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.

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!

On the 2008 jeep wrangler (left hand drive) 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 (clock spring).this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2008 jeep wrangler (left hand drive) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for airbag failure in the 2008 jeep wrangler (left hand drive) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around, horn failure, elec. Stability control, cruise control (if equipped), failure in turn signals, and difficulty with steering . Chrysler has refused to address this safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause most importunely failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying. Chrysler has made a recall for the 2007 jeep wrangler and certain 2008 right hand drive jeep wranglers. Chrysler states that the 2008+ left hand drive jeep wranglers are unaffected by their faulty clock springs, which is not the case for my motor vehicle and several others like myself.

Cruise control stopped working. I got a new clock spring from a local 4x4 shop that ordered it through the local dealer. I had the 4x4 shop install the clock spring for me because my local jeep dealer is not a trustworthy dealer in my opinion. Total for the repair was nearly 500 dollars.
