Four problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Irbag light comes on and the gauges go to zero including the speedometer, tachometer and gas gauge. They sometimes come back on when the car goes over a bump.
On 03/26/99 I was involved in an auto-auto collision, impacting front right side. Other auto was going 35+ mph. Neither pass. Nor driver airbags deployed. I am concerned that my airbags may be defective. Dealer contacted but has yet to investigate. Manufacturer (Chrysler corp. ) contacted but will not do anything because guam is not within continental us. I just want to know if in fact they should have deployed or not.
Vehicle has been in for repair three occassions for air bag repair and waiting for parts on last repair, however during accident during waiting period vehicle experienced no deployment of air bag and seat belt failure resulting in head injury to driver.
Clock spring in steering column shorted out also, engine controller, and horn failure. Also air bag and cruise control lights came on.
