I OWN A 2013 JEEP WRANGLER, I TAKE MY JEEP OFF-ROAD EVERY WEEKEND. LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, NV, I CAN KEEP THE TOP OFF 10 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. LIVING IN THE DESERT, IT'S ALSO VERY DUSTY HERE. IN MAY OF 2016, I WAS ON AN OFF-ROADING TRIP, WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING. THEY QUOTED ME $700.00 TO FIX IT...I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY, SO I PAID THEM THE $150.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... TWO DAYS LATER, THE FIRST RECALL FOR CLOCKSPRING CAME OUT. I CALLED THE DEALER BACK, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN #, AND SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THEN SEVERAL MORE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT LISTED. I DID RESEARCH ON CLOCKSPRINGS, AND FOUND OUT THE REASON THEY GO OUT IS DUE TO DUST, FREQUENT OFF-ROAD, AND REMOVING THE TOP. ALL OF WHICH DESCRIBES MY JEEP. IN ADDITION TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING, THE CLOCKSPRING EFFECTS THE HORN, AS WELL AS OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL EMAILS TO JEEP, CHRYSLER, AND MOPAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL JEEP FORUMS SITES, ASKING FOR HELP. IF THE RECALL COVERS ONLY SOME 2013 MODELS, BUT MY MODEL MATCHES THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE RECALL ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

ON MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED (LHD), THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND CHIMES EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DASHBOARD CHIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS INDICATES THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS A FAULTY "CLOCKSPRING". THIS RAISES CONCERNS THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR WILL DEPLOY PREMATURELY. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS PART UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THE CURRENT RECALL IS FOR 2007 AND UP RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS ONLY EVEN THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME PART NUMBER. I HAD A 2007 WRANGLER (LHD) YEARS AGO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE CLOCKSPRING. THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON MY PREVIOUS 2007 WRANGLER FOR THE SAME PART NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IF THE SAME PART NUMBER IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST $520 WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD PAY IF OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING THIS JOB COMPLETED FOR FREE. IF MY SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN, PLEASE CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS, AND MOVE TO INCLUDE ALL JEEP WRANGLER MODELS WITH CLOCKSPRING PART NUMBER 68339336AA.

VEHICLE UPON LEAVING A STORE, (JUST BEGAN TO RAIN HARD), THE LIGHTS, WIPERS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND ALL FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND LEFT AND RIGHT STALK STOPPED WORKING.
