2011 JEEP WRANGLER Electrical System Problems

When braking since these lights are on it will cause issue with the brakes themselves as if they don’t want to brake fully. Now I’m a 32 year old man and am aware of making sure your brakes are good and fully functioning. I’ve noticed also the steering when slowing down too from this. Nothing underneath the vehicle is an issue for steering. All steering components are fully functioning. I’ve noticed issues with the clock spring in the Jeep as well. Sometime it comes and goes (most likely and electoral problem) geez who knew! Haha, however when I’m turning the airbag light will stay on then go off and the lights on the steering wheel themselves with turn off. They’ve been off for awhile now. Since this is happening on a daily basis. When owing down it’s cause a very big issue for me because it will make the jeep want to turn in any direction it may feel and sometimes that direction is in another lane mostly on coming traffic! I have not had the jeep looked at by a dealer but has been by a mechanic with a $3000 scanner and he still has the codes stored for me. No and no.

Wipers immediately stopped working during heavy snow and rain mix. After spending a lot of money and time trying to repair they still did not work. All fuses and wires as well as wiper arms were inspected, the wiper motor and multifunction swith were replaced, my battery was replaced and no wipers. After verifying electrical circuits and power to the wiper motor, it was determined to be an issue in the tipm, apparently a frequent issue with Jeep vehicles. This is a dangerous issue that can cause accidents and certainly does not allow a vehicle to pass a state safety inspection, as in my case. This is an expensive repair that Jeep should be responsible for bt recalling these units on the Wranglers that are so often affected!

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that occasionally while driving at various speeds, the air bags warning light illuminated. In addition, the seat belt warning light would illuminate while driving downhill. The check engine warning light illuminated on the day the vehicle was purchased. The contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD2 scanner and retrieved a code that the battery might have been disconnected. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

Mileage: 110,000

All of my wires on the drivers side is unhooked and hanging. All of my emergency light have came on. The car is running hot and not catching up on proper speed. The car wobbles left and right when going over 40mph. My reverse camera is hanging covering my license plate causing m to consistently get pulled over. There are a lot of safety concerns. The dealer used profanity towards me and told me he was not fixing anything, I better use my warranty. I got what I got!

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard an abnormal whistling sound emanating from the engine compartment, after which he observed smoke emanating from the engine compartment, prompting him to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection, the contact observed that the smoke was coming from the alternator, which seemed to be receiving power even though the vehicle was turned off, prompting the contact to disconnect the battery. Upon disconnecting the battery, the smoke dissipated. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 156,000.

We have been dealing with electrical issues with our Jeep for a few years now. About 2 months ago, the Airbag light turned on the dash, along with the Seatbelt light (although I am buckled in). I have now found that there are up to 6 recalls on the Airbag malfunctioning, but have never receive a recall or mention of this kind of malfunction when buying the car. How can I get this corrected? This car will not keep us safe, better yet pass an inspection with this manufacture's malfunction.

I have Airbag failure. I had it diagnosed by a local mechanic. My Jeep had Airbag failure in the past and the repair was done by Jeep. Jeep refused to pay for it, although the same year of Wrangler was recalled for the Airbag failures. They returned my money almost 2 yrs later. The current Code is B1B02 (Clockspring). In addition to my Airbag light being on, due to failure (defect), my other gauges are not working properly (gasoline etc.) and the electronics will not work now (buttons on steering wheel for cruise control, radio, trip/mileage etc. Jeep dealerships in Illinois have repeatedly stolen parts off my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, as it is a "Special Edition" Black Ops package. I have also caught a Jeep technician draining my coolant, which he spilled all over my radiator, in an attempt to tell me I had a "leak" and all the coolant is gone. He tried to "bend" my waterpump (in front of me) and I demanded he return my keys & I left. I've run out of reputable dealerships to take my Jeep. PLEASE HELP! I have a disabled child who rides with me & I cannot be without Airbags. Since day of purchase, this Jeep has been riddled with KNOWN DEFECTS. The local mechanic told me there was a Recall. Jeep has not notified me of Recalls or ANY information in several years, as a result of my complaints to the Manufacturer's Administrators about the continuous theft and fraud by their dealerships and the defects in my Jeep.

on 10/18/2023 my 2011 jeep wrangler jk sport was driving on highway I-270 . after driving for 10 miles the jeep started to jump back and forth like it was running out of fuel . then the jeep just died while driving in the fast lane. I managed to get it to the side break down lane by coasting it over with out injury's ,but almost caused tree car crash by them avoiding contact with my jeep. I had the jeep towed home by friend and had it checked out there was not dash lights , not radio , no headlights , and when the key was turned on the dash would not light up or start at all . I call the dealer for there information on this . They told me that the ignition switch was not working. I replaced it with 2 other switches and still same problem . I finally had an associate that works at a dodge dealer come to look at it as a favor. He told me the TIPM module was not working by not allowing power to distribute to the electrical components and also fuel pump. therefore I would have to get the TIPM MODULE replace or repaired . This is not the 1st time he has seen this happen, he has seen lost of complaint on this issue from other owners and repair shops and then told me that I was very lucky that the jeep di not get hit on me injured from it shutting off on the highway. I told him that I would not include his name in my report to you or the dodge dealers , he does not want to get in any trouble or loose his employment and I respect that .

Air bag lights on traction control light on the clock spring is bad dealer won't fix is dispite recalling a haft million jeeps

TIPM failure. Lights, Turn Signals, Fuel Pump, Windshield wiper malfunctions. 89,000 miles on car. Wipers went to constant on. Lights went to off. Turn signals ceased working. This was a know issue for Chrysler. The TIPM was recalled on other Jeep and Chrysler models.

While travelling country road (divided highway) cruising at approximately 65 mph (cruise control engaged) the message indicator went "ding" and the check engine light began flashing. I turned on flashers, slowed down and found a commercial driveway into which I could exit and stop off roadway. After turning off ignition I immediately raised the hood and found active fire (flames) to the rear of the intake manifold and forward of the firewall where the wiring harness is located. I instructed my passenger to immediately exit the vehicle. I had bottles of drinking water with us (hot day in Texas) so I took three or four bottles of water and extinguished the flames from both sides of the upper engine. The flames were immediately extinguished indicating no presence of petroleum products fueling the flames. After ensuring that fire was fully extinguished I called a local towing service to come pick us up and drop the Jeep at a local NAPA repair shop. Shop located and ordered a new wiring harness as opposed to trying to repair existing harness. May file a claim with Auto Insurance after repairs are made.

UNKNOWN but suspected deterioration of steering column clock spring. Radio controls and horn stopped working, then the cruise control stopped working.

JEEP WAS TOWED TO SHOP DUE TO STARTER RANDOMLY CATCHING ON FIRE. ASKED MECHANICS TO CHECK THE ROAD WALK. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE BUT JEEP BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE DROVE MANY KEEPS AND THIS ISN'T NORMAL AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE HEATED SEATS. THEY TURN ON FOR 3-4 SECONDS AND SHUT BACK OFF.

FIRST MY HORN STOPPED WORKING THEN THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL QUIT WORKING THEN THE RADIO STARTED GETTING ALL STATIC BUT AT FIRST WHEN RADIO STARTED BEING STATIC THE CD PLAYER STILL WORKED AND THEN THE CD PLAYER WOULD PLAY INTERMITTENLY AND NOT A SOUND IN RADIO MODE NOW NOW CD , NO RADIO, NO STEERING WHEEL BUTTON AND NO HORN. THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON IF THE BUTTON IS PRESSED BUT THAT IS IT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A WORKING HORN SAFETY!!! I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING GOING OUT AND CAUSING ALL THESE ISSUES AND CAUSEING THE AMPLIFIER TO FAIL AND THE STEREO MALFUNCTION AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. COSTING A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO THEY (MOPAR/JEEP) HAVE HAD THIS JEEP CLOCK SPRING RECALL ISSUE FOR A WHILE NOW... WE HAVE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE NOW UNDER THE RECALL AND IT IS STILL DOING THE EXACT SAME THING... SO THE RECALL FIX WAS NOTHING BUT A SHAM... IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I AM NOT FIXING IT FOR A THIRD TIME WHEN THE SOLUTION THEY CAME UP WITH FOR THE RECALL IS NOT A SOLUTION IT JUST MASKS THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE... SO NOW ONCE AGAIN THE CLOCK SPRING IS OUT IN IT AND I AM AT MY WITS END WITH IT!

AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SIDE MIRROR/BACK DEFROSTER RECALL, MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WORK WAS COMPLETED, THE REAR DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION & THEY CANNOT FIX IT. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE REAR WINDOW IS FOGGED UP, THERE IS ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND CANNOT SEE WHAT'S BEHIND ME! IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP VEHICLES AND IT WAS WORKING FINE BEFORE MY RECALL REPAIRS. A JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SIDE MIRRORS WORKED BETTER BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIRS AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL - BOUGHT MY VEHICLE, NO LIGHT WAS EVER ON. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE TILL PRESENT - AIRBAGS LIGHT COMES ON WITH DINGS, STAYS ON. ELECTRICAL IS FAILING, CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. CRUISE AND TRAC CONTROL KICK ON AND OFF WHENEVER THEY WANT TO, THAT HAS BEEN SCARY (MOVING ALL 4 TIMES, 4 ON INTERSTATE, 1 AS I WAS TURNING A SHARP TURN AFTER I HAD SLOWED). IN THE DATE SLOT BELOW, I WILL PUT THE 1ST KNOWN TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, AS THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL.

TAKATA RECALL, FOR MY LOCATION HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL EMPLOYEES IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED AS WELL AS TO SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY ONE PERSON FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE ON HER COMPUTER AND FOUND THE RECALLED AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, ATTEMPTED REPAIRS THAT FAILED TO BE REPAIRED, MY SERVICE TEAM MANAGER LYING TO MY FACE AFTER BEING PRESENTED WITH NHTSA DOCUMENTATION PROVING MY CLAIMS, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE RECALLED PARTS, SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IN REPORT, RECALLED PROBLEM REPAIRED WHEN IT HAS NOT BEEN OR CLAIMING UNABLE TO REPRODUCE CLAIMED RECALLED PROBLEM. FOR YEARS UNTIL THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED SERVICE MECHANICAL WARRANTY AS WELL AS THE EXTENDED INTERNAL WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH OUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS I AM HAVING TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH SEVERAL HIGHLY DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUES SOME RECALLED BY MANUFACTURER OTHERS THEY'VE IGNORED AS WELL AS IGNORING ME THE OWNER. THESE ISSUES CONTINUE TO THIS DAY! THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND COMPUTER,WHILE DRIVING ON U.S. I-95 HEADING WEST IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE WENT DEAD SURROUNDED BY VEHICLES GOING WELL ABOVE THE 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT. SOME HOW I MANAGED TO MANOUVER IT THRE LANES OVER TO THE NON-EXHISTING PULL OVER LANE AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. THERE WAS NO POWER. I CALLED 911, WHO HUNG UP ON ME, AS DID THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT OF PRINCINCT 3, ONLY THE ARRIVAL OF THE TOW TRUCK AND DRIVER WHO MANAGED TO SET REFLECTIVE WARNING TRIANGLES FAR BEHIND MY VEHICLE AND REPIDLY ASSISTING ME TO EXIT MY VEHICLE WITHOUT INJURY OR DEATH. THEN PROCEEDED TO TOW MY VTTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP. THE SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS WITH A HEATING ELEMENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM DRY AND CLEAR IN ALL WEATHER WERE CLAIMED FIXED. MORE

CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACEMENT ON THE JEEP. THE VEHICLE HAS 43000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN LIGHTLY OFF-ROAD. THE WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES ON/OFF WITH A WARNING SOUND. THE ERROR CODE DISPLAYS "AIR BAG SENSOR", BUT MY NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC TELLS ME ITS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

