| Description of the problem | I was driving to work on the interstate at approximately 60 mph, my airbag light flashes on, then flashes off, and proceeds to do this the rest of the 20 minutes i am both driving and in stop and go traffic. Four hours later i get in my jeep to ride at lunch down the street, and it is still intermittently flashing on and off. I have no error codes. I understand reading various sites (jk forum being a main one) this problem can be caused by a faulty clockspring, and that there have been numerous attempts to have this addressed as a safety/recall issue, but it hasn't happened. I would like to add to this complaint list, as i understand currently only a small window of vehicles (2007 wranglers, specific sub-types) are fit for this recall and customers are being charged upwards of $500 for a safety issue that should be addressed by the company itself. |
