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.
2009 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Air bag chime continuously chiming. Dealer said clock spring is bad.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle had a faulty electrical current/clockspring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,000.
My airbag warning light illuminated for no reason. I looked this up on the jeep sight and this was a recall in right side steering wheel jeeps of the same age. Online numerous jeep owners blog about a similar concern. I contacted jeep and they indicated it was not a concern, contrary to the common concerns on jeep forums. Soon after the recalls began to occur so I thought it prudent to express my concern.
I am having a problem with my airbag light turning on and off repeatedly and dinging at me every time the light turns on. This problem just started after owning my vehicle since I drove it off the lot in early 2009. Upon research this is a very common problem that involves a very expensive part called the clockspring. There are numerous reports of this problem. This is a dealer only part.
Air bag light turns on then goes off. Drive awhile, air bag light turns on turns off. There is a recall for right drive vehicles only. They need to make it effective for left drive vehicles as well. Dealer states its covered for right drive only vehicles not left drive vehicles. I know the postal service do not own jeep wranglers.
Air bag warning light and alarm came on for no reason. It now stays on indicating the air bags will not operate. Same problem LED to a recall for right hand drive but not left hand drive models. Guess the usps employees, safety is more important than the average consumer's???
I have a 2009 jeep wrangler rubicon. The airbag light has recently come on along with a beeping every few minutes. We took it to the dealer and they told us it sounds like a bad clock spring, an estimated $500-$600 to fix. There have been recalls on this part in 2007 and we believe it needs to be recalled for newer models as well.
Clock spring has gone out on my jeep wrangler unlimited. Chrysler won't issue a recall on this but I have read and see many people having the same issues as me. Frustrating they won't stand behind their product and have these replaced.
On the 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4 (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.the ABS esp and bas lights come on when going over a bump, having a car wash or going around a corner. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4 (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. It's all over the web on various online jeep forums.this faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2009 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4 (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. I have spent over $1000 replacing parts and getting the jeep chrysler certified technicians to diagnose the issue and resolve it but to date they have not and the lights are still on.
My airbag warning light came on and has mostly stayed on for two weeks. I took it to my mechanic who has told me that the airbag clockspring sensor in the steering column is defective and it will cost between $500-$600 to replace. This same part has been recalled on some earlier models of rh drive wranglers and 2007 lh drive models, however, it is happening in 2008-newer lh models as well, but nothing is being done to replace these. We would like to have our model years covered by the recall/replacement as well.

While driving home today doing about 20 MPH still accelerating my airbag light came on with a ding, stayed on for about 15 seconds turned off, then turned back on again with a ding then remained on. Upon looking up this problem I was told it is my clockspring and I also discovered that this is a recurring problem in all 2007-2011 jeep wranglers. So far jeep has only recalled clocksprings on government issue right hand drive train jeeps and put an extended warranties on the 2007 wranglers clocksprings. You'd think they'd want to keep the individuals voting in their government officials just as safe as the government workers themselves. When hundreds upon thousands of jeep owners reach out online to discover what their problem is and all come to the same conclusion and yet jeep refuses to see the safety issues in a malfunctioning piece of factory installed equipment that causes airbags to either deploy at random or not deploy at all in the event of a collision or accident. Jeep chrysler has truly turned into a malicious corporation more concerned with their bottom line than the lives of the people putting money in their pockets. This is unacceptable pure and simple, protect the people that keep you in business not just the government workers.
My airbag light came on and horn would randomly honk. Dealer advised they fixed the clock spring. This occurred approximately four years ago; however, it is doing it again. Mine is left hand drive. Right hand drives were recalled and it makes no sense for the others not to have been recalled when it is doing it again!! When it was repaired the first time, dealer did not have updated part. I'm now penalized and have to pay out of my pocket for chrysler's faulty part. I read the recall and rhd units because they have windows down and this is "severe duty." please understand this is a poorly sealed convertible and dust is simply part of a jeep wranglers existence. Either way, the problem should not be limited to rhd; it should include all those that manifest the problem or see similar severe duty.
While driving on a city street my air bag light illuminated and I got an audible chime. The light would turn on and off every 10-15 miles and chime each time. Now, nearly a month later, the light stays on almost all the time. Through online research, I've found that the likely cause of this is the clock spring in the steering column. It looks like if it's not corrected there is a possibility that the air bag won't go off in the case of a collision. I know that certain year model of the wrangler are covered by a previous recall. I'd really like to see the recall extended to all year models that utilized the same defective part.
My airbag lights keeps turning off and on at different times. Looked online to see jeep has issued a recall on most veichles air bag clockspring. I called my dealer and I was told I am not covered under the recall due to where my jeep was made. So that being said a company that took our tax payers dollars and got bailed out cant help make sure a jeeper owners airbags will work!
The airbag clock spring in the steering column has malfunctioned causing airbags to be disabled. This is a very wide spread issue on 07-2011 jeep wranglers, well documented on many owner boards. An official recall exists, but only for rhd models and 2007 lhd models. That is in spite of the fact that the failure prone oe part was used on wrangler models through 2011. The part number of the improved design replacement part is 5156106ac, which services all wrangles 2007-2014.
Starting on 12/23/2013, the airbag sensor dinged and became lit on dash, remains lit for about 8 seconds, dings and disappear only to reappear again with a ding in about 8 seconds. This repeats the entire time while driving. Contacted nw jeep/chrysler and they informed this writer it is likely the clock spring and the airbag will not deploy if needed. The dealership continued of a price around $250 to fix it. I find it hard to believe, knowing 07 and 08 jeeps have this same issue, that this writer would be responsible for fixing a faulty sensor imperative for safety.
2009 jeep wrangler left hand drive. The airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime. This is an indication that there is malfunctioning or interfering in the vehicle's airbag system. After researching this on the internet, it appears to be a recurring problem. The clockspring in the steering column is faulty and needs to be replaced. The warranty was extended on the right hand drive vehicles to 150,000 miles, yet there is no effort on chrysler's part to address the left hand drive vehicles. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007 - 2012 jeep wrangler owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring in the vehicle's steering wheel. The faulty clock spring is a potential airbag failure in the 2009 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Chrysler has addressed the issue in the 2007 right hand drive wranglers but will not address the issue in any of the 2009-2012 left hand drive wranglers. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue. Chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clock spring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags.
The air bag light continually comes on. No accidents. Dealer told me it was clockspring and is was only covered under basic warranty which is now expired. I didn't know safety related components are only warranteed for 36mo, 36k miles. Tell that to my three year old who rides in this vehicle daily with me.

This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007-2010 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. In conversations with my dealership as well as chrysler, there was an extended warranty (10yr/150,000mi) issued to the 2007 model year and a recall issued for 2008 (rhd) models. For any other model years, chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring, knowing that it can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying, thus putting vehicle occupants at risk. This has been going on for approx a week at this point, at varying speeds and varying road conditions. Being that I drive approx 30,000mi per year, this is a major concern!

Esp/bas check engine light on, took it to the dealership, they said it was a bad clock spring, they fixed it since it was just under the 50k mile warranty, three weeks later I was over the 50k warranty and the light came on again, took it back and it was the clock spring again dealership fixed it again then a bit over a year later it went again, I don't go off roading or anything crazy now I have to drop 600 bucks (parts+labor) to fix it again in order to make sure the airbag goes off in the event of an accident crazy this is not a recall yet, a common jeep problem that effects airbags and suspension.
