7 Steering Failed problem of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 03/26/2013

On the 2012 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag and esp 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 2008+ Jeep Wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a poorly designed clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failures in the 2008 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around, as well as hazardous, and potentially fatal esp inputs that can cause the Jeep to strike into other vehicles and/or objects on the road, and potential roll-overs. Also, in the case of steering gear box failures, the clockspring is designed in such a way that it will also take out the clockspring, effectively doubling the cost of any required repairs. Daimler Chrysler has refused to address the reliability or safety concerns for this issue.

11 Steering Failed problem of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/02/2011

Death shake in front end . Steering stabilizer failure. To replace had to buy from Chrysler a modification bracket and shock. Could not buy aftermakt. My piont is I should not have to pay for a bracket that they did not make right in the 1st place. I almost was in a serious accident while driving normal coinditions. They compared it to a dell computer that if I needed a upgrade I would have to pay for it. Don't you think that driving a vehicle on a major hghwy is a little different than a computer sitting on a desk? I do not off road as this is a 2 wheel drive Jeep. I like what I drive but I think this should have been a recall before now.