JEEP WRANGLER 2011 STALLED ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY IN SEVERAL OCCATIONS. IT OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ON THE ROAD, THE JEEP WENT OUT COMPLETELY, IT DID NOT BRAKE, IT DID NOT TURN ON, IT DID NOT HONK, I DID NOT RESPOND. SEVERAL TIMES THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION HAPPEN EXACTLY THE SAME AND I ALMOST RISKED MY LIFE. I ALREADY BEEN ON THE EDGE OF CRASHING AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE GRASS OR GREEN AREAS TO NOT KILL MYSELF. MECHANICS DO NOT COME UP WITH THE PROBLEM. IN THE DEALER THERE ARE SEVERAL JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST VISIT TO A PROFESSIONAL AND AUTHORIZE REPAIR CENTER 6/11/18. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT ATTENDS LIFE AND SECURITY.

TAKATA RECALL, THESE AIRBAGS REMAIN IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE RECALL OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY IN MY AREA MAKE MY VEHICLE A CONSTANT DANGER TO MY LIFE AND ALL THOSE ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I MAY DRIVE ON. THEY CONTAIN METAL COMPONENTS THAT KILL. NHTSA IS NOT DOING NEARLY ENOUGH TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO REPLACE SAID AIRBAGS BEFORE, HIGHLY POSSIBLE MULTIPLE DEATHS OCCUR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WATER ACCUMULATING ON THE FLOOR IN 8 TO 12 INCHES ON BOTH FRONT PASSENGER SIDES. NOT A DROP WAS FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO, REPORT OTHER THAN THOSE I HAVE ON A HARD DRIVE FROM SOMEONE MY DEALERSHIP HAD TO CALL IN TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BY THE NAME OF,"THE WATERMAN." WHY ARE THERE NO REPORTS ON FILE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ICONS LIGHTING UP, REPAIR DEPARTMENT CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IN PHOTOS OF THE DASHBOARD AS PROOF AND EVIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MECHANICAL AND BODY OUTSIDE S WELL AS THE ENTIRE INTERIOR.THE CARPET REQUIRES REPLACING REFUSED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THE WATER CAUSED THE CARPETING TO BECOME LOOSE, THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP TO HOLD THE MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE ,CAUSING IT TO PUNCH UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS.THERE IS ALSO A RIP ABOUT AN INCH OR SO BESIDE THE PLASTIC CLIP MEANT TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE. THIS IS A DEADLY DEFECT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER TWICE BEING DEEMED REPAIRED, BOTH SIDE VIEW ELECTRIC HEATED MIRRORS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM CLEAR FROM WATER, THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED RUST AND CORROSION TO ACCUMULATE UNDER THE CARPET WHERE MOST OF THE WIRES AND PARTS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ARE PLACED AND COMPROMISED.THERE ARE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS,VISIBILITY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAUGHN MOTORS (1102 NW MAIN STREET, BUNKIE, LA 71322) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,876.

THE TIPM HAS FAILED NO TRUN SIGNALS AND OR BRAKE LIGHTS

I WAS DRIVING AT UNDER 10 MPH, ON A TEXAS STATE ROAD WHEN THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY WITH SOME TYPE OF ADHESIVE FAILED. THIS DROPPED THE FUEL LINE DIRECTLY ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH MELTED THE FUEL LINE CAUSING A FIRE THAT SPREAD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE ON THE 4 DOOR MODEL WRANGLERS AS THE 2 DOOR WRANGLERS HAVE A PLATE PREVENTING THIS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT ON ALL 4 DOOR MODELS, RANGING FROM 2008 THROUGH AT LEAST 2013. I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER 4 DOOR JEEPS AND SEE THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL ISSUE THERE IS NOTHING THAT PREVENTS THE FUEL LINE FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE.

RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING WIPERS, LIGHTS LOCKS AND HORN WILL OPERATE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPENED WHILE STATIONARY. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY FREQUENT. I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE TIPM BASED ON THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS.

MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE THAT I USE FOR MAIL DELIVERY AND PERSONAL USE. THE ENGINE STALLS SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND/OR DELIVERING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING IS PRECARIOUS. TWICE THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN-TRANSIT THROUGH A CURVE AT 45 MPH. I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT WRESTLING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO DRIFT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. TWO SUCCEEDING CARS, NOT ABLE TO SEE ME IN THE BLIND SPOT OF THE CURVE, SWERVED INTO THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID ME. A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. F ORNATELY AND THANKFULLY, THE ENGINE DID START UP AGAIN BUT NOT WITHOUT A CLOSE CALL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE A RECALL WILL BE CONSIDERED?? ALSO, RANDOMLY THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START OR IT WON'T CRANK AT ALL, RENDERING THE KEY FOB USELESS FOR LOCKING THE DOORS-EXCRUCIATINGLY FRUSTRATING & A SECURITY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF MAIL/PACKAGES. I HAVE BEEN TO 2 MECHANICS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT MAKE A DIAGNOSIS AND THE OTHER THOUGHT THE PROBLEM TO BE THE STARTER, WHICH WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. MY RESEARCH HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT I MIGHT HAVE A FAULTY TIPM. I WILL HAVE A MECHANIC INVESTIGATE THIS POSSIBILITY FURTHER. SHOULD THE TIPM BE THE CULPRIT, A RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED FOR DESPERATE RECONSIDERATION AND FOR SAFETY'S SAKE!!!!!!

THIS JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FOR THE HEATED MIRROR FOR POSSIBLE FIRE. THE AUTONATION DEALER IN GOLDEN COLORADO SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND JEEP RECALL DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY DO. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO FIX RECALL ITEMS DO TO THE PROFITABILITY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. JEEP RECALL IS SAYING THAT ISN'T THE CASE. THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALERS NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HAZARDOUS RISK BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW AND JEEP SHOULD BE MORE COOPERATIVE.

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATE ON MY DASH. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS. IT TURNS ON/OFF RANDOMLY WETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. ADDITIONALLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OR SO THE FUNCTIONS/BUTTONS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL GO IN/OUT OF FUNCTION. FOR THE MOST PART THEY DON'T WORK 99% OF THE TIME. IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE DRIVING OR ANYTHING DANGEROUS BUT IT IS ANNOYING THAT THESE BUTTONS DON'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME. AS FAR AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT, THIS CONCERNS ME SHOULD THERE BE SOME SORT OF ACCIDENT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY AND THE LIGHT STILL IS ON. I SAW THAT IN JUNE, 2015 AND INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED REGARDING THIS AND WANTED TO PUT IN MY TWO CENTS. I HOPE THAT A SOLUTION IS FOUND FOR THIS.

THE CLOCKSPRING ON MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (LEFT HANDED DRIVE) HAS FAILED CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL AND AIRBAG LIGHT TO ENGAGE. FCA HAS RECALLED RIGHT HANDED DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS 2007-2012 UNDER THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. FCA HAS ALSO RECALLED 2007 LHD JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THESE RECALLS WAS DETERMINED TO BE DUST ACCUMULATION IN THE GREASE OF THE CLOCKSPRING AS SEEN IN THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE CLOCKSPRING PART IN BOTH LHD AND RHD VARIATIONS OF THIS MODEL JEEP WRANGLER INCLUDE A SIMILAR, IF NOT THE SAME, CLOCKSPRING PART. THE AMOUNT OF DUST THAT A JEEP WRANGLER IS SUBJECT TO DOES NOT CORRELATE TO THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCKSPRING. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAT 70,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS OF USE SHOULD NOT HAVE AIRBAG FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE FCA JEEP WARRANTY/RECALL 800 NUMBER IN ADDITION TO THE FCA HEADQUARTER'S 800 NUMBER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE FCA HEADQUARTERS HOTLINE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY LHD 2011 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE REPAIR WAS TO BE MADE FROM OUT OF MY POCKET. AS OF JUNE 2015 THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE FOR LHD JEEP WRANGLERS AS SEEN IN THE LINK BELOW.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER THAT IS EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A CHIME INDICATING SUCH. THIS CHIME OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1 TO 2 MINUTES. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL SUCH AS THE HORN, CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I CONTACTED JEEP (CHRYSLER) ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 24-48 HOURS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS WENT BY AND I HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM JEEP. I CONTACTED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH NOT HAVING A WORKING HORN AND A QUESTIONABLE AIRBAG. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE THAT THEY WERE TO CONCERNED ABOUT. I'VE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG. THIS IS COMING FROM SOME OF THE ACCIDENTS THAT I HAVE EITHER WITNESSED OR WORKED AS AN INVESTIGATING OFFICER. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT SEVERAL EARLIER MODEL (2007-2008) JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP AND THE COMPANY REPLACED THE PART THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE BEFORE.

