2014 JEEP WRANGLER — Complaint #1558381
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING filed April 16, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558381 (ODI reference 11196704) concerns a 2014 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on April 16, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 15, 2019. The report was geocoded to Colorado based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP WRANGLER cohort independently describe similar steering failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN MY CAR. THIS IS A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A DEFECT AS PREVIOUS MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. HORN DOESN'T WORK. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. BUTTONS DO NOT WORK. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO NOT WORK.
