Airbag light came on, took to dealer they said clockspring clogged which shuts down airbag functionality, need to replace clockspring. Checked web, found that chrysler recalled all jeeps year 2007 thru 2011(393,000) for design defect of clockspring stating it can get clogged resulting in inoperable airbag like my son experienced. Then noticed they recalled 2011 thru 2016 right hand drive for same defect. I asked if our clockspring was same design which response was yes so I asked why ours wasn't recalled and covered by chrysler and response was it wasn't. If product is same for all those years it should be recalled because accident will happen and someone will get seriously hurt if airbags do not deploy. Clockspring is same design in my son's jeep as all the others that were recalled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator intermittently illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bag might deploy. The manufacturer was called and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.
The seatbelt/airbag light went on at 27000 miles. One dealer said it was the wiring under the seat and another said it was the seatbelt. My municipal mechanic looked up recall information on the issue and it seems as though my vehicle should have been recalled. Any 2013 jeep wrangler sport made before 7/1/2013 has a faulty seatbelt. This is concerning and I am scared to have anyone ride on the passenger side. I am attaching the prodemand report. Please contact me as soon as possible. The light went on when I started the car,
When you pull onto the road it starts to hit the brakes and when you try to hit the gas it still hits the gas then the ABS comes on than the anti slip comes on and than the other one comes on like you are going down the hill comes on. It keeps up hitting my brakes than for a little while it lets up off my brakes but the lights stay on.
Driver side air bag and horn nonoperational.
Airbag light is on, cruise control (as well as all other controls mounted on the steering wheel) are inoperable. This was gradual; I noticed cruise control didn't work first, then the rest of the controls including the airbag stopped shortly after. This was during highway driving (a coast-to-coast road trip).
Takata recall. Airbagrecall.com tells me I'm at risk but does not list a recall for my vehicle at this time.
Air bag light came on, none of the steering wheel controls including the horn are working.
Clock spring failure. When stationary the instrument cluster is showing an airbag alert and all control buttons in the steering wheel except cruse control have failed. When the left spoke of the steering wheel is rotated counter clockwise to the 2 o'clock position the airbag alert turns off and all buttons work but only in that position. No difference when in motion except a ding when the steering wheel is turned past a certain position.
Tipm is bad. Door don't open or lock at times. Sometimes when jeep is turned off the jeep radio will not turn off. Airbag light comes in at times

Contacted chrysler concerning my 2013 jeep wrangler clock spring assembly "air bag harness" that was giving red light on dash. They have stated that my VIN number was not part of recall. My jeeps mfr date falls within the specifics of the recall on this part. It has been diagnosed by the chrysler dealership that in fact that was the issue and they will not fix this problem. When vehicle wa purchased and taken back to chrysler within 30 days dealership wanted to charge 700 dollars to repair. Someone please help me hold chrysler accountable to fix this safety problem.
Airbag signal failure (clock spring dust issue) 2013 jeep wrangler jku left-hand drive, experiencing driver side airbag signal failure. A recall for the same symptoms (recall #16v288000) applies only to right-hand vehicles only. Mileage approximately 45,000.
I own a 2013 jeep wrangler, I take my jeep off-road every weekend. Living in las vegas, nv, I can keep the top off 10 months out of the year. Living in the desert, it's also very dusty here. In may of 2016, I was on an off-roading trip, when the airbag light came on. I took it to the dealer, and they told me it was the clockspring. They quoted me $700.00 to fix it...I didn't have the money, so I paid them the $150.00 diagnostic fee... Two days later, the first recall for clockspring came out. I called the dealer back, they looked up my VIN #, and said my vehicle was not included in the recall. Since then several more recalls have been issued, but my vehicle is still not listed. I did research on clocksprings, and found out the reason they go out is due to dust, frequent off-road, and removing the top. All of which describes my jeep. In addition to the airbag not deploying, the clockspring effects the horn, as well as other controls on the steering wheel. I have written several emails to jeep, chrysler, and mopar. I have discussed this issue on several jeep forums sites, asking for help. If the recall covers only some 2013 models, but my model matches the circumstances surrounding the recall issue, then I believe mine should be included in the recall.
On my 2013 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited (lhd), the airbag light is on and chimes every few minutes. The airbag light comes on after I start the engine. The light stays on and dashboard chimes while driving. This indicates that something is wrong with the airbag system. Mechanics have told me this is a faulty "clockspring". This raises concerns that my airbag will not deploy during an accident or will deploy prematurely. Daimler chrysler has refused to replace this part under the current recall. When calling chrysler, I was told the current recall is for 2007 and up right hand drive models only even though they use the same part number. I had a 2007 wrangler (lhd) years ago that was included in a recall for the clockspring. The recall work was completed on my previous 2007 wrangler for the same part number. I would like an answer as to why my 2013 jeep wrangler (lhd) is not included in the recall if the same part number is the problem. It is my understanding that the repair will cost $520 which I do not believe I should pay if other jeep wranglers are having this job completed for free. If my safety is not a concern, please consider the safety of my wife and daughters, and move to include all jeep wrangler models with clockspring part number 68339336aa.
Airbag light displayed and will not turn off, along with intermittent chime. Failure occurred on 7/15/2016 at about 37400 miles.

Airbag warning light came on. Read about the safety recall in the news. Called the dealer. Dealer said my vehicle is not covered and a fix would be about $90.00.

Vehicle upon leaving a store, (just began to rain hard), the lights, wipers, cruise control, horn, and all functions on the steering wheel and left and right stalk stopped working. I assume the airbag is also not functional. No codes were registered in the vehicle for malfunction either. It has been a week and it is still not functioning. Possibly the clock spring which was recalled for 2007-2012, but 2013+ vehicles were excluded even though it is the same part used in the later model vehicles. Huge safety hazard!
With only 58,306 miles on my 2013 jeep wrangler, the clock spring has failed and air bag system will not deploy. In addition, this poses abandonment concerns as many users with similar problems find their vehicle will not start. I contacted my dealership today (northwest jeep chrysler dodge) and was dismayed at an almost $700 repair bill to regain airbag protection, even though fca has issued a recall for this same part number, but only in 2007 rhd vehicles. This is the same part!

This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2013 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. I belong to a jeep club and several members have the same issue. The warning light stays on now, all the time.
A week ago I noticed when I started the jeep in the morning the air bag and the traction control lights on the dash came on. The cruise control quit working along with the radio controls on the steering wheel. The jeep is parked on the street. I disconnected the battery for about 30 min. I reconnected the battery and started it up. The air bags and traction control lights were still on in the dash. The steering controls do not work. The jeep was parked in front of my house on the street.
Air bag light came on saturday, september 19,2015 and sunday september 20, 2015. I did not know what the light meant. My husband, [xxx] looked in the manuel and saw it was the airbag light. We need to know if this is under warranty or since jeep has had a lot of recalls on their airbags can we get this replace for free. Please r.s.v.p. As soon as possible. I use this car to go to work and shopping. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *jb

A few days before the light for airbags came on the cruise would only work periodically then stopped. Then while going mail box to mailbox. Turning steering to left to pull away from box the airbag light would come on and a warning sound. I called dealer they said it sounded like a clockspring issue. But while they light is on they said the airbags won't deploy.
