Consumer Description
SEPTEMBER OF 2014 LAST YEAR I NOTICED THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COME ON. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER DEALER AND LEFT A FEW MESSAGES ABOUT RECALLS AND IF THIS MEANT A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAGS. NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT OFF AND IT WOULD STAY OFF FOR WEEKS AND MYSTERIOUSLY COME ON PERIODICALLY. SO AFTER A FEW MONTHS GO BY IN DECEMBER OF 2014 I WAS AT A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN WHEN WE PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AMD THW HORN, LIGHTS, WIPERS AND DASH LIT UP. I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE NEG BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT TWO OR THREE TIMES AND IT STOPPPED. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND DISCONMECTED THE HORN AMP VIA FUSEBOX. JUMPSTART TO FEB 2015 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE HORN BLARES AND WIPERS GO OFF BUT THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND I GLIDED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHILE OTHER CARS AVOIDED ME. 5/27/2015 MY WIFE OPENED THE JEEP DOOR AND IT TRIGGERED THE WIPERS, DASH LIGHTS AND WIPER FLUID TO SPRAY. WHEN YOU'RE ON A FIXED INCOME BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS IS NOT ALWAYS FEASABLE. I TOOK THE JEEP TO AUTOZONE FREE DIAGNOSTIC AND GOT A CODE U0141. AFTER READING THE SIMILAR STORIES WE'RE GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.
