On the 2009 jeep wrangler 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 200x 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 200x 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 for new models than 2008 that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler. The contact stated the air bag light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed the clock spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 54,938.
Airbag light goes on/off while driving. Does not matter if turning, accelerating, etc. Reading prior threads, it looks like the clock spring under the horn is the issue. Concerned the airbag will not deploy if involved in a crash, and the light is on.

Airbag light and chime continues to come on. After research, this is an clockspring issues that apparent on numerous jeep. A recall was submitted for 2007 models for this issue, but not on 2008 and newer models.
Air bag light came on while driving. After some quick internet research it seems the clock spring in the steering wheel of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 jeep wranglers fails. This causes and open circuit and air bag disables. Vehicles was brought to jeep dealer on april 19, 2014. Dealer verified that the clock spring was bad and there was an open circuit to the driver air bag. Jeep would not assist in replacement of the part saying it was was normal wear and tear item. This is a safety issue and there have been many reports of this part failing early in the life of the vehicle. Dealer charged me $320 parts and labor for the repair. I believe jeep should warranty this item indefinitely since it is expensive to repair and most people will forego the repair and risk their safety.
Airbag light is on, had diagnostics checked, driver airbag circuit open. Jeep states that jeep is not covered by recall.
On the 2009 jeep wrangler jk dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on and chimes randomly (no specific time or activity caused), an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 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 kduring an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Chrysler has approximately 5 different recalls on jk jeeps revolving around the air bag system. Chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying.
Made a left hand turn from a stop sign and the air bag light went on and has not gone off since. Jeep has informed me I am at risk because the air bag will not function in the event of a collision. I have been informed only right hand drive wranglers have been recalled for this and the warranty has been extended for ten years. This is a costly repair. It makes no sense to me how or why this issue does not warrant a recall.
While driving the air bag light comes on intermittently ,flashing and dinging, called chrysler who informed me that there is only a recall on 2007 and 2008 models as well as models built in feb 2009, apparently my vehicle was built in april 2009.
Drivers air bag light goes on and off intermittently and randomly.

Airbag light continually goes off and on while driving.
I have not been in an accident yet, but a year ago I started having electrical issues inside the steering wheel of my 2009 jeep wrangler. I was told it is called the clock spring. With a bad clock spring, my horn and cruise control does not work, and also my air bag light is always on. If I were to get into an accident I do not feel safe knowing my air bags are not working properly. Also, with a bad clock spring there are chances of my air bag activating randomly for no reason so that really worries me. I have almost been wrecked into several times and I am not able to honk my horn. When I took it to the local dealership, I was basically told that it has been a very common problem in 2008-2012 jk jeep wranglers but they did not have the part to fix it. I figured there would be a recall for it since it is such a common problem, but only the right hand drive jeep wranglers had a clock spring recall. I believe the recall number for those are m31 and l37. I don't understand why the left hand drive 2009 jk jeep wranglers are excluded from this recall. This is very hazardous and I feel unsafe knowing my air bags may not work and also knowing I could potentially cause an accident if my air bags go off randomly. Not only that, but I know more jeeps like mine that are driving around with the same problem. I would really appreciate it if this issue could be looked into. Thank you for your time.
I am writing to complain that my 4 year old vehicle has a major failure in its air bag safety system. I've called the dealer and asked if there were any recalls on my specific vehicle and was told no. I then wrote to jeep which involved a timely process of joining a jeep member club. After complaining to jeep I was told there was no recall or warranty left on my vehicle. How can you sell a vehicle and offer financing but they cant warranty a part that has failed , and is not a commonly replaced or wearable item. Only to find its replacement part is only available through the dealer. I have owned and operated a repair facility for 7 years and have never had to replace a clockspring on such a new vehicle . Being a rare fix even on an older vehicle. Usually only replaced after an accident. Please help!!
The air bag warning light and warning tone started coming on and turning off in approx. One minute cycles.I looked in the owners manual and it warned of a possible problem with my air bag and it needed to be returned to the dealer asap. The dealer checked it and said that the air bag clock spring, is broken and needs to be replaced. The dealer service consultant warned that the air bag may go off on its own when being operated normally or, not at all in the event of a crash. This jeep is a left hand drive vehicle and not covered under warranty. In doing on line research I have found many, many complaints of this same kind. I feel that chrysler should be required to replace it at their cost because it is a safety issue on a fairly new vehicle, also the right hand drive cars are under warranty.
On my 2009 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes every few minutes with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. I have my 2009 jeep wrangler at the dealership and they confirmed that it has a faulty clockspring within the steering wheel assembly. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2008, 2009 and later jeep wrangler (lhd) owners. 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. I have called jeep/chrysler and they refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying. I even pointed out to them that 2007 (lhd) jeep wranglers had their warranties extended to 150,000 miles or 10 years for this same issue and all 2008-2012 (rhd) have been recalled for this issue (the federal safety agency action number: pe11019. Recall 11v528). To support that there is an issue, when I called a jeep dealership's parts department they told me the clockspring for my 2009 jeep wrangler has been superseded by 8 part numbers. That is 8 times they have worked on fixing this part, but they refuse to warranty on my 2009 jeep wrangler.
Warning light for airbag system is activating every 30-50 seconds. Contacted my service department, they stated it is a "clock spring" in the steering system. Apparently, there are many claims for this from jeep wrangler owners.
Air bag light/chime began illuminating frequently (approximately once every few minutes) throughout the course of every drive, regardless of distance or speed. I took vehicle to dealer for inspection where it was determined the clock spring was defective. Part was replaced under a consumer purchased extended warranty.
Airbag light came on while pulling out of residence. The horn nor the cruise control currently work. After some research online, discovered there are many instances of this exact problem (clockspring). Chrysler acknowledges problems with the clockspring in the right hand drive version of jeep wrangler, and the 2007 left hand drive models, but nothing after. After speaking with chrysler, they told me they simply "don't care, because we've never heard of a single complaint regarding it", which is quite surprising considering all the complaints I was able to find online.
The airbag light actuated and upon further research I have found that it is symptomatic with the clock spring in the steering column. I contacted a dealership and chrysler with no resolution. There is a recall out for the clock spring in 2008-2012 models but it is in a limited lot number. The airbag light is intermittent and only when the steering wheel is rotated.
Airbag warning light comes on constantly and continues to beep while driving. Noticed recall for certain VIN#'s, but not all. Since this seems to be a widespread issue, more vehicles need to be added to this safety recall.

