2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

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 GRANTED CHRYSLER'S MOTION TO DISMISS STATING THEY ARE BARRED BY THE SALE ORDER BETWEEN BANKRUPT CHRYSLER AND THE NEW CHRYSLER. WOW!!! GREAT BUSINESS MODEL. LETS FILE BK. (ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS COMPLAINT FORM IS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? EVERY TIME I FILL UP SINCE 5-30-2015!!!

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.

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....

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.
