Air bag light stays on, it has 27,000 miles on it. Open a case with chrysler customer care 1 800‑763‑8422 the dealer here says not under warranty .they say there is no recall on that also. This is kind of stupid for this new of vehicle to have this problem. Hopefully, someone can get this problem resolved since only the 2007 jks have been recalled for the same problem. All the years need a recall!
The airbag light just came on & my cruise control stopped working so did my horn.
My airbag light came on along with a chime. Now the light and chime happen intermittently. This is the second time for this issue on my jeep. The first time I brought it to a dealer and they replaced the clockspring at a cost of over $400.00. This part is essential to the safety of myself and my passengers and needs to be replaced again. Meanwhile, the rhd and 2007 wranglers have had a recall issued for this issue. Well, I live in a dusty part of the country and in the summer drive with the window down a lot, just as the mail carriers with the rhd jeeps do. I actually purchased my jeep in november of 2007. It is a 2008 my but was made in 2007, immediately after those 2007 lhd jeeps that received the recall. I do not understand how this recall was not expanded to cover all wranglers that it affects. From what I have read the air bags will not operate properly when this issue is present. They could not deploy when necessary and/or deploy when not necessary. This is unacceptable for me to have this condition in my vehicle putting any passengers at risk. I will be having it replaced either way, again.
Clockspring went out, replaced and went out again. There is a recall for this exact issue for the rhd version of my vehicle only. This recall should apply to lhd as well.
Airbag light and chime activate when turning. Was diagnosed as faulty clock spring mechanism. Was told it was not under warranty and if not fixed airbags may not deploy.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who stated that the clock spring was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign I.d. Number: 13v176000 (air bags) but was advised by the dealer that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 91,000.
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) 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.
Clock spring light/chime alarm intermit on and off.
Don't understand how there can be a recall on rhd and not no lhd.same parts are involved ,reasoning being that postal jeeps are more prone to dust which if you have ever had a wrangler,in the summer the tops are off all the time on dusty roads and trails so that makes your reasoning wrong. This is a safety issue .your job is to protect us from this kind of stuff. Do your job!!!!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the air bag warning light indicator illuminated intermittently. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, who diagnosed that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The airbag light and alarm warning goes on and off. On longer straight away it will turn off but as soon as I turn the steering wheel 45-90 degrees the alarm and light come on. Very concerned that the airbag will deploy without collision. I've come to understand that 2007-2008 jeep wranglers are having this issue and it seems to be the clock spring mechanism/electrical board in the steering column.

Vehicle towbar brake fluid leaks suspension transmission.
Jeep wrangler 2008 experiences intermittent airbag light on. Appears to occur when wheels are not pointed straight ahead. Intermittent loss of horn. Suspect defective clockspring.
Air bag light and chime intermittently on and off, mostly on safety issue? Right hand drive 2008 jeeps have been recalled. Left hand drives need to be called.

The airbag light blinks off and on and dings all the time. The clock spring is broken.

Also on a different issue, on certain occasions I go to start my vehicle and I will hear a click and the vehicle will refuse to turnover, it is a random occurrence that is a huge inconvenience. Sometimes my jeep will start after 5 or 6 tries, other times it can take a half hour for it to finally start up. I have tried changing the battery to no avail and am hesitant to hire someone to go through all of the wiring harness.
The airbag warning light illuminates intermittently coupled with a chime. It goes on and off while driving and irregular intervals. I've read as much as possible about the cause and have determined it is a faulty clock spring (mopar p/n 5156106ac) which is a safety restraint component but is not covered by a long term warranty. I am filing this complaint because the part in question seems to fail often per my online research and has never been recalled and is directly influencing the safety systems.

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 read that this is a know problem with 2007 models and have had a recall issued. I have also talked with jeep and they said the 2008-2010 rhd jeeps have had a recall issued also.
The same day after I got my 5 year power-train inspection done, my air bag light came on. The dealer said it was a bad clock spring but the existing recall for this part only covers right-hand steering jeeps and my jeep is a left-hand so it would not be covered.
My wife was leaving work, as she started to drive away in our jeep wrangler the airbag light came on and chimed. It has continued to do so, intermittently, ever since then. I was working out of town at the time when I received a call from her. She was concerned that the airbag may deploy unexpectedly or worse, not work if she were to get into a wreck. I was able to do a simple google search and find many jeep wrangler owners with the same issue, a faulty clock spring. From what I've seen, the 2007 jeep wranglers have an extended factory warranty to cover this issue. Unfortunately, for my wife and myself, we are not financially able to pay out of pocket for what I'm told is about a $500 repair for our 2008 wrangler. I am more then willing to repair or pay for repairs of items that wear out or need to be replaced while owning and maintaining a vehicle. However, replacing a clock spring to help maintain the functionality of my vehicles airbag system is not something that is commonly ever replaced. The amount of jeep wrangler owners that have come to the internet to voice their concern on the matter makes it apparent to me that this is either a sub-par part or design flaw and chrysler/jeep should be responsible for it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that he started the vehicle and the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the left clock spring had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Since early july, my 2008 jeep wrangler 2dr lhd has lost horn functionality, cruise control functionality, and has been illuminating the airbag warning light. I have researched this issue and I believe there should be a safety recall on the 2008 wrangler to replace faulty clocksprings just as there was for the 2007 wrangler.
While driving approx. 55 MPH down paved road jeep suddenly began constant horn honk, wipers started going, every dash light came on(ABS, engine, airbag, etc). This continued for about 1 minute then stopped. We turned around to go back home and about 2 minutes later same thing began again. The second time, along with above symptoms, we began to lose power and were unable to accelerate to maintain speed. We pulled off to the side of the road and turned key off. Horn, and wipers kept going. Then the windshield wiper sprayers started spraying continuously. We were unable to start jeep at this time. This went on for about 3 minutes and finally stopped. Jeep then started and we were able to drive home.
Airbag warning light came on and off then came on and stays on most of the time. Warning beep sounds every time I turn a corner. Took it to a jeep dealer and he said it was the clock spring and would cost $480.00 to replace it. I read on a jeep owners forum that 2007 jeeps had warranty extended to cover this. Sounds like a lot of 2008 jeep owners are having the same problem, but chrysler is unwilling to extend the warranty for us.
On august 10th on a trip to tulsa while I had my cruise set on or about 70mph I received an airbag alert on my dash. Since that alert it has continued to alert approximately every 3-5 min while you drive. Today I was informed by my dealer that is was a faulty clock spring which may or may not cause the airbag not to deploy in the event of an accident and it may or may not deploy without provocation. Upon research this is a widespread issue with this particular model jeep and clearly is a safety hazard. There should be a forced safety recall on this part.
