Air Bag Light On problems of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

My air bag light keeps coming on randomly. I took it to a friend who works for Chrysler as a mechanic and his code reader mentioned the steering wheel air bag is the culprit. We've determined that the clock spring is the root of the issue. Although not of the same recall group, this is exactly like the 2016's recall of 2007-2010 us Wranglers, and over 7k+ right-hand drive Wranglers. Im sure my Wrangler is not the only 2011 having this issue. Considering we've been dealing with tons of dust and soot in California due to wildfires everywhere, it is likely the dust triggering this; nonetheless fitting the profile of the recall in 2016 exactly as it is. I believe Chrysler/fiat should honor vehicles built in that year range as it seems they are still affected by this design flaw.

While driving down the highway the airbag light came on with no warning. The airbag light would go off and on. Turning the steering wheel when stationary will also make the light come on and off.

Clock spring malfunction- the buttons on the steering wheel have all gone out, the horn no longer works, and the airbag light is on. This happened suddenly when I went to turn my car on after it had been parked and turned off for the night.

Recently had airbag replaced per recall. About 2 weeks before, airbag light on console now comes on intermittently, usually at lower speeds. Will go off for brief period, then alarms and illuminates again. This began with around 149,500 miles. I am original purchaser. Airbag light was doing this at time of airbag replacement. I confirmed authorized repair dept. Was aware of this, and they confirmed. Informed me to schedule followup appointment for repair. Vehicle has been involved in no accidents. Upon personal review, it is my understanding this may be a clock spring issue, as buttons on steering wheel are non-operational, except cruise control and horn.

The clock spring on my Jeep appears to have failed. The airbag light on my Jeep is on. The dealership says as long as this light is on the airbags in my vehicle will not deploy as intended. I've researched this issue and Jeep (fca us) recalled a majority of Jeeps from �07-�12 for this issue. Additionally they issued an extended warranty for the clock spring for most Wranglers from �11-�16. My vehicle should fall within each. I'm being told by both fca us and the Jeep dealership that this issue is not covered on my Jeep. This seems wrong when the clock spring issue is a known defect that presents a serious safety concern.

Airbag light in on indicating a problem with the airbag. I contacted Jeep and they said the repair would be $600. If this is a safety item due to no result of my own, then why should I have to pay for the repair?.

Airbag light constantly on. Faulty clock wire spring?.

Clock spring went out on my Jeep and airbag is non functional. Recall only goes to 2010 but mine is a 2011 with the same design and part so why is it not covered in recall. Airbag light is illuminated and non funtioning.

My 2011 rubicon left hand drive has never been in an accident and has an airbag light on. . . . I took it to the Jeep dealer and I can have the clock spring and wiring repaired for $810. . . This is a common problem as I was told by the dealer. . . . .

Clock spring recall s33 does not cover Jeep Wrangler 2011 left hand drive models! warning this is unsafe and a 10 on the oem's dfmea! unfair. This 2011 clock spring failure causes airbag light and same code as the 2007 - 2010 and 2011 right drive recalls. I have dealer repair receipts to prove. Why aren't the left hand 2011 Jeep jk Wranglers included in this safety recall? keep all your documentation and report to fca and to NHTSA if you have same issue to get reimbursement when they do recall the left hand model.

Air bag light is on and steeringwheel controls for the radio and computer step do not work thus a clock spring defect.

My airbag light came on and then I found out there was a recall on the airbag system so I finally took it in and had it repaired but the light did not go off and now they are telling me that I have no airbags because the light is no but that had nothing to do with recall so I need to pay to see what the problem is? why would my airbag light come on and then I get a recall but yet that has nothing to do with it?? I do not know exactly when this happened but I think at least a year or more ago when the light came on and the recall came out but nobody had parts.

Airbag light comes on consistently and started about 55,000 miles. Dealer tested and says it is code b1b02. After researching online I saw where this has been an known issue for some time.

My 2011 Jeep Wrangler sport has less than 50,000 miles and my airbag light is on and has been on for at least 6 months or more. Why is the recall only for rh drive Wranglers, from what I am reading there are several lh drive Wranglers with the same issue. Also every time it rains front driver and passenger floors are wet underneath floor mat. I have read several owner complaints on this issue but manufacture does not seem to care.

My airbag light came on in my 2011 Jeep rubicon. A recall was issued two days after I called both Chrysler and by dealership complaining about my issue. I was told that I was basically on my own to cover the cost of the replacement clockspring. Recall information "(fca us llc) is recalling 394,258 model year 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler jk vehicles manufactured March 2, 2006, to August 13, 2010. " this does not cover my 2011 Jeep which was manufactured September 2010. A month from the cut off date. My Jeep has the same engine as the the 2010s unlike the later build 2011 Jeeps. It also has the same exact clockspring as well.

