Problems with 2009 Jeep Wrangler AIR BAGS

I have reached out to gerry wood chrysler jeep dodge several times regarding the recall post card i receive every couple months regarding a recall on s 33 airbag clock spring. i also called dodge headquarters with no results because the transferred my call back to jerry would chryslerjeep dodge. the jeep airbag light is on intermittently. they tell me the part is not in they will call me when it is delivered. i never hear back from anyone. it has been a year going back and forth about this. i'm hesitant to drive the jeep because i could possibly be injured or injure others. i need help.

Had an intermittent problem with the air bag dashboard light activating. this would occur at speeds of zero up to highway and would come and go without warning. the obd-ii code was b1b8f, driver seat track position sensor circuit open. after removing the driver seat to access the wiring harness discovered that one wire was broken at the sensor, partially held together by a "thread" of the wire insulation with bare metal exposed. the wiring harness had been installed under the seat with the wire pulled tight to the under seat "spring" wire support and held in place with a zip tie. i consider it likely that the up-and-down motion of the seat over a period of years caused the harness wire to break. the first picture shows the connector to which the broken wire was attached. unfortunately the broke wire is in the back, the one with the purple stripe. the second picture shows the broken wire after the wire plug was pulled out of the connector,

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler. the owner stated that the vehicle was stolen and the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed causing the vehicle roll over several times. during the crash the front end was severely damaged but the air bags did not deploy. the cause of the failure was not determined. no further info was available. a police report was taken at the scene. the local dealer was not notified. the vehicle was towed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Clock spring in steering column has failed. air bag warning light is on, horn does not work, cruise control does not work, traction control light is on. i drive in very dusty conditions while delivering us mail, records show a recall was issued for this jeep and this problem. records also indicate that the recall work was completed. but i have the exact same problem that the recall was supposed to fix? what can i do?

Takata recall dealerships are saying they either don"t have the parts, or aren't taking appointment till after october 2018. i have been getting notices and have been trying to get recalls for years

Takata recall (s43 / nhtsa 16v-352): i have been waiting several months for a replacement passenger side air bag inflator replacement and get no answers other than no parts are available. what action is the nhtsa taking against chrysler/jeep/mopar and takata on this? this is ridiculous that i am told that i should not have a passenger as this thing can fail. is there any legal recourse than can be taken?

Takata recall i am filing a complaint because it is appalling that such a dangerous situation created by the failure of airbags and involving a recall actually has no solution and has no timeline for when a solution will be available, this is incredibly serious and important, yet there is no solution. you have got to be kidding. my jeep wrangler unlimited is part of this enormous, ineffective recall, and my family and i ride in this vehicle on a regular basis. this is absolutely unacceptable, and the manufacturers are clearly and terribly failing their responsibility to consumers.

Vehicle not being repaired in a reasonable manner: received recall notice s43 and s33. i called sunland park dodge, el paso, tx for service. was informed that parts not available and to call back in approximately 3 weeks. i called approximately 4 weeks later to same facility and was transferred to service department. a representative informed me that one of the recalled parts was not available. i asked if i could order the part and schedule a service appointment. request was denied. the representative proceeded to try and have me call the national dodge parts dept to inquire when the part would be in. i told him that i would not be willing to spend my personal time (an expense) chasing down a part that he should be able to order. i then asked if he would make that call and get that information to me. he refused to help me and was attempting to end the call. then i asked to speak with his manger. around 20 minutes later someone who was not his manager proceeded to give false information saying that they could replace one of the parts and 'inspect' the other recalled part to see if it needs to be replaced. i informed the unidentified woman that, considering the questionable customer service, i would no longer feel safe trusting their dealership to make repairs to my vehicle. service incomplete after approximately 7 weeks. pursuing service at alternate dealership.

On my 09 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag light and chime come on and off during my daily comute an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicles aibags. 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. at first my horn stop working (also caused by a faulty clockspring) and didn't think much of it, but i had to look into this matter a little deeper when my airbag light came on.

The vehicle's airbag light illuminates when the steering wheel is turning. the clock spring is defective. there has been a recall on this part and i am not sure why my vin number is not being chosen for the recall when it has the same symptoms as all the vehicles that are recalled. i am nervous to wait for it to possibly get recalled in case i am in an accident.

My airbag light keeps going on and off and chimes with ever time it is engaged on the freeway. i believe my airbag system is malfunctioning which is a safety concern.

On the 2009 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard (mileage 79,600), 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 2009 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 2009 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.

Faulty clockspring wiring for airbag. replaced for $500.00 this is a known defect for rhd models that has prompted a recall. after many complaints, the 2007 lhd model warranty appears to have been extended as well. however, i had the same issues with my 2009 lhd model (160,000 miles). this is a known defect that should be absorbed by the company and not the customer!

I have a bad clock spring .which can cause the air bags not to work and i am reading this a common problem.think this needs to be addressed since this seems to common problems which is safety related.the airbag light comes on and off while driving

Air bag light remains on, therefore the air bag may not deploy as intended in an accident. this is a known problem with the 'clock spring' as jeep is recalling certain model years and not others - jeep needs to recall and fix this safety issue on all jeep models, not just a select few.