ON MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 AND NEWER JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT 5-8 MPH WHEN I HEARD A POP TYPE OF NOISE. I THEN SAW A FLAME UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY THROTTLE LOCKED UP AND MY CAR WOULDNT STOP. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, BUT MY TIRES KEPT SPINNING. MY ELECTRICAL WAS LOCKED UP AND I COULDNT GET THE JEEP OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO PARK. MY BOYFRIEND RAN OVER, JUMPED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE TO TRY TO GET THE JEEP INTO PARK, AS I COULDNT GET IT TO MOVE. HE FRACTURED HIS HAND IN TWO PLACES GETTING THE GEARSHIFT TO GO INTO PARK. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE UNDER THE HOOD. HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK. AT THAT POINT HE HELPED PULL ME OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE JEEP AS THE FIRE/FLAMES WERE STARTING TO COME THRU THE DASHBOARD INTO THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP. IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO GET THE FIRE OUT, THEN APPROX. 15-20 MIN LATER THE FIRE STARTED AGAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULDN'T TURN OFF EVEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. I PULLED THE FUSE BUT THEY STILL STAYED ON. I COULD SMELL SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING SO I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. ALSO THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND FRONT CIGARETTE LIGHTER STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE HORRIBLY WHEN ACCELERATING (DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP). THE DEALER SAYS THAT I NEED A NEW TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE (TIPM). THE COST IS WELL OVER $1000 (THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY). WHEN I SEARCHED TIPM PROBLEMS ON-LINE I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT THE ONLY ISSUED A RECALL ON A FEW VEHICLE MODELS AND WRANGLER WASN'T INCLUDED. THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE REMAINING MODELS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER 2010. THERE HAS BEEN SYSTEMIC ELECTRICAL FAILURES THAT ARE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND PUTTING MY SAFETY AT RISK. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND WITH CHRYSLER REGARDING THE PROBLEMS. - I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA. SINCE BEING PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS HAVE FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. EACH PART SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM START WORKING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON (HORN, LIGHTS, WINDOW MASER SWITCH, CAR STEREO, CAR STEREO AMP, DRIVER'S AIRBAG). ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR IT SEEMED LIKE THE JEEP WOULD RESET AND THE PARTS WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. JEEP HAS BEEN REPLACING THESE ITEMS, BUT THEY WOULD NEVER ROOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. - MOST RECENTLY CHRYSLER DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE BOX & ELECTRICAL CLUSTER WERE DEFECTIVE. IT TOOK JEEP 77 DAYS TO REPLACE THE 2 PARTS. THE WORSE PART IS THEY TRIED TO HAVE ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE DURING THOSE 77 DAYS UNTIL THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE PUTTING ME AND ANY VEHICLE AROUND ME AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. - WHILE I HOPE THIS IS THE END OF MY PROBLEMS.. I THINK THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE JEEP CHRYSLER'S ELECTRICAL CLUSTER AND COMPONENTS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE WORTHY OF BEING IN VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. *TR

