| Description of the problem | On my 2008 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every minute with a loud chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007+ jeep wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2007+ jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. My local dealership has admitted the fact that they have seen many jeep owners with the same faulty clockspring, but they charge hundreds of dollars to fix it. I can only imagine that for every jeep owner that takes the time to write a complaint, there must be many more that are having the same issues who never took the time to write a complaint. I am writing this with the hope that someone will notice the large amount of 2007+ jeep wrangler owners who are having this same issue with the faulty clockspring, and initiate a recall that can help fix the clockspring and keep people safe. |
