Most of the dash lights are on scan code U1412. Says traction control not working, ABS not working, speedometer not working, and airbags not working. The Power Control Module (PCM) needs replaced. A known issue with the Jeep Wrangler JKs. No one stocks the parts and used ones are way over priced. How can Jeep not have to replace it or at least stock a replacement part that has the issues resolved?
ABS failing. Loss of Traction Control & Possible Brake Failure. Vehicle Manufacturer failing to provide parts.
I will be driving down the road and a red lighting bolt will flash on my gauges then the jeep will either lose power or shut off. I was almost hit by a semi truck due to this. Once I cycle the key goes away till the next time it happens. Also the brake assist will randomly kick on typically applying braking power to the left rear passenger tire. This is not fixed by cycling the key. Jeep has recalled newer Wranglers for these exact issues but when I contacted Jeep they said it would cost me out of pocket
Airbag, brakes, traction control inoperative with c2200-00 code for internal brake control fault. Vehicle has 58k miles garage kept, now has no safety components working. It is a known problem apparently all over the internet. Why isn't this being addressed.
I HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN AS A COMMON PROBLEM. JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T UNDER RECALL. THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING WHILE IN MOTION STARTING AT 50 MPH. IF IN TRAFFIC I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP WOBBLING. IT HAPPENS DAILY AND IS DANGEROUS. STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. LAST HAPPENED YESTERDAY. GETTING WORSE.

ISSUE OVERVIEW: 2010 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT AGREE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE NOR FIX THE ISSUE, WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE FOUR PAGES OF SPECIFIC NOTES AND SERVICE DATES, ETC. AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL OFFICIAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT OUTLINES THAT JEEP KNEW THAT THE SAFETY CONCERN I WAS RAISING WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I CAN EMAIL OR FAX THIS DOCUMENTATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS THIS TEXT BOX WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE INFORMATION SPECIFICS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V290000 (SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) AND 18V021000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. JAKE SWEENEY CHRYSLER JEEP (85 W KEMPER RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45246) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

ALL THE BREAK LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONE TIME (ESP, BAS, ABS) AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. NO RAIN OR OTHER WEATHER EVENTS OCCURED, ON DRY PAVEMENT
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL LETTER AND ALSO THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL ON MY JEEP NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SO I CAN NOT EVEN HAVE PASSENGERS IN IT PLEASE FIX THE CLOCKSPRING AND ADVISE ON THE AIRBAG
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.
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?
ON THE 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 HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE 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. FIAT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS JUST OVER 50K MILES AND BOTH THE ESP / BAS LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAVE BEGUN FLASHING AND CHIMING INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY FIAT CHRYSLER THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ON THE 2010 (LHD) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CLOCK SPRING EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE TO OTHER MODEL YEARS AND THE RHD VERSION ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR. THE CLOCK SPRING IS THE SAME IN ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPRESENTS A POTENTIAL THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE AIRBAG FAIL TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEPLOY PREMATURELY.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. *TR
INITIALLY, AFTER MODERATE ACCELERATION FROM A STOP TO 35 MPH, ENGINE ELICITS A NEW LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THIS SOUND DIRECTLY CORRESPONDS TO ENGINE RPM DRAMATICALLY INCREASING WITH RPM OVER 2000. WHEN DECELERATING FROM A HIGHER RPM, THE SOUND INCREASES UNTIL MODERATE ACCELERATION IS AGAIN APPLIED. THE SOUND EMANATES FROM THE UPPER RIGHT ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES DURING ENGINE OPERATION. THIS SOUND FIRST OCCURRED WITHIN ONE WEEK OF A DEALER OIL CHANGE AND CONTINUES UNCHANGED AFTER 1400 MILES. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. GAS MILEAGE EFFICIENCY HAS DECREASED BY ONE TO TWO MILES PER GALLON. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, THE BAS/ESP AND ESC CAME ON FOR NO REASON. LIGHTS WILL NOT RESET. *TR
2010 JEEP WRANGLER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ALSO HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING BECAUSE OF A BAD CLOCK SPRING. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL IN THE CAR, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS PUSH THE BRAKES. I PULLED MY 6 SPEED JEEP INTO NEUTRAL AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND LETTING IT GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STILL SHAKING AS I AM SLOWING DOWN, THE JEEP FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GOING TO SHAKE APART. ALL CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY SAW I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY JEEP. A STATE POLICE TROOPER FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO BROKEN AXLES, LOOSE TIRES, TIRE PRESSURE IS GOOD. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE "EXPRESS SERVICE CENTER". THIS IS A 2010 WRANGLER WITH 75,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP THE FAILURE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT TOLD WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 39,000. UPDATED 03/115/13*LJ THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND CLEARED THE CODE. UPDATED 04/10/13
WHEN DRIVING THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT AT 40MPH AND HIT A BUMP THE JEEP VIBRATES AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STEER THE CAR SINCE YOU CANNOT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD A NAME FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS "DEATH WOBBLE". I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY TIRES WEAR MUCH QUICKER IN THE FRONT THEN THE REAR OF THE JEEP. *TR
I WAS DRIVING AND ASK OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD HEAR A CLANK/CLUNK IN STEERING COLUMN. ALSO HORN NOR CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING THE NEXT DAY. NO REASON WHY. JUST STATED THEY GO OUT. MINE WENT OUT AT 20XXX MILES!!! NO RECALL!! *TR
E S P A DEADLY IDEA THAT IS BEING FORCED UPON US. MAY OF 2010 I PURCHASED A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FIRST WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER I HAD E S P FAILURE. TOOK IT TO JEEP THE FOLLOWING WED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO RETURN IT TO ME UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, NO PARTS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT "GO AWAY ". E S P FAILURES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007. A SAFETY DEVICE TO SAVE YOU IN A CRASH SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE CRASH. ONLY ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FACTORY STOCK. NO MODS. JEEP BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROTECT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. THE OTHERS WILL STILL BE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. FORCED LEGISLATION OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURES. VARIOUS "HACK JOBS" WILL BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I ALREADY HAVE TO DODGE WEAVING DRIVERS FOR OTHER REASONS. DRUNKS ARE AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. HAS NO ONE ANY COMMON SENSE ANYMORE? IF I WANTED TO BE DRIVEN I WOULD HIRE A CHAUFFEUR. REMEMBER THE AUTO SEAT BELTS THAT THREW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND CAUSED THEM TO BE KILLED OR PARALYZED. ( I PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO). HOW ABOUT THE AIR BAGS DECAPITATING CHILDREN? THAT REALLY SAVED LIVES THERE. LET US NOT FORGET THE RECENT PRIUS FAILURES. *TR

THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,000.
