Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Just purchased this vehicle and it has the airbag light light on after warranty period ended. After getting it looked at they told me it the clock spring that need to be replaced. This is my 4th chrysler vehicle in the last 10 years. I have had to replace 3 clock springs in these vehicle. I looked online many people are facing the same problem, this should be a recall. The dealership wants $500 for the repairs. The vehicle has not been in any accident or any faults beside this manufacture defect. Please look into this matter there are many of us that have the airbag light on this should be a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. When starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 131,000. Updated 06/14/16
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the clock spring would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the required part not being available. The part was on back order. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
The speed control failed, shortly after that the airbag warning light illuminated. Jeep service had to replace the clock spring to fix the issues. The airbag warning light was intermittent, it would eliminate whenever the stirring wheel was turned and then reset shortly after returning to center. If any force was applied to the stirring wheel I.e. Gently pulling on it or pushing on it it would also cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. The speed control failure was complete. It would not activate at all after failure.
The air bag light turned on and when the steering wheel is turned and hit any bump the light dings and stays on
My air bag light was coming on and off when car was running and would ding when it came on. Took it to my dealer and was told that they found that the clock spring was bad. I was also told that if I didn't get it fixed my air bag would work.
Airbag warning light intermittently goes off and on at all speeds/driving conditions. This would be attributed to the clock spring that has been recalled on right side steering models only. I hardly think there would be a difference in the defective part on left hand models either as it is the same part. It would be negligent not to recall all of these. Looking at complaints and online forums this seems to be a very common issue.
Airbag light comes on intermittently. Dealership states that $550 to replace the clockspring which has a recall for a small manufacture date. Still a problem with the other models after the recall which jeep fails to fix. Even after contacted jeep they don't seem to care.
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, 2009, and 2010 jeep wrangler 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 2009 jeep wrangler 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."
2009 jeep wrangler airbag light illuminates on instrument compartment. This is the result of a clock spring which has been known to jeep for years. Very much a shame that the us gov't right-hand drive jeeps are covered by a clock spring recall but not left handed driven jeeps. It is the same part on the left or right which gets dust on the lubricated and unsealed clock spring. The guess jeep is willing to fix the government jeeps made the same way because of the national safety administration and the lack of support for us consumers I hope jeep takes a hit on this one publicly in the media if they do not fix. This same part was recalled in earlier models but somehow the same part is ok in later models if it is on the left-side and not the right-side of the jeep. Jeeps are not made to get dusty I guess.
