Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep wrangler started having an airbag warning light come on occasionally, over the last month it has gotten more frequent. I have done a bunch of research on the problem and found that it appears to be a common problem with chrysler products. The issue is a defective clockspring, about a $500 fix through the dealer. There is a current recall for right hand drive jeeps for the same problem but chrysler will not honor that for the left hand drive jeeps. I have tried talking to my dealer, and chrysler direct with no luck. I am confused as to how they can get away with refusing to fix a known safety problem, not to mention morally. I know they are a corporation and morals are not high on their priorities, however selling more of their product should be. I love my jeep, and planned on giving this one to my son in a few years when he is old enough to drive and buying a new one for myself. Not so sure i want to buy another vehicle from a manufacture who wont stand behind a safety issue. If this was an issue over something like a radio or other "luxury" i would have no issue. But that is not the case. There is a common safety issue and they refuse to address the issue and make it right. I have always driven toyota's and never had any issues with them standing behind their products. Perhaps chrysler could use to look at other companies and take a bit of ethical advise from them.
