| Description of the problem | I own a 2013 jeep wrangler, i take my jeep off-road every weekend. Living in las vegas, nv, i can keep the top off 10 months out of the year. Living in the desert, it's also very dusty here. In may of 2016, i was on an off-roading trip, when the airbag light came on. I took it to the dealer, and they told me it was the clockspring. They quoted me $700. 00 to fix it... I didn't have the money, so i paid them the $150. 00 diagnostic fee... Two days later, the first recall for clockspring came out. I called the dealer back, they looked up my vin #, and said my vehicle was not included in the recall. Since then several more recalls have been issued, but my vehicle is still not listed. I did research on clocksprings, and found out the reason they go out is due to dust, frequent off-road, and removing the top. All of which describes my jeep. In addition to the airbag not deploying, the clockspring effects the horn, as well as other controls on the steering wheel. I have written several emails to jeep, chrysler, and mopar. I have discussed this issue on several jeep forums sites, asking for help. If the recall covers only some 2013 models, but my model matches the circumstances surrounding the recall issue, then i believe mine should be included in the recall. |
