I purchased a 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sahara (VIN [xxx] ) from soliman motors inc. , [xxx] (phone [xxx] ) on April 11, 2026. The vehicle is subject to active NHTSA stop-drive recall #19v-018 for the takata passenger airbag inflator, issued January 15, 2019. This recall was not disclosed to me at any point before, during, or after the purchase. I was never informed of this active federal stop-drive safety recall by the dealer. I discovered the recall independently after purchase through the Jeep manufacturer app. Upon discovery I immediately contacted an authorized Jeep dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that recall parts are on nationwide backorder with no confirmed availability date. I am currently on a waiting list at an authorized Jeep dealership. This recall has been open and unrepaired for over seven years since its issuance on January 15, 2019. The dealer sold this vehicle to me without disclosing the existence of this active stop-drive safety recall. The recall involves a takata passenger airbag inflator that can rupture upon deployment, sending metal shrapnel toward vehicle occupants — a known life-threatening defect responsible for deaths and serious injuries worldwide. I have been driving this vehicle without any knowledge of this life-threatening safety defect from the date of purchase until I independently discovered the recall. The dealer’s failure to disclose this recall at the point of sale put my life and the lives of my passengers at serious risk. Additionally, the financing for this transaction was cancelled by the lender, thrift investment corporation, because the dealer sold this vehicle to a buyer without a valid driver’s license — confirming the dealer failed to conduct basic due diligence before completing this sale. I am requesting: 1. Investigation of soliman motors inc. For failure to disclose active stop-drive recall #19v-018 at point of sale 2. Review of whether solim information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Nhtsa recall number 19v018000 made appointment at west knoxville Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (530 kingston pike, knoxville, TN 37919) dealership states they do not have the part, do not know when they will have it.

My 2013 Jeep Wrangler rubicon, has a non-functional horn and steering wheel controls, including cruise control and audio buttons, which stopped working in. I suspect a faulty clockspring, as these symptoms match issues in prior Jeep Wrangler recalls for 2007-2012 models (NHTSA campaign 11v528000), where clockspring failures also disabled horns and risked airbag malfunctions. My vehicle shows. This poses a safety risk, as the horn is critical for avoiding collisions. No repairs attempted yet, but similar complaints appear online from other 2013 Wrangler owners.

My airbag sensor has been continually toggling on and off for a few months now. I had the car scanned at my service center and the code came up as an issue with my driver seat airbag circuit. In my research on recalls for my year vehicle, there is a recall ~NHTSA campaign number 16v28800 ~components air bags ~summary the clock spring assembly may become contaminated with dust and cause the airbag circuit to fail. Although this recall is for right hand drive and my Jeep is left hand drive, it appears it may be the same issue. Please advise as I feel unsafe driving my Jeep and will be taking it next week to service center to have it corrected . Thank you. Awaiting your reply.

Instrument airbag warning light.
Air bag light keeps coming on and off while driving . None stop digging. . . . Can not seem to find the problem other them air bags may not work properly.
Horn, evic & radio controls on the steering wheel don't work. After waiting 2 months tfor the part, they replaced the evic switch which I was promised controlled the horn & radio too. It didn't fix the horn or any of the other issues. Now the dealer wants to replace the clock spring. There is an existing recall for my model year and years before and after (safety recall s40 / NHTSA 16v-288 airbag clockspring) but my VIN is not included. Jeep can not explain why I'm not included and said my airbag may or may not work. Any help is appreciated.
My airbag dash light is illuminated. I took it to park Jeep and the error code suggests that it is the clockspring that should be replaced. - I bought a "legally imported from canada" 2013 Jeep Wrangler from a large us non-Jeep dealer in 2016. It had 55k miles so it would have been out of warranty. Recently, I had the pab recall work done at a local Jeep dealership. About a month later, my airbag light started coming on intermittently. Because of the timing of the recall work, I went back to that dealership to have them diagnose/see if they were the cause/etc. . They diagnosed it as needing the clockspring. I have been told by two local Jeep dealerships and the folks at 1-877-amjeep that even though the extended warranty on the clockspring applies to all nafta market vehicles, they wont fix it under warranty. I was actually told, ". . . The warranty it didn't have at the time it crossed into the us was voided, thus nullifying any future extended warranty that could would have covered other parts. " fca did this extended warranty nonsense to avoid a recall, and if they arent honoring the extended warranty, then there ought to be a recall on the clockspring. My airbag is non functioning due to a manufacturing defect and fca wont fix it. I cannot be the only person that is adversely affected by this.
Recently had my traction control and air bag lights illuminate, at the same time my horn quit, steering wheel controls no longer work and cruise control is out. After some research, I am quite sure it's a faulty clock spring.

