driving on u.s. i-95 heading west in rush hour traffic my vehicle went dead surrounded by vehicles going well above the 55 mph speed limit. some how i managed to manouver it thre lanes over to the non-exhisting pull over lane as the steering wheel was locked. there was no power. i called 911, who hung up on me, as did the local police department of princinct 3, only the arrival of the tow truck and driver who managed to set reflective warning triangles far behind my vehicle and repidly assisting me to exit my vehicle without injury or death. then proceeded to tow my vtto the service department of the dealership. the side rear view mirrors with a heating element that is supposed to keep them dry and clear in all weather were claimed fixed. more

I have been experiencing electrical problems with my vehicle since i purchased it in november 2010. there has been systemic electrical failures that are getting progressively worse and putting my safety at risk. i have been getting the run around with chrysler regarding the problems. - i purchased the vehicle brand new from a jeep dealer in los angeles california. since being purchased the following components have failed intermittently. each part simply stopped working while i was driving the vehicle and in order to make them start working again i would have to pull over turn the car off wait a few minutes then turn the car back on (horn, lights, window maser switch, car stereo, car stereo amp, driver's airbag). once i restarted the car it seemed like the jeep would reset and the parts would start working again. jeep has been replacing these items, but they would never root cause the problem. - most recently chrysler discovered that the fuse box & electrical cluster were defective. it took jeep 77 days to replace the 2 parts. the worse part is they tried to have me drive the vehicle during those 77 days until the parts became available putting me and any vehicle around me at risk of injury and death. this in my opinion is a serious safety hazard. - while i hope this is the end of my problems.. i think the nhtsa should investigate jeep chrysler's electrical cluster and components to ensure that they are worthy of being in vehicles on the road. *tr
