| Description of the problem | Overnight failure while parked: started jeep in the morning and discovered no interior dome light upon entering, no turn signals, no headlights, no wiper controls, no steering wheel controls, no seat heaters, no esp control. Troubleshooting revealed a grounded clock spring causing critical system failures rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. These same clock springs were recalled by nhtsa on may 11, 2016 under campaign number 16v288000 ( https://www. Nhtsa. Gov/recalls? Nhtsaid=16v288) only on right-hand drive vehicles for "contamination failures" causing air bag failures where they were replaced and a more protective steering wheel trim shroud was installed. It's safe to say that the left-hand drive vehicles are experiencing the same failure and are no more exempt from these contamination failures. It's also safe to say, i have the same failure and the same air bag malfunction that, thankfully, i did not discover. Thank god i was not in an accident where the air bag didn't fire, or i would have had need to hire an attorney. |
