2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 airbags complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This is a known and common problem with the jeep wrangler. They have already recalled the 2007 model years for faulty and poorly designed clock springs and have made a replacement part that is much better. They have recalled the 2008 only right hand drive jeeps. This is a huge safety concern giving the fact that it affects the cruise control, air bags, and horn. Shame on them for not wanting to correct and repair a major safety issue!
During normal driving airbag indicator light fails to extinguish. Diagnostics is a failed airbag clockspring.
The airbag warning light started going on and off. I was informed by a chrysler service representative that it was due to a faulty clock spring and that my air bags were inoperative.

I was sitting in my driveway in park with my vehicle running and my air bag light came on. It is a bad clock spring causing the issue.there have been numerous other 2008 models with same problem a bad clock spring. Chrysler will no fix this on left hand drive vehicle only rhd.. I took this from a forum where I guy called chrysler. (I have a lifetime warranty and pretty much jeep told me to go pound sand on it. They know of the problem and until forced by the nhtsb or whomever that is they said, they will not warranty it at all.)
Airbag light and chime come on intermittently, but nearly constantly. This indicates that the airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. Based on online research, the likely cause is that the clock spring has gone bad, and this is a common problem for jeep wranglers from 2007 to present. There is not, however, a recall that covers the replacement of the clock spring, so owners are stuck with a bill to the tune of $500 if the want to fix it and have working airbags.
The airbag warning light is illuminated and sounds a random chime, has never been in an accident.
Clock spring is bad causing the air bags not to work.

Driver side air bag warning light stays on indicating a faulty clock spring. This vehicle is designed to be driven offroad in dusty conditions which is what causes the clock spring to fail. Poor design!
Airbag lamp illuminates whenever turning indicating a faulty airbag clockspring. This error is a common occurrence every time vehicle is in motion. This compromised circuit is a safety hazard to driver in the event of an accident preventing the airbag from deploying.
Clock spring fail at 52000. No airbag at an out if pocket cost of five hundred dollars. Can't fix.
Clock spring faulty, generating warning light, possible failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the clock springs that was directly connected to the air bag system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
On the 2008+ jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on periodically 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.

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 dealer say is not in warranty but in the file complaint # pe11019 say 10 year or 150000 miles. I want to know I can do.
Why would you install a non protected/enclosed clock spring switch in a jeep which is made for off road, is a convertible which is exposed to dust and weather. So I can buy and have new parts installed after each outing, and also have the possibility of an accident with out the protection of an air bag???

As I was driving my jeep the airbag driver warning light comes on and off randomly. I am worried that my airbag is not working and may not deploy if in an accident or worse case may deploy on it own. I called chrysler corp. Office and was told there is nothing that can be done except to take it to a dealer and I would have to pay to have it repaired. There is a recall on rhd jeeps for 2008 but not the lhd's.
While on my normal daily drive home from work, the airbag warning dash lamp illuminated with chime. Since then it has been constantly turning on and off and chiming with the turning of my steering wheel. Which I believe is directly related with the well known clock spring issue that hundreds of similar jeep models have been experiencing for several years. Upon reading the multiple complaints regarding this issue, its not a matter of if, but when will this part fail...
2nd bad air bag/ steering clock spring failure that causes air bag light to come on and disable airbags on vehicle. See there is a recall on the right hand drive, which uses the same part as the left hand drive. My first one went out at approximately 20,000 miles and was warrantied. This time at 65,000 miles, it is not a warranty item, but is an obvious defect that has disabled the safety devices of the vehicle.
Airbag light on, airbag has never deployed. Understand this is in ongoing problem resulting in recall on some jeep models. Was told that airbag is functional but switch goes off saying it needs to be replaced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. There was a recall related to the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 13v176000 (air bags), however the recall pertained to right-hand drive vehicles only. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Vehicle air goes on and off with chime when driving since about feb of this year it is on all the time which means the air bags won't work my 17 year old daughter drives this vehicle.
Airbag warning light comes on with a chime. Sometimes the light will go off for a minute or two then come back on with a chime. A few times the horn didn't work. The chime and light go on and off the hole time I'm driving. I called my local dealer and they said there is no recall for this problem right hand drive vehicles have a recall but not left hand. I looked on-line and most posts say it's a faulty clock spring within the vehicle's steering wheel. Chrysler is not issuing a recall at this time. This faulty spring can cause a failure of the airbags from deploying or deploy prematurely. How many people are going to have to die before they fix the problem.

I am having a problem with my integrated power module (ipm). It is causing my safety bag lght to come on (not knowing if it would deploy) but that is not the only problem with the module. It's also causing my front lights to come on when the car is off and I am getting electrical shocks every time I touch my door. The most important issue is it sometimes turns off or I can't turn it on because my electronics goes completely off. I know this because when it happens I go into the box remove and replace the cable or plugs and it starts working. I would hate this to happen when I'm driving, which would cause my power steering and shifting to lockup leaving me with no options and maybe with no safety bag. I know this to be true because the vehicle has turned off on me when I was leave my parking space at work. I could not turn or shift the vehicle because all the electronic turned off. I have already replace my battery terminal cable (battery to the ipm) due to corrosion.
