| Description of the problem | On my 2010 jeep wrangler dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. This has been a recurring issue and concern for my 2010 and many other jeep wrangler (jk version) owners. The cause of this light has been shown time and time again to be a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2008 jeep wrangler during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Jeep has had clockspring recalls previously with their 2007 wranglers, but this recall has not been extended to the 2008- versions. Daimler chrysler has refused to voluntarily address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying. |