A few weeks ago while making a left hand turn i heard a pop and then my airbag lamp (dash light) started coming on and dings when the car is started (very annoying)...i looked in the manual and it told me this meant there was a problem with the driver's air bag. i did searches on the internet and found that a lot of vehicles are being recalled for a know issue / recall for clock-spring assembly in the driver's airbag system that could cause it to malfunction and not deploy during a crash. i found a few sites that listed my make / model of jeep as one of the recalls ... but when i called the chrysler / jeep customer service & took it to the chrysler / jeep dealership to have it diagnosed- i was told my make / model was not included in the recall so i had to pay for it out of my own pocket ($499.17 to be exact - see attached invoice). talk about a shock - i would have never guessed that it would be this expensive - but to be protected and safe in my vehicle it had to be done. i am hoping to also voice my concerns & hopefully protect other people and possibly prevent deaths of innocent people that are not aware of the problem so they can get the defective airbag clock-spring assemblies replaced. i also requesting that this incident be reported, investigated and hope to be reimbursed for this expense i pray that someone else does not have to spend the time, money or worry that i've had to go through in order to get this issue fixed... hopefully before it causes an injury or death!

A few weeks ago my airbag lamp (dash light) started coming on and dings when the car is started (very annoying) ... i looked in the manual and it told me this meant there was a problem with the driver's air bag. i did searches on the internet and found that my year, make & model jeep had a know issue / recall for clock spring in the driver's airbag system that could cause it to malfunction and not deploy during a crash. when i called chrysler they said my vin number is not in the list of recalls but that it didn't mean that wasn't the problem because of the large recall for this issue. they want me to pay to have the problem fixed at the dealership myself and then file a complaint with them for re-imbursement... which i find to be ridiculous - if its a know problem with my vehicle then they should honor it and fix the issue without me being out the money!

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler. after the vehicle was started, the driver side air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the clock spring assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v176000 (air bags). the failure mileage was unknown.

Started my jeep and the seat belts light rays on. it comes and goes while driving.dealer said sounds like the clock spring. i know there was a recall on rhd jeeps but what about th lhd ones.

The air bag light on the control panel illuminates intermittently while driving. the duration of illumination fluctuates from seconds to 20 minutes. the faulty component is the clockspring assembly. due to your investigation pe 15-025, i'm in discussion with chrysler/fiat to repair the component outside of warranty as this is a great safety concern which they had fair warning to correct.

On the 2009 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 2009 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 2009 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.

The airbag light on the dash comes on and stays on. when turning the wheel sharply, the light goes off and then comes back on again when coming out of the turn. the vehicle was taken in for service and i was told the clock spring was bad and needed to be replaced. my understanding is that similar jeeps have been recalled for this and that the investigation has expanded to include my model and year as well. attached is the estimate from the dealer showing the need for repair.

The clock spring ceased to work turning off the airbag, there was a shudder and the tcs (traction controlled system) began braking on its own. then when the brakes were depressed the system went shuddery and quit working. this is a known issue with 2007 thru 2013 jeep wranglers and there is a recall on the part, except that crysler has determined that it only affects a very limited number of jeeps. this is not the case. a search on google will show hundreds of cases where the clock spring breaks, causing the airbags to become turned off and the end and tcs systems to go haywire, making the vehicle uncontrollable and undriveable. chrysler has refused to recall the part in wranglers jeep liberty and two other brands. the hazzard is compounded immensely if you happen to get (death wobble) yet another unfixed issue. this will lead to accidents and death, if it hasn't already.

Airbag light kept going on. i am upset because there is a large recall on the mopar airbag module located in the sterring wheel. i had to pay 680.00 dollars, where there is over 1millon vehicles that have been recalled for this specific part. something is just not right here. please help thank you

Air bag light became continuously illuminated & the warning ding makes a sound off and on while driving the vehicle, determined clock spring in the steering column was defective. looked for a recall for this issue, but found there was only one for right hand drive jeeps. i did, however, find an open investigation & many complaints for this same issue on left hand drive jeeps.

While operating my 2009 jeep wrangler first my cruise control failed and now will not function, then my air bag light came on. now the air bag light keeps going on and off with a chime. looked it up online only to find i'm not the only one with this issue, it seems very frequent and to have recalled several other keeps with the same problem, chrysler needs to properly address the issue and recall all the keeps with this problem. *tr

There is a known issue with the jeep wrangler clock spring in 2007+ models. currently a recall has been issued for 2007 and 2008 left hand drive models, and 2007-2012 right hand drive models. a recall should be made for all model years and configurations as this issue can lead to the airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. the current recall is as follows: chrysler is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 right hand drive (rhd) jeep wrangler vehicles manufactured from february 1, 2007, through october 10, 2011. some vehicles may be equipped with driver's airbag clockspring assemblies that could experience a compromised airbag circuit resulting in an airbag lamp illumination, which indicates that the airbag may not deploy. consequence: a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injuries. remedy: chrysler will notify owners and remedy the vehicles as necessary free of charge. chrysler will mail to owners an interim notification during march 2012. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. notes: chrysler's recall number is l37. owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236. *tr

Transmission overheats when driving uphill even in the snow. (needs a tranny cooler). air bag sensor failed. not covered but same part failed in 2007 and is covered by warranty. *tr

The airbag light came on rendering it useless. the problem is in the clockspring. there is a recall on this part up to 2007. i have a 2009 jku and chrysler won't warranty it. they are still using the same part that was recalled in 2007. there is a recall on current rhd jeeps with this exact part. many people have this same problem with a documented faulty part that shuts off the airbag. can't figure why chrysler won't fix this safety issue. look what happened to toyotas stock with the prius brake issue. *tr
