Problems with 2008 Jeep Wrangler AIR BAGS

Notified during july 2019 of 2 recalls (s43 and s33). on 7/12/2019 s43 was completed. s33 parts were ordered. the first eta was in september. that was canceled due to lack of parts. i have brought this to the attention of the dealer and to "all star dodge chrysler jeep ram" but there is still no date and was told there is a large back order list and no known date as to when the part will be available. the recall notice said "it is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers." i have taken these steps. chrysler has put in an part order and cannot give me a date as to when this can be fixed. the size of this backlog indicates there are many installations needed.

Tl* the contact owned a 2008 jeep wrangler. while driving approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel suddenly and erroneously turned to the left. as a result, the contact drove into the opposite lane facing oncoming traffic. a second vehicle crashed into the passenger side door of the contact's vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. the front seat passenger sustained a fractured right leg, and injuries to the ribs, head, and right hip. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 150,000.

I've called my local jeep dealership about these open recalls for over a year numerous times they tell me they will call when parts are in. no calls et. this is my only car to drive they no that. can't believe this!

Takata recall. our selling / servicing dealer has received spontaneous, limited deliveries of the parts (driver & passenger side), but will not maintain a list of customers who need the parts. it is 1st come 1st served, no appointments, no waiting list. must call weekly or "stop by" to see if parts available. this is ridiculous!

Understand from the jeep web app, fiat chrysler has parts available for the passenger air bag recall s43. but, i cannot get a dealer scheduled appointment for the recall since fiat chrysler is limiting dealers from ordering the available parts. i must wait until the dealer uses their inventory but a new shipment can be received. at this time all are marked for vehicles. seems fiat chrysler doe not think safety is a concern and may be even fighting the nhtsa ordered recall. it's hard to determine. gotten answers from parts are still being manufactored to in the warehouse what a shame the public's safety is held in such a low reguard.

Takata recall. 6 months after being informed of the recall my airbag still hasn't been replaced. but my local jeep dealer would be perfectly happy to sell me a brand new jeep with a brand new airbag. why are companies allowed to continue producing new vehicles before fixing a safety recall for existing customers? i want my vehicle fixed and safe!

The airbag light started coming on and off and sounding a chime as the steering wheel is turned about a year ago. now it stays on all the time. there is a recall for the clockspring but it doesn't apply to my vehicle which i don't understand as it obviously has the problem. i understand my airbag won't work in this condition and is a safety issue.

Check airbag light coming on and beeping intermittently when vehicle was in motion. took jeep to dealership, was advised clockspring (in steering column) was faulty with squib 1 circuit open. had to pay out of pocket for all repairs, even though jeep has a current recall on this issue (s33 clockspring) for same model year and others. no resolution when speaking with jeep customer care who claimed my vin was not part of the current recall for the exact same problem.

Air bag light is on from a defective clock spring and the vehicle still spits out gas when i fill up.

My airbag light continues to go on and off while driving. upon investigation i am not the only owner who has been experiencing this issue, it is quite common.

Faulty clock spring for airbag

Required replacement of faulty clockspring, but my specific vehicle not included in recall.
