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 warning light by model year
What owners say
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.
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.
Air bag light and audible alarm coming on, every time I drove the vehicle. I was worried the air bag would deploy accidentally or that it would not deploy if I had an accident. I took to dealer in thomson, ga.paid $594 to have airbag clock sping replaced.
Airbag light goes off and on, driving or sitting
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler 2-door 4x4. While driving at various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the clock spring failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
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.
Faulty clockspring causing horn to not work and airbag light to go on. Was told by dealership that airbag will not work in event of accident.
The air bag light is on. The dealership confirmed it is equipped with a faulty/defective spring. The airbag will not inflate during an accident.
I started my wrangler and the airbag light came on and never went off, it has effected use of my horn as well
