2010 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 86, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Drove my car and everything was fine. Parked car at my apartments and smelled something that smelled like a fire. Went to the other side and saw fire coming from under the hood. Within minutes the fire consumed the entire front of my jeep wrangler. I never had any problems before this not even a check engine light was on.
While driving, the horn stopped working along with the speed control and wipers and directional signals . The airbag light is illuminated. My jeep wrangler has just over 30,000 miles on the odometer.
Tipm problem. Code reader codes are b10ec blower motor over current, b219a ignition start/ lock unlock over current. Suggested fix, replace tipm. Quoted from jeep to repair is $1100.00
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wangler. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning and the instrument panel lights illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove home. In addition, the vehicle failed to start. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
Cruise control stopped working a few months ago. Today I started getting the airbag warning light flashing on and off. Looks like I'll be dropping $500+ for a new clock spring. How is this not already listed as a recall?
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. When the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. Also, the horn did not sound when it was pressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tipm and the clock spring malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. Updated 05/11/16*lj
My headlights and marker lights would not shut off unless I disconnected the battery. Windshield wipers would randomly come on and not shut off. Changed out the accessory switch and that didn't fix anything. Changed some fuses and the problem seemed to be resolved. The next day my jeep wouldn't start. Jumped it without a problem and about a half a mile down the road while driving all of the dash lights started flashing. My jeep engines motor stalled while in motion on a busy city street with a speed limit of 40 MPH, fortunately I had just started slowing down for the red light so an accident did not occur. I sat in the middle of the busy road for ten minutes waiting for the police to push me to an empty parking lot. Due to these symptoms and the previous investigation (the federal safety agency defect investigation #dp14004), I believe I have a faulty tipm. The local repair shop in hubbard, ohio looked over the jeep for bad grounds and wires and nothing was found. On march 6, 2016, the jeep's headlights would not shut off unless the vehicle was shut off, the fog lights light on the dash flashed and the windshield wipers would come on with the fog light switch. The headlights would shut off when I shut the jeep off and removed the key, so I dealt with the problem for a few days until it went away on its own. I'm hoping this is the last of my tipm issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the front passenger side wireless key entry as well as the door lock on the inside failed to function. The contact also stated that now the driver side wireless key entry and interior the rocker switch both failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. While parked, the vehicle failed to start. The failure occurred once. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

On my 2010 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag 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 is happening when the vehicle is stationary and while in motion either on the highway or city roads. This is caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2010 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying."
Abs, esp and trac cont. Lights all came on simultaneously. Diagnosed as a faulty clock spring mechanism. $587.58 bill from the dealer, to repair. Approximately 66, 140 miles at the time of failure. Wrangler, 2 door, 4 wheel drive. Highway speed, approximately 65 MPH. Apparently it was not covered by the federal safety agency id: 13v176000, chrysler recall m31.
We bought this vehicle almost two years december. After having this vehicle around 7 months with no problems, we took it to king expresslube to have oil changed, in which, the wrong oil filter was put on vehicle resulting in a blown engine. King expresslube pair the entire cost of the engine and the vehicle was taken to north point jeep. Every since engine was replaced, we have had problems with the car not cranking. Vehicle has been towed to the jeep dealership numerous times with them saying, " we can't find anything wrong". Was advised to carry a " hammer" to tap under starter to " see if it will crank" . So it broke down again two weeks ago which they had the vehicle two days and was returned stating they can't find anything wrong! Would not crank again today and they finally found something! Said that it was the tipm, of course that's not covered under warranty and it will cost us 900.00 to replace part! This has been very tacky business practice since I have read today that chrysler has known this is a faulty part and unwilling to stand behind their vehicles! I am very upset that they are unwilling to help in any way! Thank you for listening to my story! Shannon h
Car stalled loosing all power and drivability dealer claims the alternator went bad and fuse able link melted causing me to need a whole new wiring set
Tipm module is unpredictable and shuts down without notice. If it happens in motion it can be fatal
I have been getting radom warning chimed and an air bag warning light when turning the steering wheel while cornering. Now it is almost always on and needs to be fixed before next inspection is due. Its a clockspring failure in the steering column, a problem common to the current wranglers from 07-2014. There has already been a recall for the rhd models for the same thing but not lhd jeeps. This is my second failure,my 2007 had the same problems as my 2010. Its time for jeep to offer a recall and replace this part of the airbag system.
While the vehicle was driven about 20mph, first on line to a traffic light and on about 20 t0 25 feet before the intersection and light was red, and when the brake was applied it did not stop and the vehicle kept moving and it was stopped by the emergency brake. A burning smell got inside the vehicle and people stopped yelling that the vehicle was on fire. When the hood was opened and the fire put out we notices that the fire started at the brakes pump sensor. It burned all the wiring around there to include plastic cover of left hand side wheel, the steering column rubber joint, sensors, the hood and other parts in that side.
Vehicle headlights failed to illuminate on activation of the headlight circuit via control stalk. Lights would flicker in a specific pattern then go dark. Activating high beam circuit repeated the cycle with high beam illumination. Complete reset of electrical system (battery disconnected for hour +) would clear up the issue for ~2-3 hours of operation before problem resumed. Required dealer replacement of tipm as headlight control circuit is a part of that module. Tipm was on backorder when problem first surfaced, leading me to believe that this model of tipm may be the source of the issue. Vehicle was undrivable for commute during early morning/evening hours due to lack of forward illumination. All other vehicle lighting and accessories functioned correctly.
