2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING WHEN DRIVING IN STRAIGHT LINE, WHEN TURNING THE LIGHT TURNS OFF UNTIL DRIVING STRAIGHT AGAIN. THIS IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL PLACED ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR.

ON THE 2010 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 2007 - 2010 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 2010 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.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY AND CHIMES APPARENTLY THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING THAT AFFECTS A LOT OF LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. AIRBAG IS DISABLED WHEN LIGHT IS ON . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TIPM MODULE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. IF IT HAPPENS IN MOTION IT CAN BE FATAL

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP TO WORK WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WHITE SMOKE ENTERED THE CAP. I ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN TO VENT THE SMOKE AND SAW FLAMES AT MY FEET. I PULLED THE JEEP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO FAIL. AFTER PUTTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON SO IT WOULD ROLL INTO ANOTHER CAR I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE FLAMES EAT THE HOOD OF MY JEEP AND WORK ITS WAY BACK THROUGH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I WATCHED AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. SINCE IT HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS MY JEEP WAS DISTROYED. I PUT $70,000 OF PARTS INTO MY JEEP AND IT WAS ALL EATEN BY A FIRE IN 20 MINUTES. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A RECALL. I NEVER RECIEVED ANY PIECE OF MAIL NOTIFYING ME OF ANY RECALL. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE ISSUES UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE IT BUT THAT THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING LEFT OF THE JEEP TO FIND THE ORIGIN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE FIRE WHEN IT WAS OCCURING AS WELL AS PICTURES OF THE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE FIRE....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/11/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK WITH GAS, IT NEVER SHUTS OFF AND IT SPITS IT BACK OUT.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING RADOM WARNING CHIMED AND AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE CORNERING. NOW IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE NEXT INSPECTION IS DUE. ITS A CLOCKSPRING FAILURE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, A PROBLEM COMMON TO THE CURRENT WRANGLERS FROM 07-2014. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL FOR THE RHD MODELS FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT LHD JEEPS. THIS IS MY SECOND FAILURE,MY 2007 HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MY 2010. ITS TIME FOR JEEP TO OFFER A RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND EVERYTHING IS OK. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING.
