A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN I HEARD A POP AND THEN MY AIRBAG LAMP (DASH LIGHT) STARTED COMING ON AND DINGS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED (VERY ANNOYING)...I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT TOLD ME THIS MEANT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. I DID SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR A KNOW ISSUE / RECALL FOR CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLY IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AND NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. I FOUND A FEW SITES THAT LISTED MY MAKE / MODEL OF JEEP AS ONE OF THE RECALLS ... BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER / JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE & TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER / JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED- I WAS TOLD MY MAKE / MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET ($499.17 TO BE EXACT - SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). TALK ABOUT A SHOCK - I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT IT WOULD BE THIS EXPENSIVE - BUT TO BE PROTECTED AND SAFE IN MY VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE DONE. I AM HOPING TO ALSO VOICE MY CONCERNS & HOPEFULLY PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY PREVENT DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GET THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CLOCK-SPRING ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. I ALSO REQUESTING THAT THIS INCIDENT BE REPORTED, INVESTIGATED AND HOPE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE I PRAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE TIME, MONEY OR WORRY THAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED... HOPEFULLY BEFORE IT CAUSES AN INJURY OR DEATH!

FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WIRING FOR AIRBAG. REPLACED FOR $500.00 THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT FOR RHD MODELS THAT HAS PROMPTED A RECALL. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, THE 2007 LHD MODEL WARRANTY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXTENDED AS WELL. HOWEVER, I HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY 2009 LHD MODEL (160,000 MILES). THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ABSORBED BY THE COMPANY AND NOT THE CUSTOMER!

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY AIRBAG LAMP (DASH LIGHT) STARTED COMING ON AND DINGS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED (VERY ANNOYING) ... I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT TOLD ME THIS MEANT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. I DID SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MY YEAR, MAKE & MODEL JEEP HAD A KNOW ISSUE / RECALL FOR CLOCK SPRING IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AND NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST OF RECALLS BUT THAT IT DIDN'T MEAN THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE LARGE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP MYSELF AND THEN FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM FOR RE-IMBURSEMENT... WHICH I FIND TO BE RIDICULOUS - IF ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE THEN THEY SHOULD HONOR IT AND FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT ME BEING OUT THE MONEY!

AS WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER LEFT HAND STEER JEEP OWNERS, OUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, HORN DOES NOT WORK, AND CRUISE CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE. NHTSA AND JEEP HAVE DEEMED IT OKAY TO REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS ON THE RIGHT HAND STEER WHICH IS A VERY SMALL PERCENT OF ALL JEEPS. GET ON IT, START THE RECALL, IT IS UNSAFE, AND WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE WHEN JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED AND TALKING TO OTHER 2009 OWNERS SINCE MARCH OF 2010. LET'S GO.

LOOKED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT FOUND THERE WAS ONLY ONE FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. I DID, HOWEVER, FIND AN OPEN INVESTIGATION & MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAVE CHECKED FOR LOOSE OR BAD WIRING CONNECTION EXTERNALLY - NONE FOUND. BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS DUE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING FAILURE. TALKED WITH DEALER (OF LITTLE HELP) - NO RECALL NOTICE, YOUR PROBLEM BUT WE CAN FIX. FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED UNDER WARRANTY/RECALL PROCESS.

AIRBAG FAILURE ILLUMINATION, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INDICATE THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS THE ISSUE AND MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WITH OUT A CRASH. I CONTACTED JEEP THEY INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DID SAY THEY WOULD CHIP IN AND ONLY CHARGE ME $600.00.BUT THAT OFFER WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 30 DAYS AFTER I REPORTED THE ISSUE. THIS LEFT ME WITH NO OTHER RECOURSE OTHER THEN PAYING THE $600.00 TO PULL THE FUSE TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I NOW NOTE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES LIKE MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE REFUSED TO COVER THIS ISSUE. SO KNOW I TURN TO YOU.

WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, MY JEEP'S AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WARNING DING SOUNDED. THE LIGHT WOULD REGULARLY SWITCH OFF AND ON AGAIN, EVERY TIME ACCOMPANIED BY THE WARNING DING WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED BACK ON. THE LIGHT IS PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS ON NOW, AND THE WARNING DING ONLY SOUNDS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE AIRBAG WARNING CHECKED OUT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED. THE CLOCK SPRING APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN; CHRYSLER ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL AFTER A PREVIOUS NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE11019) BUT THE SAME PART/DESIGN IS USED FROM 2007 THROUGH 2012 IN JEEP WRANGLERS.

THE CLOCK SPRING CEASED TO WORK TURNING OFF THE AIRBAG, THERE WAS A SHUDDER AND THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROLLED SYSTEM) BEGAN BRAKING ON ITS OWN. THEN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THE SYSTEM WENT SHUDDERY AND QUIT WORKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007 THRU 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PART, EXCEPT THAT CRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT IT ONLY AFFECTS A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF JEEPS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. A SEARCH ON GOOGLE WILL SHOW HUNDREDS OF CASES WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING BREAKS, CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME TURNED OFF AND THE END AND TCS SYSTEMS TO GO HAYWIRE, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNDRIVEABLE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE PART IN WRANGLERS JEEP LIBERTY AND TWO OTHER BRANDS. THE HAZZARD IS COMPOUNDED IMMENSELY IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET (DEATH WOBBLE) YET ANOTHER UNFIXED ISSUE. THIS WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATH, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED, DETERMINED CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FOR RIGHT HAND STEERING 2009 JEEP WRANGLERS AND HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THIS ISSUE YET HAS DONE NOTHING FOR OTHER AFFECTED MODELS. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN RESULT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT PUTS ALL CUSTOMERS AT RISK.
