2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I HAVE 20,000 MILES ON MY JEEP. WHEN DRIVING, EVERY 20-30 MILES, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY A WARNING "DING" COMES ON. I AM PAST MY WARRANTY BY 10 DAYS. I HAVE READ ON LINE WHERE THERE IS A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 13V176000 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT IT IS ONLY FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AS ON THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES THAT COULD EXPERIENCE BROKEN AIRBAG CIRCUITS. CONSEQUENCE: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF THE LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS TOO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE LOSSES POWER. THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, THE CEL CAME ON WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. AT THAT MOMENT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 65MPH TO ABOUT 40MPH WITH NO NOTICE. THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDING A 16 MONTH BABY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STRUCT BY AN SEMI TRUCK FROM BEHIND, WHO HAD TO LOCK ITS WHEELS TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS WILL BE THE 10TH TIME THE CEL WAS BEEN ILLUMINATE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR AN INCIDENT OF THIS MANNER. THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALERSHIP SEEMS UNCARING OF THE EVENT AND PROCESS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE BACKFIRED, AND THEN STALLED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIPM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,263.

I AM A RURAL MAIL CARRIER. I DRIVE A RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER SPORT TO DELIVER MY MAIL. MY JEEP HAS NOT DRIVEN RIGHT IN A LONG TIME, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING. MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS BEEN TOLD THAT HE NEEDED TO GET NEW TIRES WHICH HE GOT, HE WAS TOLD THAT HE NEEDED TO HAVE IT REALIGNED WHICH HE DID. THE PROBLEM REMAINED AND GOT WORSE AND WORSE. ONE OF THE MECHANICS TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT HE NEEDED TO CHECK THE STEERING GEAR BOX; HE DID AND IT WAS THE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING GEARBOX WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 36000 MILE WARRANTY, HE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY HUSBAND WENT ROUND AND ROUND WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY FINALLY AGREED TO FIX IT AS A GOODWILL REPAIR PLUS $150. MY JEEP WAS LEFT FOR SERVICE ON AUGUST 11TH AND WAS RETURNED ON AUGUST 18TH. ON SEPTEMBER 15TH AT 40084 MILES THE SAME PROBLEMS WERE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. MY HUSBAND WENT BY THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY JEEP. THAT SAME DAY AS I AM ON MY ROUTE THE STEERING GEARBOX LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH. I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT YET MY JEEP WAS GOING TO THE RIGHT. *TR

MY 2012 JEEP JK UNLIMITED (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH INTERMIT 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 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS 07- PRESENT , 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 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING." *TR

THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL N28 ON MY JEEP. I HAVE GONE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET THIS RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. THE HEBERT TOWN AND COUNTRY DELAERSHIP IN SHREVEPORT LA ALWAYS CAME UP WTIH AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE WORK (THEY HAVE TO DO AN INSPECTION FIRST, NEED AN APPOINTMENT, THEN THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART, ETC... BUT THEY WOULD NEVER DO THE INSPECTION). THEN MY HUSBAND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LANDERS IN BOSSIER CITY LA TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE... APPROXIMATELY A WEEK PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT THEY CANCELLED IT DUE TO BEING "TOO BUSY". WE THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE AUTOMATED APPOINTMENT LINE AND GOT RESCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TODAY (AUG 4, 2014) AND WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, WE WERE INFORMED THEY COULD NOT DO THE WORK BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY WERE "TOO BUSY" AND WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO CALL BACK ON AUG 11, 2014 TO SEE IF THEIR WORKLOAD HAD CLEARED UP AND IF THEY COULD GET US IN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR EVEN TOLD US IT'S A2 HOUR JOB. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD TAKE PRIORITY AND I SHOULD HAVE TO BATTLE 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR 9 MONTHS TO GET THIS DONE.
