Had an intermittent problem with the air bag dashboard light activating. This would occur at speeds of zero up to highway and would come and go without warning. The obd-ii code was b1b8f, driver seat track position sensor circuit open. After removing the driver seat to access the wiring harness discovered that one wire was broken at the sensor, partially held together by a "thread" of the wire insulation with bare metal exposed. The wiring harness had been installed under the seat with the wire pulled tight to the under seat "spring" wire support and held in place with a zip tie. I consider it likely that the up-and-down motion of the seat over a period of years caused the harness wire to break. The first picture shows the connector to which the broken wire was attached. Unfortunately the broke wire is in the back, the one with the purple stripe. The second picture shows the broken wire after the wire plug was pulled out of the connector,

Takata recall (s43 / the federal safety agency 16v‑352): I have been waiting several months for a replacement passenger side air bag inflator replacement and get no answers other than no parts are available. What action is the federal safety agency taking against chrysler/jeep/mopar and takata on this? This is ridiculous that I am told that I should not have a passenger as this thing can fail. Is there any legal recourse than can be taken? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall I am filing a complaint because it is appalling that such a dangerous situation created by the failure of airbags and involving a recall actually has no solution and has no timeline for when a solution will be available, this is incredibly serious and important, yet there is no solution. You have got to be kidding. My jeep wrangler unlimited is part of this enormous, ineffective recall, and my family and I ride in this vehicle on a regular basis. This is absolutely unacceptable, and the manufacturers are clearly and terribly failing their responsibility to consumers.
Vehicle not being repaired in a reasonable manner: received recall notice s43 and s33. I called sunland park dodge, el paso, tx for service. Was informed that parts not available and to call back in approximately 3 weeks. I called approximately 4 weeks later to same facility and was transferred to service department. A representative informed me that one of the recalled parts was not available. I asked if I could order the part and schedule a service appointment. Request was denied. The representative proceeded to try and have me call the national dodge parts dept to inquire when the part would be in. I told him that I would not be willing to spend my personal time (an expense) chasing down a part that he should be able to order. I then asked if he would make that call and get that information to me. He refused to help me and was attempting to end the call. Then I asked to speak with his manger. Around 20 minutes later someone who was not his manager proceeded to give false information saying that they could replace one of the parts and 'inspect' the other recalled part to see if it needs to be replaced. I informed the unidentified woman that, considering the questionable customer service, I would no longer feel safe trusting their dealership to make repairs to my vehicle. Service incomplete after approximately 7 weeks. Pursuing service at alternate dealership.

On my 09 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag light and chime come on and off during my daily comute an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicles aibags. 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. At first my horn stop working (also caused by a faulty clockspring) and didn't think much of it, but I had to look into this matter a little deeper when my airbag light came on.
The vehicle's airbag light illuminates when the steering wheel is turning. The clock spring is defective. There has been a recall on this part and I am not sure why my VIN number is not being chosen for the recall when it has the same symptoms as all the vehicles that are recalled. I am nervous to wait for it to possibly get recalled in case I am in an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler. After the vehicle was started, the driver side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the clock spring assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags). The failure mileage was unknown.
My airbag light keeps going on and off and chimes with ever time it is engaged on the freeway. I believe my airbag system is malfunctioning which is a safety concern.
On the 2009 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard (mileage 79,600), 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 2009 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 2009 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.
The airbag light on the dash comes on and stays on. When turning the wheel sharply, the light goes off and then comes back on again when coming out of the turn. The vehicle was taken in for service and I was told the clock spring was bad and needed to be replaced. My understanding is that similar jeeps have been recalled for this and that the investigation has expanded to include my model and year as well. Attached is the estimate from the dealer showing the need for repair.
My airbag light came on and my cruise control stopped working. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they stated it would be $500 to fix because it is not a recalled item. I have been waiting patiently for the recall because many other jeep wrangler owners are having the same issues. My vehicle was stationary. One day I simply went to start the jeep and the light came on. I was headed to work and always use my cruise control when I am on the highway, but it would not work.
