general problems of the 2008 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

I turned the key to turn on my car and the airbag deployed.

Have tried twice by phone to request the closest Jeep dealership recommended on the numerous recall cards mailed to have recalls fixed at williams Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram, 1100 e main st. , stigler, ok. 74462. Each contact with dealership to get appointment to fix recalls fixed the individual asks “what is the VIN number?” give requested info then ask “did you purchase at our location?” no we did not was purchased in texas when husband was on r&r from being deployed in middle east. The person then states”give good contact number and when the parts arrive will call to make appt to fix recalls. ” this has been over six month period with no calls or resolution. I am [xxx] and need to have reliable and above all safe transportation for my spouse who retired 24 yrs active army to drive me. I have tried to be patient and polite that maybe he forgot or misplaced info but appears that since we did not purchase there they feel no need to fix our by law recalls. So any help from your end would be greatly appreciated. Don’t like making out any kind of complaint but need these recalls fixed or vehicle in question will remain parked due to the fact our recalls may or may not injure us and we are not willing to chance dying in a vehicle the manufacturer is responsible for those recalls. Thank you for your time and hope by this investigation this dealership will not refuse any requested recall fixes because of where it was purchased. Finally, due to this report will feel more comfortable going to another Jeep dealership due to repercussions of my filling this complaint. Thank you! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The rhd Jeep Wranglers had a recall on all the clock springs. I had mine fixed, it lasted a year and then broke again. Every mail carrier I know has the same issue. I believe the recall needs to become a lifetime recall, not a singular recall. They are all failing again causing postal employees to be at risk for fatality with the airbag failing to deploy.

Car was purchased 1 hour prior to incident from a dealership. Car was in idle and was shifted to drive and automatically accelerated rapidly without foot on gas pedal and breaks did not work when breaks were forcefully applied during the incident. The car crashed into a house deck and went off the cement pad and crashed into trees in the yard. Unable to remove key from ignition, had to be placed in neutral to remove key. We had the car for less than an hour after purchase. Damage was sustained to the deck and significant damage to car, air bags did not deploy. Claim was immediately filed with insurance.

Airbag light goes on and off.

Fire vehicle.

Notified during July 2019 of 2 recalls (s43 and s33). On 7/12/2019 s43 was completed. S33 parts were ordered. The first eta was in September. That was canceled due to lack of parts. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer and to "all star Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram" but there is still no date and was told there is a large back order list and no known date as to when the part will be available. The recall notice said "it is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. " I have taken these steps. Chrysler has put in an part order and cannot give me a date as to when this can be fixed. The size of this backlog indicates there are many installations needed.

Jeep tipm failure numerous times. Headlights stop working completely, airbags reportedly non working, winshield wipers work when they want to, horn blows on its own. Door locks cycle on their own. Engine wont shut off with the key unless unhooking the battery.

I received a letter from tk holdings inc saying that I have takata airbag infiltrators in my vehicle that contains "phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant" that can rupture causing injury or death. I only have until Dec 27th to file a complaint, because they filed bankruptcy and will not be responsible after that date. Please add my vehicle to the recall list so I can get this fixed. I called the dealership and they said it is fine since it isn't on the recall list. They can't fix them thank you.

I've called my local Jeep dealership about these open recalls for over a year numerous times they tell me they will call when parts are in. No calls et. This is my only car to drive they no that. Can't believe this!.

Takata recall. Our selling / servicing dealer has received spontaneous, limited deliveries of the parts (driver & passenger side), but will not maintain a list of customers who need the parts. It is 1st come 1st served, no appointments, no waiting list. Must call weekly or "stop by" to see if parts available. This is ridiculous!.

Complaints involving airbags- I was in an accident hitting a tree, two cars and rolling over and no airbags inflated.

Understand from the Jeep web app, fiat Chrysler has parts available for the passenger air bag recall s43. But, I cannot get a dealer scheduled appointment for the recall since fiat Chrysler is limiting dealers from ordering the available parts. I must wait until the dealer uses their inventory but a new shipment can be received. At this time all are marked for vehicles. Seems fiat Chrysler doe not think safety is a concern and may be even fighting the NHTSA ordered recall. It's hard to determine. Gotten answers from parts are still being manufactored to in the warehouse what a shame the public's safety is held in such a low reguard.

Last year (2016) I had a piece of plastic (looks like tape) coming out between the steering wheel and steering column while driving on our local street. I didn't realize it was wires at first. This wire 'tape' eventually broke which means you don't have a working airbag, horn, etc. Brought it to a local garage last fall (2016) and was told the clock spring caused this and there was a recall on it. Put the Jeep in the garage for the winter and today (3/2/2017) called the dealer to make an appointment. After giving them the VIN # I was told that the recall didn't apply to my Jeep Wrangler. Btw it only had 40,920 miles on it!.
