| Description of the problem | Airbag light and chime come on intermittently, but nearly constantly. This indicates that the airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. Based on online research, the likely cause is that the clock spring has gone bad, and this is a common problem for jeep wranglers from 2007 to present. There is not, however, a recall that covers the replacement of the clock spring, so owners are stuck with a bill to the tune of $500 if the want to fix it and have working airbags. |
