AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND CHIMES. LIGHT GOES OUT DURING TURNS, BUT RE-ILLUMINATES ONCE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHTENED BACK OUT. PROBLEM IS CHRONIC. I UNDERSTAND JEEP HAS A RECALL ON 2007 JEEPS FOR SAME ISSUE AND RHD VERSIONS FOR LATER YEARS.

THIS COMPLAINT REFERS TO THE EXISTING AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING FAILURE BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER EA 15-007 AND PREVIOUSLY PE 15-025. IT IS ALSO CLOSELY RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL 11V258 WHICH INVOLVES THE SAME PART FAILURE. LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF MY 2007-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS THE CLOCKSPRING UNIT IN MY VEHICLE HAS INDICATED IT HAS FAILED WITH THE ABS ERROR CODE B1B02 - "DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN". THE ISSUE HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND HAS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 55,000 MILES AND DURING MY OWNERSHIP IT HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED TO EXTRANEOUS ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED OF MY ISSUE (CASE # 29226734) BUT DID NOT PROVIDE OR OFFER REMEDY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE CLOCKSRPING MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE WHILE GOING AROUND A TURN ON MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND A SMALL RIBBON CAME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS ALSO DISABLED MY HORN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE ASKED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE. I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THERE IN FACT WAS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HANDED VEHICLES FOR 2008 BUT NOT LEFT HANDED DRIVE VEHICLES AS WELL AS 2007 JEEPS HAD THE RECALL. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS CAN ALSO BE RECALLED IN 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES AS IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD GO BAD UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS LEFT IN THE RAIN DUST OR DIRTY ENVIRONMENTS, WHICH IS NOT HOW MY JEEP IS EVER STORED. I AM HAPPY THAT I WAS ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY!

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.

CALLED JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID TO COME IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AS THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATED A FAULT IN AIR BAG SYSTEM. TOOK TO DEALERS AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE CLOCK-SPRING WIRING HARNESS TO CURE PROBLEM. NOT IN WARRENTY PERIOD AND WHEN CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT COST AS IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I THEREFORE HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID TO KEEP INVOICE AS IT MAY LATER BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT SHOULD BE AS I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION.

Air bags, Jan 5, 2016
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY TURNS ON AND OFF IN MY JEEP. THIS IS ACCOMPANIED WITH A CONTINUOUS WARNING PING THAT GOES OFF WHEN YOU ARE ALMOST OUT OF GAS OR NEED SOMETHING CHECKED ASAP. THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. 2007 JEEPS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS AND IT IS A FAULTY COIL SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOKING ON ANY FORUM SITE OR EVEN THIS ONE AND YOU WILL SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. JEEP TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED UNTIL A RECALL IS ISSUED. CONSIDERING MY JEEP AND MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS OCCUR WELL BEFORE 100K MILES THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART THAT THEY ARE PUTTING INTO THE CARS.
