| Description of the problem | 2008 jeep wrangler with 20000 miles. Clock spring failed leaving me with a dinging every time i turn the steering wheel. 2007 wranglers have an extended warranty but 2008s do not. Sounds like jeep is admitting something is wrong but limiting their damage monetarily by limiting the affected years. Anything that has a chance that of making airbags not deploy, which i'm sure there is a law that says vehicles need airbags, not, have airbags that are made with parts that make the airbag not work after 20000 miles. What next? Seatbelts that unhook over a certain speed? |
