| Description of the problem | On the 2010 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes and chimes while turning the steering wheel while in a forward driving motion. It is an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. This has been a recurring issue and concern for many jeep wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. Owners from all wrangler models from 2007 - 2010 have reported this issue. Many of the 2007 models have received recall notices from the dealer, as well as right hand drive models. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2007 - 2010 jeep wrangler's (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring for the 2010 model, that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying. |
