Esp/bas, abs and skidding vehicle icon lights came on in the instrument cluster! the cruise control stopped working. This is the same issue we had on our 2007 Jeep wrangler, which I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, which issued a recall on our Jeep. The clock spring module, located under the steering wheel, controls, the abs, esp/bas, cruise control, horn, and air bag! this is a safety issue and should be recalled, like my 2007 Jeep wrangler was!.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2014

2006 Jeep Liberty clockspring malfunction. Contact with dealership yielded info that no replacement part is available, yet the car is rendered unsafe without the replacement of malfunctioning part. Owners have to decide whether to drive unsafely or park it until the part is available, which most people cannot afford to do. This is a widespread problem that Chrysler is not addressing.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2014

My daughter was driving and a truck in front of her stopped quickly causing my daughter to slam on brakes to avoid a collision but ended up rear ending the truck. Her airbag deployed and her Jeep had to be towed from the site. It has been in the shop since 4/28/14 and was repaired except for the clock spring which is necessary for the new airbag. We have been told that this part is no longer produced or manufactured by any vendor in the country. Therefore, our Jeep cannot be released to us which has caused a hardship on our family as well as a hardship for the shop manager as he cannot be paid until the car is released. Because of this I believe that anyone driving a 2006 Jeep Liberty in the country is possibly at risk due to this device not being readily available in the proper supply channels.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2014

The clock spring on this Jeep has broken and has been broken for more than two months. This has disabled the horn, abs system, cruise control, vehicle stability program and most importantly the driver's airbag. This is a known problem to Jeep and they are doing nothing about it. They just continue to say the part is on back order. This is unsafe and someone must force a mandatory immediate solution.

The clock spring on this 2006 Jeep Liberty has been broken for more than two years. This has disabled the abs system, vehicle stability program and the driver's airbag. This is a known problem to Jeep and they are doing nothing about it. They just continue to say the part is on back order. This is unsafe and someone must force a mandatory immediate solution in the last 2 months alone since may 2015 the backorder has grown from 500+ to 700+ and now Chrysler won't even return my call.

While driving down the freeway at 65 miles an hour both the driver and passenger airbags deployed without warning or any apparent reason. We were able to safely pull off the road and as soon as the smoke cleared from the vehicle we drove it to the nearest Jeep dealer they are currently looking at it but haven't got back to us yet.
