1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2024

My vehicle started showing the airbag light on and it ended up being the clock spring, many Jeep Wranglers have being recalled because the same issue. The clock spring is the one that controls cruise, airbag, horn, traction, etc. I took it to the dealership and they said the vehicle was showing the b1b02 code, witch the the same why all the other Jeeps were recalled but there is not a recall yet for my year. I want to people be aware of the importance of it, because in a crash the airbag will not deploy and even not in a crash the cruise control could malfunction anytime. I got my vehicle repaired today for a total of $1137. 00 that wasn’t covered my extended warranty because they alleged the clock spring/airbag problem is reported very often. This is a really safety matter for all the Jeep owners!!!.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2024

I have been having electrical problems with my Jeep for a couple of months. I took it in to my Jeep dealer that found over fifty problem codes. They cleared the codes and drove it for 180 miles over two weeks and could not get anything to duplicate. Some codes- service shifter, abs not communicating, engine light, no speedometer, sway bar service, service 4 wheel drive, cruise control off, remote start off, and more. They had me take it home and let them know if it continues. It did so I took it to a different mechanic and he came up with 72 codes and he couldn’t track any of them to a source. So I picked it up today and on the way home on the interstate curved overpass going 65 it suddenly veered to the right at the retaining wall. The power steering quite. It was all I could do to keep it from hitting the wall. If it would of been my wife driving she would of wrecked. I was almost home and was able to muscle it home barley able to turn into the drive way. After a while I went back outside and started it and the power steering worked just fine.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2023

Driving along at highway speed. Lost power steering. All lights lit on dash. Center lcd screen was giving warnings that all systems had failed. Anti lock brakes, gear selector, can bus systems, audio and gps systems. Fortunately I was driving on a straight highway. I've looked into this issue. Its called the christmas tree event. As all problem lights on dash light up. It looks like the fix is replacing 2 canbus ports behind glove box.
