2002 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FRONT/REAR FENDERS AND FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE FADING BADLY. DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

ALL IN ONE MINUTE BOTH THINGS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY SON TO THE ER. MY HORN AND THEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID CLOCK SPRING. THEY REPLACED AT $300.00 THEN STILL NOT FIXED. THEY THEN SAID ITS MY AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF $510.00. I AM GETTING UPSET AND BROKE. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND A LADY PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME TO CROSS OVER THE INTERSECTION. MY JEEP HIT HER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MY HOOD FLEW UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD, BUMPER FELL OFF THE VEHICLE AND ENTIRE SIDE PANEL WAS RIPPED BACK TO THE DOOR AND NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I FELT LIKE THIS WAS UNUSUAL DUE TO THE DAMAGE, SO I WANTED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATE SO FAR TO FIX MY VEHICLE IS OVER $7,000. NO ONE WAS INJURED.*AK

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER. I HAVE A 2002 JEEP WRANGLER THAT NOW NEEDS A CLOCK SPRING REPAIR. MY HORN WAS NOT WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO USE,THEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS CAUSED MY AIR BAG SYSTEM NOT TO WORK AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST IS $300.00 AND I FEEL REALLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS FAR AS ALL AIR BAGS. DUE TO ITS SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND WHAT THESE CLOCK SPRINGS ARE DOING IN THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES! THIS SHOULD BE A REPAIR COVERED BY CHRYSLER.. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM I FOUND A SAFETY BULLETIN #0801001 THAT WARNED ABOUT CLOCK SPRINGS IN MY WRANGLER AND JEEP LIBERTY. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO BULLETIN. I FOUND THE BULLETIN ON YOUR WEB SITE. I WOULD LIKE YOUR INPUT PLEASE. THANKS .MIKE. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE SPUN AROUND THREE TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND FOUND METAL INSIDE THE TIRE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE LEFT REAR AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT, AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, DEALER DESTROYED TIRES, AND DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE DOT NUMBERS ON THE TIRES. *AK

AT 65 MPH ON I-95 IN MARYLAND, THE CLUTCH AND BEARINGS BURNED OUT. ALL POWER TO POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOST IMMEDIATELY MAKING AN EMERGENCY STOP AND STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. RECENT DEALER MAINTENANCE FAILED TO DETECT ANY EXCESS IVE WEAR OR POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. *JB

MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THAT ENDED UP TOTALING MY VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK THE VEHICLE CRASHED WITH INTO A LARGE TREE. *SCC *JB

WHEN DRIVING ON ICE OR SNOW THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE KICKS OUT, CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK AND POTENTIALLY SLID. NO IMPACT HAD BEEN REPORTED. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED TO GET BACK INTO 4WD. THE LEVER WAS HELD TIGHTLY AND POPPED OUT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN 2WD FOR SEVERAL MILES THEN WAS ABLE TO BE PLACED BACK INTO 4WD AND STAYED. ALSO, THE UPHOLSTERY HAD STARTED TO TEAR ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE GASKETS ON BOTH MIRRORS DETERIORATED. *SCC *JB
