Description of the problem	Started my jeep early saturday morning. My air bag indicator light came on as normal, but did not shut off like usual. I was a bit worried to drive it as i assume the air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident. However i chose to drive anyhow. The indicator light will go off but quickly comes back on at around 20-30mph. Followed by a ding each time it returns back on. As it turns out, my mechanic scanned my jeep, bringing up the code of a faulty airbag, clock spring. As a safety issue, i was concerned and called chrysler customer service dept to see if a recall had been issued. Unfortunately, nothing for my vin# is coming up. So that means i am on my own in repairing this safety issue. My vehicle is not covered under warranty. So that means i am to pay out of pocket. Dealership parts department has them in stock, but they cost $270 only in parts. Not including labor to install the clock spring. Please be aware this is a very known issue in most newer jeep jk's. I follow many forums for my jeep. Almost every single one of them talk about this known issue. Yet chrysler is not stepping up and handling this in a safe manner. I am thoroughly disappointed in them and upset now i have no active airbag. Till i save enough cash to have this clock spring installed. :-( please pray nothing happens to me and my family. As it will be an expensive choice chrysler is making. Thanks for your time.. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
