Airbag light intermittently goes on and off constantly and when the dealer diagnosed the problem as an issue with the clockspring and ordered the part, it had to be special ordered because it was on special back order and I was told I was 503 on the waiting list! it is apparently a safety issue as I'm told I have to replace it or the airbag is not working when the airbag light is on. The repair estimate is over $530.

The airbag light started coming on and off and sounding a chime as the steering wheel is turned about a year ago. Now it stays on all the time.

I understand my airbag won't work in this condition and is a safety issue.

Check airbag light coming on and beeping intermittently when vehicle was in motion. Took Jeep to dealership, was advised clockspring (in steering column) was faulty with squib 1 circuit open.

While driving my car started displaying issues with the air bag. The dash is intermittently displaying a airbag light. This continually turns on and off.

The air bag light keeps coming on and off as the car is driven. I have done research and it appears this is quite common in the cars. My concern is does the air bag work or not. My 16 year old child used to drive this car but does not anymore. They recalled Jeeps with the steering wheels on the left side with the exact same problem that I am describing. This is dangerous and not sure why no one is forcing a recall on this. I was originally told this was covered in a recall by galeana Jeep in columbia s. C. And brought my Jeep in to get worked on. When I got my Jeep back the light was still turning on and off and I was told it was not covered. This is not good business.

Air bag light is coming on at various times. It will come on then go off. It makes a chiming sound. It does this while driving when I hit a hard bump or turn the wheel. I called Chrysler and they will not fix it. Should this not be a safety thing that they should fix for the life of the vehicle? I read that they have recalled certain ones even ones in my year. . . But not my VIN number for this exact problem! I am very concerned that if I would need my airbags that they would not work. I have read this is a result of the clock spring needing repair and I don't have the money to get it fixed.

The airbag light continually turns on and off in my Jeep. This is accompanied with a continuous warning ping that goes off when you are almost out of gas or need something checked ASAP.

Looking on any forum site or even this one and you will see multiple complaints of the same issue. Jeep told me that I would need to pay out of pocket to get this fixed until a recall is issued. Considering my Jeep and many others are having this occur well before 100k miles there is an issue with the part that they are putting into the cars.
