| Air bag light starting going off and on in my 2009 jeep wrangler xunlimited about 62,000 miles. now it is on more than off. dealer says they can't determine what the cause is unless the light is on while they hook it up for diagnostic testing. have reviewed various other complaints online about this problem and was told to report to your website. it is a right hand drive rural mail jeep. i believe chrysler needs to recall these vehicles. | |||

| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) to whom it may concern: i have a 2009 four door jeep wrangler unlimited with a defect in the electronic stability system. while traveling on the interstate in may 2010, the dash board slipping indicator light started flashing and the vehicle clamped down on the front right brake driving me off the interstate into the grass. fortunately, i was able to stop before having an accident. the system then indicated that there was a problem and the esp disarmed itself while disabling the esp. the bas indicator lit. shortly before i was able to get the vehicle to the garage, the esp module apparently reset itself and the vehicle swerved to the right (front right brake again clamping down) while i was going 30mph. fortunately, i have 3 mpg videos of this 2nd incident because i happened to have my camera it the passenger seat. videos of 2nf incident and repair receipt: http://www.ecjones.org/jeepesp/ on may 20, 2010, cogdill dodge (865-690-1611) replaced the antilock-brake/esp module. unfortunately, last saturday june 4, 2010 while driving home, the vehicle esp slippage indicator again flashed and the jeep swerved sharply to the right. my son [xxx] was driving at the time while i was in the passenger seat. [xxx] states the jeep was also trying to accelerate while simultaneously applying the right front brake. i believe that the problem is a failure of the front left wheel speed sensor getting the speed indication to the esp module. the module was replaced but the problem persists. [xxx] p.s. the jeep is currently parked while i await a 2nd repair by jim cogdill dodge this wednesday. | |||

| Transmission oil overheating.... while making long ascents (climbs) up hill in 4 wheel drive, the transmission fluid has overheated twice in my 2009 jeep wrangler under non-rigorous conditions (dirt road). this occurred twice over the past 4 weeks, where i immediately shut down the vehicle and let it cool off each time. i noticed the transmission was having problems because i received a hot oil warning on the instrument panel. i have travelled these roads in other 4x4 vehicles in the past without any problems. each time this occurs, it is important to turn off the vehicle and let it cool off, otherwise the vehicle could catch fire due to the hot tranny oil boiling out and coming in contact with the exhaust system. i took it the to the dealer (moore jeep in peoria, az) twice and was told there was no known correction for this and since nothing was technically broken, nothing could be done. they offered to put in a tranny cooler at my expense, however, this would void my lifetime transmission warranty. i contacted chrysler directly and filed a formal complaint. i asked that they support adding a transmission cooler or replace the tranny to the jeep, and they denied the request because they can only replace items that are broken. since the tranny has not completely broken down, they don't see a problem that needs fixed. they applied recall j31, which make a chime when the tranny oil overheats - telling me to turn off the vehicle and let cool. no repairs were made. i have a 9 month old grandchild who travels with me in a child seat and i am concerned that if the vehicle starts on fire, i may not be able to unbuckle him out of the carseat in the back fast enough. | |||
