What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 2-dr 4x4. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called a dealer and was informed that the recall remedy parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the issue, but did not offer assistance. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated and a ticking noise could be heard coming from the dashboard. The failure mileage was unknown.
Takata inflators: I receive warranties on the passenger airbag inflator and the airbag clock spring which was perfect because the light has been going on and off for some time. Now I'm being told this is not why the airbag light is on I am being told the driver side airbag has something wrong with it being able to deploy. Would this have anything to do with the clockspring? They are still replacing the recalled parts but my concern is why would this all of a sudden happen when there is issues with the air bags as it stands now?
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!
Air bag warning light and chime with no known damage to vehicle.
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.
Multiple times yesterday, starting with (which I thought nothing of initially) the traction control light turning on while the jeep was in park not moving. Shortly there after while driving straight on a highway about 45-55 MPH a knock or clunk was felt beneath the floor, immediately followed by the eas, traction control, ABS and brake lights illuminated, the airbag light flashed, the wipers running even though they were off, a hard pull to the right and high running/increasing RPM's on a level road with my foot off the accelerator. I hit the hazards, pulled off the road, looked at, in and under the jeep, nothing looked amiss. My husband took over the drive, made it roughly 8-10 miles with out issue and than again everything above but in addition this time the horn blared for probably 2 minutes, if not more, he pulled over shut it off turned it on we went home, waited about 2 hours, drove about 15 blocks city roads with hills and turns less than 25mph round trip and nothing happened. Might be worth mentioning, for the last month or so in high heat 80 degrees and up, it hasn't been starting the first few turns, but the battery is less than 6 months old.
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
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 problem is the totally integrated power module. The front windshield wipers activate on there own with no control. The gauge cluster shuts down and all the dash lights turn on. You loose ability to control turn signals and headlights. The radio turns off. The airbag light comes on. This may occour at any time.
