The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was constantly illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13V176000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.
Traveling down road, noticed air bag light staying on, esp wouldn't work, horn inoperative. Called Jeep dealer and they said to come in for diagnosis as the air bag light indicated a fault in air bag system. Took to dealers and they had to replace clock-spring wiring harness to cure problem. Not in warrenty period and when Chrysler was contacted they would not accept cost as it was not under recall. I therefore had to pay for repair. The dealer said to keep invoice as it may later be a safety recall. It should be as I was told the problem could cause the air bag system to malfunction. Being in the Jeep community I know of thousands of Jeep Wrangler having the same problem. Copy of invoice attached.
Takata recall: Jeep built Jan. 24, 2008, airbag light has been an issue for over a year - horn has always been spotty but always lucky at inspection until recently. So, airbag light dinging/on and now horn not working due to clockspring. Recall research showed to be eligible item but dealership and Chrysler recall 800 # folks said this Jeep didn't qualify. Damage will be getting clockspring replaced by dealership for more than $500.
While driving my car started displaying issues with the air bag. The dash is intermittently displaying a airbag light. This continually turns on and off. I have researched solutions for this and learned that Jeep Wrangler 2007 has recalled this specific part but nothing has been done regarding subsequent years. I fear that this may pose a safety concern as it is a direct issue with the airbag.

My airbag light is constantly on and my cruise control no longer works. I am a lhd 2008 Wrangler and as I have seen across the internet this is a huge problem. Why is there no recall on the lhd 2008 Wrangler when there is for the RHD and 2007 lhd Wrangler. The same clock springs are used in all these vehicles and they are faulty across the board. This needs to be a recall as my airbag will not deploy if I get into an accident. Chrysler is responsible and should be held accountable for this issue in my model yr and lhd. It doesn't matter if I am sitting, drive or whatever the airbag light is always on as soon as I start the engine and my cruise control does not work.

Airbag light continually goes on and off with chime while driving. Research shows this is being investigated by ODI and there should be a recall as this affects the driver side on lhd models. Possible clockspring wiring issue. This is a serious safety concern and not just a routine "wear and tear" problem. Chrysler Fiat needs to issue a recall and fix the problem.
