    Risk

    These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

    Remedy

    Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S43. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-7700.

    Vehicle Information: Make: Jeep Model: Wrangler Model Year: 2007 VIN: [XXX] Safety Recall Information: NHTSA Campaign ID: 16V-290 Manufacturer Recall Number: S33 Component: Airbag / Clock Spring This recall was previously performed by a dealership in February 2021; however, the vehicle is now experiencing the same symptoms the recall was intended to address, indicating the safety defect has reoccurred or was not permanently remedied. The vehicle is currently experiencing: Illuminated airbag (SRS) warning light Horn failure Traction control / electronic stability program warning light Erratic or abnormal A/C behavior that coincides with the SRS/steering wheel electrical faults These failures are consistent with a defective clock spring and directly impact the Supplemental Restraint System and other active safety systems. I contacted an authorized Jeep dealership to request inspection and repair of this recurring safety defect. The dealership confirmed the recall had been previously completed but refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle, stating in writing: “Due to company policy, we are unable to perform diagnostic or repair services on vehicles that are more than 10 years old.” They further stated that because the recall was marked as completed in 2021, they would not assist further and recommended I seek an independent repair facility. I believe this refusal violates the intent and requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. §§ 30118–30120), which requires manufacturers to remedy safety defects and does not allow age-based or policy-based refusal when a safety defect exists or reoccurs. This defect involves the airbag system and active safety features and presents an ongoing risk to vehicle occupants. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in reviewing this matter and ensuring that the manufacturer and/or authorized dealer fulfills their obligation to properly remedy this safety defect.

      In 2022, I paid over $15,000 to an official Jeep dealership (Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM City, Greenwich CT) to replace the engine in my Jeep Wrangler. Without clear disclosure or consent, they installed a non-OEM Jasper remanufactured engine. The invoice misleadingly stated “ALL PARTS ARE NEW UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,” with no mention of Jasper or warranty terms. The vehicle began malfunctioning almost immediately, raising multiple serious safety concerns, confirmed by written service exchanges: •“The Jeep is stopping alone! Just crazy, brakes come on alone” — Spontaneous brake engagement poses a serious crash risk. •“It also smells strong gas when turning the car on” — Potential fuel leak or misfire, which is a fire hazard. •“The Jeep is malfunctioning,” “check engine light came back on,” “needs a PCM”, followed by: “I’m not sure this is a computer problem, but the motor you folks placed in the car.” — ️ Suggests deeper integration issues between the engine and vehicle electronics. After only ~8,000 miles, the engine failed again. I spent thousands more with an independent mechanic, who found that several parts supposedly replaced in 2022 were already failing again (spark plugs, oil cooler, manifold gaskets, thermostat). This points to reused components, poor-quality parts, or improper installation. Stellantis refuses to assist, claiming their dealership is “independent,” despite operating under Stellantis branding and authorization. A Stellantis rep confirmed they would only file an internal complaint and left me to handle everything alone. This reflects mechanical negligence, brand-level accountability failures, and clear safety threats. I’m requesting NHTSA investigate: •Post-engine replacement safety hazards and quality of work and materials •Dangerous servicing practices at this authorized dealership (if not many or all of them) •Stellantis’ lack of oversight over branded repairs

      Fuel spits out during filling so you have to barely squeeze the pump handle. It takes a long time to just put 20.00 in gas in it sometimes as long as 5 mins. When you live in a cold weather state it becomes an issue when you try to pump it and get splashed with gas because you are trying to get out of the cold. Seems like this would be a health hazard along with a fueling problem.

      Bought my jeep in July. On 6 different occasions now it starts vibrating really bad. I can't get it to stop, can't steer it. I've heard of the death wobble and I'm pretty sure this is what's happening. I have an appointment Tuesday August 24 to put a new stabilizer on it. Has there been a recall on my jeep that wasn't fixed properly. It's a dangerous situation when it happens because I have no control over my vehicle at all. I've been lucky so far that it's happened in places that there were no other vehicles in front of me. There's no way I could stop if there was. I have no way of knowing if the stabilizer will fix the problem.

