I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT PARK MY JEEP UNTIL SOMEONE FINDS TIME TO CONTACT ME I NEED MY CAR OR A RENTAL CAR NOW..I AM VERY UPSET. I HAVE NOT HAD A EVENT AT THIS TIME BUT I DID GET A LETTER TELLING ME IM IN DANGER...

WHEN IN MOTION ON AN UNEVEN OR BUMPY ROAD THE ANTI STABILATION LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND TIRES FELL LIKE SOMETHING IS GRABBING THEM AND MAKES GRINDING SOUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE OR NOT APPLYING BRAKE. THREE OTHER CO WORKERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM ALL 2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS LITTLE ABILITY TO STEER. AS SOON AS I PULLED OVER SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM THE SIDES OF THE HOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE NEAR THE FIREWALL. LUCKILY A POLICE OFFICER HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BY. HE QUICKLY PUT OUT THE FIRE USING AN EXTINGUISHER FROM HIS PATROL CAR; HAD HE NOT BEEN THERE THE CAR WOULD HAVE QUICKLY BEEN CONSUMED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS FOR MANY YEARS NOW. IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES THESE FIRES; HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE LACK OF STEERING ABILITY COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN THE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF NOT JUST ME BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON THE TIPM MODULE FAILED (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS FOR THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ISN'T PART OF A RECALL AND IT ISN'T SOMETHING COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE JEEP STARTED TURNING OFF AT LOW IDLE. THIS HAPPENED FOR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT OR AT A STOP LIGHT. IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AT RANDOM. IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I AM WORKING ON THE REPAIR NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 701,168.

WHEN I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, AND THE FUEL PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL SPILLS OUT EVERYWHERE. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE OTHER DAY. AFTER READING JEEP FORUMS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT HAS A RECALL FOR OLDER YEAR WRANGLERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER WRANGLERS AND HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 68000 MILES AND THIS IS RELATED TO SAFETY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED ON.
