TAKATA RECALL: JEEP BUILT JAN. 24, 2008, AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR - HORN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPOTTY BUT ALWAYS LUCKY AT INSPECTION UNTIL RECENTLY. SO, AIRBAG LIGHT DINGING/ON AND NOW HORN NOT WORKING DUE TO CLOCKSPRING. RECALL RESEARCH SHOWED TO BE ELIGIBLE ITEM BUT DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER RECALL 800 # FOLKS SAID THIS JEEP DIDN'T QUALIFY. DAMAGE WILL BE GETTING CLOCKSPRING REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP FOR MORE THAN $500.
Air bags, Dec 21, 2015
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STARTED DISPLAYING ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG. THE DASH IS INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYING A AIRBAG LIGHT. THIS CONTINUALLY TURNS ON AND OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED SOLUTIONS FOR THIS AND LEARNED THAT JEEP WRANGLER 2007 HAS RECALLED THIS SPECIFIC PART BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING SUBSEQUENT YEARS. I FEAR THAT THIS MAY POSE A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS A DIRECT ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. IT WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF. IT MAKES A CHIMING SOUND. IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP OR TURN THE WHEEL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. SHOULD THIS NOT BE A SAFETY THING THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE? I READ THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED CERTAIN ONES EVEN ONES IN MY YEAR...BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM! I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WOULD NEED MY AIRBAGS THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I HAVE READ THIS IS A RESULT OF THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPAIR AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.

ON A 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. THE VEHICLE ALSO NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING SPEED CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007-2012 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. THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE A SAFELY CONCERN DUE TO A POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. I AM A LHD 2008 WRANGLER AND AS I HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE INTERNET THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE LHD 2008 WRANGLERS WHEN THERE IS FOR THE RHD AND 2007 LHD WRANGLERS. THE SAME CLOCK SPRINGS ARE USED IN ALL THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE FAULTY ACROSS THE BOARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE IN MY MODEL YR AND LHD. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM SITTING, DRIVE OR WHATEVER THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AS SOON AS I START THE ENGINE AND MY CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SLOW TO RESPOND AND THE SLIPPERY ROAD WARNING LIGHT FLASHED WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 10V236000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND 08V202000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. . THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. LIGHT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, GOES OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN REPEATS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT DRIVING. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME CLOCKSPRING FAILURE THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR RHD VEHICLES, AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS PART FOR PREVIOUS YEAR (2007) LHD VEHICLES. SINCE THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO FAIL, I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL WRANGLERS WITH THIS CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY, NOT JUST RHD.

DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING. 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 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 ON 2008 LHD OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING. (THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PART & # AS THOSE RECALLED FROM YOUR INVESTIGATION #PE11019.) PLEASE HELP US...MANY MANY REPORTING SAME ISSUE

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY GOES ON AND OFF WITH CHIME WHILE DRIVING. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY ODI AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS AFFECTS THE DRIVER SIDE ON LHD MODELS. POSSIBLE CLOCKSPRING WIRING ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT JUST A ROUTINE "WEAR AND TEAR" PROBLEM. CHRYSLER FIAT NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. FROM WHAT I'VE REVIEWED THIS IS A BAD CLOCK SPRING.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT (FLASHED ON AND OFF) THAT INDICATED A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING WIRING IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG CIRCUIT. CODE B1B06 SET FOR DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB CIRCUIT 2 OPEN AN INTERNAL SHORT INSIDE OF THE CLOCKSPRING WAS FOUND. REPLACED CLOCKSPRING MODULE.
Air bags, Aug 11, 2015
THE AIRBAG ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY (IT MIGHT BE 5-10 SECONDS, OR SEVERAL MINUTES BETWEEN). AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS IS OFTEN CAUSED BY THE CLOCK SPRING, WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. BASED ON JEEP FORUMS, MANY DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MAY AFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.
Air bags, Aug 9, 2015
WHILE DRIVING, THE WARNING CHIME SOUNDS AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THEN IT GOES OFF. THEN IT COMES ON AGAIN. IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER.
