Patriot

My airbag light on the dash board comes on and will not go away. I have had it twice reset and it does NOT go away. I was told that Jeep recalled their models but I cannot find a recall for the Patriot model. Why would all of their other models be recalled and not the Patriot? Does not make sense. 2008 Jeep Patriot.

My airbag light has been turning on and off for over a year. I had it checked out when it first came on and they wanted over $600 to fix the clock spring. Due to not having funds to fix it, it's still undergoing. The light comes on and off all throughout the course of driving. I have read several reviews of people having the same issues for years now so why hasn't it been recalled yet.

I start having problems with my airbag in my Jeep last year. I took my Jeep into my local Jeep dealer last year. The deal stated that they would have to replace the airbag. The deal that I'm having is that sometimes the light will come on and off while I'm driving. I did some research and I see that their is a recall on this name brand airbag for this vehicle. I'm asking could you please add my vehicle VIN number to your recall list thank you.

Clock spring defective and not covered by warranty. Airbags will not deploy according to internal light due to defective clock spring. Clock spring was extended coverage on Jeep Wrangler, but not Patriot.

The air bag light came up and a mechanic with license told me that; that main sensor along side the steering tube did not work and if I have an accident the air bags would not function. Tell me if the maker is or not responsible for the problem I'm facing.

  • 63,580 miles
I own a 2008 Jeep Patriot. The mileage is 63592 miles. Recently the airbag warning light started intermittently flashing and chiming and the dealership told me that the clock spring needed to be replaced. I had that done at a cost of $614. This car has never been in an accident and there is no reason for a safety device like its airbags to have a problem. I feel that Chrysler should be paying for replacement of the clock spring.
