“I have a 2009 Jeep wrangler rubicon. The airbag light has recently come on along with a beeping every few minutes. We took it to the dealer and they told us it sounds like a bad clock spring, an estimated $500-$600 to fix. There have been recalls on this part in 2007 and we believe it needs to be recalled for newer models as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10616145, filed 2014-07, 36,000 miles“I am having a problem with my airbag light turning on and off repeatedly and dinging at me every time the light turns on. This problem just started after owning my vehicle since I drove it off the lot in early 2009. Upon research this is a very common problem that involves a very expensive part called the clockspring. There are numerous reports of this problem. This is a dealer only part.”
NHTSA complaint #10713014, filed 2015-04, 51,100 miles“My airbag lights keeps turning off and on at different times. Looked online to see Jeep has issued a recall on most veichles air bag clockspring. I called my dealer and I was told I am not covered under the recall due to where my Jeep was made. So that being said a company that took our tax payers dollars and got bailed out cant help make sure a jeeper owners airbags will work!”
NHTSA complaint #10562663, filed 2014-02, 71,056 miles“My airbag warning light illuminated for no reason. I looked this up on the Jeep sight and this was a recall in right side steering wheel jeeps of the same age. Online numerous Jeep owners blog about a similar concern. I contacted Jeep and they indicated it was not a concern, contrary to the common concerns on Jeep forums. Soon after the recalls began to occur so I thought it prudent to express my concern.”
NHTSA complaint #10722123, filed 2015-05, 140,000 miles“Keep calling local dealerships to have recall applied and corrected and either they do not respond to calls or they claim they do not have the parts and will call me when available. This has been going on for three months. Jeep of riverdale where I bought it and yonkers”
