AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND TURN OFF FOR 5 SECOND TO 1 MINUTES AND COME BACK ON. NOW LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON. THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.

TAKATA RECALL . I WAS GIVEN A RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN 2016 . THE JEEP DEALER IN N MIAMI SAID THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WILL NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARRIVE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN 1 YEAR. I AM MOST APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAJOR ROADS . THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE . PLEASE ADVISE
OVER THE LAST 2 YEAR, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY JEEP. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THAN START WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THAN DO IT AGAIN. MORNING, AFTERNOON, WHEN RAINING OR SNOWING, IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. STARTING 3 DAYS AGO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THAN WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. TODAY, I HAD IT CHECKED AT WORK AND IT CAME UP AS THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I DROVE TO BIG O DODGE IN GREENVILLE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST BLEW ME OFF TELLING ME THAT THEIR IS NO RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. BUT I HAPPENED TO KNOW ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN THERE THAT TOLD ME ON MY WAY OUT THAT THEY ARE HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. SO I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE AND COME ACROSS A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAIN ON FORUMS CONCERNING MY ISSUES AND THAN CAME ACROSS YOUR WEB SITE. [XXX], PHONE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
I NOTICED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THAT ON OCCASION, NO PARTICULAR SPEED OR INCIDENT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD INDICATE ON THAT DASH FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG EVEN WHEN NO ONE AND NOTHING WOULD BE SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT. DURING ONE OF MY OIL CHANGE/SERVICE APPOINTMENTS THAT I REGULARLY KEEP I ASKED IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND HAD STATED IT MAY JUST BE AN ELECTRICAL SENSOR ISSUE IN THE SEAT ITSELF THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED WITH AN UNSUBSTANTIATED WEIGHT PLACED IN THE SEAT, SUCH AS A BAG OR SMALL CHILD, THAT AFFECTED THE SENSOR WAS NOT RATED FOR. I WAS DOING A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY VEHICLE, NONE LISTED, BUT NOTICED COMPLAINTS FILED FOR MANY VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR. DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: MAY 23, 2011 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: NOV 07, 2011 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11019 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS I'M SIMPLY FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO INDICATE MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE INDICATED AND IF ANY ACTION IS TAKEN TO CORRECT IT I'D LIKE TO BE ALERTED SO AS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN HOT CONDITIONS THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT COMES ON AND CONTINUES TO DING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SENSOR CHANGED AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT. *TR
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY AT THIS TIME. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK EITHER. THE CLOCK SPRING WILL NEED TO BE PLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE COST OF $500. 00. *TR
DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME SERIES OF JEEP (2007-2011WRANGLER) . AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. AS THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IN CURRENT AUTOMOBILES I WOULD EXPECT THERE WOULD BE SOME INVESTIGATION INTO MULTIPLE FAILURES. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
