| Description of the problem | August 29 2013, my airbag light turned on and chimed continuously on my way to work. Thinking this may have been a fluke, i drove it for another 24 hours to see if it would correct itself. Now, over 24 hours later, the problem continues to persist. The dealership in my area claimed to be backed up for the next week or two and did not give me reason as to why this might be happening. After searching the problem on both the tsb and open forums, i found that the cause is the clockspring in most jk's. I have also found that the warranty for the clockspring on the 2007 jk has been extended to 10 years/150,000miles. Also, the (2008-2012 right hand drives) have been accepted as having clockspring problems. I drive a 2008 jk along with many others that are having the same issue. This is a safety issue and may cause a non-deployed air bag when an air bag is neede. Please help resolve this issue. Thank you. |
