Tipm- door locks shorted out, fuel pump quits stranding the vehicle on the street, will not restart without pulling and resetting the iod fuse, causes airbag light to flash fault, rear wiper quits. This makes the vehicle unsafe or unable to be used. Vehicle was bought new and wouldn't think much about this if through research I had not found how many failures experienced by many have been related to this parts failure rate. Parked the vehicle and when went to restart it it would not resart, then the doors started locking and unlocking repeatedly locking me out of the vehicle with the keys in it. I reset the iod fuse and it started. Then going down the highway the warning lights in the dash started flashing, airbag, tcs, anti theft, tire pressure, ABS, stability control all came on then vehicle shut off. It would start then run for a few seconds and die. Through research I found this to be related to the anti theft in the tipm-. Tried replacing the door lock fuse and it started arcing and smoking. Vehicle is parked now with a tipm- on order. As stated previously, I bought this jeep new and if it was not such a widespread issue with chrysler products I woul not think much about a part failure at ten years.

What owners say
In october 2016 took my car in for oil change and the dealership advised me of a recall of clock spring. I have had my car in 4 times for faulty clock springs. My airbag lights and horn go off at random times sometimes my horn never works and my air bag light goes crazy with the horn...like the car is possessed.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. The contact stated that the driver crashed into a pole while driving at an unknown speed. The air bags failed to deploy. The air bag warning light illuminated. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v290000 (air bags) and 16v352000 (air bags), but the parts were unavailable for the repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available. Updated 10/18/16*lj the consumer stated as the repairman was attempting to park the vehicle, he hit a steel rail, damaging the bumper. The hit was hard enough to deploy the air bags. Updated 10/26/16.
Air bag light goes on and off while driving. My issue seems consistent with recalls due to clock spring failure in right hand model jeeps. Call to chrysler confirmed as such, but they won't commit to fix until recall investigation underway is concluded.
Air bag light comes on and off randomly. A recall was issued but not for this VIN.
Air bag light is on. Horn and cruise also quit working when this occurred. Rear ended a lady last fall and airbag failed to deploy, not sure it should have but still didn't. Can not ever fill the gas tank full due to fuel spilling out of the fill tube onto the ground, can get slightly more that 3/4 full.
Just purchased this vehicle and it has the airbag light light on after warranty period ended. After getting it looked at they told me it the clock spring that need to be replaced. This is my 4th chrysler vehicle in the last 10 years. I have had to replace 3 clock springs in these vehicle. I looked online many people are facing the same problem, this should be a recall. The dealership wants $500 for the repairs. The vehicle has not been in any accident or any faults beside this manufacture defect. Please look into this matter there are many of us that have the airbag light on this should be a recall.

Just pulled out of the driveway. Turned right and the airbag warning light went off. And now continues to go off and ding every couple of minutes.
When driving in a straight direction at any speed the airbag light comes on. The light will go out when turning but will come back on when the wheel is straight again. Also the horn will not sound ( no fuse are blown) problem believed to be clock spring.
