2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

STARTING ON 12/23/2013, THE AIRBAG SENSOR DINGED AND BECAME LIT ON DASH, REMAINS LIT FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS, DINGS AND DISAPPEAR ONLY TO REAPPEAR AGAIN WITH A DING IN ABOUT 8 SECONDS. THIS REPEATS THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED NW JEEP/CHRYSLER AND THEY INFORMED THIS WRITER IT IS LIKELY THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUED OF A PRICE AROUND $250 TO FIX IT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE, KNOWING 07 AND 08 JEEPS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, THAT THIS WRITER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING A FAULTY SENSOR IMPERATIVE FOR SAFETY. *TR

AFTER BEING ALERTED TO A LOW TIRE PRESSURE ON MY JEEPS TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, I STOPPED TO CHECK THE TIRES AND ADD AIR. WHEN I REMOVED THE VALVE STEM CAP ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE, THE VALVE STEM WHICH WAS SEVERELY CORRODED, CRUMBLED AND FELL APART. I HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO HAVE THE STEM REPLACED. THE MECHANICS THAT FREQUENTLY CHANGE MY OIL HAVE STATED THAT ALL OF THE OTHER VALVE STEMS ARE IN THE SAME CONDITION AND ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THESE ARE COSTLY ITEM TO HAVE REPLACED. *TR

2009 JEEP WRANGLER LEFT HAND DRIVE. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME. THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING IN THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES TO 150,000 MILES, YET THERE IS NO EFFORT ON CHRYSLER'S PART TO ADDRESS THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 - 2012 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IS A POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE 2007 RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE IN ANY OF THE 2009-2012 LEFT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCK SPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND GAS STOPS FROM THE PUMP TO THE VEHICLE, A SECOND LATER YOU CAN HEAR A RUSH OF FUEL COMING UP THE NECK OF THE TANK AND THEN SPITS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OR MORE IS SPILLED ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, PERSON FILLING AND THE GROUND. I HAVE ATTEMPTED OVER TIME TO LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MUCH GAS IS ALMOST FULL IN THE TANK BUT THE PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PUSH THE FUEL OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD WITH ALL THE GAS THAT IS SPILLED ON THE LOCATION AND LATER WASHED AWAY INTO DRAINAGE. ALSO, WHEN ME FILLING NOT AS CONCERNED BUT SOME INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO YOUNGER MEMBERS OF HOUSEHOLD HAVE ME CONCERNED. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON. NO ACCIDENTS. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS CLOCKSPRING AND IS WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER BASIC WARRANTY WHICH IS NOW EXPIRED. I DIDN'T KNOW SAFETY RELATED COMPONENTS ARE ONLY WARRANTEED FOR 36MO, 36K MILES. TELL THAT TO MY THREE YEAR OLD WHO RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE DAILY WITH ME. *TR

ON THE 2009 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+ 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 2009 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. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 50MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. I HAD TO GRAB THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS PUSH ON THE BRAKE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THINKING MY TIRE HAD FALLEN OFF (EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE). WHEN I GOT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS, THEY HAVE LABELLED IT "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". I LIVE IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, WHICH HAS WINDY ROADS WITH NO GUARD RAILS. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON TIOGA RD. I DON'T DOUBT IT COULD END IN A FATALITY. THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" NOW HAS ME SCARED TO DRIVE MY JEEP AND I'M NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER THAT FEELS THE SAME WAY. *TR

ON THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME. THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING IN THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 AND 2008 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL.

ON THE 2009 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. IN CONVERSATIONS WITH MY DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CHRYSLER, THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (10YR/150,000MI) ISSUED TO THE 2007 MODEL YEAR AND A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2008 (RHD) MODELS. FOR ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS, CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING, KNOWING THAT IT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING, THUS PUTTING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AT RISK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROX A WEEK AT THIS POINT, AT VARYING SPEEDS AND VARYING ROAD CONDITIONS. BEING THAT I DRIVE APPROX 30,000MI PER YEAR, THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN! *JB

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT, EVERYTHING WORKED AS IT SHOULD. BUT JUST UNDER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK- DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STATION I GO TO- FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. I TAKES STEPS TO AVOID IT BY LISTENING TO THE FILLING PROCESS AND STOPPING THE PUMP MANUALLY WHEN I HEAR THE FUEL NEARING THE TOP, BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. AND WITH THE PRICE OF FUEL, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE QUART OR SO THAT ENDS UP AT MY FEET!
