2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING PERIODICALLY AND CHIMING. NO ONE IN THE SEAT. AND EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE SEAT AND HAVE SAFETY BELT CONNECTED (PROPERLY). FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE READ.. THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SOME VEHICLES WITH RECALL NOTICES FOR THE CLOCKSPRING MODULE; HOWEVER MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. DOES JEEP WANT TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAG PROTECTION?

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." *TR

WHILE BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIFTED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL. THE EVENT IS SO VIOLENT THAT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY, AND NOW HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE PER WEEK. *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.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. READS CODE P0585 SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1/2 CORRELATION. SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. BAD CLOCK SPRING...*JS

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH OF 2008. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE AT THIS TIME HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH. I TRAVELING AT APPROX 5 MPH THROUGH A PARKING LOT WHEN I HEARD A WARNING CHIME. I OBSERVED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH BOARD. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE LIGHT WENT OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL THE WARNING CHARM ALERTED ME AGAIN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS SINCE AUG 11TH, 2013. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE CLOCK SPRING MALFUNCTIONING. CHRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS FROM DUSTY CONDITIONS IN US POSTAL SERVICE VEHICLES IN URBAN AREA AND IS ONLY LOOKING AT 2007 MODEL YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY DEFECT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY AFFECTING 2007 MODEL YEARS. IT IS AFFECTING ALL MODEL YEARS. THIS CLOCKSPRING WHICH IS FAILING HAS BEEN USED AND IS BEING USED FOR 2007-2013. IF YOU CHECK THE PART NUMBERS ARE THE SAME FOR THOSE YEARS AND CHRYSLER HAS EVEN STATED IN AN ARTICLE POSTED IN AUTOBLOGER.COM THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SEE BELOW SECTION TAKEN FROM REPORT: {CHRYSLER ALSO RECALLED 5334 RIGHT-HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS SPANNING THE 2008-2012 MODEL YEARS LAST MONTH. DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLIES WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBLEM THERE, BUT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED UP JUST YET. JEEP IS ALSO EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON ALL 2007 LEFT-HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS FOR UP TO 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY ISSUE VIEW & READ: HTTP://BLOGS.AUTOMOTIVE.COM/NHTSA-CLOSES-INVESTIGATION-INTO-JEEP-WRANGLER-70505.HTML#IXZZ2FQBOEH9W } SO NEEDS TO REPLACED BY CHRYSLER AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *JS

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. PRIOR TO THAT HORN HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY UNTIL THIS OCCURRED NEVER GAVE IT MUCH THOUGHT BUT HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO PUSH VERY HARD TO MAKE HORN BLOW. TOLD BY DEALER THEY GO BAD AND $300.00 FIX. UNTIL FIXED NO AIRBAG. SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HAS LIFE TIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT NOT COVERED. *TR

WHILE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS MY DASH BOARD LIT UP, ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND AIRBAG LIGHT ALL WERE LIT UP, AND LATER I FOUND OUT THAT MY HORN WAS INOPERATIVE. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND BELIEVE THE CAUSE TO BE A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. AS OF NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE CLOCK SPRING FOR MY YEAR OF VEHICLE. THOSE SYSTEMS ARE INSTALLED TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND I. THOSE SYSTEMS ARE VITAL TO SAFETY, ESPECIALLY THE AIRBAGS! I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A FAULTY SYSTEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS REQUEST THAT THERE IS A RECALL PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON, THEN FLASHES OFF, AND PROCEEDS TO DO THIS CONTINUOUSLY WHY I AM BOTH DRIVING AND STOPPED. LATER I GET UN MY VEHICLE TO GO FOR A RIDE AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES GOES BY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CHIMES AND GOES ON , 30 SECONDS LATER II GOES OFF AND IT IS STILL INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ON AND OFF A WEEK LATER. I HAVE NO ERROR CODES. I UNDERSTAND HIS PROBLEM CAN BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING, AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY/RECALL ISSUE, BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS COMPLAINT LIST, AS I UNDERSTAND CURRENTLY ONLY A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES (2007 WRANGLERS, SPECIFIC SUB-TYPES) ARE FIT FOR THIS RECALL AND CUSTOMERS ARE BEING CHARGED UPWARDS OF $500 FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY ITSELF. *TR
