2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

"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."

I WENT FOR BRAKES PRIOR TO 30,000. VEHICLE HAD 25,000 MILES AND THE ROTOR COULD NOT BE CUT... IT ROTTED THROUGH. I HAD TO REPLACE 1 ROTOR ALL OTHERS WERE FINE. COULD HAVE POSSIBLY AFFECTED MANY OTHER VEHICLES.

RE: NHTSA RECALL #14V-631, MY MIRRORS, AND THE DEFROSTING ON THEM AS WELL AS MY REAR WINDOW WORKED FINE BUT I RECEIVED 2 OR 3 RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL EARLY 2015. I TOOK MY RUBICON (WRANGLER) INTO A DEALERSHIP, HAWK JEEP IN FOREST PARK, IL (CHICAGO) FOR THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO USE THE DEFROSTERS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN IT SNOWED - NOTHING WORKS! I USED TO SEE THE ICE/FOG DEFROSTING WITHING 10-15 SECONDS. SINCE THEY DID WHAT THEY DID, THE SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS DID NOT WORK NOR DOES MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE DEALERSHIP OBVIOUSLY DID SOME ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT MAY PUT ME AND MY CHILDREN AT RISK OF FIRE OR WORSE. I HAD NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OFF ON AN EXIT TO A GAS STATION TO CLEAR MY REAR WINDOW AND SPRAY DEFROSTER ON MY OUTSIDE MIRRORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE ROUTER AND BRAKE CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

PURCHASED THE VECHICLE NEW, WITHIN 2500 MILES VECHICLE LEAKED WITH OVER 1INCH OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD, THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEALS MOVE FORWARD 40K MILES DRIVE SIDE DOES THE SAME, REPLACED THE SEALS. AS SOON AS THE SEALS HAVE WERE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE CENTER SEAM OF THE FREEDOM PANEL STARTED LEAKING. MY VECHICLE HAS MOOD AND MILD ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF AND UNDER THE SEATS. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE VERY FIRST FIX WAS AN OBSOLETE FIX AND THEY HAVE COME OUT WITH A BETTER SEAL KIT BUT IT WOULD BE AT MY COST TO REPLACE. MY VECHICLE IS NOW JUST OVER 70K MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. NOT TO MENTION I'VE GONE THROUGH THREE STEREOS DUE TO THE LEAK AND SHORTING OUT AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 02/19/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED 2 CABLES NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE EBRAKE AND THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS. *TR

DRIVING ALONG ABOUT 75MPH ON I-26. ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS INSIDE FLASHED AND THEN WHEN DARK. JEEP SHUT DOWN AND WENT DEAD. COASTED TO SHOULDER. SHUT OFF IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY. INSERTED KEY AND STARTED JEEP. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, I PULLED OVER AT A REST AREA, SHUT OF THE JEEP, AND WENT TO USE THE REST ROOM. WHEN I RETURNED THE JEEP WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, I USED THE KEY IN THE MANUAL LOCK. JEEP WOULD NOT START. I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND RE INSTALLED. JEEP STARTED AND EVEN 2 DAYS LATER NO RETURN OF SYMPTOMS.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER THAT IS EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A CHIME INDICATING SUCH. THIS CHIME OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1 TO 2 MINUTES. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL SUCH AS THE HORN, CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I CONTACTED JEEP (CHRYSLER) ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 24-48 HOURS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS WENT BY AND I HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM JEEP. I CONTACTED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH NOT HAVING A WORKING HORN AND A QUESTIONABLE AIRBAG. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE THAT THEY WERE TO CONCERNED ABOUT. I'VE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG. THIS IS COMING FROM SOME OF THE ACCIDENTS THAT I HAVE EITHER WITNESSED OR WORKED AS AN INVESTIGATING OFFICER. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT SEVERAL EARLIER MODEL (2007-2008) JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP AND THE COMPANY REPLACED THE PART THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE BEFORE. IT WAS A 2007. THIS PART IS REFERRED TO AS A CLOCK SPRING AND COST OVER $500.00 TO REPLACE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS GRAVELY AFFECTED.

TWICE IN LAST 2YRS MY STANDARD WRANGLER HAS REFUSED TO SHIFT INTO GEER AND MADE A WINDING NOISE.. THEN STALLED AND REFUSED TO START FOR UPTO 10 MIN. IT HAPPEND LAST FAL WITH APPROX 2900 MILES ON IT THEN AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO WITH 4800 MILES... NOT SURE WHY OR WHAT IS CAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP GARAGE. ALSO HITTING ANY LITTLE BUMP FOR THE LAST 30000 MILES HAS MADE JEEP JUMP LIKE THE REAREND IS FLOPPING TO ONE SIDE ALSO HARD BREAKING CAUSES SAME ISSUE.. ALL SUSPENSION PARTS ARE EITHER NEW OR NEWER.. LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO FIX THAT ISSUE AND FAILED... I AM AFRAID THESE ISSUES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2011 SPIT BACK EVERY TIME ME OR MY WIFE REFUEL THE VEHICLE GETTING GAS OVER ME AND THE FLOOR .IF WE PARK THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE THE ODOR OF GAS IS VERY STRONG WE DECIDE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUT SIDE . I CALL THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THEY TELL ME THAT ARE NOT ANY RECALLS REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM,. THE MAIN CONCERN OF THIS SITUATION ARE IF THAT SITUATION CAN INITIATE A FIRE OR THE FUMES CAN BE A HAZARD FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY .
