4 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2016

2010 Jeep jk - while driving, particularly at low speeds the airbag warning light is constantly flashing or, going on, then off, then on, then off, etc. Each time with the sound and warning light. At higher speeds, it mostly stays in warning mode but if the steering wheel is turned at all, it will start to flash. Apparently there are recalls on the rhd Jeep jk and several other 2007 - 2010 model years. I believe there are several more vehicles involved than what they are claiming and mine should be one of them. I am worried the airbag may not work when it needs to.

8 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2015

On my 2010 Jeep Wrangler dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. This has been a recurring issue and concern for my 2010 and many other Jeep Wrangler (jk version) owners. The cause of this light has been shown time and time again to be a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2008 Jeep Wrangler during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Jeep has had clockspring recalls previously with their 2007 Wranglers, but this recall has not been extended to the 2008- versions. Daimler Chrysler has refused to voluntarily address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying.

11 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2015

The airbag clockspring assemblies needed to be replaced in my left-hand drive Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler already has a recall for right-hand drive models addressing broken airbag clockspring assemblies. Recall number: 13v176000 in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver-side frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. In my opinion this is a serious safety risk in the Jeep Wrangler. I received the warning light while the Jeep was in motion, and luckily I was near a Jeep dealership (bill bryan Chrysler Dodge Jeep, fruitland park, FL 34731) where I had the broken airbag clockspring assembly replaced to the tune of $500.

Dealer diagnosed a broken clock spring but my VIN not included in recall info I provided them. Contacted manufacturer and filed complaint, they said this recall was for rhd vehicles and I disagreed according to the NHTSA investigation; action #pe11019 and recall #11v52800. When asked what grievance process was available to me, she said none. Complaint #25543107 was filed and she said I will be contacted if my VIN is added to the recall. She could not tell me why would my vehicle did not qualify for the recall? I paid for the repairs and retained the broken part;, which the tec said was clearly broken while still in the column and came out in pieces.

26 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2013

While deiving at all speeds I would get an airbag warning light and chime associated with steering inputs. Contacted service department. They said no recall exists and im out of warranty and would have to pay to get it fixed. Looked up recalls and failed components common to my complaint. Found the exact problem on my Jeep up to 2009 and another recall for my year Jeep but only right handed steering models. Did more research and the same part number component is used in all of them in this year group but my vehicle isnt covered. This is a gross neglect to address a know safety concern and could result in serious injury or death. The Jeep was bought new, and airbags should be warrantied for longer than 36,000 miles. Especially when they are being recalled for every year and model around mine and I have the same exact problem.

27 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2013

Air bag warning light came on so I took it to a local dealer to tell me what the malfunction was, they told me it was the clock spring. I asked if there was any recalls on it, they said only on the rhd Wranglers so I asked how much to repair it. They said it would be around $500. 00 reluctanty I paid it because it's a safety item that I didn't want to take a chance on. After researching this matter I discovered this is an on going problem with the Jeeps and I feel this should be a recall item just as the rhd Wranglers (same part) and Chrysler should refund my money.

Failure Date: 04/08/2013

Warning light came on, telling me that there was a problem with the air bags. This was caused by thing called a "clock spring" in the steering wheel. This in a known problem by Jeep as they extended a warranty on clock springs to 2007 Jeep Wranglers (right hand drive). On line I have found that clock springs have been a problem to left hand drive also. I believe this has continued on into the present Jeeps. I would like this safety issue to be taken care of.
