Received a recall for the clock spring. The horn in our Wrangler stopped working had a mechanic diagnosis the problem as the clock spring. Jeep dealership said the part is on back order. Called Jeep and they stated to get the vehicle diagnosed by dealership and they can expedite the part called dealership back and they stated they would charge us to diagnose the problem and it would not help get the part. This vehicle is a safety concern and will not pass inspection so the vehicle can be licensed.

I took it to Jeep because the seat belt light keeps coming on. They told me it was the clock spring and they wanted $1000 for it to be fixed. No I find out its happening to all Jeep. They still won't go good for it. It has happened to other year Jeep by still no recall. It's a defect and I would like it to be fixed. I have never received any recall info on my Jeep.

Check airbag light coming on and beeping intermittently when vehicle was in motion. Took Jeep to dealership, was advised clockspring (in steering column) was faulty with squib 1 circuit open. Had to pay out of pocket for all repairs, even though Jeep has a current recall on this issue (S33 clockspring) for same model year and others. No resolution when speaking with Jeep customer care who claimed my VIN was not part of the current recall for the exact same problem.

The airbag light started coming on and off and sounding a chime as the steering wheel is turned about a year ago. Now it stays on all the time. There is a recall for the clockspring but it doesn't apply to my vehicle which I don't understand as it obviously has the problem. I understand my airbag won't work in this condition and is a safety issue.

Second time the clock spring has gone defective. Airbag light on. Dealership charging for diagnosis and repair. Check all the Jeep groups, this is a common problem and needs to be addressed by Chrysler.
