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 to fix it...I didn't have the money, so I paid them the $150 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.
On my 2013 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited (lhd), the airbag light is on and chimes every few minutes. The airbag light comes on after I start the engine. The light stays on and dashboard chimes while driving. This indicates that something is wrong with the airbag system. Mechanics have told me this is a faulty "clockspring". this raises concerns that my airbag will not deploy during an accident or will deploy prematurely. Daimler Chrysler has refused to replace this part under the current recall. When calling Chrysler, I was told the current recall is for 2007 and up right hand drive models only even though they use the same part number. I had a 2007 Wrangler (lhd) years ago that was included in a recall for the clockspring. The recall work was completed on my previous 2007 Wrangler for the same part number. I would like an answer as to why my 2013 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) is not included in the recall if the same part number is the problem. It is my understanding that the repair will cost $520 which I do not believe I should pay if other Jeep Wrangler are having this job completed for free. If my safety is not a concern, please consider the safety of my wife and daughters, and move to include all Jeep Wrangler models with clockspring part number 68339336aa.

Vehicle upon leaving a store, (just began to rain hard), the lights, wipers, cruise control, horn, and all functions on the steering wheel and left and right stalk stopped working. I assume the airbag is also not functional. No codes were registered in the vehicle for malfunction either. It has been a week and it is still not functioning. Possibly the clock spring which was recalled for 2007-2012, but 2013+ vehicles were excluded even though it is the same part used in the later model vehicles. Huge safety hazard!

On July 19th 2013 I was waiting for the light big garbage container truck hit my back and the force I hit infront of my vehicle injuring a passenger. This was a multi vehicle accident, I was in the middle hit from my back and my front hit infront of my vehicle. During this impact my vehicle's airbag did not deploy it. I complained to Chrysler, they issue a case#[xxx] and investigate the accident. According to Chrysler they send to technician to take a sensor data from my vehicle and send to detroit for further analysis. Couple of weeks ago I received letter from Chrysler group llc. The letter contents are the purpose of the airbag is to deploy in those impacts where the accident severity is great enough and the front-end crush cannot manage all of the energy of the impact and lower the longitudinal (front to back) deceleration in the occupant compartment to the desired levels. My case I have front and back impact, my vehicle alone $17000+ damage. Chrysler refused to release the report to me unless I have a legal representative. How can I find that airbag wasn't malfunctioning and what G-force that truck hit me. If you need any information regarding these accident I will assist you with best of my knowledge.
