AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. FIRST DAY WAS ABOUT EVERY 20 OR 30 SECONDS BUT BY THE SECOND DAY IT WOULD COME ON STAY ON FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO GO OFF AND COME ON IMMEDIATELY AGAIN. THIS IS A LEFT HAND DRIVE AND WAS PRODUCED 4/07. OBVIOUSLY THE SAME CLOCKSPRING AS THE L37 PROBLEM. CODE 1B06 IS DISPLAYED ON THE CODE READER AT MY MECHANICS SHOP. THE OIL PUMP FAILED ON THIS JEEP AND THE MOTOR SEIZED AT 9100 MILES AND WAS REPLACED. I ALSO HAD ALARM PROBLEMS FROM THE START WHICH WERE NEVER FIXED. I ALMOST HAD IT DECLARED A LEMON BUT GAVE UP.

I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO.

WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (WITH 55000 MILES) "CHIMED" AND THE AIR-BAG , TRACTION CONTROL, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY.

ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER MY CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT AND POSED A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY SAFETY. WITH THE CLOCKSPRING OUT OF COMMISSION MY AIRBAGS WOULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. WHEN I WENT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS A WIRING PROGRAM AND THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER WIRES. I TOLD HIM THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE END RESULT WAS THAT I HAD TO PAY $437.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CONSTANTLY LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO START HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ONE DAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH, I ALSO BELIEVE WILL PREVENT THE DRIVER AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AS OF YET, TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SEEING THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE.
