I have numerous warning lights all on at the same time and constantly chiming as I drive. These are the following lights that are all on: check engine, air bag, ABS, brake, and traction control. I have read past communication which addresses problems. I truly believe none of these issues were addressed prior to my purchase in 2020.

"last visit: 1 Dec 2022" to dealer @ 219,882, to replace fuel pump, the codes reading, which I reviewed, besides wheel sensor & fuel pump, also reads clockspring fail:- horn not working, engine light on, electronic stability control light on, and left side of steering wheel controls not working which indicates clockspring failed which effects airbag. All mechanical repairs were made at the dealership where vehicle was purchased in 2014. Back on 6 Feb 2019 I asked the mechanic that was replacing the clockspring if the replacement part had been upgraded, improved, a different new unit ----"answer was no", it's the same old Jeep installed original part by Chrysler /Jeep company. "it is a safety issue and a recall should be issued again" !!! my question, if I have to pay for a replacement clockspring again, how much I it going to cost me again for the same original part that fails so frequently ?????"

My dash indicates that there is a problem with airbags, service engine soon, tire, and brakes. My controls on the steering wheel will not work. My seat belt doesnt stay hooked. I sometimes smell like a oil burning smell. Had to replace oil housing. And suspension feels very loose. My vehicle is not in recall, but make and model are with all recalls needing fixed. What do I do now?

Was in a car accident in which my jeep wrangler sport rolled twice and the front end is smashed. The car adjustors reviewed it as totalled out. The driver, I was the driver, airbags did not deploy. I'm highly concerned with this considering the damage to the vehicle and the wreck happening at a speed of over 50 mph.

The vehicle has a drivers side airbag fault and problem with the clockspring. This is not a recall but seems as though it should be as other models have recalls for the exact same thing.

My engine light came on. We got the machine attached the code read PO520 engine oil pressure sensor circuit. When we called the dealership they said it wasn't under warranty any longer and wouldn't repair. While I researched we found a technical service bulletin that was issued prior to the warranty expiration. The oil sensor should have and could have been replaced prior to the warranty expiring if the dealerships were mandated to notify and fix all repairs related to defective parts. During my research we found that the passenger side airbag is a recall in extended warranty status. Regardless if we got the extended warranty it is illegal for a dealership to sell a used vehicle with a defective airbag or a recall. It is also illegal for me not to get it fixed or my registration can be revoked. I should not be responsible for this cost to repair either of these items. I am just asking you to please take these issues seriously and to have both these parts replaced. If this wasn't bad enough, this time of year, covid and my current financial situation it makes it very difficult for me. Please help me.

Airbag warning light and audible tone comes on intermittently goes and comes while driving and or idling. Passenger side inflator was replaced with recall. Researching this warning many 2014 jk's are experiencing this problem. Research points directly to the clock spring. Fca usa should replace the part as a recall has been issued for RHD jk's and many lhd jk's are experiencing the same issue.

I have an airbag light on my dash (since 2016) with a code a diagnostic from a certified Chrysler dealer stating it matches the recall for this very same problem (needing the clock spring replaced because of dust contamination) however the VIN does not fall within range. I am worried that in the event of an accident, the poorly made components and Jeep's refusal to fix this will result in unnecessary injury.

I have received two notices about this airbag recall. Both times I called the same Jeep dealership service department and was told they would call me when they had the part. They never returned a phone call either time. Today, I called a 2nd dealership and they are fixing the recall in a matter of days. The first dealership that is completely abdicating their responsibility in regards to this recall is jake sweeney Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 85 w kemper rd, cincinnati, oh 45246; (513) 782-1000

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 Wrangler 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.
