 Description of the problemWhile driving my jeep from home to work, i was probably five minutes into the drive when my air bag light begins to ding on and off every couple of seconds. I was driving on the same residential street i always take to work and have never experienced any issues in the past. My vehicle is very well taken care of and is not abused like some jeeps. After work i was doing research as to what could cause the problem and the consensus seemed to be that if a jeep was rained on your clock spring would soon go bad. I have removed both the top and doors from my jeep, but the jeep has never been rained on. My jeep is garage kept and the only elements it has been exposed to is heat and dust. Also, i experienced this issue in january and i am in northern ut so this vehicle has not even had the top off within six months from the incident. [xxx] said they would be happy to look at the problem but that the average cost is around $500. 00 (they seemed aware of the faulty part). After further research i have discovered the 2008 clock spring was found to be recalled but nothing later then that? I am confused how the same part can be recalled on the same vehicle but only for one year? Jeep promotes themselves as trail rated, yet i would argue they are simply novelty at this point with all fashion and no function (mind you this is coming from someone who does not even partake in off-roading). Lastly, aside from the obvious security concern it has been brought to my attention that this vehicle now will not pass safety and emissions testing due to mopar's failure i am now required to pay for their mistake. Please address this issue and help others in the future! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
