2015 Jeep Wrangler: airbag warning light

Filed Sep 13, 2026 · Airbags, Engine · AZ

I purchased this 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon new and have maintained and serviced it regularly. At approximately 75,000–80,000 miles, the engine began developing a ticking noise from the passenger/right cylinder head area. The problem progressively worsened. At approximately 100,000 miles, repairs were performed involving the right-side cylinder head and camshaft because of camshaft/valvetrain wear and a persistent cylinder #2 misfire. The right-side cylinder head/camshaft area has required repair more than once. Rocker arms were also replaced, but the underlying problem continued. The vehicle now has approximately 150,000 miles. The engine recently shut down and developed a loud mechanical noise. Upon inspection, significant wear/damage was again found involving the right-side exhaust camshaft/valvetrain, and there are concerns involving the timing chain/tensioning system. A failure of these components while driving could cause sudden engine shutdown or loss of power, creating a safety risk. The vehicle has also developed electrical/safety-related problems. The airbag warning light is illuminated, and the steering-wheel controls and steering-wheel illumination are not functioning. The vehicle was involved in an accident in 2019; however, the engine ticking condition was already present before that accident, although it was less noticeable at that time. Despite previous repairs, the engine/valvetrain problem has returned. I am reporting this because the repeated camshaft/valvetrain failure, persistent cylinder #2 issue, possible timing-system problem, and associated risk of engine shutdown appear abnormal and potentially safety-related for a regularly maintained vehicle.

Took to two shops for the air bag light on dashboard. They told me this is a known issue with the clockspring and I should check for recalls. My vin shows no open recalls, but because this is a known issue with a previous recalls, i believe recurring issues should be assessed and repaired under the ongoing recall.

A faulty clock spring is causing the air bag light to stay on. It is also affecting the horn and steering wheel controls.

Clockspring failed. Airbag light is on and will not deploy due to clockspring failure. This is known safety issue for Jeep. My last Jeep had to have 2 replaced. I am told there is no recall for this year of Jeep clockspring but when I look online it says that 2007-2010 vehicles and 2011-2016 right hand drive. The recall for the years 2007-2010 started as right hand drive only and ended up extending to all Jeep’s. This one should as well. Obviously they make a substandard product and someone has to die before they recall and fix it. I do not have anything to upload as my vehicle is currently at the dealership and I am told the clockspring needs to be replaced. I live in rural Kansas, the closest part is in St Louis Missouri. It will take 2 days to get arrive and THIS IS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT SHOULD BE!!!!!

First, my vehicle intermittently would not allow me to scroll through the on dash menu, then the steering wheel audio controls began to do the same. Eventually, all steering wheel controls except cruise control ceased to operate including the horn. This was all just inconvenient until the horn ceased to work. Multiple times now I’ve been on the roadway while other cars have drifted into my lane with no way of making my presence known. Finally, my airbag light began intermittently coming on. Within two days, it’s now on all the time. I understand this to mean that my driver side airbag will not deploy in the case of a collision. This is a basic safety function that is not working and is due to a known manufacturer’s design flaw.
