Description of the problem	The airbag warning light came on in my 2008 jeep wrangler. I contacted jeep and found the problem is not covered by my basic warranty any longer. So i went on line to see if i could fix it myself. I discovered that the most likely cause of this problem is a defective clock spring in the steering column. By reading jeep forums i discovered that this is a common problem in the 2008 jeep and in fact an extended warranty was required of jeep in the right hand drive versions of the vehicle. The apparent justification to exclude the left had drive vehicles is that mail carriers using the right hand version use the jeep with the windows down allowing dirt to enter the vehicle. I remind you that the jeep is marked to folks who will most likely drive the thing off road meaning gravel or dirt roads. Where i live in a desert region of wyoming the dirt roads are usually covered in flour like dust so dirt gets everywhere. I suspect the real reason for allowing chrysler off the hook is the cost involved to warranty the rest of the vehicles. If the cause of the problem is a design defect then all of those vehicles who actually have the problem need the extended warranty. If left hand drive vehicles don? T have the problem then people won? T be asking for repair. It cost around $500 for this repair which many people may neglect causing their death. Why are mail carrier lives more valuable than the rest of us? Please reconsider the decision to disregard the health and welfare of the majority of jeep owners who have left hand drive vehicles at least in this country. I suspect the defective part is defective no matter what side of the vehicle it is installed on.
