AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THE WRANGLER SINCE RECALL WAS DONE ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND 2008 RHD JEEP WRANGLER. *TR

THE ESP, BAS, ABS, AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ALL ON. WHEN YOU START DRIVING THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE AND IT HESITATES TO GO. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT STARTS TO CLUNK AND IT IS HARD TO STEER. AT TIMES IT IS LIKE YOU ARE DRAGGING THE REAR END. AND AT TIMES IT EVEN FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRAGGING THE REAR END SIDEWAYS.

AIR BAG INDICATOR AND CHIME GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 - 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. MEANING I DO NOT HAVE RELIABLE AIRBAG PROTECTION DUE TO A FAULTY PART. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL RHD WRANGLERS IN THESE YEARS, BUT DID NOTHING FOR THE DRIVERS OF THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VERSIONS. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON SO I PULLED OVER. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING BUT I TRAVELED OVER 1000 MILES WITH IT DINGING EVERY LITTLE WHILE. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE LIGHT WAS STILL COMING ON AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SPRING AND WOULD COST 400.00 TO 500.00 TO FIX. I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. BUT NOT ONLY THAT I ALSO HAD TO GET THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED, BOTH UPPER AND LOWER WHICH COST OVER 1000.00. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT JEEP DOES NOT PUT GREASE FITTINGS ON THEM SO THAT THEY EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THIS COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE RESOLVED BY THE COMPANY BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT OR WORSE KILLED. I LOVE MY JEEP BUT ALL THESE ISSUES ARE REALLY DISTURBING. ONE OTHER ISSUE I NOTICED IS I AM ALWAYS HAVING TO CHECK THE OIL WHICH IS USUALLY LOW. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS BUT I KNOW OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. *TR

THIS IS KIND OF STUPID FOR THIS NEW OF VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE CAN GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED SINCE ONLY THE 2007 JKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A CHIME. NOW THE LIGHT AND CHIME HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY JEEP. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING AT A COST OF OVER $400.00. THIS PART IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. MEANWHILE, THE RHD AND 2007 WRANGLERS HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE. WELL, I LIVE IN A DUSTY PART OF THE COUNTRY AND IN THE SUMMER DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW DOWN A LOT, JUST AS THE MAIL CARRIERS WITH THE RHD JEEPS DO. I ACTUALLY PURCHASED MY JEEP IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. IT IS A 2008 MY BUT WAS MADE IN 2007, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THOSE 2007 LHD JEEPS THAT RECEIVED THE RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS RECALL WAS NOT EXPANDED TO COVER ALL WRANGLERS THAT IT AFFECTS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY WHEN THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT. THEY COULD NOT DEPLOY WHEN NECESSARY AND/OR DEPLOY WHEN NOT NECESSARY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO HAVE THIS CONDITION IN MY VEHICLE PUTTING ANY PASSENGERS AT RISK. I WILL BE HAVING IT REPLACED EITHER WAY, AGAIN. *TR
