MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND SAYS THE CLOCK SPRING HAS GONE BAD. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR JEEP'S THAT ARE RIGHT HANDED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I ALSO SEE ON THE FORUMS AND THIS WEBSITE THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF LEFT HANDED JEEP WRANGLERS. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE FOR BOTH. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I LEARN MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I AM IN A WRECK.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR CHRYSLER AS A MECHANIC AND HIS CODE READER MENTIONED THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG IS THE CULPRIT. WE'VE DETERMINED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IS THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE. ALTHOUGH NOT OF THE SAME RECALL GROUP, THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE 2016'S RECALL OF 2007-2010 US WRANGLERS, AND OVER 7K+ RIGHT-HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS. IM SURE MY WRANGLER IS NOT THE ONLY 2011 HAVING THIS ISSUE. CONSIDERING WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH TONS OF DUST AND SOOT IN CALIFORNIA DUE TO WILDFIRES EVERYWHERE, IT IS LIKELY THE DUST TRIGGERING THIS; NONETHELESS FITTING THE PROFILE OF THE RECALL IN 2016 EXACTLY AS IT IS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER/FIAT SHOULD HONOR VEHICLES BUILT IN THAT YEAR RANGE AS IT SEEMS THEY ARE STILL AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW.

TAKATA RECALL - BOUGHT MY VEHICLE, NO LIGHT WAS EVER ON. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE TILL PRESENT - AIRBAGS LIGHT COMES ON WITH DINGS, STAYS ON. ELECTRICAL IS FAILING, CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. CRUISE AND TRAC CONTROL KICK ON AND OFF WHENEVER THEY WANT TO, THAT HAS BEEN SCARY (MOVING ALL 4 TIMES, 4 ON INTERSTATE, 1 AS I WAS TURNING A SHARP TURN AFTER I HAD SLOWED). IN THE DATE SLOT BELOW, I WILL PUT THE 1ST KNOWN TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, AS THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL.
