CLOCK SPRING

NHTSA ODI 11104077

THE CLOCK SPRING ON MY JEEP APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY JEEP IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS AS LONG AS THIS LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE WILL NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND JEEP (FCA US) RECALLED A MAJORITY OF JEEPS FROM '07-'12 FOR THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY THEY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING FOR MOST WRANGLERS FROM '11-'16. MY VEHICLE SHOULD FALL WITHIN EACH. I'M BEING TOLD BY BOTH FCA US AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED ON MY JEEP. THIS SEEMS WRONG WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING ISSUE IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL, THESE AIRBAGS REMAIN IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE RECALL OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY IN MY AREA MAKE MY VEHICLE A CONSTANT DANGER TO MY LIFE AND ALL THOSE ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I MAY DRIVE ON. THEY CONTAIN METAL COMPONENTS THAT KILL. NHTSA IS NOT DOING NEARLY ENOUGH TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO REPLACE SAID AIRBAGS BEFORE, HIGHLY POSSIBLE MULTIPLE DEATHS OCCUR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WATER ACCUMULATING ON THE FLOOR IN 8 TO 12 INCHES ON BOTH FRONT PASSENGER SIDES. NOT A DROP WAS FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO, REPORT OTHER THAN THOSE I HAVE ON A HARD DRIVE FROM SOMEONE MY DEALERSHIP HAD TO CALL IN TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BY THE NAME OF,"THE WATERMAN." WHY ARE THERE NO REPORTS ON FILE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ICONS LIGHTING UP, REPAIR DEPARTMENT CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IN PHOTOS OF THE DASHBOARD AS PROOF AND EVIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MECHANICAL AND BODY OUTSIDE S WELL AS THE ENTIRE INTERIOR.THE CARPET REQUIRES REPLACING REFUSED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THE WATER CAUSED THE CARPETING TO BECOME LOOSE, THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP TO HOLD THE MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE ,CAUSING IT TO PUNCH UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS.THERE IS ALSO A RIP ABOUT AN INCH OR SO BESIDE THE PLASTIC CLIP MEANT TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE. THIS IS A DEADLY DEFECT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER TWICE BEING DEEMED REPAIRED, BOTH SIDE VIEW ELECTRIC HEATED MIRRORS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM CLEAR FROM WATER, THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED RUST AND CORROSION TO ACCUMULATE UNDER THE CARPET WHERE MOST OF THE WIRES AND PARTS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ARE PLACED AND COMPROMISED.THERE ARE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS,VISIBILITY

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SO I FINALLY TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT REPAIRED BUT THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE NO AIRBAGS BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS NO BUT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RECALL SO I NEED TO PAY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? WHY WOULD MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND THEN I GET A RECALL BUT YET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT?? I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT I THINK AT LEAST A YEAR OR MORE AGO WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE RECALL CAME OUT BUT NOBODY HAD PARTS.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN RANDOMLY COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. I RESEARCHED THE TOPIC TO FIND OUT THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS OFTEN THE CAUSE OF THIS. I FILLED OUT A COMPLAINT MENTIONING THE CLOCKSPRING. SHORTLY AFTER, AND PERHAPS COINCIDENTALLY, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS/UNLIMITED MILES. I TOOK THE WRANGLER INTO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSTICS SUGGESTED THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ORC (OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER) MODULE. I ASKED THEM TO HOLD OFF ON THE REPAIR AND I WOULD DO SOME RESEARCH. THAT IS MY CURRENT STATUS.

TAKATA RECALL (RECALL DATE JULY 1, 2016) OF RECALL NUMBER S43 FOR A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND I HAVE CALLED JEEP/MOPAR ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS. ON THE LAST CALL THEY ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 31, 2017. THERE WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE A RECORDING OF THIS CALL, WHICH WAS ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 24, 2016. ON FEBRUARY 17, I AGAIN CALLED MOPAR AT 1-800-853-1403, AND WAS TOLD BY [XXX] (EMPLOYEE/[XXX] NUMBER RI183) THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 31, 2017. I AM IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST AND MOST HUMID AREAS OF THE USA, SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, AND MY VEHICLE, A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, VIN # [XXX], IS A 2011 MODEL, SO IT IS AMONG THE OLDER VEHICLES IN THE RECALL. I ASKED THE CALL CENTER REPRESENTATIVE NAMED ABOVE TO TRANSFER ME TO A SUPERVISOR, AND FIRST SHE TOLD ME THAT NO SUPERVISOR WAS AVAILABLE, THEM THAT NO SUPERVISOR COULD BE LOCATED, THAN THAT THE SUPERVISOR WAS IN A MEETING. SHE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO RECEIVE A CALL-BACK, OR I COULD HOLD. I WAS ON A CELL PHONE, SO I ASKED FOR A CALL-BACK. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 10:30 IN THE MORNING AND I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL AT ALL THAT DAY. AUTO MAKERS CAN, WITH IMPUNITY, CONTINUE TO PUT AIRBAGS AND SENSORS IN NEW VEHICLES, AND CONTINUE TO SELL THEM, WHILE NOT STANDING BEHIND THOSE THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD. SENSORS NEEDED FOR THOSE CONSUMERS WHO PREVIOUSLY PUT THEIR TRUST IN THIS COMPONENT MANUFACTURER AND IN JEEP. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP, AS I DON'T EXPECT TO GET A RETURN CALL AS I WAS PROMISED, AND I DO EXPECT THAT WHEN I CALL AGAIN, MOPAR WILL WALK BACK THE PROMISE OF A MARCH 31, 2017 PARTS ARRIVAL.