      I bought my 2007 Jeep Wrangler in November 2020. It had approximately 122,000 miles on it and has the 6 speed manual transmission. After driving it for 7 days, I was backing out of a parking spot and heard a loud squeal and was unable to shift gears. It had to have the clutch replaced along with the flywheel and several other clutch associated parts. The total was $1,600. The salesman at the dealership where I bought it told me as I was buying it that there is no warranty but if something happens in the first couple of weeks that he would work with us. Of course he did NOT help me. He wouldn't even return my phone calls. Whatever, buyer beware! Second issue is of course the fuel spit back problem. Every time I fill up, I end up with gas on the Jeep and on the ground. I love wasting money like that. There is apparently a recall on this issue but your website says my vehicle has no recalls. Third issue is all the door hinges are rusting really bad. I saw that there were several service bulletins on the proper procedures for replacing those hinges. Those should be replaced by the dealer at no cost.

      Incident Jan 1, 2020

    • Power train, electrical systemFiled Feb 17, 2021

      TIMP HAS GONE BAD. CAUSES ALL GAUGES TO QUIT WORKING, STALLS ENGINE DURING OPERATIING, DOOR LOCKS AND SECURITY SYSTEM INOPERABLE, HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN DON'T WORK. LIGHTS COME ON EVEN IF SWITCH IS OFF. WINDOW MOTORS QUIT WORKING. THE WELL KNOWN FAILURE OF THE TIMP IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY ALL JEEP WRANGLER SERIES DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2006, HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED NOR FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS TIMP FAILURE IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FORCED UPON CHRYSLER/DAIMLER/JEEP. MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JKU TIMP QUIT WORKING, WHILST I WAS DRIVING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT OF WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY THROUGH THE DISABLED POWER STEERING TO STOP VEHICLE. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE PLAGUING NEARLY EVERY JEEP WRANGLER PRODUCED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I WONDER IF ANYONE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH OR DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE TIMP. I AM GOING TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND NC AND US ATTORNEY'S GENERAL'S OFFICE AS WELL. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED NOW WITH IMMEDIATE RECALL FORCING CHRYSLER/DAIMLER/JEEP TO FIX THE TIMP.

      WHEN THE JEEP NEEDS REFUELED, IT OVERFLOWS. THE PUMP HANDLE CAN BE MANUALLY OPERATED SO IT CAN PHYSICALLY STOP THE OVERFLOW BUT NOT EVERY TIME. HAPPENS EVERY WEEK USUALLY ON A THURSDAY OR FRIDAY MORNING. 87 OCTANE IS USED AND DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION IS CHOSEN AT THE TIME. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WHEN WE LIVED IN OREGON.

    • Air bagsFiled Jul 31, 2020

      I HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE AIRBAG IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL. EVERY 1-2 MINUTES WHILE DRIVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND DING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MAKES THE VEHICLE INCREDIBLY ANNOYING TO DRIVE. A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE ERROR CODES AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING RECALL AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO BE FIXED. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: S33 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V-290 I WAITED FOR THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AUTONATION ARAPAHOE JEEP IN CENTENNIAL, COLORADO TODAY. THEY SAID IT WILL BE A YEAR AND A HALF OR MORE BEFORE THE PART IS IN STOCK. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL THEN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND I HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR AND A HALF TO GET IT FIXED. SADLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED. ASIDE FROM PAYING $500 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP FIX IT. WHICH IS WHAT THEY QUOTED ME FOR. AND SAID THEY COULD THE PART IN STOCK TO REPAIR IN 2 DAYS.

