2008 Jeep WRANGLER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	915192
Internal NHTSA #	10454513

Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	2008
File date	01/11/11
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Airbag warning light in instrument panel consistently goes off during irregular speed, steering wheel operation, and temperature. There is no pattern that correlates with the timing of the airbag warning light. When it first started, it would only come during at brief moments and turn off again. Now, april, it turns off after vehicle start (like normal operation), comes back on immediately, and only briefly does it turn off at random times. The majority of the time the warning light fluctuates is during steering wheel turning. Turning to one particular side does not alter the light more than the other. Sometimes hard bumps in the road or off-road scenarios will change the light too. Knowing very well this could be the clockspring, no other lights or functions involved with this device confirm this is the problem. The horn works at all turning angles, esp and abs all function normally. There are also no dtc codes from the computer. All visible electrical plugs in the cabin and behind dash have been unplugged, cleaned from debris and reconnected. I find the current recall for only the 2007s and right hand drive 2008s very frustrating! The assumption that only rhds will have their windows down more on dirt roads might be factual; however, there are numerous of 2008 jeep wrangler owners that use their vehicle for work, or off-road scenarios that will easily bypass the rhd assumption. This is a very scary problem to have. I do no feel safe that any accident i have the airbags will deploy properly. The faith of my vehicle saving my life is completely lost.

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?