Problem light for the suspension disconnect came on. Dealership had to replace the actuator because it was full of water and shorted out. Couple of weeks after problem with suspension, the tipm module had to be replaced. At time all problem lights on dash board lit up like a christmas tree and vehicle could not be started. Had to be towed.
While driving the jeep the airbag warning light came on with the warning chime. The light continued to go on and off intermittently and the chime sounded. I took the jeep to the local dealer who I bought it from and they determined it was a faulty clock spring in the steering column. I researched this issue on line and learned that this is a common problem on this model of jeep. Right hand drive models have been recalled for this issue and the clock springs replaced, but there is no such recall for the left hand drive vehicles. The on line information indicated that this issue could cause the airbag to not deploy in an accident, so I had it replaced by the dealer at my expense. This issue should be addressed by chrysler and owners who've had their clock springs replaced for this issue should be reimbursed for their expense.
I have a lhd jeep wrangler unlimited sport. It is a 2010 and the issue that is occurring is the clockspring has gone bad. The light came on for the air bag in about may and once I saw how much it was to fix it I just decided to deal with the annoying beep. After researching jeep forums, I've seen that chrysler corp has been pretty negligent in addressing the issue by saying the recall only applies for rhd vehicles. If you're having numerous reports of a problem but in a lhd vehicle why wouldn't you own up to it? I'm not sure if people need to die in an accident before they own up to it or what but its pretty ridiculous.
The problem happened 3 times. Two at very low speeds during the day, and once at night at high speed. The first time it happened, I was driving the jeep and the engine stalled. It was hard to steer, but I was moving slow. I thought it was a weird fluke. I put the car in park and restarted it with no problem. The second time it my husband was driving, we had just pulled out of our neighborhood and the jeep stalled. The breaks don't work well, and the steering is difficult. He put the jeep in neutral and restarted it with no problem. The third time it happened, was on january 10, 2015. I was driving at night with my child on a long trip. I had been driving the jeep for several hours on the interstate. It happened at around 10:00 pm - it was very dark. I was in the passing lane going about 65 MPH when the engine stalled, the headlights went out, all the interior lights went out, dashboard went dark, and I knew from the previous two times, that if I applied the breaks or tried to steer, it would be very difficult. I decided that I didn't want to look down and try to find neutral and accidentally put it in a low gear. So I turned the ignition switch and everything came back on (engine, light inside and out, power steering, and power breaks) while the jeep was in drive traveling at 65 MPH. I took it to the jeep dealer to have it repaired. They told me that the trans range sensor went bad. My main concern is - why is the engine stalling and jeep losing all power while moving when the sensor goes bad? There was no warning light to let me know a sensor was bad. Are all jeeps designed with this sensor, and will all jeeps experience the same thing if their trans range sensor goes bad, or was it just something that happened with my specific vehicle?
The air bag warning light came on. After taking to dealership was informed that the clockspring needed to be replaced for $550. This item will not allow deployment of the drivers airbag when not working and should be recalled.
Power window went down wouldn't go up..took to dealer when hooked to computer it says the control module is faulty. As a mail carrier this is a detriment to ability to do the job the vehicle was bought for. The dealer also stated that this is a known issue but there are no parts available to replace it.
My headlights constantly fail and will start to blink on and off and stay off!! This is a common problem with this model and chrysler can't seem to fix the issue. The safety of driving down the road and having your headlights turn off and not come back is a huge issue and should be addressed immediately. I would hope to think that someone would take the responsibility to rectify this problem before someone gets seriously injured!!!
While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle headlamps blinked on and off twice then went out. I tried cycling the switch on and off but they would not turn on. Shortly after switching to high beams, these too turned off. This has happened numerous times since 9/12/14.
9/26/2011 (32975 miles): air bag warning light on dash illuminated and chime alarm sounded every few minutes while driving. Defective clock spring replaced under warranty. 10/31/2011 (35283 miles): horn would not sound when button pushed on steering wheel. Defective clock spring replaced under warranty. 7/29/2014 (63000 miles) air bag warning light on dash illuminated and chime alarm sounded every few minutes while driving. Defective clock spring diagnosed.
After backing out of parking space, stopping and placing jeep in drive, vehicle continued to move in reverse. Dash display continued to indicate car was in reverse. Vehicle was placed in park and the ignition turned off. Vehicle would not restart. Tried disconnecting battery but did not reset. Also tried the manual override, which did allow shifting to neutral, however vehicle would still not start. Display continued to show vehicle in reverse regardless of shifting to different gears. This could have been a dangerous situation, with potential for injuries to those in the parking lot. Also, could have resulted in an accident had it occurred at an intersection or other location. Why is this not a recall? This seems to be occurring in many jeep/chrysler products based on vehicle forums.
While driving my air bag light came on. When I turn right it goes out. As I straighten out it comes back on. Research says it's a clock spring sensor or module based on how it goes on and off when the wheel is turned. Contacted my local dealership and was told that this is not a warranty issue and that it would cost around $400 for the part and labor. This is a device that has been recalled on many other jk jeeps, yet there is no recall on the 2010. Additionally I have a certified pre-owned warranty and they said it isn't covered under that warranty either. This is crazy.
