| Description of the problem | I have been having a issue with the clockspring in the vehicle. My airbags do not work nor does my horn and sometimes signal will not operate or stay on and cannot shut them off and even my headlights will not turn on, all to me major safety issues. I have contacted jeep and they say that the lifetime warranty that i have on this vehicle is not covering this part called a clockspring for my make and year of this jeep, but only in a right hand driven configuration. After hearing from many wrangler owners and reading hundreds upon hundreds of online post and personal experiences form others owning these jeeps that this is a very common problem in these vehicles and jeep will not replace it at all until, as told to me from jeep, the nhtsa forces us too. That is why i am emailing/contacting you all. 1000's of us jeep owners are tired of paying $500 plus to get a part replaced that even jeep has acknowledged is bad or will go bad. I'm furious about this and want some type of action taken. If i were to be in an accident, i have no airbag safety protection, nor able to use my horn or signals many of times. All major safety issues. Can you please help me and the other 1000's of jeep owners with this issue? Thanks for your time and anything that you can do for me. |
