Horn Assembly problems of the 2009 Jeep Wrangler

All warning lights on instrument cluster turned on and there was a constant chime. Fuel gage dropped to empty, I didn't know how much gas I had. The speedometer and tachometer no longer worked, I had no idea how fast/slow I was going. Windshield wipers stayed on constantly, in the off position, eventually destroying my blades. Headlights stayed on constantly in the off position and blinkers would not function at all. Horn would randomly go off and doors would lock & unlock. Ac blew hot. It kind of felt like my power steering went out. I could smell strong fumes from the exhaust. I first replaced the tipm and some of the problems were fixed, but not all. I then replaced the instrument cluster and all previous unresolved issues, were resolved. When the problems first started happening, it only happened occasionally. It happened at random times, driving on highways or streets or sitting at a red light. After a few months it was constant and would start as soon as vehicle was started.

Clock spring in steering column has failed. Air bag warning light is on, horn does not work, cruise control does not work, traction control light is on. I drive in very dusty conditions while delivering us mail, records show a recall was issued for this Jeep and this problem. Records also indicate that the recall work was completed. But I have the exact same problem that the recall was supposed to fix? what can I do?.

Backing out the drive way wipers came on pulled back in driveway checked headlights were on wipers and headlights wouldn't turn off with switches I noticed I didn't have a dome light no gauges on dash no speedometer or odometer turn signals and 4way flashers wouldn't work the horn doesn't work I know this is a safety issue without horn and turn lights wipers on all the time I have done a lot of research on the internet such as Jeep forum Wrangler forum you tube and found there is a lot of Jeep Wranglers and Chrysler products out there with the same issues everyone states it is the totally integrated power module also called the tipm one you tube video of a 2012 Wrangler owner states he has to wait 2 weeks for a tipm because they are on back order Chrysler apparently cant keep enough tipms in stock they go out so frequently I think this is a safety issue and Chrysler should put a recall on the totally integrated power module.

Airbag light came on while pulling out of residence. The horn nor the cruise control currently work. After some research online, discovered there are many instances of this exact problem (clockspring). Chrysler acknowledges problems with the clockspring in the right hand drive version of Jeep Wrangler, and the 2007 left hand drive models, but nothing after. After speaking with Chrysler, they told me they simply "don't care, because weve never heard of a single complaint regarding it", which is quite surprising considering all the complaints I was able to find online.

Last night I turned my car on. . . I noticed the airbag light stayed on longer than usual it went of but a couple minutes later it lighted up again for a couple seconds and from then it has been doing it, while driving it I noticed that my cruise control and horn are not working. I read a lot about the issue and I can for sure say its the clock spring, this makes a lot of sense when I bought the car in 2009 I received the car with a broken clock spring I had to go back the next day so they could replace it.

I have not been in an accident yet, but a year ago I started having electrical issues inside the steering wheel of my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. I was told it is called the clock spring. With a bad clock spring, my horn and cruise control does not work, and also my air bag light is always on. If I were to get into an accident I do not feel safe knowing my air bags are not working properly. Also, with a bad clock spring there are chances of my air bag activating randomly for no reason so that really worries me. I have almost been wrecked into several times and I am not able to honk my horn. When I took it to the local dealership, I was basically told that it has been a very common problem in 2008-2012 jk Jeep Wranglers but they did not have the part to fix it. I figured there would be a recall for it since it is such a common problem, but only the right hand drive Jeep Wranglers had a clock spring recall. I believe the recall number for those are m31 and l37. I don't understand why the left hand drive 2009 jk Jeep Wranglers are excluded from this recall. This is very hazardous and I feel unsafe knowing my air bags may not work and also knowing I could potentially cause an accident if my air bags go off randomly. Not only that, but I know more Jeeps like mine that are driving around with the same problem. I would really appreciate it if this issue could be looked into. Thank you for your time.

As with hundreds of other left hand steer Jeep owners, our airbag light is on, horn does not work, and cruise control is inoperative. Nhtsa and Jeep have deemed it okay to repair these problems on the right hand steer which is a very small percent of all Jeeps. Get on it, start the recall, it is unsafe, and why should we have to pay the price when Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler know this is an issue. I have been trying to get this fixed and talking to other 2009 owners since March of 2010. Let's go.

My airbag light came on and horn would randomly honk. Dealer advised they fixed the clock spring. This occurred approximately four years ago; however, it is doing it again. Mine is left hand drive. Right hand drives were recalled and it makes no sense for the others not to have been recalled when it is doing it again!! when it was repaired the first time, dealer did not have updated part. I'm now penalized and have to pay out of my pocket for Chrysler's faulty part. I read the recall and rhd units because they have windows down and this is "severe duty. " please understand this is a poorly sealed convertible and dust is simply part of a Jeep Wranglers existence. Either way, the problem should not be limited to rhd; it should include all those that manifest the problem or see similar severe duty.
