AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME WITH NO KNOWN DAMAGE TO VEHICLE.
MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND TURNING OFF. FINALLY I HAD MY JEEP LOOKED AT AND I CAME BACK THAT THE CLOCKSPRING IS BAD. ITS ABOUT $500 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY. ALSO IT HAD 60,000 MI ON IT AT THE TIME. I'VE BEEN ON JEEP FORUMS AND THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE WITH JEEPS. WHY HAVE THE 08'S BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOT THE 07'S? CAN THIS BE LOOKED INTO PLEASE? I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS AND THEY DONT CARE I WOULD REALLY HATE TO GET INTO A WRECK SEEING HOW I DONT HAVE AIRBAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT AND CHIME KEEP GOING OFF . I DON'T FEEL THAT ITS SAFE AND I'M DOCUMENTING IT IN CASE IT FAILS TO WORK AND I DON'T MAKE IT .
THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THEIR HAS BEEN NO CRASH. IT JUST CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 TTO 2011 JEEP WRANGLERS. THE COST IS ABOUT $500 TO $600 TO FIX.
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. FIRST DAY WAS ABOUT EVERY 20 OR 30 SECONDS BUT BY THE SECOND DAY IT WOULD COME ON STAY ON FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO GO OFF AND COME ON IMMEDIATELY AGAIN. THIS IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE AND WAS PRODUCED 4/07. OBVIOUSLY THE SAME CLOCKSPRING AS THE L37 PROBLEM. CODE 1B06 IS DISPLAYED ON THE CODE READER AT MY MECHANICS SHOP. THE OIL PUMP FAILED ON THIS JEEP AND THE MOTOR SEIZED AT 9100 MILES AND WAS REPLACED. I ALSO HAD ALARM PROBLEMS FROM THE START WHICH WERE NEVER FIXED. I ALMOST HAD IT DECLARED A LEMON BUT GAVE UP. *TR
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 10 SECONDS INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATED THIS MAY BE DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING CLOCKSPRING. THE DEALER I WENT TO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. *TR
FAULTY CLOCKSPRING CAUSING MULTIPLE LIGHTS TO BE ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH. ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THE STEERING ANGLES SENSOR REPLACED WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. *TR
MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON. *JB
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE 6/2011 THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND AUDIBLE BELL GOES OFF. HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND ALSO HAD THEM TRY TO DIAGNOSE VIA COMPUTER. THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE CORRECTLY. LIGHT AND BELL ARE STILL ACTIVATING. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS THAT MAKE THIS ALARM GO OFF. *TR
AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IF I TURN OFF MOTOR, THEN RESTART, AIRBAG LIGHT WILL BE OFF AND AFTER A SHORT TIME LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I AM SURE IT IS A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING. *TR
I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO. *TR
WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (WITH 55000 MILES) "CHIMED" AND THE AIR-BAG , TRACTION CONTROL, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR
ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER MY CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT AND POSED A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY SAFETY. WITH THE CLOCKSPRING OUT OF COMMISSION MY AIRBAGS WOULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. WHEN I WENT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS A WIRING PROGRAM AND THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER WIRES. I TOLD HIM THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE END RESULT WAS THAT I HAD TO PAY $437. *TR
CLOCK SPRING PREMATURE FAILURE. CAUSES HORN TO NOT WORK AND AIR BAGS LIKELY WON'T FUNCTION EITHER. *TR
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CONSTANTLY LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO START HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ONE DAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH, I ALSO BELIEVE WILL PREVENT THE DRIVER AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AS OF YET, TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SEEING THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
BROKEN CLOCKSPRING/ AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. AIRBAGS LIKELY TO NOT WORK-(HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO FIND OUT YET)- NOT COVERED?- WARRANTY EXPIRED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK 2 DOOR 50,000 MILES. *TR
