2008 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	964949
Internal NHTSA #	10498380
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4
Model Year	2008
File date	22/01/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag light started going off, (red light illuminated and chimed), intermittently while driving 35 mph and continued to do so at all speeds - could hear clicking sound coming from steering wheel when turning. Took vehicle to allen samuels dealership in houston, tx and they replaced the clock spring - ("steering angle internal fault replaced steering angle sensor/ clock spring." - $286. 75 part + $104. 00 labor) called jeep and chrysler to see if there was a recall and they said there was not one that applied to my vin. Did some research and found this: http://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/cars/problems/recalls/results. Cfm? Searchtype=quicksearch&rcl_id=11v528000&summary=true : chrysler issued a recall on 5,000+ right side drive models (postal service) ranging from a manufacturing date of feb. 1, 2007 to october 10, 2011 on november 2, 2011, but did not recall the part on left side models (much more common, of course). I talked to the parts department at allen samuels today (2/16/13) and they said that the same part number is used for both left and right side drive models, currently (part #5156106ac) - my guess is it was the exact same part used in both types of vehicles. Sounds to me like chrysler knew they screwed up and only issued a recall on government issued vehicles so they wouldn't have to deal with the much more prevalent left side dive models and uncle sam would be taken care of. When speaking with jeep customer care i told the support representative that i had done some research and had found a recall - she told me "well, you can't believe everything you read on the internet."... Last time i ever buy a chrysler made vehicle again...

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
