There are recalls already for the issue below for right hand steering vehicles. This recall should be applied to all jeep wrangler vehicles 2007-2012. A broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injuries. Anytime that the steering wheel is moved from neutral/straight position the airbag light will turn on and a chime is heard.

Airbag light comes on and off when turning steering wheel dealer tells me its the air bag clock spring. When I turn on my blinker to turn left it doesn't turn off since I've bought it. My car has 66,567 miles on it
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while stopping at a red light, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
Air bag warning light began illuminating when driving in straight line, when turning the light turns off until driving straight again. This is a left hand drive vehicle with the same symptoms as the recall placed on right hand drive models of the same year.
On the 2010 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 2007 - 2010 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 2010 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.
Airbag light flashes intermittently and chimes apparently this is caused by a defective clock spring that affects a lot of left hand drive jeeps. Airbag is disabled when light is on . This is a safety issue.
I have been getting radom warning chimed and an air bag warning light when turning the steering wheel while cornering. Now it is almost always on and needs to be fixed before next inspection is due. Its a clockspring failure in the steering column, a problem common to the current wranglers from 07-2014. There has already been a recall for the rhd models for the same thing but not lhd jeeps. This is my second failure,my 2007 had the same problems as my 2010. Its time for jeep to offer a recall and replace this part of the airbag system.
Air bag malfunction light came on. All fuses checked no issues, all wiring harnesses checked, no issues, dealership informs it may be clock spring which is not covered under previous recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag light illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer stated that the clock spring assembly needed to be replaced. The VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags). The vehicle had not been repaired. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
Air bag light comes on and warning sound goes off intermittently. Researched the internet and there are a large number of complaints for the same symptoms. Appears to be a defective clock spring for which chrysler issued a recall but only on right hand drives. Contacted chrysler and they don't believe it is an issue. I'm concerned that my air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash. If this is an issue in right hand drives, not sure why it would not apply to all. They do use the same clock spring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag light would illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and it was determined that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The contact was made aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags); however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.
On the 2010 jeep wrangler (jku) dashboard, the airbag warning light, ABS, esp and traction control lights flash 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 2010 jeep wrangler (jku) 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 2010 jeep wrangler (jku) 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 dashboard airbag light comes on and off intermittently while driving. It is uncertain whether the airbag will deploy, if it is needed. The occurrence of the airbag light seems to be related to steering wheel turns, and the light comes on and off frequently while driving around town, sometimes 8-10 times per minute. There was no incident that precipitated this defect, it simply started one day, and has continued non-stop since that first time.
Airbag light on my 2010 jeep wrangler turns on and off especially when I turn. Not sure if the airbag will function in the event of an accident. From what I'm reading it sounds like a bad clockspring.
Driving 25mph in the city. Came to a stop. Turned left and the airbag light came on. The rest of the drive the light would come on and off when making left or right turns. I know the symptoms from other owners and it seems to be the clock spring.
While driving the jeep the airbag warning light came on with the warning chime. The light continued to go on and off intermittently and the chime sounded. I took the jeep to the local dealer who I bought it from and they determined it was a faulty clock spring in the steering column. I researched this issue on line and learned that this is a common problem on this model of jeep. Right hand drive models have been recalled for this issue and the clock springs replaced, but there is no such recall for the left hand drive vehicles. The on line information indicated that this issue could cause the airbag to not deploy in an accident, so I had it replaced by the dealer at my expense. This issue should be addressed by chrysler and owners who've had their clock springs replaced for this issue should be reimbursed for their expense.
I have a lhd jeep wrangler unlimited sport. It is a 2010 and the issue that is occurring is the clockspring has gone bad. The light came on for the air bag in about may and once I saw how much it was to fix it I just decided to deal with the annoying beep. After researching jeep forums, I've seen that chrysler corp has been pretty negligent in addressing the issue by saying the recall only applies for rhd vehicles. If you're having numerous reports of a problem but in a lhd vehicle why wouldn't you own up to it? I'm not sure if people need to die in an accident before they own up to it or what but its pretty ridiculous.