WAS ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. IMMEDIATELY MANEUVERED THE JEEP OFF OF THE INTERSTATE WHERE I SAT IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER FOR A HALF HOUR BEFORE IT WOULD START BACK. TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN A RAIN STORM AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONCE AGAIN, WE HAD TO CAREFULLY GET OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND TRY TO GET THEM WORKING, WHICH WE FAILED TO DO. HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE STORM PASSED BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND BEGAN DRIVING THE JEEP ON A DAILY BASIS WITH A COMPUTER HOOKED TO IT IN HOPES TO CATCH A CODE. ONCE AGAIN, THE JEEP SHUT OFF ALL POWER AND THREW A CODE FOR THE TIPM MODULE. SINCE THEN, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE JEEP LOOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS OFF ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKING OFF AND ON. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP AND HAD IT FOR ONLY 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. WE'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM, SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND RECEIVED THE RUN AROUND BY ALL OF THEM. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIPM MODULES WERE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL, BUT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN IT CAME IN. THAT WAS 8 MONTHS AGO AND STILL WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CALL. I'M ALWAYS NERVOUS WHEN I DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A WRECK BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET OFF OF THE INTERSTATE NOR CAN YOU STEER EASILY. I REALLY WISH CHRYSLER WOULD OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE! *TR

JUNE 23RD, AFTER BEGINNING TO MOVE AFTER TRAFFIC WAS THINING OUT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. AFTER CHECKING FLUIDS AND TEMP LEVELS (ELECTRICAL GAUGES STILL WORKED), I COULD ONLY ASSUME THIS WAS A SENSOR ISSUE. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) HAD WENT BAD, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART IS CODED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VEHICLE (USED ONES CANNOT WORK). I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART COULD TAKE UP TO A MONTH TO REPLACE BECAUSE CHRYSLER WAS NOT RELEASING THEM DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THEM.

USING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (RIGHT HAND DRIVE), I DELIVER MAIL FOR THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE. WAS DELIVERING MAIL ON MY RURAL ROUTE. DATE WAS 4TH OF FEB.2014. THE PROBLEM WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS , MANY OTHER WIRES, COMPARTMENT PLASTICS ,AND GAS LINE. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE HOT OIL FROM THE TRANSMISSION DIPPING ONTO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . I ONLY SEE THAT THE FILL TUBE ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE LEAK. I HEARD A FIRE IGNITE , OPEN THE CAR HOOD AND SEEN THE BLACK SMOKE I THEN PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT IS NOW THE DATE-MARCH 18 ,2014. I HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION FOR REPAIR OF MY PROBLEM. THEIR INVESTIGATION STATED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT FOUND NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT ON 2-3-2014. I HAVE NOW TURNED THIS OVER TO MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY . THEY SAY I SHOULD USE THE LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR A BAD TRANSMISSION IN NOV. OF 2013. I DO NOT SEE WHY I SHOULD OF HAD MORE PROBLEMS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY COST TO REPAIR IS $5000. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER FOR THE JEEP ,A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST ME PERSONALLY $5000. THANK YOU. *TR

I STARTED MY JEEP THIS MORNING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE FACTORY REMOTE START, 10 MIN LATER I WALKED OUT OF MY HOUSE AND SAW FLAMES AND SMOKE COMING FROM MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. A CAR DRIVING BY HAD STOPPED AND CALLED 911. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR RAN OVER WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE FIRE IN CONTROL BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND MELTED, THE WINDOW IS GONE. THE ROOF, SEAT AND SURROUNDING AREA ARE ALSO DAMAGED. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED SOMEWHERE IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I CALLED JEEP TWICE TODAY THINKING THEY WOULD BE CONCERNED AND RESPONSIVE, BUT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 2-5 DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT AND INSPECT THE CAR. IN THE MEANTIME I WAIT CARLESS...THANK GOODNESS MY 2 CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED.

