2000 Jeep Wrangler: airbag warning light

Filed Aug 12, 2020 · Electrical · 171,150 miles · PA

While driving down the road, speed doesn't matter bc it has happened at multiple speeds, the speedometer and tachometer will drop to nothing, while the other gauges like gas, oil pressure, temperature and such do not have any issues and remain where they should be! A few seconds after the speedometer and tachometer drop, the engine light comes on and the odometer will read 'no bus', a few seconds to a minute later the gauges will resume and the engine light and 'no bus' disappear! Another example of this is the speedometer and tachometer will drop and other gauges not be affected like previous scenario only with this one the airbag light will illuminate, lasts for a brief period and then goes back to normal! It happens sporadically, but have noticed it happens more on bumpy roads! None of this has happened while the vehicle is stationary at idle! All while driving down the road, various speeds, various types of roadways!

For as long as I can remember the air bag light has come on and remained on. I have always figured it was just a problem with the light. I was recently told that if the warning light is on the air bag will not work. I did not find any recalls regarding air bags but I see various complaints regarding air bags in the jeep wrangler and this concerns me. I am printing these complaints and bringing the vehicle to a dealer before selling it. I want to assure the safety of any future drivers.

While backing out of a parking spot at local shopping center the steering wheel felt as if it bound up and an spring sound occurred and the airbag light came on. As it was to late to contact the dealer I called them on monday morning and they arranged for me to have it checked on tuesday. On investigation they found the airbag clock spring to be broken and ordered the part, which I paid for. On thursday I drove my jeep back to the dealer to have the spring replaced and although the spring was broken it did not fix the problem and the service writer told me it was a chaffed wire in the steering column and that the airbag should have deployed but it did not! She then told me that it would cost me to $500 to $1600 to repair the problem. I assumed this was a safety related item and as such should have been covered . She checked with the district rep for chrysler later in the day and they claim nothing could be done for me although the jeep only has 40578 miles on it and I could not have gotten into the steering column to chafe the wire. As of now I have a loaner vehicle while they check into how to proceed.

About a year after purchasing my jeep wrangler I noticed that my airbag light would come on for a while and then go out repeatedly. I thought that it was just a faulty bulb and for the most part ignored it. Then it started staying on all the time, so yesterday, after the horn quit and all the fuses were intact, I had it checked,by a mechanic. The mechanic stated that it's failure was being caused by a faulty clockspring which is a common problem on jeep wranglers. And after researching this on the internet, I found this to be correct. However I only see where the recall is listed only for previous years. But if you read some of the feedback left on the jeep websites this is an ongoing problem. I am going to have the part replaced, but I would like to know if the 2000 wrangler is included in a recall for this problem ? Thanks.....g.d.gray.

Dt: yesterday the air bag light came on I and the horn stopped working. I was not under recall, dealer going to charge consumer for repairs. Last week the same thing happened with dodge caravan. They were both chrysler products ,and the dodge had a recall. However the jeep did not.
