Tipm- door locks shorted out, fuel pump quits stranding the vehicle on the street, will not restart without pulling and resetting the iod fuse, causes airbag light to flash fault, rear wiper quits. This makes the vehicle unsafe or unable to be used. Vehicle was bought new and wouldn't think much about this if through research I had not found how many failures experienced by many have been related to this parts failure rate. Parked the vehicle and when went to restart it it would not resart, then the doors started locking and unlocking repeatedly locking me out of the vehicle with the keys in it. I reset the iod fuse and it started. Then going down the highway the warning lights in the dash started flashing, airbag, tcs, anti theft, tire pressure, ABS, stability control all came on then vehicle shut off. It would start then run for a few seconds and die. Through research I found this to be related to the anti theft in the tipm-. Tried replacing the door lock fuse and it started arcing and smoking. Vehicle is parked now with a tipm- on order. As stated previously, I bought this jeep new and if it was not such a widespread issue with chrysler products I woul not think much about a part failure at ten years.

In october 2016 took my car in for oil change and the dealership advised me of a recall of clock spring. I have had my car in 4 times for faulty clock springs. My airbag lights and horn go off at random times sometimes my horn never works and my air bag light goes crazy with the horn...like the car is possessed.

Air bag light goes on and off while driving. My issue seems consistent with recalls due to clock spring failure in right hand model jeeps. Call to chrysler confirmed as such, but they won't commit to fix until recall investigation underway is concluded.

Air bag light comes on and off randomly. A recall was issued but not for this VIN.

Air bag light is on. Horn and cruise also quit working when this occurred. Rear ended a lady last fall and airbag failed to deploy, not sure it should have but still didn't. Can not ever fill the gas tank full due to fuel spilling out of the fill tube onto the ground, can get slightly more that 3/4 full.

Just pulled out of the driveway. Turned right and the airbag warning light went off. And now continues to go off and ding every couple of minutes.

Airbag light constantly on and digging. Horn intermittently does not work. Happens right when you turn the ignition on and start the vehicle and does not go away until ignition is turned off.

I am also having a problem with my airbag light. Computer code gives the b1b06- clock spring, which jeep has recalled for rhd but not lhd. This makes no sense, seeing as how many people are having issues with this as well. I've contacted jeep numerous times to complain. This is an expensive fix, a factory product safety issue that jeep should cover! Not only is the constant warning sound a nuisance every other minute, but when the light is on the airbag is disabled. Jeep, take responsibility.

Possible faulty clock spring issue as seen in many other jeep wranglers made after 2007. Airbag light comes on with audible warning every other minute and signals the driver that there could be a failure of the airbag or early deployment. This is a known issue by jeep but they have chosen to only pursue right hand drive rhd jeeps even though many complaints have been issued by left hand drive lhd jeep owners as well. Jeep admitted the original clock springs were failing and said they were working on a new one. I called jeep yesterday and was told it would not be covered, but that I should hang on to my bills in case it ever becomes covered. I only have 30,500 miles on my jeep. Many owners have gone through this and only a few have been taken care of. This is a factory product safety issue that should be covered by jeep.

The airbag clock spring in my 2008 jeep wrangler has stopped working. I took it to a mechanic after noticing the airbag light coming on and he said the clock spring has stopped functioning, and if I were to get in an accident it would not deploy and I would probably be killed. Called my local dealer and they said I would have to pay out of pocket for the fix because there are no recalls for my year. Chrysler needs to be the one to fix this safety issue because airbags are not a wear and tear part and should be made properly

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.
