1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

Tipm is bad. Door don't open or lock at times. Sometimes when Jeep is turned off the Jeep radio will not turn off. Airbag light comes in at times.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2016

Vehicle upon leaving a store, (just began to rain hard), the lights, wipers, cruise control, horn, and all functions on the steering wheel and left and right stalk stopped working. I assume the airbag is also not functional. No codes were registered in the vehicle for malfunction either. It has been a week and it is still not functioning. Possibly the clock spring which was recalled for 2007-2012, but 2013+ vehicles were excluded even though it is the same part used in the later model vehicles. Huge safety hazard!.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2014

While driving my 2013 Jeep Wrangler, at cruising speed of 45 mph, the instrument panel started flashing random emergency icons. This flashing of the vehicles cluster along with speedometer and rpm gauge moving erratically continued for about 5 minutes until it stopped and only the traction control light remained on. I pulled over and turned off the vehicle. I restarted the vehicle, which seemed to fix the issue because the traction light turned off and everything seemed to be working. This is the first incident in which the lights flash continuously for several minutes, prior incidents had only flashed the cluster lights a couple of times and then they went back to normal. I contacted my dealership and they indicated they have only received reports of this issue on the Jeep cherokee.
