ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. AIR BAG ALARM SOUNDS WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ON TIGHT CORNERS. OBD II FAULT CODE B1BO2 CLOCKSPRING. THUS, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, AS IT IS FOR THE PRIOR YEAR AND SAME YEAR WITH STEERING WHEEL ON THE RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
Air bags, Mar 28, 2013
WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON,NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE TO WARRANT THIS COMING ON. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEED A NEW CLOCKSPRING. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PART I FOUND THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON 2007 WRANGLERS AND RHD WRANGLERS, HOWEVER MINE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET DESPITE SEVERAL PEOPLE ONLINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART WITH NO CHARGE. *TR
Electrical system, Air bags, Mar 13, 2013
THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF, INDICATING THAT THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS A SIMPLE PART - THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING THAT CONNECTS THE AIRBAG TO THE CONTROL MODULE. IF THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS BEFORE OR DURING A CRASH, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED OR COVERED BY JEEP! *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. MECHANIC SAYS THE CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT I KNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A COLLISION. *TR

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE IN MY 2008 LHD JEEP WRANGLER HAS CAUSED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO RANDOMLY TURN ON, MY TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS TO ONLY FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, AND MY GAUGE CLUSTER FLICKERS WHEN ANY OF THE ABOVE TRIGGER. *TR

Air bags, Feb 13, 2013
MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS AT RANDOM. DEALER TOLD ME THE CLOCK SPRING WAS LIKELY FAULTY AND WANTED NEARLY $1,000 TO FIX IT. I READ ONLINE FORUMS WHERE THE RIGHT-HAND DRIVE JEEPS HAD A RECALL ON THE CLOCK SPRING FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. ALSO READ MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THE ISSUE IS PREVALENT ON LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. I REMOVED MY CLOCK SPRING AND TESTED IT AND FOUND ONE CIRCUIT WAS SHORTING OUT DUE TO WEAR ON THE RIBBON WIRE WHERE THE RIBBON CONTACTS THE PLASTIC HOUSING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING DESIGN AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT MAY PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN A CRASH AND THE ONLY REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OPTION IS TO PUT A NEW CLOCK SPRING BACK IN THAT HAS THE SAME DESIGN FLAW AS THE ORIGINAL. I REPLACED MY CLOCK SPRING WITH A NEW OEM UNIT BUT BASED ON THE HISTORICAL DATA, THE REPLACEMENT CLOCK SPRING IS NOT LIKELY TO LAST OR BE RELIABLE. *TR