Air bag light going on and off ever 2-4 minutes with a chime each time. Light goes on and of weather in motion or at a standstill. Had mechanic scan for obd codes. Code came back as b1b02 clock spring failure. Rhd Jeeps have been recalled for this exact issue but not lhd. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed to all Wranglers of these years and not just the rhd.

Clock spring is defective. The airbag light and warning chime comes on and goes off. The same part number was recalled on all 2007 Wranglers and 2008-2012 right hand Wranglers. However, the 2008-2012 left hand Jeeps weren't included?.

The clockspring on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler (left handed drive) has failed causing the airbags to become dysfunctional and airbag light to engage. Fca has recalled right handed drive Jeep Wranglers 2007-2012 under the attached recall notification. Fca has also recalled 2007 lhd Jeep Wranglers for this same issue. The root cause of these recalls was determined to be dust accumulation in the grease of the clockspring as seen in the attached recall notification. The clockspring part in both lhd and rhd variations of this model Jeep Wrangler include a similar, if not the same, clockspring part. The amount of dust that a Jeep Wrangler is subject to does not correlate to the position of the steering wheel and clockspring. I would suspect that a vehicle with less that 70,000 miles and 5 years of use should not have airbag failure. I have contacted my local Jeep dealership which then instructed me to contact the fca Jeep warranty/recall 800 number in addition to the fca headquarter's 800 number. After speaking with a representative at the fca headquarters hotline I was told that the recall does not apply to my lhd 2011 Jeep Wrangler and the repair was to be made from out of my pocket. As of June 2015 there has been an open investigation into this issue for lhd Jeep Wranglers as seen in the link below. . Read more...

I have a bad clockspring which has been recalled on right handed Wranglers for the same year but has not yet for the left handed Wranglers and it is causing my airbag light to illuminate while I am driving and while I am staying still and could affect my airbag from deploying when needed.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 35 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and the horn failed. The dealer diagnosed that the clockspring malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

I currently own a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that is experiencing some electrical issues. Currently the airbag light is on and there is a chime indicating such. This chime occurs approximately every 1 to 2 minutes. At about the same time the airbag light problem occurred, the other controls on the steering wheel such as the horn, cruise control and radio controls stopped functioning. I contacted Jeep (Chrysler) about the issue and was told they would contact me within 24-48 hours concerning this issue. Approximately 10 days went by and I had not heard back from Jeep. I contacted Jeep and was told that they will not fix this issue. I explained to them the safety concerns with not having a working horn and a questionable airbag. This did not seem to be an issue that they were to concerned about. I've been in law enforcement for several years now, and I cannot stress enough about the importance of having a functioning airbag. This is coming from some of the accidents that I have either witnessed or worked as an investigating officer. I have found through research that several earlier model (2007-2008) Jeep Wranglers have been recalled for similar issues. This is a recurring problem and I am sure you have received complaints on this issue in the past. This is my second Jeep and the company replaced the part that was causing the issue before. It was a 2007. This part is referred to as a clock spring and cost over $500. 00 to replace. I would like for this issue to be addressed before someone is gravely affected.

The air bag light has been turning on and off, it is mostly on. The dealership told me it was the "clockspring" and it would be about $500 to repair. I declined to repair because I cannot afford it right now.

My air bag light came on. I took my car into the dealer and they told me that the clock spring needed to be replaced. I found out that there is recall for the clock spring, but only on the right-hand drive Jeeps. Have the left-hand drives been included in this recall?.

While driving my Jeep from home to work, I was probably five minutes into the drive when my air bag light begins to ding on and off every couple of seconds. I was driving on the same residential street I always take to work and have never experienced any issues in the past. My vehicle is very well taken care of and is not abused like some Jeeps. After work I was doing research as to what could cause the problem and the consensus seemed to be that if a Jeep was rained on your clock spring would soon go bad. I have removed both the top and doors from my Jeep, but the Jeep has never been rained on. My Jeep is garage kept and the only elements it has been exposed to is heat and dust. Also, I experienced this issue in January and I am in northern ut so this vehicle has not even had the top off within six months from the incident. Larry h. Miller said they would be happy to look at the problem but that the average cost is around $500. 00 (they seemed aware of the faulty part). After further research I have discovered the 2008 clock spring was found to be recalled but nothing later then that? I am confused how the same part can be recalled on the same vehicle but only for one year? Jeep promotes themselves as trail rated, yet I would argue they are simply novelty at this point with all fashion and no function (mind you this is coming from someone who does not even partake in off-roading). Lastly, aside from the obvious security concern it has been brought to my attention that this vehicle now will not pass safety and emissions testing due to mopar's failure I am now required to pay for their mistake. Please address this issue and help others in the future!.
