| Description of the problem | Upon exiting the parking lot of my employer, the airbag signal light illuminated and sounded. I immediately pulled into a nearby parking spot and turned the car off in hopes of resetting the alarm. This did not work and the light has been illuminated ever since. After some online research i came across forums for the clock spring failure, however, my horn and turn signals work properly and the airbag fuses are still functional. I have taken the vehicle to my mechanic for a computer diagnostic, however, no codes were given and he said "well, we should start with the clock spring and see if that fixes the problem." i called chrysler/jeep in hopes of attaining some additional information. To my dismay, the woman on the other line informed my that i was over my warranty mileage and "nothing can really be done." i truly don't mind the light or even the sporadic (every 2 or 3 minute) ding the light makes. What i do mind is the fact that my vehicle, with doors and a roof mainly to protect against the elements, has non-functioning airbags that chrysler doesn't seem to desire to remedy. |
