AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS CHIMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING! BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE AIRBAG IS NOT MAKING CONNECTION DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING! CHRYSLER ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR "CERTAIN MODEL YEARS" OF COURSE 2008 WASN'T COVERED! THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT CONSIDERING IT'S BEEN A PROBABLY RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY! I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS CHRYSLER! THE PEOPLE SUPPORT YOU NOW IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT US BACK!

I TOOK IT TO JEEP BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AND THEY WANTED $1000 FOR IT TO BE FIXED. NO I FIND OUT ITS HAPPENING TO ALL JEEPS. THEY STILL WON'T GO GOOD FOR IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER YEAR JEEPS BY STILL NO RECALL. IT'S A DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFO ON MY JEEP.

CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND BEEPING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP, WAS ADVISED CLOCKSPRING (IN STEERING COLUMN) WAS FAULTY WITH SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR ALL REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH JEEP HAS A CURRENT RECALL ON THIS ISSUE (S33 CLOCKSPRING) FOR SAME MODEL YEAR AND OTHERS. NO RESOLUTION WHEN SPEAKING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WHO CLAIMED MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCKSPRING AND ORDERED THE PART, IT HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED BECAUSE IT WAS ON SPECIAL BACK ORDER AND I WAS TOLD I WAS 503 ON THE WAITING LIST! IT IS APPARENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS I'M TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE IT OR THE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS OVER $530.

I HAVE A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING. THERE IS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS: S33. NHTSA CAMPAIGN #: 16V290000. THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS EFFECTING THE AIRBAGS, STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT BEING COVERED BY THE RECALL.

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.
