“My 2009 Jeep wrangler 4x4 has a issue regarding the air bag warning light. The light comes on intermittantly and the warning bell will go off. While I am driving. I am concerned that my air bag will not deploy when or if it is needed. I know this is a problem with theses jeeps and wonder why no recall? I am told it could be a clockspring problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10809080, filed 2015-12, 48,000 miles“Airbag light goes on and off. Was told by the dealer (jim click) that there is no problem with this item. I need to pay for diagnosis before they can do anything. I informed them of the recall this is being investigated and was told that they can't do anything and was my problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10746255, filed 2015-08, 98,000 miles“While stopped at a light, my Jeep's airbag light came on and the warning ding sounded. The light would regularly switch off and on again, every time accompanied by the warning ding when the light turned back on. The light is pretty much always on now, and the warning ding only sounds when I start the vehicle. I had the airbag warning checked out at the local Jeep dealership and they have confirmed that the clock spring has failed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747629, filed 2015-08, 56,000 miles“Takata recall no one seems to be able to remedy s33 and s43. Two dealers have told me they have no parts. One of them told me since it was a 2009 nothing had happened yet, I told him I haven't had a wreck yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10957575, filed 2017-02, 70,000 miles“The airbag light goes on consistently on my 2009 Jeep jk wrangler indicating there is a problem with the airbag deploying. I've looked into this issue and found the problem is most likely related to a faulty clockspring.”
