11 problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Clock spring is apparently damaged and not allowing the horn, airbag deployment or radio controls on the steering wheel to function properly.
My steering wheel controls are no longer working. This includes the horn, channel and volume control. They will work when the steering wheel is turned 45deg from top dead center. My research shows that this issue is caused by the "clock" spring assembly behind the air bag. Jeep currently has a recall out for rhd Wranglers and their clock spring assembly. I believe there are also issues with the lhd (left hand drive) models as well. I am taking this to the dealer in the morning. Note the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion or not.
Driving down the freeway all dash lights flash on including traction light and abs and feels like my brakes are pumping even when I did not touch the brakes with dinging sound radio shuts off, horn does not work or the buttons on the steering wheel to work the radio. Very dangerous esp when driving down the freeway.
Early may 2019 my Jeep's steering wheel controls started malfunctioning and now completely not working. The horn stopped working, radio and hands free controls on the steering wheel. I can not use my dash screen at all and it's just showing �- - �. I could not use my horn on may10th and was cut off and as a result was in an accident. The front end was significantly damaged and the airbags didn't deploy and I busted my face on the steering wheel and hit head on windshield. Diagnostic scan said there was 0 codes prior to accident and that triggered me to do research on the clock spring recall but my VIN is not under it???.
Jeep was totally dead on 8/9/2017. . . I replaced battery and it cranked but none of the electrical controls on steering column work, I. E. Blinkers, horn, lights, stereo controls, wind shield wipers. . Etc. (anything on the steerimg column minus the ignition switch). I took it to a mechanic and he stated the ipcm is bad and needs to be replaced. Mechanic stated he has seen 3 off these this week alone from Chrysler products. It is a 2014 with 40k miles, never been off round. Check engine light came on about a month ago with the code p054c but went off at the next crank up and hadnt come on again. Why would this part just fail? it's nothing I did. Sounds like a faulty part.
Clockspring recall (NHTSA recall # 16v-288) ( manuf recall # s40) affects not only the airbag but. . Also. . . . . "causes a non working horn". No horn is a safety hazard by not having it working at any time while operating (stopped or driving) the Jeep. Jeep dealers have "no" est of when repair part will be available???? ""not acceptable on the part of Jeep/Chrysler!!!!!'''.
Clock spring went out at only 25,000 miles causing my airbag light go on and stay on. I was driving down a highway at approx 50 miles per hour when the light and alarm came on. . The light started coming on intermittantly and then came on and stayed on with the alarm going off and on. It also cause my stereo to burn out and the horn to stop working.
As I was driving in the left lane, a driver in the right lane began to change lanes and nearly sideswiped me. I went to honk my horn, but it did not work. Fortunately, there was no oncoming traffic - I had to move into that lane to avoid being hit until the other driver noticed me. I checked both fuses (apparently there is a left and right horn fuse) and both looked fine. The vehicle is back in the shop again. It has already had the tipm module replaced twice (November 2014 and March 2015) so it would not surprise me if it's going to have to be replaced yet again.
At around 3:45 am, while I was sleeping, the horn on started intermittently blaring. I looked out the window and the reverse lights were on (at full brightness). For the next hour, it would start and stop randomly. I finally disconnected the battery in frustration. Earlier the previous evening, the headlights came on and stayed on. I had not used the Jeep for the previous two days. This issue is clearly related to the totally integrated power module (tipm) which has already been replaced once in this vehicle (which had caused the Jeep to stall -- and completely die -- several times). I am extremely concerned for my safety with this vehicle and this issue. This is a serious problem that has already cost some people their lives. Please address this and force Jeep to do a recall.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the horn would not work and the alarm would randomly activate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the technician diagnosed that there was a static electricity problem. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 10,000. The current mileage was 11,000.
My horn doesn't work. My turning signals intermittently working, my windows wouldn't work, the lighter wasn't working, but now is. Driving down road. Changed fuses, changed light bulbs. Same resuld.
