ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE 6/2011 THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND AUDIBLE BELL GOES OFF. HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND ALSO HAD THEM TRY TO DIAGNOSE VIA COMPUTER. THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE CORRECTLY. LIGHT AND BELL ARE STILL ACTIVATING. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS THAT MAKE THIS ALARM GO OFF. *TR

THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE SIMILAR INCIDENTS CONCERNING TWO DIFFERENT JEEPS AND CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. IN THIS INCIDENT THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS CAUSED FROM A BIG JARRING. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT THEY SAID DUST. THE THIRD ONE, IN A SEPARATE 2008 WRANGER I REPLACED MYSELF. THEY CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $150 FOR LESS THEN A MINUTE OF DIAGNOSTIC AND APPROXIMATELY $250 FOR A PART THAT COSTS LESS THEN $180. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLEECING OF THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF YOUR AGENCY. THERE IS A WAY TO DISABLE THE THE AIRBAG SOUND AND BECAUSE OF THESE COSTS IT COULD/WILL LEAD TO A DEATH FROM FAILURE.
Air bags, Aug 18, 2011
THIS IS MY THIRD CLOCKSPRING IN JUST OVER TWO YEARS. I RUN A JEEP TOUR COMPANY WITH TWO JEEPS, TWO BEING THE 4 DOOR UNLIMITED. JUST AFTER REPLACING THE SECOND ONE IN JUST UNDER TWO YEARS ON THE 07 JEEP THIS ONE WENT OUT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OR LESS WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS ILLUMINATED. BASED ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE 07 I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND DISCOVERED THIS CLOCKSPRING HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE AS THE PRIOR TWO. I REPLACED THIS CLOCKSPRING MYSELF TO SAVE ON COSTS AS THE TWO PRIOR REPLACEMENTS COST OVER $400 EACH TIME. I HAVE SAVED TWO OF THESE CLOCKSPRINGS IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION.

THE CHRYSLER CLOCK SPRINGS ARE FAILING ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS ALONE. THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS PART AT ANY COST. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS ITEM ASAP.

I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO. *TR

UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CONSTANTLY LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO START HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ONE DAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH, I ALSO BELIEVE WILL PREVENT THE DRIVER AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AS OF YET, TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SEEING THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ON MARCH 3, 2009, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, IT WOULD DING AT ME AND GO OFF AND THEN ON. WHEN I'M DROVE NORMALLY, AND USUALLY STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON WITH NO DING. THROUGH RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WAS FAULTY AND MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS FIXED THROUGH CHRYSLER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. NOW, ON JAN. 15, 2011 WITH 103,769 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUSLY. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, AGAIN, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I HAD TO PAY BOTH TIMES. IF I DIDN'T GET THIS FIXED, AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
