Clock spring in steering column has failed. Air bag warning light is on, horn does not work, cruise control does not work, traction control light is on. I drive in very dusty conditions while delivering us mail, records show a recall was issued for this jeep and this problem. Records also indicate that the recall work was completed. But I have the exact same problem that the recall was supposed to fix? What can I do?

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.

As with hundreds of other left hand steer jeep owners, our airbag light is on, horn does not work, and cruise control is inoperative. The federal safety agency and jeep have deemed it okay to repair these problems on the right hand steer which is a very small percent of all jeeps. Get on it, start the recall, it is unsafe, and why should we have to pay the price when jeep/dodge/chrysler know this is an issue. I have been trying to get this fixed and talking to other 2009 owners since march of 2010. Let's go.

While operating my 2009 jeep wrangler first my cruise control failed and now will not function, then my air bag light came on. Now the air bag light keeps going on and off with a chime. Looked it up online only to find I'm not the only one with this issue, it seems very frequent and to have recalled several other keeps with the same problem, chrysler needs to properly address the issue and recall all the keeps with this problem.

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.

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.

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.
