| Clockspring went out on this jeep at about 38,000 miles and 69,000 miles, causing the airbag light to come on, rendering the airbags inoperable. had clockspring replaced both times to fix the problem. jeep now has about 97,000 miles on it and the airbag light is on again. we have another bad clockspring. jeep has had a recall on the clockspring for previous models. since jeep has recalled previous models for this same problem, and judging by the amount of complaints about the clockspring i have read on other web sites, you would think jeep would do the right thing and recall it and fix it properly. i have had several other cars with well over 100,000 miles on them and never had a clockspring go out before. i presently have two subarus each with almost 300,000 miles on them with no clockspring problem. jeep is supposed to be a rugged vehicle, but so far i have been extremely disappointed in it and consider it no more rugged than a platic toy version. this is not just a nuisance, but a real safety problem if the jeep were in a collision when the airbag was inoperative due to a bad clockspring. | |||

| Computer crashed and replaced a year later still messing up doing the following: car shuts and lock up while driving, headlights go off while night driving,horn goes in and out, air light bag on and dings,horn honks continuously, wipers and washer fluid going continuously , lights blinking and flashing continuously, car will not shut off in off position, air temperature is not reading right or at all, air conditioning goes out. all of these can be stopped by turning the car off and restarting or in bad times it has to have the yellow rectangle fuse thing pulled out and plugged back in located in the fuse box. steering damper has gone out, fuel spillage it doesn't shut off and transfer case messed up. never know when the computer is going to do something screwy.just hope it doesn't cause a wreck by locking up and quitting while driving headlights going off in night driving because there will be major lawsuits on all sides. jeep refuses to fix the problem free of charge. as of april 6 2011 still having these problems. | |||

| Corrosion to clock spring in steering column resulting in horn failure to sound hard top roof leaks like a sieve in rain resulting necessitating my removing the carpet and leaving drain plugs open-now the emergency brake is rusty from damp interior won't start in park-only starts if shifter shoved into neutral or shoved forward while turning key door hinge pins rusty flat tire light stays on air bag light periodically on, which means air bag is not functional at those times | |||
