Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The airbag light in my Jeep stays on because the clock spring is broken. (per the dealership). My speed does not matter. I have put in a complaint with chrysler customer service.”

NHTSA complaint #10460968, filed 2012-06, 85,460 miles

“The air bag light keeps coming on and off as the car is driven. I have done research and it appears this is quite common in the cars. My concern is does the air bag work or not. My 16 year old child used to drive this car but does not anymore. They recalled jeeps with the steering wheels on the left side with the exact same problem that I am describing. This is dangerous and not sure why no one is forcing a recall on this. I was originally told this was covered in a recall by galeana Jeep in columbia s.c. And brought my Jeep in to get worked on. …”
