Jeep Wrangler JK is required to replace clockspring due to dust that could compromise airbag circut causing potential non-deployment of the driver airbag. Currently, the jeep is available for inspection. Non deployment of the airbag can cause bodily harm or life threating injuries that put at risk driver and others. Jeep owner bring multiple times the vehicle to the dealership but they didn't have part available and never is been fixed. The vehicle has been inspected from multiple technicians at differents dealership. Airbag warning is showing in the dashboard of the vehicle since 2016.

This vehicle was recalled in 2016 for defective airbag clock spring replacement and I had the recall work done in early 2017. In June of 2021, the airbag warning lamp came on and a scan showed that the airbag clock spring (which had been replaced under the recall in 2017) was defective. I took the vehicle to the local Jeep/Chrysler dealer and was told that they only warranty recall related parts for 2 years, which had already expired, and that I was responsible for FULL payment to get the clock spring replaced. It is incomprehensible to me that an official NHTSA recall that resulted in replacing a supposedly defective part with another part that proved defective would not be covered by the original recall at Jeep/Chryslers expense. Serious injury or death could occur to myself and other passengers if the airbags are not properly deployed in a collision. An additional recall should be issued for owners of all Jeep vehicles that had a defective part replaced with another defective part.

Code C2116 - ABS Pump Motor Supply low. This error code has been occurring for the past year. I have no ABS brake function, no air bag function, and no traction control function. The part from Jeep Chrysler, ABS Module, has been on back order for 1 year. I believe it is dangerous for me to be driving this vehicle. One year on back order, please do something and help.

Dealer is unable to provide me with a courtesy vehicle during the recall work and the recall takes several days to complete. Forcing me to pay for a rental vehicle during the recall repair is a cost to me to get the recall corrected.

My reverse went out on my 42rle automatic transmission in my Wrangler and I looked it up and supposedly this issue is extremely common. Like story after story after story after story after story. This transmission had a recall in its early days where it wouldn't go into park and people were crashing they fixed that but ever since this transmission came out according to google. People have had this problem and it shouldn't just go out like that. The vehicle was stopped and I was backing out of a parking space. Well I was trying until I realized that I wasn't going anywhere so I had to drive over the little hump things. But my reverse lights and everything come on but my engine just revs. And everyone I've asked from people in new orleans Jeep club to looking it up on google either has this problem or had this problem or knows someone who either has or had this problem.

Takata recall. On Sunday August 18th 2019 at 4:30 pm a phone call was placed to brooklyn Chrysler/Jeep at 718 713 3000 to confirm an appointment for an airbag recall made through the national hotline. Upon contacting the service department, I was told that the national recall center did not appropriately schedule the airbag repair, and made my appointment for an "oil change." I was also told that scheduling errors are frequent from your office and that they do not currently have replacement air bag parts in stock. I was told that Chrysler only sends out "two or three" airbag recall parts at a time and that they are given out on a first come, first served basis. She stated there is no current procedure for assigning service to a particular customer at a particular time, and that I should try back every few weeks. This haphazard handling, if true, begs the question of why your office would spend as much time as it does sending out mailings for any fix, yet so little effort to streamline the administrative end to be more effective. I will continue to try to made this "potentially deadly" repair, but someone can coordinate better with the dealership.

Air bag light turns on intermittently during vehicle operation, meaning the air bag will not deploy if there's a collision. Suspected component failure is the clockspring. There have been recalls on other years of Jeep Wrangler for this issue, but not 2010 to my knowledge.

Takata recall: March 2017 we received notice from Fiat Chrysler automobiles describing a recall for our vehicle on the passenger air bag inflator. On 1 April 2017 I contacted spartanburg Chrysler Jeep, I was told parts are not available and was told I would be contacted when they were available. As of 24 October 2017 I have not heard from spartanburg Chrysler Jeep and have now received notice from tk holdings Inc., that they are filing for bankruptcy protection and I may loose my ability to file a claim. I would like the passenger airbag inflator replaced with a safe one at no expense to me.
