2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2013

This a is known (very common) problem on most Jeeps after a certain mileage. The air bag light and bell alarm constantly chime to let you know that the airbag is not active or inop, and wont work. There is a part in the steering wheel under air-bag called a "clock-spring" that goes bad on tens of thousands of Jeeps. They (Chrysler) know about it. It should be recalled,but they ignore the safety hazard and defective design. This needs to be recalled on all models affected not just one year (which I think is 2004).
