Description of the problem	I have owned this vehicle since march of 2008. I bought this vehicle new from a jeep dealership. Vehicle at this time has never been involved in a motor vehicle crash. I traveling at approx 5 mph through a parking lot when i heard a warning chime. I observed the air bag light illuminated on my dash board. Shortly after that the light went off. When i turned the steering wheel the warning charm alerted me again and the air bag light was on again. This has been continuous since aug 11th, 2013. After doing some research i see that there have been numerous complaints in regards to the clock spring malfunctioning. Chrysler has determined that this is from dusty conditions in us postal service vehicles in urban area and is only looking at 2007 model years. This needs to be recalled as a safety defect. This problem is not only affecting 2007 model years. It is affecting all model years. This clockspring which is failing has been used and is being used for 2007-2013. If you check the part numbers are the same for those years and chrysler has even stated in an article posted in autobloger. Com that they do not have a fix for this problem. See below section taken from report: {chrysler also recalled 5334 right-hand drive wranglers spanning the 2008-2012 model years last month. Defective clock spring assemblies were determined to be the problem there, but no solution has been offered up just yet. Jeep is also extending the warranty on all 2007 left-hand drive wranglers for up to 150,000 miles or 10 years because of the clock spring assembly issue view & read: http://blogs. Automotive.
