Description of the problem	While driving on the highway, the airbag light goes on and off intermittently. The horn also does not work at all. I took it to the local mechanic to have the horn fixed, and was informed it was a bad clock-spring. Chrysler has extended the warranty for the rh 2008 wranglers and all 2007 wranglers, but the warranty for the lh 2008 wranglers, like mine, has not been extended to be replaced. This is a major safety issue as the horn does not work, and i am unsure if my airbag will deploy, if needed. There is clearly an issue as there are a flood of complaints. It is time for the nhtsa to step in and get this taken care of. I don't feel i should have to pay $500. 00 to have the clock-spring fixed when it is an obvious issue across the line in the 2007 and 2008 models. I should also mention that i have also experienced the "death wobble" which is what was the initial issue which had me take the jeep into the shop. Over this past year, the jeep would just start shaking violently at about 55 mph every once in a while. This last time, i pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the jeep and tried again, only to have it start shaking violently again. This is a major issue that needs addressed. I could have been killed as there were vehicles on the freeway all around me. I could barely control the vehicle to pull it off the road. The mechanic replaced the steering stabilizer, the calipers, and the rotors to alleviate the problem. Interestingly, when i walked in to talk to them, they knew exactly what it was as they have had similar complaints that needed repairs for the same vehicle and problem from other customers. This was a $350. 00 repair. I point this second issue out so other jeep owners will know what to have repaired if chrysler does nothing.

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.