Last night I turned my car on...I noticed the airbag light stayed on longer than usual it went of but a couple minutes later it lighted up again for a couple seconds and from then it has been doing it, while driving it I noticed that my cruise control and horn are not working. I read a lot about the issue and I can for sure say its the clock spring, this makes a lot of sense when I bought the car in 2009 I received the car with a broken clock spring I had to go back the next day so they could replace it.
My air bag light came on and would not go out. I brought the vehicle to my local auto service. After testing it was found that the clock spring needed to be replaced. This is a normal left hand drive jeep wrangler 2009. I understand that this was a problem in previous years and was on recall during those years. Driving the vehicle with the light on is a safety problem that needs to be yet resolved by jeep. I am looking to hae my money refunded for the correction of this safety problem. I have the part and numbers are on the part. How do I backtrack thses numbers. This part may have been a 2008 part used in the following years production.
Airbag warning light comes on and continues to beep while driving.
About three or four days prior to the incident, I noticed upon starting the vehicle(2009 jeep wrangler rubicon - lhd), that the airbag indicator light on the dashboard was lit, indicating that the airbag was not functioning. I had noticed previously that the airbag light would come on, and then go away, so I thought nothing of it. However, on the date of the incident, as I drove the vehicle and was turning the steering wheel, I heard what sounded like a thin plastic wrapper "crinkling" as if caught between the stationary part of the steering column and the rotating rear section of the steering wheel. When I stopped the vehicle, I noticed a flat strip plastic encased copper wire leads appeared to be unraveling from between the stationary portion of the steering column and the rotating rear section of the steering wheel. I drove the vehicle to my auto repair garage, and the technician identified the part as the airbag clockspring assembly. The assembly apparently failed during normal vehicle use and now results in a reduced level of protection for myself in the event of accident. After researching the matter, I have discovered that many other owners of 2008, 2009 and 2010 jeep wranglers (lhd) have experienced similar failures with their airbags. The repair garage advised me that there was a recall on rhd jeep wranglers of the same model years for the same assembly.
My airbag warning light turned on. It would intermittently turn on and off after that until I had it fixed. It would turn on and off with a frequency of about one every other minute sounding off a warning chime. I did some research and learned that this symptom is a common problem with my model year of vehicle and has been a problem with model years 2007 and up. The problem is with the clockspring mechanism in the steering column that has something to do with the air bag. It apparently has something to do with the function of the airbag and is already the subject of recalls on other model years as well as a recall on the 2009 rhd version of the wrangler. They clearly are using the same part on these models and should be a recall on all models that have this part. I brought it to the dealer to get fixed and jeep determined that it was a faulty clockspring mechanism and I had it replaced as it obviously is a safety risk. Please investigate this and have them recall all models with the same clockspring mechanism before someone gets hurt or killed. I am currently negotiating with chrysler corporation regarding this repair but I paid for the entire repair myself.
All three of our same like vehicles at work have same problem. After your gas just cuts off you can count a second or two and gas come flying out where you put it in. Just do a search on utube and you can see a perfect example of this. Put in something like jeep wrangler fueling. Also all three of our four door jeep 2009 wrangler right hand drive air bag lights are on. There has been a recall for this but jeep will not do anything fore us. In the meantime our airbags will not work. The recall number is 11v528000 air bags frontal. They say our ours are not part of the recall. This is crazy. What can we do. Thank you