FOR SOME TIME THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL STARTING PROBLEM, WHICH RESULTS IN A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. MOST TIMES THE VEHICLE STARTS PROPERLY. AT TIMES, HOWEVER, WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND TURNED, NOTHING HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE CAN THEN BE STARTED USING THE REMOTE START AND THEN OPERATED BY QUICKLY INSERTING THE KEY AND TURNING IT. AT TIMES NEITHER THE KEY NOR THE REMOTE START WILL WORK. TYPICALLY, BY ALTERNATING BETWEEN ATTEMPTS TO USE THE KEY AND REMOTE START, THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED WITHIN 15 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO KOONS TYSONS CHRYSLER IN VIRGINIA FOR SERVICE. HOWEVER, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED WITH A 'SOFTWARE UPGRADE' TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT WAS AGAIN TAKEN THIS WEEK TO KOONS TYSONS CHRYSLER TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE CENTER SAYS IT CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON ITS LOT AND THEREFORE WON'T DO ANYTHING MORE. IT SAYS IT COMPLETELY BELIEVES THERE IS AN ISSUE, BUT WANTS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE, WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN, AND THEN HAVE IT TOWED TO ITS SERVICE CENTER FOR APPRAISAL. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT A PRACTICAL SOLUTION. IT COULD PRESENT A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF HAVING MY WIFE STUCK WHO KNOWS WHERE (A DARK PARKING LOT, RAILROAD CROSSING, ETC.) WITH A VEHICLE THAT WON'T START. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR A VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP TO THE PLATE, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, AND FIX THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M DRIVING A RENTAL CAR AT MY EXPENSE AS CHRYSLER WILL NEITHER PAY THE RENTAL BILL NOR FIX ITS VEHICLE. *TR

POTENTIALLY A ROOT CAUSE OF THE RASH OF FIRES IN JEEP WRANGLERS THAT ARE SITTING PARKED: FAILURE OF THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IN DEC 2011, MY DAUGHTER DROVE HER NEW (3000 MILES) 2011 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED TO CHURCH, PARKED IT, TURNED OFF THE KEY, TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOCKED THE DOOR, AND WENT INTO THE CHURCH BUILDING - NEVER REALIZING THAT MOTOR WAS ACTUALLY STILL RUNNING!! (THEY'RE VERY QUIET WHEN IDLING AND SHE WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND.) ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES LATER, A MAN CAME RUNNING INTO CHURCH THAT KNOWS OF HER VEHICLE AND SAID "YOUR JEEP IS RUNNING, THERE'S SMOKE OR STEAM COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE DOOR IS LOCKED, AND I CAN'T GET IN TO TURN IT OFF! MY DAUGHTER CHECKED AND SHE INDEED HAD THE IGNITION KEY IN HER HAND. SHE RAN OUT OF CHURCH AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR, PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BUT IT WOULD NOT KILL THE ENGINE! WE HAD TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH IN A HIGH GEAR ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO KILL IT. RADIATOR COOLANT ALL OVER THE GROUND. WE FOUND THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS JUST ABOUT ALL BOILED OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE TIPM WAS ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN THOUGH THE IGNITION WAS OFF AND KEY REMOVED - BUT THE TIPM DID SHUT OFF THE ELECTRICALLY OPERATED COOLING FAN IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR. THERE WAS ELECTRICAL POWER GOING TO THE MOTOR IGNITION SO THAT THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN - BUT W/O A FAN. THE COOLANT BOILED OUT OF THE ENGINE AND HAD OUR FRIEND NOT INTERVENED OUR MOTOR DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BOILED ITSELF DRY AND CONTINUED TO RUN UNTIL IT EITHER SEIZED UP DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT AND/OR IGNITED A FIRE DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT (POTENTIALLY BY IGNITING THE FUEL WITHIN THE FUEL SYSTEM?? ELECTRICAL WIRE INSULATION CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE?? BATTERY BOILING AND FIRE??). AS YOU'RE AWARE, THERE ARE SEVERAL POTENTIAL SECONDARY SOURCES FOR FIRE IGNITION UNDER THE VEHICLE HOOD. *TR
