| Description of the problem | The airbag light just came on in my 2014 jeep jk. After diligent research online, and with the mechanical knowledge i have. I have found that it is due to the failure of the clock spring in the steering wheel. After researching further, i found in numerous threads, post, blogs, and forums, that this is a widespread issue with all jeep jk's. A recall was issued for the 07 and 08 jk's, and also for the newer model right hand drive jk's. However, this issue has not been addressed in the 09 through 18 jk's. This can cause safety issues with the airbags, and believe jeep should issue a recall for these latter year jk's as well. This happened while driving back home from across town. At first with the light and chime coming on intermittently. Then finally the light stayed on. I have not been to the dealership to diagnose this as i believe i have done so on my own. This is a quite expensive fix for a safety issue that i don't believe jeep buyers should have to pay. |