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jun 27, 2020

      PURCHASED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER IN 2015 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH FUEL SPLASHING FROM GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. FUEL SHOULD STOP ONCE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP WRANGLER (JK) OWNERS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF A RECALL IS IN EFFECT OR HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. BOTTOM LINE I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS INQUIRING ABOUT PART CNNNX321AC, WHICH IS A RECALL PART #, BUT THEY CAN'T SELL IT TO ME. SO, IF I CAN'T BUY THE PART TO FIX AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON THE CAR, IS MY ONLY OPTION AT THIS POINT TO SUE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION? THIS IS A CAR MY DAUGHTER DRIVES AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT JUST SOME SUPERFICIAL ISSUE WITH JEEP. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME SHE GOES TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE JEEP. SMELLING LIKE PETROLEUM AFTER EVERY FILLING OF TANK IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER. *TR

    • Power trainFiled May 17, 2020

      THIS IS A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. FROM STOP INTO FIRST GEAR, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO PARTIAL NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO BINDING APPARENT FROM ANY OF THE DUST BOOTS ON THE SHIFTER LEVER. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE 2009. IT WAS STORED FOR A YEAR AND ONLY DRIVEN MONTHLY FOR SHORT PERIODS. UPON RETURN FROM MY DEPLOYMENT I DROVE THIS VEHICLE AS MY DAILY DRIVER UP TO CURRENT. THE HOTTER THE WEATHER, THE MORE THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE, IT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. IT VIOLENTLY POPS OUT IF FIRST GEAR 1 TO 2 TIMES A WEEK; OCCASIONALLY MORE. IT IS NOW BECOMING MORE APPARENT THAT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE. RECENTLY, WHEN TRYING TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC, IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR AND I WOULD QUICKLY HAVE TO RECOVER AND GET IT BACK INTO GEAR BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF BLOGS AND INTERNET POSTS STATING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE STATED BY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF SIMILAR YEARS AND REFERENCING HAVING TO CHANGE OUT 1 AND 2 GEAR SYNCHROS ACCORDING TO A JEEP BULLETIN. SO, IF JEEP KNOWS IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE, THEN WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? OTHERS WERE LUCKY TO GET REPAIRS FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY, SIMILAR TO ME. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A PREDOMINANT MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, THEN THIS IS CLEARLY A NEED FOR A RECALL FOR THOSE THAT NEED/REQUIRE THE REPAIR. HISTORY WISE, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2009 WITH 15703 MILES ON IT. BY APPROX. FEBRUARY 2011 WHEN I STARTED DRIVING IT DAILY AND AT ABOUT 17000 MILES THE ISSUE STARTED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 89800 MILES ON IT.

      WHILE DRIVING APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT IN TOWN THE WIPERS CAME ON, WINDSHIELD FLUID STARTED SPRAYING, HORN WAS BLARING AND ENGINE STALLED. THE 2ND TIME I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED I COASTED IN A SUBDIVISION STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND THIS TIME WHEN I GOT HOME I COULD REMOVE KEY AND THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE TIPM BECAUSE WHILE THE 'CHRISTINE EFFECT' IS GOING ON I CAN TAP THE TIPM COVER AND IT STOPS.

      MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL IT DID IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH SUBURB STREET AND I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR HELP. THE JEEP OWNERS COMMUNITY NAMED IT THE DEATH WOBBLE BECAUSE IT LITERALLY WOBBLES AND SHAKES WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS, WITHOUT ANYTHING TRIGGERING IT, ON EVERY TYPE OF ROAD, AND AT EVERY SPEED. AFTER IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME, I NO LONGER ALLOWED MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE JEEP AT ALL. WE ALMOST DIED THAT DAY AS IT SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY ALMOST PUTTING US IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE! WE MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY AN 18 WHEELER BY JUST A HAIR. IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING! THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT SAID THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON. HOW IS SUCH A DANGER COMMON??? HOW CAN THESE VEHICLES BE LEGALLY SOLD?? THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ALONE AND I ENDED UP IN A DITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DITCH AND WENT TO NEARBY AUTO SHOP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ENGINE "SLING A ROD" THEY SAID. FOR 3 MONTHS NOW, I HAVE BEEN MAKING PAYMENTS ON A JEEP SITTING DEAD IN AN AUTO SHOP. AS A SINGLE MOM I CAN'T AFFORD SUCH A HUGE REPAIR AND ROUTE 66 WARRANTY COMPANY DECIDED TO CANCEL MY ALREADY PAID FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I FILED THE CLAIM ON IT. THEY DENIED IT AND SAID THEY'RE CANCELING ME. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE HELP!!
