3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2015

The vehicle has been showing the airbag light since I purchased it. First they replaced the seat belt tensioner trying to guess problem but it did not fix it but it went away for a while. Now they believe they found true problem and it's the clock spring. I believe the item was defective since new purchase and now it completely go bad. I have no airbags and I'm driving around bad because Jeep installed a defective clock spring on my 08 Jeep. They have a recall on 07 Jeeps but my 08 is not part of it. Hopefully you can add our 08 Jeeps Commander to that list.

4 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

Air bag light began coming on and off intermittently, whether driving or stationary, eventually staying on most of the time. Periodically while driving it would go off them immediately come on and chime. Took to a Chrysler dealer and was advised the clock spring in the steering wheel needed to be replaced as it was faulty and would not deploy the air bag if involved in a crash. Researched the issue and found several other complaints for this model as well as recalls for 2007 to 2010 Jeep wranglers which have the same steering system. Clock spring was subsequently replaced by dealer for a significant cost, correcting the problem.

6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2014

While driving noticed windows, sunroof, radio, seats, air conditioning systems where not operating at all. Then airbag light came on, along with service four wheel drive system warning indicator came on. Tried restarting and resetting systems but had no luck. Had a friend bring other key fob and all systems but four wheel drive were normal for remainder of fifteen mile trip. Upon notifying dealership about recall notice received for transfer case programming. They assured my family it would solve all problems. Being an honest mechanic that I am, I took there word. Two weeks later same problems and was getting worse fuel mileage then before programming. (6 mpg less) I had to leave work to take Commander back to dealership. They said programming didn't program. After leaving returned to work and decided to test four wheel drive. Same results, service four wheel system light and four low didn't work. Returned third time four low worked for one week but radio completely stopped producing sound. Now they say I'm out of my ten thousand mile programming warranty. I would rather have old programming back at least then I could use four low and it didn't shift into neutral when I let off throttle. Very worried about families safety. Please help.

7 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2013

I bought my 2008 Jeep Commander 4x4 with v8 4. 7l, quadra track ii on 8/1/2013. Atp I was told there was a recall on ______________. I service appointment was made and the care was repaired. I soon called the repair shop back and complained of the airbag light being on intermittently, 4x4 service light and parking and brake lights also working intermittently. I was told that these issues were not park of the recall they repaired and to call the dealer I bought the car from. I called automation and was told that my complaints were not in the recall and or under a warranty with them and to pay for a service appointment. I could not afford the services so no go. I still have these issues off and on and just got a service repair recall notice in 9/2010. Like all the others I'm still risking everything ecah time I drive the only car we own as a family and an waiting for chryler to make the part available and pray I don't hurt myself my family or another driver, if the system decides to completely fail. Come on get your shit together we need parts and a fix ASAP!!!1.