While driving at all speeds I would get an airbag warning light and chime associated with steering inputs. Contacted service department. They said no recall exists and im out of warranty and would have to pay to get it fixed. Looked up recalls and failed components common to my complaint. Found the exact problem on my jeep up to 2009 and another recall for my year jeep but only right handed steering models. Did more research and the same part number component is used in all of them in this year group but my vehicle isn't covered. This is a gross neglect to address a know safety concern and could result in serious injury or death. The jeep was bought new, and airbags should be warrantied for longer than 36,000 miles. Especially when they are being recalled for every year and model around mine and I have the same exact problem.
Went to leave a parking lot and the air bag warning light came on, then it went off, then it came on. It has continued to do this since the incident date.
My airbag indicator warning light has been chiming, blinking on and off. From doing research online there have been a couple of recalls for the clock spring but not for the year of my 2010 jeep wrangler.
Air bag warning light came on so I took it to a local dealer to tell me what the malfunction was, they told me it was the clock spring. I asked if there was any recalls on it, they said only on the rhd wranglers so I asked how much to repair it. They said it would be around $500.00 reluctantly I paid it because it's a safety item that I didn't want to take a chance on. After researching this matter I discovered this is an on going problem with the jeeps and I feel this should be a recall item just as the rhd wranglers (same part) and chrysler should refund my money.
The clock spring unit is experiencing a broken airbag circuit. The airbag indicator repeatedly chimes and illuminates a dash panel indicator. There is already a recall for rhd, but not for lhd. The same problem exists on lhd. There are many complaints on this and well know issue among jeep owners. Please chrysler, fix this defect. Additionally my horn has never operated properly; it either doesn't activate when pressed or will remain on after pressed and you have to hit the horn over an over to get it to stop. Also my cruise control has stopped working. All of these go through the clock spring.
Air bag light came on while driving. Clockspring module is bad.
Want to update odi #10629109 with this information: airbag warning light eliminated and started a sequence of 2 bells, light on for aprx 10 seconds, then off for same, then sequence starts again. Dealer diagnosed a broken clock spring but my VIN not included in recall info I provided them. Contacted manufacturer and filed complaint, they said this recall was for rhd vehicles and I disagreed according to the federal safety agency investigation; action #pe11019 and recall #11v52800. When asked what grievance process was available to me, she said none. Complaint #25543107 was filed and she said I will be contacted if my VIN is added to the recall. She could not tell me why would my vehicle did not qualify for the recall? I paid for the repairs and retained the broken part;, which the tec said was clearly broken while still in the column and came out in pieces. While the warning lamp was eliminated it affected the stability of the vehicle and caused sway or wandering when at high speed on the freeway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred multiple times. The dealer stated that the clock spring was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,300...updated 09-24-14 *bf updated 02/25/2015
Airbag warning light would come on intermittently.
9/26/2011 (32975 miles): air bag warning light on dash illuminated and chime alarm sounded every few minutes while driving. Defective clock spring replaced under warranty. 10/31/2011 (35283 miles): horn would not sound when button pushed on steering wheel. Defective clock spring replaced under warranty. 7/29/2014 (63000 miles) air bag warning light on dash illuminated and chime alarm sounded every few minutes while driving. Defective clock spring diagnosed.
My airbag warning light keeps illuminating on off every few seconds which indicates my airbags are not functioning properly.
The 'air bag' light stays on all the time and a dodge technician confirmed it was due to a faulty "clockspring" I had read about as being a defect in online forums. The repair will cost me 500.00 and the vehicle is not even paid off; additionally, the dealer/tech told me the air bag may not deploy properly without the repair. This is a safety issue that has been overlooked during the engineering phase and should be corrected by the manufacturer.
While driving my air bag light came on. When I turn right it goes out. As I straighten out it comes back on. Research says it's a clock spring sensor or module based on how it goes on and off when the wheel is turned. Contacted my local dealership and was told that this is not a warranty issue and that it would cost around $400 for the part and labor. This is a device that has been recalled on many other jk jeeps, yet there is no recall on the 2010. Additionally I have a certified pre-owned warranty and they said it isn't covered under that warranty either. This is crazy.
