general problems of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

I have airbag failure. I had it diagnosed by a local mechanic. My Jeep had airbag failure in the past and the repair was done by Jeep. Jeep refused to pay for it, although the same year of Wrangler was recalled for the airbag failures. They returned my money almost 2 yrs later. The current code is b1b02 (clockspring). In addition to my airbag light being on, due to failure (defect), my other gauges are not working properly (gasoline etc. ) and the electronics will not work now (buttons on steering wheel for cruise control, radio, trip/mileage etc. Jeep dealerships in illinois have repeatedly stolen parts off my Jeep Wrangler rubicon, as it is a "special edition" black ops package. I have also caught a Jeep technician draining my coolant, which he spilled all over my radiator, in an attempt to tell me I had a "leak" and all the coolant is gone. He tried to "bend" my waterpump (in front of me) and I demanded he return my keys & I left. I've run out of reputable dealerships to take my Jeep. Please help! I have a disabled child who rides with me & I cannot be without airbags. Since day of purchase, this Jeep has been riddled with known defects. The local mechanic told me there was a recall. Jeep has not notified me of recalls or any information in several years, as a result of my complaints to the manufacturer's administrators about the continuous theft and fraud by their dealerships and the defects in my Jeep.

Heater core.

My clock spring has malfunctioned and I think it should have been in either one of these two recalls m31 or 16v288000. I had or they said they fixed airbag recall but warning symbol is still illumated and steering wheel button s do not work.

Unknown but suspected deterioration of steering column clock spring. Radio controls and horn stopped working, then the cruise control stopped working.

There is a bad connection with the gears according to the transmission. It's slipping and delayed movement to the vehicle. From time to time, the vehicle will slow down or stop all of a sudden when driving or turning a corner. It's very dangerous especially if someone is on your butt.

Driving to work my Wrangler died and burst into flames moving from the back to the front. I was northbound on hwy 265 when vehicle died and started burning.

Heating system - clog on drivers side of heating air vents - no heat on drivers side of Jeep Wrangler.

My check engine light is on. After taking it in for a diagnostic test, they said my pcm failed. My Jeep will not pass emissions the computer is not opening and closing my egr value.

The horn stopped working, to my knowledge since we never had to use it until11/8/18, the day we had to escape the camp fire. Maybe it never worked! is this a recalled issue? in motion city street.

Jeep has a leak at moulded valve for evap system on the top of the fuel tank.

Drivers door lock actuator is malfunctioning. Repair shop said it is bad.

Airbag light on. Believe bad click spring, as has been starting to make noise when turning steering wheel.

Gasoline/fuel spit or spray-back and overfill spillage when filling fuel tank, especially when/after fuel filling nozzle shuts off (automatic shut off). Occurs practically every time I fill my tank.

Jeep acceleration was uncontrolled and continue to raise to high rpm while driving in the high way and took it dealer and reported to Jeep customer service and we were by Jeep customer care managers chris and samatha is that the oem mat even though still hooked to the hole was turned and cause the problem to accelerate uncontrolled manner and can be very dangerous.

Air bag light randomly came on and continues to come on and off while driving, I have not had an accident . Also, gas cap has been replaced twice and the gascap light stays on . The air bag light is a safety concern.

Bought Jeep new. Has always needed oil between changes. Constant ticking sound started a few weeks ago while engine was running. Mechanic says engine needs to be replaced.

Whilst parked on driveway waiting for the electric gate to open to continue on to work (engine running with heated seats on and rear window heater on), fire started in engine compartment, burning Jeep Wrangler 2011 rubicon to the ground. Jeep was a daily drive, only modification was 2" lift which was on the Jeep when purchased from perkins motors colorado springs CO. Perkins motors are a Chrysler dealer, Jeep was fully inspected and up to date with all recalls, services and oil changes.

My 2011 Jeep Wrangler overflows gasoline everytime I fill up at the pump and I'm finding out that I'm not the only one, while Jeep denies it! I spoke with the epa and they ask me to also make you aware of it. I have paid for it to be "repaired" at the dealership on 2 occasions and it still continues. I live in NJ and you can not pump your own gas (besides I'm handicapped), so it's out of my control and my car and our environment is getting ruined from gasoline. I can only imagine the many other Jeep Wranglers that are destroying our environment with the spilled gas! I submitted a picture, but I wish it could be one of the several videos I took. Please help us!.

Death wobble, dealerships are not telling buyers this may be a problem with their Jeep. I have developed this problem without knowing what it was and was a terrible experience. Will not drive it on the highway anymore and checked to have it fixed and they want $700! that is not right, especially if they are not sure it will fix it.

Water leaking from a pillars onto the floor. Wet carpet/mats causing foot to involuntarily slip when switching pedals. Happens in rainy weather, which is already dangerous without this issue. Major safety and health hazard (if mold begin to form).

The airbag warning light is on, but it appears it's actually the clockspring that is faulty. I don't actually know that it's the wiring that is faulty or the clockspring it's self, either way, a local dealership want $500. 00 to fix it. With all the recalls on this particular part, this vehicle is not included in the recall. After market warranties won't touch it.

Unintended acceleration causing accident and risk of life !.

I have uploaded a pdf document that explains my problem. Thanks for your help.

On my 2011 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited (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 and newer 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 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.

