Air bag light became continuously illuminated & the warning ding makes a sound off and on while driving the vehicle, determined clock spring in the steering column was defective. Looked for a recall for this issue, but found there was only one for right hand drive Jeep. I did, however, find an open investigation & many complaints for this same issue on left hand drive Jeep.

Airbag failure illumination, took it to the dealer they indicate the clock spring in the steering wheel was the issue and may cause the airbag to deploy with out a crash. I contacted Jeep they indicated that this was a maintenance issue not a safety issue, they did say they would chip in and only charge me $600.but that offer was only good for 30 days after I reported the issue. This left me with no other recourse other then paying the $600 to pull the fuse to the airbag system. I now note this has been a problem on right hand drive vehicles like mine. I have contacted Jeep several times and each time they have refused to cover this issue. So know I turn to you.

Started my Jeep and the seat belts light rays on. It comes and goes while driving.dealer said sounds like the clock spring. I know there was a recall on RHD Jeep but what about th lhd ones.

The clock spring ceased to work turning off the airbag, there was a shudder and the tcs (traction controlled system) began braking on its own. Then when the brakes were depressed the system went shuddery and quit working. This is a known issue with 2007 thru 2013 Jeep Wrangler and there is a recall on the part, except that crysler has determined that it only affects a very limited number of Jeep. This is not the case. A search on google will show hundreds of cases where the clock spring breaks, causing the airbags to become turned off and the end and tcs systems to go haywire, making the vehicle uncontrollable and undriveable. Chrysler has refused to recall the part in Wrangler Jeep Liberty and two other brands. The hazzard is compounded immensely if you happen to get (death wobble) yet another unfixed issue. This will lead to accidents and death, if it hasn't already.

The air bag light on the control panel illuminates intermittently while driving. The duration of illumination fluctuates from seconds to 20 minutes. The faulty component is the clockspring assembly. Due to your investigation PE 15-025, I'm in discussion with Chrysler/Fiat to repair the component outside of warranty as this is a great safety concern which they had fair warning to correct.

I have an error light for the airbags that go on and off by itself.

- Williamsville, NY, USA

On the 2009 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 2009 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 2009 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 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two different independent mechanics who were unable to diagnose the failure and recommended that the contact take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The dealer diagnosed that there was a defective squib connector, which was open and needed to be replaced within the front passenger side seat. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 09V118000 (air bags and electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.

While operating my 2009 Jeep Wrangler first my cruise control failed and now will not function, then my air bag light came on. Now the air bag light keeps going on and off with a chime. Looked it up online only to find I'm not the only one with this issue, it seems very frequent and to have recalled several other keeps with the same problem, Chrysler needs to properly address the issue and recall all the keeps with this problem.

There is a known issue with the Jeep Wrangler clock spring in 2007+ models. Currently a recall has been issued for 2007 and 2008 left hand drive models, and 2007-2012 right hand drive models. A recall should be made for all model years and configurations as this issue can lead to the airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. The current recall is as follows: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 right hand drive (RHD) Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured from February 1, 2007, through October 10, 2011. Some vehicles may be equipped with driver's airbag clockspring assemblies that could experience a compromised airbag circuit resulting in an airbag lamp illumination, which indicates that the airbag may not deploy. Consequence: 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. Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners and remedy the vehicles as necessary free of charge. Chrysler will mail to owners an interim notification during March 2012. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Notes: Chrysler's recall number is L37. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Airbag warning chime and light come on when vehicle is in motion. Both reset when vehicle is stopped. Cause of failure is bad airbag clock spring. Recall has been issued for right hand drive Wrangler but does not cover left hand drive wrangles. I am a avid off road enthusiast and believe the exposure to dirt/dust is the root cause. This was the finding with RHD Jeep due the nature of postal service use. Since my vehicle is used off road with the doors removed I do feel the conditions are close to what a postal Jeep may experience. This is the intended use for this vehicle and the clock spring should not fail.

While driving straight at approximately 35 mph the airbag warning light started to flash then went off for about a minute or two, now it comes on and stays on for same time (on solid) constantly while vehicle in motion.

Air bag warning light stays on, make a turn it goes out then comes back on and chimes in less than 60 seconds.

The airbag light came on rendering it useless. The problem is in the clockspring. There is a recall on this part up to 2007. I have a 2009 jku and Chrysler won't warranty it. They are still using the same part that was recalled in 2007. There is a recall on current RHD Jeep with this exact part. Many people have this same problem with a documented faulty part that shuts off the airbag. Can't figure why Chrysler won't fix this safety issue. Look what happened to Toyota stock with the prius brake issue.
