Description of the problem	The 2008 jeep patriot sport with 5-speed manual transmission was purchased in may 2015. Shortly thereafter i noticed the airbag warning light would intermittently come on, ding and go off within a few seconds. Thinking it was just a loose connection, i wiggled and jiggled every wire and connection thought to be related to the airbag system to no avail. On august 18, 2015 i brought it into a very trustworthy independent service garage specializing in auto electric issues. The mechanic discovered a bad clock spring which was replaced. However, the driver's side airbag was also bad. Considering the importance of a fully functioning airbag system, the vehicle's relatively low mileage and light, accident free use this has had, i think the defective (and expensive) parts should be covered under an extended factory warranty. These should not be failing like this unless they are defective or poorly designed.
