RESEARCH SAYS IT'S A CLOCK SPRING SENSOR OR MODULE BASED ON HOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $400 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. THIS IS A DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MANY OTHER JK JEEPS, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2010.

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 16,000 MILES THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY MODULE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, INCLUDING EXTENDED WARRANTY. READING ONLINE COMMENTS DISCOVERING JEEP DID A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP TO MODEL YEAR 2008 AND ALSO RECALLED RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS BEYOND 2008 FOR THIS ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS FOR POST 2008 JEEPS IS THERE ARE TOO MANY ON THE ROAD, OVER 300,000. I ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER (STETLER YORK, PA) DIAGNOSING AT $95.00 THEN STATING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND NEED TO ORDER IT, IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS NOW. ADDITIONALLY, THEY, DEALER COULD NOT TELL US IF THE AIRBAG WOULD OPERATE CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ONE FINAL NOTE, THE DEALER STATED THIS IS COMMON FROM JEEPS ROUGH RIDE. EXCUSE ME, THEY PROCLAIM/ADVERTISE RUGGED READINESS. I HAVE NEVER OFF ROAD-ED THIS VEHICLE. I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CONDITION. I THINK JEEP SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

FIRST MY BRAKE CALIPER AND PISTON WERE FROZEN DUE TO THE FLUIDS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. 2 WEEKS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY CLOCK SPRING AND THE THIRD ISSUE WAS MY ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS FAULTY AND THEN DRAINED MY BATTERY WHICH I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE. THESE THREE ISSUES HAVE COST ME OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A PREOWNED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER,THAT HAD ALMOST 38000 MILES ON IT, NOW HAS ALMOST 41000 MILES. LAST WEEK AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON GOING OFF.I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND BEFORE THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT CALLED TO FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID TAKE TO DEALER LET THEM SCAN FOR TROUBLE CODES. I DID THIS THE DEALER SCANNED IT AND SAID IT DID SHOW A CODE. HOWEVER THE CODE WAS INCONCLUSIVE AND TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE WOULD HAVE TAKE STEERING WHEEL OFF AIRBAG OUT AND CLOCKSPRING OUT TO DIAGNOSE PROPERLY (ABOUT 2.5 HOURS TO BE EXACT WORTH OF LABOR I HAD TO PAY FOR.) I TOLD THEM NOT TO TAKE IT APART THAT I WOULD CALL JEEP FIRST AND PLEAD MY CASE. JEEP TOLD ME THAT'S WHAT HAD TO BE DONE FOR THEM TO DETERMINE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW FOR GOOD PART, THE SUSPECT FAILED PART IS THE CLOCKSPRING UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL THAT MAKES AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE DASH, ALSO THE AIRBAG. THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. HMMM. I'VE OWNED MANY OTHER CARS WITH AIRBAGS AND NEVER HAVE HAD ONE FAIL PERIOD. THIS CAR IS 4000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND DOES NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING SAFETY SYSTEM. KIND OF IMPORTANT IN A CAR WITH A SOFT TOP DON'T YOU THINK?

WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THING CALLED A "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY JEEP AS THEY EXTENDED A WARRANTY ON CLOCK SPRINGS TO 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS (RIGHT HAND DRIVE). ON LINE I HAVE FOUND THAT CLOCK SPRINGS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM TO LEFT HAND DRIVE ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS HAS CONTINUED ON INTO THE PRESENT JEEPS. I WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS REPAIR, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT IN YOUR AREA. *TR
