Incident

Jan 10, 2026

I purchased a used 2015 Jeep Wrangler from a dealership in New York. At the time of sale, the vehicle had an open urgent safety recall (19V-018) for a defective Takata passenger airbag inflator. This recall was never disclosed to me by the dealership prior to or at the time of purchase. The recall advisory was noted on the NYS inspection report conducted the same morning the vehicle was sold to me, but was not communicated to me in any way. I discovered the open recall after experiencing repeated mechanical failures following purchase. Four days after purchase the vehicle overheated and had to be towed — the coolant system was found to be completely empty. An independent licensed mechanic subsequently inspected the vehicle and stated on record that the mechanical defects appeared to be pre-existing conditions that existed prior to the sale. The vehicle currently has an unrepaired Takata airbag inflator which the manufacturer has identified as capable of exploding and sending metal fragments into the vehicle interior at high speed, risking serious injury or death to occupants. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The recall remains unrepaired. The dealership was contacted and a manager verbally acknowledged they did not disclose the known defect prior to sale.

Took to two shops for the air bag light on dashboard. They told me this is a known issue with the clockspring and I should check for recalls. My vin shows no open recalls, but because this is a known issue with a previous recalls, i believe recurring issues should be assessed and repaired under the ongoing recall.

Unknown But my concern is the clock spring recall. I would like that fixed I don't understand why I can't have it fixed under the recall for my Jeep Wrangler 2 door. I am worried that the air bag won't work... right now the horn and a few other controls on the steering wheel doesn't work. So I believe this vehicle is part of the recall.

The steering wheel clock spring fail and jeep has always given me hassles at the dealership and it was not convenient to where I lived. So I had my local shop fix it. They asked me where and why I got it fixed somewhere else and I answered. They even have a reimbursement from for work done by other shops and they outright denied my claim. I drove a year with no airbag because they installed faulty products that allowed dust to enter my clock spring and risk my life. I want reimbursement. It was $1400 to get it fixed and I should not be liable for that when they have a reimbursement section and don’t outline what does and does not qualify. They won’t provide me with exact verbiage or where I would even see that on the page. Please help me. I’m begging. It’s so much money for me and nothing for a mega corporation like Stellantis.

Buttons on steering wheel does not work also the horn does not work also. I believe it's the clockspring which is a recall for some jeeps but not mine. Which affects the horn and airbag.

Clockspring failed. Airbag light is on and will not deploy due to clockspring failure. This is known safety issue for Jeep. My last Jeep had to have 2 replaced. I am told there is no recall for this year of Jeep clockspring but when I look online it says that 2007-2010 vehicles and 2011-2016 right hand drive. The recall for the years 2007-2010 started as right hand drive only and ended up extending to all Jeep’s. This one should as well. Obviously they make a substandard product and someone has to die before they recall and fix it. I do not have anything to upload as my vehicle is currently at the dealership and I am told the clockspring needs to be replaced. I live in rural Kansas, the closest part is in St Louis Missouri. It will take 2 days to get arrive and THIS IS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT SHOULD BE!!!!!

First, my vehicle intermittently would not allow me to scroll through the on dash menu, then the steering wheel audio controls began to do the same. Eventually, all steering wheel controls except cruise control ceased to operate including the horn. This was all just inconvenient until the horn ceased to work. Multiple times now I’ve been on the roadway while other cars have drifted into my lane with no way of making my presence known. Finally, my airbag light began intermittently coming on. Within two days, it’s now on all the time. I understand this to mean that my driver side airbag will not deploy in the case of a collision. This is a basic safety function that is not working and is due to a known manufacturer’s design flaw.

Incident

Jul 21, 2021

The driver's side airbag deployed/exploded while the car was parked and not in use. Luckily nobody was driving at the time as this could have caused serious injury or death -- imagine if a driver-side airbag went off while driving, prompting a collision with other vehicles and/or pedestrians. The car had not been driven for approximately 24 hours and had not been in any accidents or had any previous incidents. There were no warning lights previously regarding the airbag or any other issues with the car. The car has been seen by Lake Norman Jeep Chrysler (and is still there) and they did replace the passenger side airbag per a recall. They do not know the cause of the deployment. The airbag and ORC module need replacement at a cost of $2,200. The dealer said that Jeep would not cover the cost for the repairs because the driver's side airbag is not being recalled and because the car is no longer under warranty. The dealer suggested we contact Chrysler directly via their customer assistance department. Chrysler Customer Assistance Center (800-247-9753) was not interested in helping us figure this out and in fact, would not let us speak to a manager regarding this situation. They stated that the airbag costs would not be covered as the 2015 Jeep Wranger is no longer under warranty. We feel it is Jeep's responsibility to fix/pay for this defect and it should also be looked into further to see if there are many others, or if this is a standalone case. Some google searches have said some airbags have been known to explode due to heat/humidity. The temperature at the time of deployment was approximately 75 degrees. We are most disheartened by the poor response from Chrysler's Customer Assistance Center, and shocked that they would not let us speak to a manager. Unbelievable lack of concern and service.

Air bag light is on intermittently. Running checks throughout my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the issue resides in a faulty clockspring. After doing research it appears Chrysler/Jeep issued a recall for RHD Jeep Wranglers on faulty clockspring due to dust contamination. Looking over several Wrangler forums, the issue doesn't reside in just the RHD Jeep Wranglers, but also LHD Jeep Wranglers as well. The part is interchangeable for RHD and LHD Jeep Wranglers. I would assume more LHD Jeep Wranglers are manufactured as to the reason the recall wasn't pushed to LHD Jeep Wranglers to keep costs down.
