Buttons on steering wheel does not work also the horn does not work also. I believe it's the clockspring which is a recall for some jeeps but not mine. Which affects the horn and airbag.

This vehicle's airbag clockspring was previously replaced under a safety recall in Jan 2017. The airbag light came on again, Jeep was taken to dealership because of major safety concern, airbag may not deploy when airbag light illuminated. Jeep Dealership discovered the clockspring had to be replaced again. Repair was completed by Jeep Dealership on Sept 7th 2021, receipt included. The problem was also reported to Jeep Customer Service for possible reimbursement because of previous recall, but reimbursement was denied, because replacement clockspring out of warranty.

Clockspring failed. Airbag light is on and will not deploy due to clockspring failure. This is known safety issue for Jeep. My last Jeep had to have 2 replaced. I am told there is no recall for this year of Jeep clockspring but when I look online it says that 2007-2010 vehicles and 2011-2016 right hand drive. The recall for the years 2007-2010 started as right hand drive only and ended up extending to all Jeep-€™s. This one should as well. Obviously they make a substandard product and someone has to die before they recall and fix it. I do not have anything to upload as my vehicle is currently at the dealership and I am told the clockspring needs to be replaced. I live in rural Kansas, the closest part is in St Louis Missouri. It will take 2 days to get arrive and THIS IS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT SHOULD BE!!!!!

First, my vehicle intermittently would not allow me to scroll through the on dash menu, then the steering wheel audio controls began to do the same. Eventually, all steering wheel controls except cruise control ceased to operate including the horn. This was all just inconvenient until the horn ceased to work. Multiple times now I-€™ve been on the roadway while other cars have drifted into my lane with no way of making my presence known. Finally, my airbag light began intermittently coming on. Within two days, it-€™s now on all the time. I understand this to mean that my driver side airbag will not deploy in the case of a collision. This is a basic safety function that is not working and is due to a known manufacturer-€™s design flaw.

The driver's side airbag deployed/exploded while the car was parked and not in use. Luckily nobody was driving at the time as this could have caused serious injury or death -- imagine if a driver-side airbag went off while driving, prompting a collision with other vehicles and/or pedestrians. The car had not been driven for approximately 24 hours and had not been in any accidents or had any previous incidents. There were no warning lights previously regarding the airbag or any other issues with the car. The car has been seen by Lake Norman Jeep Chrysler (and is still there) and they did replace the passenger side airbag per a recall. They do not know the cause of the deployment. The airbag and ORC module need replacement at a cost of $2,200. The dealer said that Jeep would not cover the cost for the repairs because the driver's side airbag is not being recalled and because the car is no longer under warranty. The dealer suggested we contact Chrysler directly via their customer assistance department. Chrysler Customer Assistance Center (800-247-9753) was not interested in helping us figure this out and in fact, would not let us speak to a manager regarding this situation. They stated that the airbag costs would not be covered as the 2015 Jeep Wranger is no longer under warranty. We feel it is Jeep's responsibility to fix/pay for this defect and it should also be looked into further to see if there are many others, or if this is a standalone case. Some google searches have said some airbags have been known to explode due to heat/humidity. The temperature at the time of deployment was approximately 75 degrees. We are most disheartened by the poor response from Chrysler's Customer Assistance Center, and shocked that they would not let us speak to a manager. Unbelievable lack of concern and service.

Air bag light is on intermittently. Running checks throughout my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the issue resides in a faulty clockspring. After doing research it appears Chrysler/Jeep issued a recall for RHD Jeep Wranglers on faulty clockspring due to dust contamination. Looking over several Wrangler forums, the issue doesn't reside in just the RHD Jeep Wranglers, but also LHD Jeep Wranglers as well. The part is interchangeable for RHD and LHD Jeep Wranglers. I would assume more LHD Jeep Wranglers are manufactured as to the reason the recall wasn't pushed to LHD Jeep Wranglers to keep costs down.

I was stopped in a turn lane waiting for the traffic light to change when I was impacted by another driver at approximately 45 mph. The drive drove directly into the front of my Jeep as if she was aiming for it. Despite my foot being on the brake my Jeep was pushed in reverse at least 50 ft due to the forceful impact. Neither vehicles were drivable due to the frontend damage. Thankfully, I was wearing my seatbelt because my airs didn't not deploy as expected in a frontend collision.
