2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" RECENTLY, ON A DRY, SUNNY, MODERATELY WARM DAY I WAS DRIVING A NORMAL SPEED ON A NORMAL ROAD, DOWNWARD SLOPING, AT A LOW SPEED AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CHIMED AND ILLUMINATED. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS AND THE LIGHT REMAINS ON, AND CONTINUES TO CHIME. I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY COLLISIONS AND THE JEEP HAS NOT BEEN OFFROAD, NOR DID I HAVE A CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHERE AN AIRBAG MAY SENSE A SMALL PASSENGER. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FROM WHAT I'M FINDING ON FORUMS BUT ALSO A SAFETY DEVICE IN A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY BEYOND A STANDARD 3YR/36K WARRANTY. SEATBELTS DON'T EXPIRE NOR SHOULD AN AIRBAG IN A VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MAUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,800.

VERY BAD WOBBLE IN FRONT END ....HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED , BUT THE FASTER YOU GO THE WORSE IT GETS (JEEP DEATH WOBBLE) ....DEALER SAID IT IS THE TIRES ....BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE MY TIRES EVERY 6 MONTHS .......I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTS JEEP IS A 2011 I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS ....HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR THIS MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER.

NEARLY EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY JK, WITHIN ONE SECOND OF SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL NOZZLE, APPROXIMATELY 3-8OUNCES OF GAS IS FORCEFULLY EXPELLED FROM THE FUEL INLET ON THE JEEP. SEVERAL HUNDRED JK OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JKS ON A NUMBER OF INTERNET FORA ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SPANS ALL MODEL YEARS OF THE JK, BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, EST AND ESP LIGHTS TURNED ON. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 MY AIRBAG LIGHT SIGNALS OFF AND ON. DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE UNTIL NOW, I AM CONCERNED IT WAS NEVER TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS ON KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG. MAYBE IT WAS SEEN TO THOUGH AND THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE EST AND ESP.

CLOCK SPRING IS DEFECTIVE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND WARNING CHIME COMES ON AND GOES OFF. THE SAME PART NUMBER WAS RECALLED ON ALL 2007 WRANGLERS AND 2008-2012 RIGHT HAND WRANGLERS. HOWEVER, THE 2008-2012 LEFT HAND JEEPS WEREN'T INCLUDED?

WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE, AT TIME OF AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT PUMP, FUEL SPURTS OUT OF FILL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CONDITION BUT CONTINUOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ROOF LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE, WHICH CREATED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEREO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. UPDATED 05/24/16*LJ UPDATED 6/6/18*JB

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY OVER 45MPR, OVER MINOR BUMPY ENTRANCE TO OVERPASS, MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE". NBC NEWS I-TEAM REPORTED ON THIS VERY SAME JEEP MANUFACTURING ISSUE. MY RUBICON IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPR. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. NOW, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN THE SAME AREA. THE ROAD IS STRAIGHT, NO TURNS AND THE "BUMPS" ARE NOT POT-HOLES. I HAVE TO HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT AND PRAY NO CAR IS NEXT TO ME. MY TIRES ARE ALIGNED AND I HAVE THEM INSPECTED REGULARLY. MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A "COUPLE OF ROADS BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY TEST DRIVE THEIR CHRYSLER & JEEP VEHICLES WITH THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS." TODAY WAS THE LATEST EVENT AND I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP.

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN FUEL SPILLS OUT. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS.
