I've taken my Jeep in to the dealers since the recall and the dealership is telling me that there is no remedy to the problem. It's been over 6 months since the recall and I would like to have it replaced, or repaired before devastating happens.

Takata recall (recall date July 1, 2016) of recall number S43 for a front passenger airbag, and I have called Jeep/mopar on at least 3 occasions. On the last call they assured me that I would have the airbag inflator replaced on or about January 31, 2017. There will most certainly be a recording of this call, which was on or about December 24, 2016. On February 17, I again called mopar at 1-800-853-1403, and was told by [xxx] (employee/[xxx] number RI183) that the parts would not be available until March 31, 2017. I am in one of the hottest and most humid areas of the usa, southwest Florida, and my vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler unlimited, VIN # [xxx], is a 2011 model, so it is among the older vehicles in the recall. I asked the call center representative named above to transfer me to a supervisor, and first she told me that no supervisor was available, them that no supervisor could be located, than that the supervisor was in a meeting. She said I would have to receive a call-back, or I could hold. I was on a cell phone, so I asked for a call-back. That was at about 10:30 in the morning and I did not receive a call at all that day. Auto makers can, with impunity, continue to put airbags and sensors in new vehicles, and continue to sell them, while not standing behind those they have already sold. Sensors needed for those consumers who previously put their trust in this component manufacturer and in Jeep. I am asking for your help, as I don't expect to get a return call as I was promised, and I do expect that when I call again, mopar will walk back the promise of a March 31, 2017 parts arrival.

Jeep has recalled 2007-2010 Wrangler for replacement and shrouding of clocksprings due to mass failure. This problem exists in later models as well. My 2011 and 2012 Wrangler have both recently had their clocksprings fail.

My 2011 Jeep Wrangler sport has less than 50,000 miles and my airbag light is on and has been on for at least 6 months or more. Why is the recall only for rh drive Wrangler, from what I am reading there are several LH drive Wrangler with the same issue. Also every time it rains front driver and passenger floors are wet underneath floor mat. I have read several owner complaints on this issue but manufacture does not seem to care.

I received 2 emails from NHTSA in May 2016 regarding the failed air bags due to failed clockspring assembly. Two (2) weeks later my indicator light came on because the airbags failed. The Jeep dealership said if I got into a crash, the airbags would not deploy. However, I was forced to pay for this manufacturer's defect. This was clearly a manufacturer's defect and a safety issue. I shouldn't have had to pay for this. The information your Agency provided is as follows: NHTSA campaign id number :16V288 manufacturer :Chrysler (fca us llc) make / model years :Jeep / 2011-2016 subject :clockspring assembly may become contaminated.

On my 2011 Jeep Wrangler unlimited dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime while driving. This is an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. This appears to be a recurring situation, based on research in Jeep forums, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel.

Takata recall - received a safety recall notice prior to July 2016 regarding front airbag. The notice was not dated so can not give specific mailing date. I called the dealership July 25, 2016 concerned that we had not been called to schedule replacement, was advised they would call as soon as product was available. Called dealer again on August 16, 2016 - advised to call back at later date still did not have parts. Called dealer October 27, 2016 they advised that they still did not have parts and that they would call me when parts arrived. It is now December 13, 2016 still have not heard from dealer. The car dealer is: Auburn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, auburn California. Phone# 530-885-2900 would appreciate any help you can provide in getting the car dealer to make the repair as soon as possible. Thank you

The airbag warning light is on, but it appears it's actually the clockspring that is faulty. I don't actually know that it's the wiring that is faulty or the clockspring it's self, either way, a local dealership want $500 to fix it. With all the recalls on this particular part, this vehicle is not included in the recall. After market warranties won't touch it.
