2008 Jeep WRANGLER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	871777
Internal NHTSA #	10415989
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	2008
File date	22/07/11
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The "airbag-warning-light" in the dashboard of my jeep wrangler x comes on and stays on, including making the "peeping warning sound" ever so often. The dealer diagnosed it as the "clock-spring" in the steering wheel (an approx. $400+ repair). This is not only an extremely expensive repair, but more importantly a major safety issue and concern, especially for a just over 3 year young car, just out of warranty. The airbag(s) will not deploy in case of an accident as long as the "airbag-warning-light" in the dashboard is on. I have read that a lot of jeep owners, as well as others, are having the same problem. This should definitely be a recall, since the clock-spring should not be defective after just 3 years. This seems like a faulty part, which should be replaced at manufactures expense.
