What owners wrote
I was driving down the road on the way home I went around the corner and hit my brakes they were there then they faded away causing me to hit a pole. I had the jeep taken to my home and waited until I got enough money to have it worked on once the mechanic started working on it they noticed a brake line problem and told me that was what caused the accident and it was a recall and this should be taken to a dealer which I did and they refused any responsibility. * (recall related incident) ts
The warning light for the brake assist, airbag & stability control light up. Took it to the shop and was told that the clock spring was faulty that is why the lights come on. The cost to repair the clock spring is over $800.00. All it does is make it so the warning lights turn off, so I have chosen not to repair it. This is a common problem with the jk wranglers. The problem is if there really is an issue then I won't know because the light is always on. I feel that jeep should repair this as a recall.
