THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHOWING THE AIRBAG LIGHT SINCE I PURCHASED IT. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER TRYING TO GUESS PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT FIX IT BUT IT WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE. NOW THEY BELIEVE THEY FOUND TRUE PROBLEM AND IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING. I BELIEVE THE ITEM WAS DEFECTIVE SINCE NEW PURCHASE AND NOW IT COMPLETELY GO BAD. I HAVE NO AIRBAGS AND I'M DRIVING AROUND BAD BECAUSE JEEP INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING ON MY 08 JEEP. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 07 JEEPS BUT MY 08 IS NOT PART OF IT. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ADD OUR 08 JEEPS COMMANDER TO THAT LIST.
