Airbag warning light goes on and off while driving. Have checked for loose or bad wiring connection externally - none found. Believe that this condition is due defective airbag clockspring wiring failure. Talked with dealer (of little help) - no recall notice, your problem but we can fix. Feel this is a manufacturing defect and should be corrected under warranty/recall process.
2009 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My airbag warning light goes on and off intermittently. This is consistent with the clock spring issue that has been occurring in many 07-12 wranglers. This is an extremely dangerous condition should a frontal impact occur.
While stopped at a light, my jeep's airbag light came on and the warning ding sounded. The light would regularly switch off and on again, every time accompanied by the warning ding when the light turned back on. The light is pretty much always on now, and the warning ding only sounds when I start the vehicle. I had the airbag warning checked out at the local jeep dealership and they have confirmed that the clock spring has failed. The clock spring appears to be a faulty design; chrysler issued a voluntary recall after a previous the federal safety agency investigation (pe11019) but the same part/design is used from 2007 through 2012 in jeep wranglers.
Airbag light goes on and off. Was told by the dealer (jim click) that there is no problem with this item. I need to pay for diagnosis before they can do anything. I informed them of the recall this is being investigated and was told that they can't do anything and was my problem.
Air bag light continuously illuminated, determined clock spring in the steering column was defective. Chrysler has a recall for right hand steering 2009 jeep wranglers and has extended warranty to repair 2007 jeep wranglers with this issue yet has done nothing for other affected models. The failure of this part can result air bags not deploying during an accident. This is a safety issue that puts all customers at risk. Whether the steering is right hand, left hand, 2007 or 2009, they are all affected yet chrysler chooses the same path as gm and their ignition switch issues by recalling or extending warranties to only fix those that they are forced to fix at the expense of the safety of their other customers who have the same defective part in their steering columns. Does the federal safety agency condone this action? Chrysler is clearly aware of the safety issue and should be held accountable should anyone or if anyone has already been injured or killed by this defective part.
Air bag light is repeatedly coming on and off while driving indicating a fault in the air bag system. From reading about this issue online, there appear to be several vehicles with same problem where the clock spring in the steering wheel is faulty and may compromise the air bag. Jeep is refusing to fix it outside of a 3yr or 36000 mile warranty so owners are left to fix the issue involving air bags themselves.
While traveling down a public dirt road (fire road) at approximately 10 MPH a "ding" was heard. When I looked down a the instrument cluster the airbag indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hunter dodge located in palmdale, ca. On 21aug13 where it was diagnosed to have a bad clock spring mechanism.
Vehicles air bag light blinked and alarm sounded. This would go on and off for a few days then stayed on all the time. Vehicle was brought to dealer and they indicated it was a bad clock spring. The repair cost was $507.39 to harr jeep in worcester ma july 13, 2013. I contacted jeep and they indicated although the vehicle and part fell into a recall period, only rh drive vehicles were recalled. This has been a problem with many wranglers, different years and configurations, as well as other jeep vehicles including the cherokee and liberty. Jeep informed me the part was not designed to last for the "life of the vehicle", and therefore was my responsibility. I believe this ongoing problem for jeep extends to my vehicle and many others like it. I have great concern when the primary safety component in the vehicle does not last the life of the vehicle. This safety issue can cause a failure of the airbag system. Jeeps irresponsibility in recalling this puts thousands of drivers at risk each day. The high cost of repair will lead to many operators using the vehicle with the system compromised by this fault. I requested reimbursement from jeep for this repair stating the similarities of my problem to others identified by jeep as recalls. I also shared my concern of consumer safety. Jeep basically said its the owners problem.
Air bag lamp illuminates intermittently. Dealer ran diagnostic on vehicle and determined the clock spring is bad. Part is on back order and maybe a month before in stock. Air bag is deactivated when lamp illuminates. Dealer is not covering repair due to warranty expired.
Two days ago, the air bag warning light on the dash started intermittently illuminating along with an audible chime sounding when ever I turned the steering wheel. Driving straight ahead the light would go out. As of today, the light stays on continuously. After checking with posts on jk-forum.com (forum related to 2007+ jeep wranglers) I found that there is on going issue with the clockspring in the steering wheel area. Multiple people are having the same issue with the same symptoms that my vehicle has exhibited. This is obviously a safety concern on a part/design that chrysler has been having issues with for years. I have seen posts that people have paid upwards of $500 to have this issue fixed. I believe that this should be a tsb and repaired free of charge, or even a recall since it involves the airbag safety system. My vehicle is a jeep wrangler, 2 door, 4x4, left hand drive.
