Air bag light comes on and off randomly. A recall was issued but not for this VIN.
2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Air bag dash light would come on while driving straight but would go off while turning a corner. Dealer diagnosed problem as a "clock spring" and charged me $384.20 (p&l) to replace it on 3/12/15
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.
This is the same issue for the right hand drive models that you already made jeep extend the warranty on. The clock spring is faulty and requires replacements over the life of the vehicle. Just make the same warranty available for the left hand drive models. We are not in england, we drive from the left side.......
The clock spring failed and now the airbag, horn, and cruise control does not work. It started with a clicking noise in the steering column when turning, then after a popping noise everything mentioned stopped working. After research there are a lot of people with the same exact issue but no recall has been issued.
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.
When driving in a straight direction at any speed the airbag light comes on. The light will go out when turning but will come back on when the wheel is straight again. Also the horn will not sound ( no fuse are blown) problem believed to be clock spring.
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.
Air bag failure. Light comes on and alarm. Dealer said there is no recall. This is expensive to fix and it is a safety issue. I see recall for right hand drive but no left hand drive.
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.

Airbag light started to go on and off including a warning sound around 40,000 miles. It comes on and stays on for a while and then goes off and comes back on. Believed to be related to the clockspring.
Clock-spring failed, airbags inoperative
Airbag warning light coming on intermittently when turning the steering wheel to the right. Horn working intermittently and cruise control unexpectedly turning off.all issues seem to be happening while moving and turning.
My check airbag light in intermittently lighting and chiming. After some research the problem matches exactly with a clock spring problem that was issued recalls for the 2007 model and the 2008 right-hand drive models. Mine is a 2008 left hand drive with no recall on the exact same problem and part as the others.
The air bag light came on and dings every 30 secs, the horn doesn't work. I made an apt with the dealership there was no sense of urgency to get me in, dropped it off on a friday to be told to bring it back today. They quickly diagnosed the problem as air bag clockspring wiring failure and explained if I were in an accident the air bags would not deploy. This is a $420.00 fix to repair a safety issue, and lucky for me they happen to have the part just laying around. Sounds to me that this is a common problem with jeep. Jeep has a recall for right hand drive vehicles but not for the left like I have.
Clockspring failure resulting in airbag light/alarm going on intermittently while driving.
My 2008 wrangler rubicon has airbag warning light illuminated warning bell ringing. The light and bell ring after vehicle is started and in motion. It will occasionally reset but then return after a few minutes of driving. It happens under all conditions of driving. Trouble code indicates airbag issue. Dealer states clockspring is defective. I'm very concerned that air bags won't deploy or may falsely deploy and possibly injure me or my passengers.after looking into this it appears that hundreds of fellow jeep owners are experiencing the same clockspring failure issue. I believe this to be a recall issue by the mfg. This complaint is to be considered as a formal complaint/concern about a safety issue and will be a record in the event that said part failure is responsible for death or injury
The airbag light started blinking and dinging on and off every 30 seconds or so. When diagnosed at dealership they are saying it's a clock spring malfunction.
My airbag sensor is continuously coming on and off. I noticed that there is a recall on right hand drive vehicles but I suspect there is something to this. As well...my electrical system is always on the fritz. Some days the radio works...some days it doesn't. My engine light is constantly on and no one finds anything wrong with the engine...
When turning on the vehicle the air bag warning light illuminated and has remained illuminated since. The light intermittently goes out when the steering wheel is at or near full deflection in either direction. Based on my research it is likely a faulty clock spring, which has been recalled in the 2007 model but not 2008, despite it being an identical part installed in a nearly identical vehicle. This indication is a direct issue of safety as it shows there could be a failure of the airbag to deploy in an accident.
Air bag indicator light comes on for no apparent reason. Seems to be more frequent during times of damp conditions or high humidity.
While driving, airbag warning light turns on with a single warning chime. After 5-10 seconds light goes away but returns soon afterwards again remaining on for 5-10 seconds. Seems to occur more during city driving than highway driving. I view this as a safety concern because jeep owner's manual states, "airbag warning light in your instrument panel could mean you wont have the airbags to protect you in a collision." I have also heard this is a common problem on 2008 jeep wranglers.
I turned my jeep on this morning and the airbag light stayed on for a couple of extra seconds, so I say ok. When driving it started going on an off every 10 seconds especially when turning the wheel. Took it to the dealer, they say bad clock spring, so I check for recalls and their is one for the 2007 jeep for clock spring but not for the 2008 model which has practically the same as the 2007. I's an expensive part and it should be a recall for it. I have read about a lot of 2008 models having the same problem I have.
The airbag light and chime come on intermittently and the fault reads drivers squib. It is related to a clock spring in the steering column. Jeep has recalled the 2007 model year wranglers and 2008 rhd wranglers but not the lhd. It is a major safety issue since this is what controls the drivers airbag in a crash. Jeep needs to recall these vehicles and make the needed repairs. If you look on different web sites there are thousands of owners complaining about the same issue. America what happened to being responsible for your actions, lets pass the buck some more and play the blame game. Enough jeep stand up and take responsibility after all your brand name is on the product.
The air bag light came on. Checked codes. Code for air bag clockspring. Jeep recalled 2007 model wranglers for this problem. Same part numbers as newer jeep clocksprings. Why hasn't jeep extended the warranty on the newer jeep models.seems like a safety issue that slot or jeep wranglers are experiencing.
Airbag light keeps turning off and on for no reason.
Airbag warning light came on, blinking intermittently, indicating a loss of communication with the airbag circuit., issue appears to be a bad airbag clockspring assembly. Jeep has recalled rhd vehicles of the same model year, but not lhd.
