I brought my jeep in for the air bag light being on and a recall for tge inflator, and was informed that the light was on do to the drivers side air bag and there could be a potential problem tgat isn't a recall for the clock spring
So they (mopar/jeep) have had this jeep clock spring recall issue for a while now... we have had it replaced twice now under the recall and it is still doing the exact same thing... so the recall fix was nothing but a sham... it did not fix the problem and the problem still persists and i am not fixing it for a third time when the solution they came up with for the recall is not a solution it just masks the problem for a little while... so now once again the clock spring is out in it and i am at my wits end with it!
During the evening of october 16, 2019 while driving on interstate highway 84 near the eagle road exit 46 with my 5 year old grandson, my jeep had a catastrophic electrical failure. i could not get the turn signals, headlights, windshield wipers, or horn to work. later i learned that at least the drivers air bag was also inoperable. the next morning my local jeep dealer (larry h miller, boise, id) diagnosed the problem as a failure of the 'clock spring' the service manager called me and said that due to the ongoing recall of certain right hand drive jeep wranglers (nhtsa campaign numbers:16v288000, 13v176000, and 11v528000, all involving the clock spring) a new, redesigned, clock spring is not available for non-recalled vehicles. he to install at my epense a new clock spring, but of the old design, which would eventually fail.

I spoke to brown's ford in patchogue at 8:58am as well as riverhead chrysler 9:30am today to bring the jeep in for the airbag recall. they informed me they do not have the parts for the airbag propellant recall and do not have a date for arrival only to say most likely july. they would take my info and call once the parts are in. i believe this recall is a very important one that needs to be done asap, not a month or two from now.
I am not able to get the air bag recall done due to the fact that i no longer have the stock stereo.

Recently had airbag replaced per recall. about 2 weeks before, airbag light on console now comes on intermittently, usually at lower speeds. will go off for brief period, then alarms and illuminates again. this began with around 149,500 miles. i am original purchaser. airbag light was doing this at time of airbag replacement. i confirmed authorized repair dept. was aware of this, and they confirmed. informed me to schedule followup appointment for repair. vehicle has been involved in no accidents. upon personal review, it is my understanding this may be a clock spring issue, as buttons on steering wheel are non-operational, except cruise control and horn.
