LAST YEAR (2016) I HAD A PIECE OF PLASTIC (LOOKS LIKE TAPE) COMING OUT BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING COLUMN WHILE DRIVING ON OUR LOCAL STREET. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS WIRES AT FIRST. THIS WIRE 'TAPE' EVENTUALLY BROKE WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE A WORKING AIRBAG, HORN, ETC. BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE LAST FALL (2016) AND WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING CAUSED THIS AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. PUT THE JEEP IN THE GARAGE FOR THE WINTER AND TODAY (3/2/2017) CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER GIVING THEM THE VIN # I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DIDN'T APPLY TO MY JEEP WRANGLER. BTW IT ONLY HAD 40,920 MILES ON IT!

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS CHIMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING! BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE AIRBAG IS NOT MAKING CONNECTION DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING! CHRYSLER ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR "CERTAIN MODEL YEARS" OF COURSE 2008 WASN'T COVERED! THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT CONSIDERING IT'S BEEN A PROBABLY RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY! I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS CHRYSLER! THE PEOPLE SUPPORT YOU NOW IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT US BACK!

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.

THIS COMPLAINT REFERS TO THE EXISTING AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING FAILURE BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER EA 15-007 AND PREVIOUSLY PE 15-025. IT IS ALSO CLOSELY RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL 11V258 WHICH INVOLVES THE SAME PART FAILURE. LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF MY 2007-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS THE CLOCKSPRING UNIT IN MY VEHICLE HAS INDICATED IT HAS FAILED WITH THE ABS ERROR CODE B1B02 - "DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN". THE ISSUE HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND HAS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 55,000 MILES AND DURING MY OWNERSHIP IT HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED TO EXTRANEOUS ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED OF MY ISSUE (CASE # 29226734) BUT DID NOT PROVIDE OR OFFER REMEDY.

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) 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 MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

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. THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. 2007 JEEPS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS AND IT IS A FAULTY COIL SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. 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.

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.

WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. LIGHT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, GOES OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN REPEATS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT DRIVING. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME CLOCKSPRING FAILURE THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR RHD VEHICLES, AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS PART FOR PREVIOUS YEAR (2007) LHD VEHICLES. SINCE THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO FAIL, I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL WRANGLERS WITH THIS CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY, NOT JUST RHD.

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM. THEN THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH THE SEATBELT WAS FASTENED. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE DRIVING LIGHTS WERE ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT LIGHT AT ALL; AND THE TURN INDICATOR DID A FAST BLINK. THE DEALER BELIEVES THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING HAS A SHORT AND CAUSED THE OTHER ELECTRICAL FAULTS. SO THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A NON-FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG, AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FAILURE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE MODEL ON JEEPS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS VIN YET. *TR

GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK I OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE HORN STARTS BLOWING, WIPER FLUID SQUIRTING CONTINUOUSLY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONSTANTLY GOING THAT HAVE NOW SCRATCHED MY HOOD, INTERNAL LIGHTS BLINKING, RADIATOR/COOLANT FAN GOING, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AS THEY PLEASE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, AND HEAT STOPS WORKING. I HAD TO GET MY BOYFRIEND TO DISCONNECT MY HORN BECAUSE AT 7 A.M. IT IS VERY EMBARRASSING TO WAKE THE NEIGHBORS! I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. NOW I CAN SOMETIMES GET IT TO STOP BY SLAPPING THE FUSE BOX COVER. AT TIMES MY CAR WON'T SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY TAKEN OUT SO I HAVE TO LET IT JUMP IN FIRST GEAR WHILE PUSHING THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I ALMOST REAR ENDED A CAR IN THE DAYCARE PARKING LOT AS WE ALL PARALLEL PARK TO GET TO THE FRONT DOOR. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO AND NOW THAT IT IS GETTING DARKER EARLIER I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRANSPORTING MY CHILD WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE WAY TO PICK HER UP LAST NIGHT 11/12/14. THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN IN COLDER WEATHER AND IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS WORKING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO WAIT ALMOST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING BUT ACT NORMAL FOR THEM. I SEE THIS BEING A COMMON ISSUE WITH WRANGLERS LATELY AND AM WAITING FOR THE ANSWER ON THE PETITION AND INVESTIGATION BEFORE I DECIDE IF THIS IS WORTH FIXING AND KEEPING. NOT SAFE AT ALL! *TR