Approximately the end of June the airbag light came on, made appointment with red bluff Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 545 adobe road red bluff, CA. 96080. Phone # (530) 840-2901. The soonest they could fit me in was July 19th @ 10:00am. Invoice states as follows; 97549 1. 00 verified concern of airbag lamp on has active dtc b1b02 driver airbag said #1 open. Removed airbag installed miller 8443 srs simulator into clockspring airbag leads dtc goes stored unplug srs tool and reinstalled airbag lamp comes back on same dtcs. Driver airbag will need to be replaced. Dealership was unable to answer if the airbag would deploy while driving or if the airbags would even go off in an accident, its their belief the system shuts down when there is a code. I have only gone to one dealership as mentioned above. Approximately $1,000. 00 for the part alone. Problem is unresolved.
The control buttons on the steering wheel for speed control and radio and menu for the odometer plus the horn started working only part-time. If you wiggle or turn the steering wheel 90 degrees sometimes everything will work. The airbag light also comes on indicating there is an airbag problem. This sometimes will go away with the right wiggle of the steering wheel. The service department said it is a bad clockspring on the steering column. There is a recall on this (s40) but not listed on my Jeep. This started about 6 months ago and has gotten progressively worse.

The airbag clock spring is not working. I've had nothing but problems with this Jeep. It's becoming too expensive to keep up with all the problems plus an expensive car note. This has been the most expensive car I had and had given me more repair problems then any other vehicle.
Horn does not work and steering column controls are not functioning. Unsure if airbag works.

When you pull onto the road it starts to hit the brakes and when you try to hit the gas it still hits the gas then the abs comes on than the anti slip comes on and than the other one comes on like you are going down the hill comes on.

Takata recall. Airbagrecall. Com tells me I'm at risk but does not list a recall for my vehicle at this time.
Clock spring failure. When stationary the instrument cluster is showing an airbag alert and all control buttons in the steering wheel except cruse control have failed. When the left spoke of the steering wheel is rotated counter clockwise to the 2 o'clock position the airbag alert turns off and all buttons work but only in that position. No difference when in motion except a ding when the steering wheel is turned past a certain position.

Vehicle upon leaving a store, (just began to rain hard), the lights, wipers, cruise control, horn, and all functions on the steering wheel and left and right stalk stopped working. I assume the airbag is also not functional. No codes were registered in the vehicle for malfunction either. It has been a week and it is still not functioning. Possibly the clock spring which was recalled for 2007-2012, but 2013+ vehicles were excluded even though it is the same part used in the later model vehicles. Huge safety hazard!.
Contacted Chrysler concerning my 2013 Jeep Wrangler clock spring assembly "air bag harness" that was giving red light on dash. They have stated that my VIN number was not part of recall. My Jeeps mfr date falls within the specifics of the recall on this part. It has been diagnosed by the Chrysler dealership that in fact that was the issue and they will not fix this problem. When vehicle wa purchased and taken back to Chrysler within 30 days dealership wanted to charge 700 dollars to repair. Someone please help me hold Chrysler accountable to fix this safety problem.
