AIRBAG WARNING CHIME AND LIGHT COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BOTH RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. CAUSE OF FAILURE IS BAD AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS BUT DOES NOT COVER LEFT HAND DRIVE WRANGLES. I AM A AVID OFF ROAD ENTHUSIAST AND BELIEVE THE EXPOSURE TO DIRT/DUST IS THE ROOT CAUSE. THIS WAS THE FINDING WITH RHD JEEPS DUE THE NATURE OF POSTAL SERVICE USE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS USED OFF ROAD WITH THE DOORS REMOVED I DO FEEL THE CONDITIONS ARE CLOSE TO WHAT A POSTAL JEEP MAY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS THE INTENDED USE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD NOT FAIL. *TR

THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2007. THERE IS A RECALL ON CURRENT RHD JEEPS WITH THIS EXACT PART. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH A DOCUMENTED FAULTY PART THAT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. CAN'T FIGURE WHY CHRYSLER WON'T FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT A YEAR AGO I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. I WAS TOLD IT IS CALLED THE CLOCK SPRING. WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING, MY HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, AND ALSO MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO, WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING THERE ARE CHANCES OF MY AIR BAG ACTIVATING RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON SO THAT REALLY WORRIES ME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN WRECKED INTO SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM NOT ABLE TO HONK MY HORN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2008-2012 JK JEEP WRANGLERS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE A RECALL FOR IT SINCE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT ONLY THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS HAD A CLOCK SPRING RECALL. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THOSE ARE M31 AND L37. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE LEFT HAND DRIVE 2009 JK JEEP WRANGLERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AND I FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS MAY NOT WORK AND ALSO KNOWING I COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF MY AIR BAGS GO OFF RANDOMLY. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I KNOW MORE JEEPS LIKE MINE THAT ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
