11 problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
First my horn stopped working then the buttons on the steering wheel quit working then the radio started getting all static but at first when radio started being static the cd player still worked and then the cd player would play intermittenly and not a sound in radio mode now now cd , no radio, no steering wheel button and no horn. The cruise control light comes on if the button is pressed but that is it. It is important to have a working horn safety!!! I was told it is the clockspring going out and causing all these issues and causeing the amplifier to fail and the stereo malfunction and needing to be replaced. Costing a couple thousand dollars.
Clock spring malfunction- the buttons on the steering wheel have all gone out, the horn no longer works, and the airbag light is on. This happened suddenly when I went to turn my car on after it had been parked and turned off for the night.
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.
After my horn started going on and off on its own, I did some research and found out that this is typically related to the tipm problem. Contacted my dealer, and they quoted me $1200 to repair. Also found out that this has been an issue with the 08 models and that the part numbers are the same, but for some reason Chrysler stopped the recall after the 08 models. My Jeep has about 71,000 miles on it, which is basically nothing. Aggravated to beyond belief.
Randomly while driving wipers, lights locks and horn will operate. This also happens sometimes when the doors are opened while stationary. It has become progressively frequent. I believe it to be the tipm based on thousands of other complaints.
I currently own a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that is experiencing some electrical issues. Currently the airbag light is on and there is a chime indicating such. This chime occurs approximately every 1 to 2 minutes. At about the same time the airbag light problem occurred, the other controls on the steering wheel such as the horn, cruise control and radio controls stopped functioning. I contacted Jeep (Chrysler) about the issue and was told they would contact me within 24-48 hours concerning this issue. Approximately 10 days went by and I had not heard back from Jeep. I contacted Jeep and was told that they will not fix this issue. I explained to them the safety concerns with not having a working horn and a questionable airbag. This did not seem to be an issue that they were to concerned about. I've been in law enforcement for several years now, and I cannot stress enough about the importance of having a functioning airbag. This is coming from some of the accidents that I have either witnessed or worked as an investigating officer. I have found through research that several earlier model (2007-2008) Jeep Wranglers have been recalled for similar issues. This is a recurring problem and I am sure you have received complaints on this issue in the past. This is my second Jeep and the company replaced the part that was causing the issue before. It was a 2007. This part is referred to as a clock spring and cost over $500. 00 to replace. I would like for this issue to be addressed before someone is gravely affected.

My clock spring is inop there is a recall for this on right side drive Jeeps well mine is a left side drive with the same issues that the right side drive has why isn't it a recall for all clock springs they are the same part number for both side drives please fix this as it also affects my horn and airbag. Thank you.
Continuing failure of electric clock spring/ cruise / horn systems. It has been to dealer 4 times and "fixed" and then re-fails within a short amount of miles. 6314, 9057, 10730, 18456 and is currently failing again(22000). Back to dealer as soon as I can schedule. I will first notice that the cruise control will not turn on and some times the horn will not work. However sometimes if I can honk the horn and then the cruise control will start working again; maybe for a few 100's of a few 1,000 miles. I am worry about the possible failure of the air bag if this keeps up. Please advice. My dealer keeps trying, but Jeep need to resolve! thanks. I will upload copies of my prior 4 service documents.
I have been experiencing electrical problems with my vehicle since I purchased it in November 2010. There has been systemic electrical failures that are getting progressively worse and putting my safety at risk. I have been getting the run around with Chrysler regarding the problems. - I purchased the vehicle brand new from a Jeep dealer in los angeles California. Since being purchased the following components have failed intermittently. Each part simply stopped working while I was driving the vehicle and in order to make them start working again I would have to pull over turn the car off wait a few minutes then turn the car back on (horn, lights, window maser switch, car stereo, car stereo amp, driver's airbag). Once I restarted the car it seemed like the Jeep would reset and the parts would start working again. Jeep has been replacing these items, but they would never root cause the problem. - most recently Chrysler discovered that the fuse box & electrical cluster were defective. It took Jeep 77 days to replace the 2 parts. The worse part is they tried to have me drive the vehicle during those 77 days until the parts became available putting me and any vehicle around me at risk of injury and death. This in my opinion is a serious safety hazard. - while I hope this is the end of my problems. . I think the NHTSA should investigate Jeep Chrysler's electrical cluster and components to ensure that they are worthy of being in vehicles on the road.
