Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 98,002.
I had to get a coilspring replaced which was defective and causing the air bag warning light to illuminate. The issue was recalled for right hand driven jeeps. All jeeps should be recalled that are affected by this issue and jeep should make the repair free of charge.
On the 2008 jeep wrangler (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.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. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2008 jeep wrangler (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 just turned my car on that morning and my air bag light came on. I took my vehicle to pep boys and they looked up any recalls for my air bags. They found a recall for the air bag clockspring. I then took my wrangler to the chrysler jeep dealership and told them about the recall and my airbag light. They said that my vehicle wasn't on the recall list so it wasn't considered affected. So I paid them to do a diagnostics to figure out what the problem was and they told me it was the clockspring and it needed to be replaced. Despite it being the exact same problem other wranglers were recalled for, they said that they wouldn't cover the repairs and I would have to pay over $600 dollars for them to replace it. My car had less than 65,000 miles on it when this problem occurred. I have looked online and this is a problem that many 2008 and later wranglers have been experiencing. This is a very serious safety concern and there should be a recall to have this fixed.
Air bag light flashes randomly. The inside of the jeep has never been wet or the vehicle has never been in an accident. Clockspring is bad in the steering wheel. This is a widely known jeep wrangler issue and should be a covered recall due to the safety issues created by a non-functioning airbag. The repair costs exceed $500 at the dealer. Look up jk airbag light issues on line for pages of people experiencing the same issue.
Tl * the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speed, the air bag light illuminated and was making a noise. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 55,000.
Pulling out of a parking space the other day and a red airbag light appeared on my dash indicating some sort of airbag fault, also cruise control and horn stopped working. Further research showed that the clock springs are a common failure among jeep wranglers thus making the airbags non operational until repair is made.
The clock spring on these vehicles are notorious for being faulty. Chrysler recalled right hand drive jeeps for this same issue. This disables the horn the cruise control, the airbag, and the electronic stability control. All very important issues in case of an accident.
My airbag light continually comes on and off, indication of a clock spring failure as identified in chrysler recall m31, however that recall for some reason only covers rhd vehicles. My standard 2008 lhd vehicle has the same symptom, along with many other wrangler owners.
Air bag light and chime begun to alert suddenly. The condition has continued with light and chime activating intermittently but with a constant short interval activation.

The air bag light keeps going on an off. I had it checked at the dealer and they stated it was the clockspring that was bad. This is not is not covered under the lifetime powertrain warranty or my lifetime added care plus warranty that I purchased. This is a safety item and should be fixed by chrysler.
My air bag light will turn on and off every couple of minutes.
Air bag light stays lit, with intermittent chime. I took my car to the dealer who told me that I had a faulty clockspring and it needed to be replaced. I asked if it was under warranty or under an active recall. The dealer informed me that the 2007 was recalled for this issue, but the 2008 or later models were not, despite having the exact same part and issue. This issue also affects the horn, as the function of the horn properly working is now intermittent as well. Result of this problem - no airbag and no horn. From what I have read online - a very common problem among jeep owners. Please help jeep owners with this common issue and make chrysler recall this part.

Air bag light goes on and off while driving and turning corners. Chime sounds and horn does not work.
Airbag alarm keep getting triggered.
Driving along on road and the airbag light started coming and going off every couple of minutes and chiming each time.
Airbag sensor light came on. Took vehicle in and was told it is the airbag clock spring. There have been recalls on right side driver installs, which mine is not. However, there are numerous reports that left side driver install is defective as well. Chrysler has given assistance to some customers in replacing the part that were not under the recall, but refused to assist me. It is a well known defect and I believe chrysler should be forced to recall the part on all jeep wranglers, especially admittedly knowing the problem and assisting some people with part replacement but not others.
In the federal safety agency action number :pe11019 date :april 15, 2014 at 01:39 pm chrysler informed odi that it intends to initiate a consumer satisfaction campaign for my2007 lhd wrangler which will extend the cs warranty coverage for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Accordingly the investigation was closed. The air bag warning in my jeep keep was coming on and off; I brought it to the dealer, who determined that the clock spring was defective and that it needed to be replaced. The repair cost over $750; the dealer informed me that despite chrysler representing to the federal safety agency that it would extend the cs warranty coverage for 10 years and 150,000 miles (and securing closure of the investigation), chrysler was not providing the warranty coverage it promised. Please investigate/inquire why chrysler is not doing so! Thank you.
Horn doesn't work, I also get an unknown ding warning sound in the dash, I am afraid my airbag may not work as well. The clockspring must be broken.
Airbag light illuminated due to clockspring failure.
On the 2008 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes stays on steady 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.

The airbag warning light came on in my 2008 jeep wrangler. I contacted jeep and found the problem is not covered by my basic warranty any longer. So I went on line to see if I could fix it myself. I discovered that the most likely cause of this problem is a defective clock spring in the steering column. By reading jeep forums I discovered that this is a common problem in the 2008 jeep and in fact an extended warranty was required of jeep in the right hand drive versions of the vehicle. The apparent justification to exclude the left had drive vehicles is that mail carriers using the right hand version use the jeep with the windows down allowing dirt to enter the vehicle. I remind you that the jeep is marked to folks who will most likely drive the thing off road meaning gravel or dirt roads. Where I live in a desert region of wyoming the dirt roads are usually covered in flour like dust so dirt gets everywhere. I suspect the real reason for allowing chrysler off the hook is the cost involved to warranty the rest of the vehicles. If the cause of the problem is a design defect then all of those vehicles who actually have the problem need the extended warranty. If left hand drive vehicles don?t have the problem then people won?t be asking for repair. It cost around $500 for this repair which many people may neglect causing their death. Why are mail carrier lives more valuable than the rest of us? Please reconsider the decision to disregard the health and welfare of the majority of jeep owners who have left hand drive vehicles at least in this country. I suspect the defective part is defective no matter what side of the vehicle it is installed on.
I was driving home from work and when I exited from the highway, my airbag light came on. It proceeded to come on and go off over the next 15 min on the rest of my drive home. This seems to be a faulty clockspring, which leads to a faulty airbag. This should be covered under the extended 10 year/150,000 mile warranty that covers the 2007 lhd and 2008 rhd jeep wranglers. Whether the steering is on the right or left side of a vehicle should not make a difference when it comes to driver safety.
Air bag light came on. Was caused by a defective clock spring. This is a known defect on the wrangler since recall was done on 2007 jeep wrangler and 2008 rhd jeep wrangler.
The esp, bas, ABS, and airbag lights are all on. When you start driving there is a clunking noise and it hesitates to go. Sometimes when you are driving it starts to clunk and it is hard to steer. At times it is like you are dragging the rear end. And at times it even feels like you are dragging the rear end sideways.
I was on the highway and all of a sudden my airbag light came on. Didn't know what was going on so I pulled over. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing but I traveled over 1000 miles with it dinging every little while. When I got to my destination the light was still coming on and I was told it was a spring and would cost 400.00 to 500.00 to fix. I feel that it is not my responsibility to fix since it is a safety issue. But not only that I also had to get the ball joints replaced, both upper and lower which cost over 1000.00. I was told by the mechanic that jeep does not put grease fittings on them so that they eventually go out. This could cause a very serious accident and these issues need to be resolved by the company before someone get hurt or worse killed. I love my jeep but all these issues are really disturbing. One other issue I noticed is I am always having to check the oil which is usually low. Not sure what that is but I know others have complained about this.
Jeep 2008 wrangler had airbag indicator going off, so codes were checked. Clock spring failure code. This is a liability and safety issue.