6/9/15 had tires replaced & aligned merchant's tire. 1 day later tire wobbling took it back, they claimed they couldn't assist. Took it to a local shop & balance it 3 times in 2 weeks. Noticed while driving, commuters stay about a half a mile away from me & flash lights. Took it to the dealership marlow hts, they claim they couldn't find anything wrong. Tire still wobbling took it to wal mart auto, while trying to check, they broke my wheel lock! looking for a trustworthy place to fix my vehicle. No one seems to want to work these days. A friend just sent this site & I learned of this death wobble thing in Jeep Wranglers. I have been dealing with this for 7 months now and I'm livid!.

I was driving my 2011 Jeep Wrangler about 5-8 mph when I heard a “pop” type of noise. I then saw a flame under the hood on the passenger side. All of a sudden, my throttle locked up and my car wouldn’t stop. I had both feet on the brakes, but my tires kept spinning. My electrical was locked up and I couldn’t get the Jeep out of drive and into park. My boyfriend ran over, jumped in the passenger side to try to get the Jeep into park, as I couldn’t get it to move. He fractured his hand in two places getting the gearshift to go into park. At this point there was black smoke coming from the under the hood. He was finally able to get it into park. At that point he helped pull me out the passenger side of the Jeep as the fire/flames were starting to come thru the dashboard into the inside of the Jeep. It took about an hour to get the fire out, then approx. 15-20 min later the fire started again on the passenger side.

My gas cap keeps falling out and a light that says gas cap on my dash with engine light came on. We took it to auto zone they put it on their machine and it says need to replace gas cap so we did the light didnt go out but today sept 8,2015 the gas cap that I bought fell out and broke to pieces on pavement going 55 miles per hr. What is wrong with this problem how do I correct it. And now I also have a light on my dash that looks like a car skidding but my anti skid button is where it is suppose to be. I took it a month ago they told me their machine wouldnt pick it up but they said they thought it has to do with anti braking system. Could you please help me.

Every time I put gas in Jeep it back- flows all over the place. Not only does it ruin the paint but it's a safety hazard splashing all over my clothes and once sprayed on my neck. A little higher it would have gotten on my face. I hear it might be the butterfly not closing so it doesn't know you tank is full or close to being full. Should be any easy recall so why isn't it ??? very unsafe please have this fixed!!.

Gasoline overflows out of vehicle during fuel fill up. This occurs at various gas stations using different pumps.

While driving about 50mph and then begin to slow down on a major highway. The steering wheel begins to wobble back and forth violently and the whole vehicle shakes like crazy, and the muffler sputters like it is about to shut off. I have had to forcefully stear to the shoulder of the road and my vehichle continues to shake, the only way to get it to stop is to turn it off and restart it. This also happened when my vehichle was sitting in my garage and I turned it on to warm it up, it starts to shake and sputter after about 30 seconds of being turned on. I've heard it called the "death wobble" and I understand why. This has happened numerous times over the last 4 months. The condition seems very dangerous to me.

Traveling about 50 mph in sweeping left turn on smooth, paved road, vehicle began to shake violently, did not want to respond to hard braking and continued until under 25 mph. Tires were close to being worn out, they were replaced with new alignment. Problem has continued with new tires. Jeep was at dealership 3 days and they could not find anything wrong, I want to add they were concerned and very nice but found no problem. Driving home from dealership it happened 3 times and has happened numerous times since. Dealership suggested new tires were bad, but this has now happened on 2 sets of tires. The problem occurs with such violence it is unsafe to driver, passenger, and other vehicles sharing the road. This also happens on roads with bumps on straightway such as might be found in right lane where heavy trucks cause surface deformaties. Our Jeep has no modifications to any part, steering, suspension, shocks, or has tires not recommended for this vehicle.

While driving on the freeway my vehicle lost power. I was able to turn the key off then on again and start it while in neutral. It was just after hitting a large seam in the highway. I later replicated the incident in a vacant parking lot and found that I could be driving bump the keys and the vehicle would shut down. Also gave a quick downward tug to my key ring simulating hitting a bump and the vehicle shut down at that point also.

Clock spring has went bad. Which makes the airbag and horn useless. Only 3 years old.

I started feeling a warble when I would hit a bump on the road, took it into a les schawb they told me it was warn tie rod ends, so I then took it to Jeep dealer 'lithia" in eugene oregon they inspected it and said nothing was wrong. Today I was coming home on hwy 126 and after I hit a part of the road that is rough, the Jeep totally went out of control the whole thing was shaking so bad I had everything I could do to slow it down and pull off to the side of the road, it probably would feel like if all 4 tires popped at once. It scared me so bad, I was just shaking. I got out looked at all the tires, and underneath,l seen nothing wrong so I put on my 4 way flashers and drove home the last 3 miles at a crawl. I will contact Jeep again on Monday and tell them there is a problem, the power steering has also went out twice on this and had to be fixed.

While driving under 30 mph on asphalt, dash display indicated "hot oil" with an audible ding. Placed in park and allowed the transmission to cool down. First time this has happened to my Jeep, however after research this is a common issue due to the transmission cooler not doing its job. Can result in equipment failure or fire. Jeep corrects issue after a failure, however if you wait for failure then you risk fire. With 2 children and my wife in the Jeep, this is unacceptable and needs to be addressed now for safety.
