| Description of the problem | 2009 jeep wrangler left hand drive. The airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime. This is an indication that there is malfunctioning or interfering in the vehicle's airbag system. After researching this on the internet, it appears to be a recurring problem. The clockspring in the steering column is faulty and needs to be replaced. The warranty was extended on the right hand drive vehicles to 150,000 miles, yet there is no effort on chrysler's part to address the left hand drive vehicles. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007 - 2012 jeep wrangler owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring in the vehicle's steering wheel. The faulty clock spring is a potential airbag failure in the 2009 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Chrysler has addressed the issue in the 2007 right hand drive wranglers but will not address the issue in any of the 2009-2012 left hand drive wranglers. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue. Chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clock spring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags. |
