2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT AND CHIME INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF, MOSTLY ON SAFETY ISSUE? RIGHT HAND DRIVE 2008 JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. LEFT HAND DRIVES NEED TO BE CALLED. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, WITH AUDIO INDICATOR. NOTICED WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL HARD RIGHT OR LEFT, THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT. WHEN RETURNED TO NEAR STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT AND CHIME WOULD COME ON, INDICATING AIRBAG PROBLEMS. AFTER CONDUCTING A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH, IT WAS FOUND THAT A FAULT CLOCKSPRING WAS THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE ON JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED WITH ALL YEARS INVOLVED, INCLUDING 2014. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR JEEP VEHICLES WITH A RIGHT HAND DRIVE. THIS SAFETY ISSUE CAUSES GREAT CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN REQUIRED, OR IT MAY DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

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. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHT SIMPLY REMAINS ON. 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. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON AND DINGS ALL THE TIME. THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. *TR

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. ALSO ON A DIFFERENT ISSUE, ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS I GO TO START MY VEHICLE AND I WILL HEAR A CLICK AND THE VEHICLE WILL REFUSE TO TURNOVER, IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE THAT IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. SOMETIMES MY JEEP WILL START AFTER 5 OR 6 TRIES, OTHER TIMES IT CAN TAKE A HALF HOUR FOR IT TO FINALLY START UP. I HAVE TRIED CHANGING THE BATTERY TO NO AVAIL AND AM HESITANT TO HIRE SOMEONE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE WIRING HARNESS. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY COUPLED WITH A CHIME. IT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IRREGULAR INTERVALS. I'VE READ AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THE CAUSE AND HAVE DETERMINED IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING (MOPAR P/N 5156106AC) WHICH IS A SAFETY RESTRAINT COMPONENT BUT IS NOT COVERED BY A LONG TERM WARRANTY. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE PART IN QUESTION SEEMS TO FAIL OFTEN PER MY ONLINE RESEARCH AND HAS NEVER BEEN RECALLED AND IS DIRECTLY INFLUENCING THE SAFETY SYSTEMS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. FOR A WEEK OR SO IT WENT OFF AND ON. NOW IT STAYS LIT ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME UNLESS YOU TURN RIGHT THEN IT WILL GO OUT, THEN COME ON AS YOU DRIVE STRAIGHT OR LEFT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. IT SEEMS TO DO IT WHEN TURNING AND GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD INDICATING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER FOR THE 2007 MODELS, BUT NOT YET IN THE 2008'S. 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.

I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2007 MODELS AND HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH JEEP AND THEY SAID THE 2008-2010 RHD JEEPS HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED ALSO. *TR

THE SAME DAY AFTER I GOT MY 5 YEAR POWER-TRAIN INSPECTION DONE, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A BAD CLOCK SPRING BUT THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS PART ONLY COVERS RIGHT-HAND STEERING JEEPS AND MY JEEP IS A LEFT-HAND SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. *TR
