THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE SPRING. THE AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE DURING AN ACCIDENT.
Suspension, Air bags, Jul 27, 2015
RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY JK JEEP WRANGLER (2008) BEGAN ILLUMINATING. I DID SOME INVESTIGATION PRIOR TO SERVICING IT AT THE DEALER AND DETERMINED IT WAS LIKELY THE CLOCKWORK SPRING SINCE THERE WERE SOME MANY REPORTS OF FAILURE. IN ADDITION, MY ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT SYSTEM WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE AFTER A CAMPING TRIP. I DROVE DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS AND ON A STRETCH OF 75 MPH INTERSTATE WITHOUT A SWAY AND AN AIR BAG WHICH WAS DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET BOTH ISSUES LOOKED AT. JEEP CONFIRMED IT WAS THE CLOCKWORK SPRING CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT ($48.00 DIAGNOSIS) AND THAT THE SWAY BAR DISCONNECT MOTOR ($96.00 DIAGNOSIS) HAD FAILED. THEY QUOTED ME FOR $410 TO GET THE CLOCKWORK SPRING FIXED & $1410 TO REPLACE THE SWAY BAR. NO PROMISE WAS MADE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR COST SHOULD THE ISSUES BECOME RECALLS SINCE THEY ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION. I TOOK INITIATIVE TO SELF DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SWAY BAR NOT RECONNECTING SINCE I SUSPECTED THAT THE ELECTRONIC MOTOR WAS STILL FUNCTIONING (I COULD HEAR AND FEEL TO MOTOR OPERATING BEFORE & AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE). AFTER DISASSEMBLING (NEVER BEEN TAMPERED WITH PRIOR), I FOUND WATER AND RUSTY PARTS INSIDE AND COULD SEE THAT THE UNIT AS POORLY DESIGNED JUDGING FROM THE ONE SMALL SPRING THAT IS SUPPOSE TO WORK TO RE-ENGAGE THE SWAY BAR BY PUSHING THE INTERNAL GEARS (NOW RUSTY) BACK TOGETHER. I SIMPLY APPLIED SOME GREASE TO THE PARTS AND REINSTALLED THE UNIT. TO MY DELIGHT THIS ALLOWED THE MOTOR TO RECONNECT THE SWAY BAR. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE TO PUT MOTORIST IN HARMS WAY WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING AIR BAG SYSTEM AND / OR SWAY BAR DUE TO POORLY VEHICLE CONSTRUCTION AND THEN CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR COSTS. PLEASE ISSUE RECALLS FOR THE CLOCKWORK SPRING AND THE LACK OF WATER PROTECTION FOR THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT SYSTEM BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR.

Air bags, Seat belts, Jul 24, 2015, crash
JULY 10, 2015: DRIVING TO WORK APPROXIMATELY 8:15 AM CST. CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I FELT THE BREAKS WERE NOT SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN ENOUGH TO AVOID IMPACT. WITH A VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GO LEFT. I NEVER SAW THE TRUCK IN THE ONCOMING LANE AND HIT HEAD ON. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT DID DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THE UPPER BODY PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN ME AND I SLAMMED FACE FIRST INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I SUFFERED A BROKEN AND DISLOCATED WRIST THAT REQUIRED SURGERY, SEVERE BRUISING OF FACE, ARMS, CHEST, HIPS AND LEGS. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY.

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING!!! I ACTUALLY OWN 3 2008'S AND ALL HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE!!! THIS IS A COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL JEEP JK'S, YET CHRYSLER IS SIMPLY IGNORING THIS ISSUE AFTER RECALLING 2007 AND 2008 RHD'S!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I RECEIVED NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER OTHER THAN "WE WILL NOTIFY YOU IF A RECALL IS MADE". THEY COULD PROVIDE ME WITH ZERO INFORMATION ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE. HERE'S THEIR MAILING ADDRESS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LET THEM KNOW YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS BLATANT LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR PART. IS THERE NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO UNTIL WE CAN CHECK THE FATALITY SQUARE?? THIS IS ABSURD. I'LL BE SENDING THEM A LETTER DAILY REMINDING THEM IN CASE THEY FORGET.

SEPTEMBER OF 2014 LAST YEAR I NOTICED THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COME ON. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER DEALER AND LEFT A FEW MESSAGES ABOUT RECALLS AND IF THIS MEANT A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAGS. NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT OFF AND IT WOULD STAY OFF FOR WEEKS AND MYSTERIOUSLY COME ON PERIODICALLY. SO AFTER A FEW MONTHS GO BY IN DECEMBER OF 2014 I WAS AT A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN WHEN WE PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AMD THW HORN, LIGHTS, WIPERS AND DASH LIT UP. I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE NEG BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT TWO OR THREE TIMES AND IT STOPPPED. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND DISCONMECTED THE HORN AMP VIA FUSEBOX. JUMPSTART TO FEB 2015 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE HORN BLARES AND WIPERS GO OFF BUT THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND I GLIDED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHILE OTHER CARS AVOIDED ME. 5/27/2015 MY WIFE OPENED THE JEEP DOOR AND IT TRIGGERED THE WIPERS, DASH LIGHTS AND WIPER FLUID TO SPRAY. WHEN YOU'RE ON A FIXED INCOME BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS IS NOT ALWAYS FEASABLE. I TOOK THE JEEP TO AUTOZONE FREE DIAGNOSTIC AND GOT A CODE U0141. AFTER READING THE SIMILAR STORIES WE'RE GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

BAD CLOCK SPRING CAUSING SRS AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. 2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED HOWEVER, NO BULLETINS WERE SENT FOR '08 MODELS.

THE CLOCK SPRING IN MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS GONE BAD AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2007 WRANGLER BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I WENT THROUGH JEEP AND THEY SAID HEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SO I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART MYSELF. THE AIRBAG IS SOMETHING I FEEL THEY SHOULD NOT TAKE SO LIGHTLY. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A PERSON TAKES THE TIME TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT WARRANTY OR NOT.
