Upon exiting the parking lot of my employer, the airbag signal light illuminated and sounded. I immediately pulled into a nearby parking spot and turned the car off in hopes of resetting the alarm. This did not work and the light has been illuminated ever since. After some online research I came across forums for the clock spring failure, however, my horn and turn signals work properly and the airbag fuses are still functional. I have taken the vehicle to my mechanic for a computer diagnostic, however, no codes were given and he said "well, we should start with the clock spring and see if that fixes the problem." I called Chrysler/Jeep in hopes of attaining some additional information. To my dismay, the woman on the other line informed my that I was over my warranty mileage and "nothing can really be done." I truly don't mind the light or even the sporadic (every 2 or 3 minute) ding the light makes. What I do mind is the fact that my vehicle, with doors and a roof mainly to protect against the elements, has non-functioning airbags that Chrysler doesn't seem to desire to remedy.

On the 2008 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 2008 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 2008 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.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shook violently. The dealer stated that the tie rods and steering dampers needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred a year later. The tie rods and the steering dampers needed to be replaced again. On a different occasion, while driving 10 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to wobble. The dealer stated that the rear passenger side axle shaft was bent and caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the air bag indicator illuminated sporadically. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who specified that the clock spring needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13V176000 (air bags) or NHTSA campaign number: 11V528000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 45,010.

My air bag comes on/off while turning my steering wheel. According to the forums it is a clockspring; why is this an issue still? it is a safety thing with a faulty part that they recalled for the 2007 models, and it is the same part that is in mine!

The air bag light comes on and off intermittently. Following up on this issue, seems to be a faulty clock spring and this should be addressed by Chrysler since the same faulty problem was addressed with the 2007 Wrangler. Apparently this issue was never resolved. My local mechanic even told me about the faulty clock spring issue and wonders why it has yet to be addressed.

I own two Jeep, one a 2007 Wrangler unlimited and the other 2008 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I have had to replace two clock springs in the 2007 Wrangler and recently the second replaced clock spring in the 2008 Wrangler went out. This is a total of 4 clock spring failures in two Jeep. I had received an extended warranty on the 2007 Wrangler and was reimbursed. But not the 2008 Wrangler. Chrysler did give me a partial reimbursement on the first clock spring that failed in the 2008. On this second one, they are saying they will offer me another reimbursement but again only partial. They will not pay for the diagnostic to confirm it was the clock spring. Being that I am now on my 4th clock spring in two Jeep I don't think I should have to pay for another clock spring and go through the pain of another reimbursement. This should be a recall. Currently my airbags are not working while I fight this issue.

Air bag light and chime continue to go off due to faulty clockspring.

- Springfield , IL, USA

The airbag light and chime is going off. According to the manual when this happens you are to take it to the dealer. After waiting a week for an appointment with my closest dealer and more than a hour for them trying to diagnose them problem. They tell me it is not the airbag but the clock spring and that I owe them $75 dollars to diagnose the problem. I ask them if it is covered and they tell me the part costs approximately $300 or more. I checked the computer it appears that this is a common problem among this vehicle but Chrysler Jeep refuses to address it. There is a recall for it but only in right hand driven vehicles. Being that I am a mother of 4 I am terrified to drive with this light on but I cannot afford to fix this problem. I really don't known what to do.

While driving on the highway, the airbag light goes on and off intermittently. The horn also does not work at all. I took it to the local mechanic to have the horn fixed, and was informed it was a bad clock-spring. Chrysler has extended the warranty for the rh 2008 Wrangler and all 2007 Wrangler, but the warranty for the LH 2008 Wrangler, like mine, has not been extended to be replaced. This is a major safety issue as the horn does not work, and I am unsure if my airbag will deploy, if needed. There is clearly an issue as there are a flood of complaints. It is time for the NHTSA to step in and get this taken care of. I don't feel I should have to pay $500 to have the clock-spring fixed when it is an obvious issue across the line in the 2007 and 2008 models. I should also mention that I have also experienced the "death wobble" which is what was the initial issue which had me take the Jeep into the shop. Over this past year, the Jeep would just start shaking violently at about 55 mph every once in a while. This last time, I pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the Jeep and tried again, only to have it start shaking violently again. This is a major issue that needs addressed. I could have been killed as there were vehicles on the freeway all around me. I could barely control the vehicle to pull it off the road. The mechanic replaced the steering stabilizer, the calipers, and the rotors to alleviate the problem. Interestingly, when I walked in to talk to them, they knew exactly what it was as they have had similar complaints that needed repairs for the same vehicle and problem from other customers. This was a $350 repair. I point this second issue out so other Jeep owners will know what to have repaired if Chrysler does nothing.

The clockspring assembly on my 2008 left hand drive Jeep is defective. I experience an intermittent check airbag indicator light. The defective clockspring assembly could result in broken airbag circuits. In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver-side frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver. Chrysler recalled 2008 right hand drive Jeep for the same reason. I don't understand how a recall was done for right-hand drive vehicles and not left hand drive vehicles. It is the same safety issue.

- Ewa Beach, HI, USA

Jeep has recalled all right hand drive Wrangler for broken contacts of the clock spring. I have a left handed Wrangler with a defective clock spring. The recall should be expanded to all Wrangler.

- Chandler, AZ, USA

I had to get a coilspring replaced which was defective and causing the air bag warning light to illuminate. The issue was recalled for right hand driven Jeep. All Jeep should be recalled that are affected by this issue and Jeep should make the repair free of charge.
