The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 60 mph and attempting to avoid colliding with another vehicle, the contact's vehicle crashed into a rock wall barrier. The front driver and passenger air bags failed to deploy. The driver experienced minor soreness that did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle sustained damage to the front driver side bumper and the frame. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 139,000.
About a year after purchasing my Jeep Wrangler I noticed that my airbag light would come on for a while and then go out repeatedly. I thought that it was just a faulty bulb and for the most part ignored it. Then it started staying on all the time, so yesterday, after the horn quit and all the fuses were intact, I had it checked, by a mechanic. The mechanic stated that it's failure was being caused by a faulty clockspring which is a common problem on Jeep Wrangler. And after researching this on the internet, I found this to be correct. However I only see where the recall is listed only for previous years. But if you read some of the feedback left on the Jeep websites this is an ongoing problem. I am going to have the part replaced, but I would like to know if the 2000 Wrangler is included in a recall for this problem ? thanks.....G.D.gray.
My wife was hit in the right front of her 2000 Jeep Wrangler (sahara ed.) on 12 Mar 2005. I contacted damiler Chrysler, and rather than reply to me, they turned it over to one of the law firms which has not satisfactorily handling the issue, nor have they contacted me since September. My wife suffered a broken neck, 4-broken ribs, a punctured left lung, a 2" laceration on her head requiring 13 staples and many cuts and bruises because the air bag did not deploy, causing her upper body to go through the window. Our hospital and air flight cost totaled more than $60K. Much of it paid by my health insurances.
Consumer experiencing problems with the clockspring in his 2000 Jeep Wrangler sport. The consumer stated the horn does not work and the air bag light is on.
On feburary 1, 2003, my daughter was driving a 2000 Jeep Wrangler at about 35 mph on a slight up-grade. She left about 20' of straight skid prior to a rear-end collision. Slight deformation to the bumper, a small dent and broken turn signal lens on right fender. She was wearing the seat belt and shoulder strap, yet sustained a broken nose and broken cheek bone from hitting the steering wheel. No airbags deployed. The shoulder strap did not prevent forward motion. Where can I get this vehicle examined and what information do you have regarding these specific devices? thank you, very much.

Consumer went to press the horn when it did not sound. Kept pressing the horn pad when airbag fell off. Apparently airbag was never bolted down at the factory which caused it to fall. Consumer called manufacturer, and was told that mistake happened, and there was a warranty to correct it.
