Refer to ODI id number : 10185714; airbag warning light now stays on constantly; horn no longer works; dealership where pruchased notified; service scheduled; appears to be common problem with the air bags frontal sensor/control module where water and/or road salt in the proximity of the air bag control module could lead to corrosion, and such corrosion can lead to illumination of the air bag warning light or could allow inadvertent deployment of the air bags.
2001 Jeep Wrangler SE. Air bags warning light failure. Intermittent illumination of the air bag warning light occurred when vehicle was operating in reverse gear.when operating the vehicle in reverse gear, 5-sp manual transmission, the airbag warning light illuminates, after going forward a short distance, warning light went out. It has occurred 3 times over 3 day period. Airbag has not deployed; no corrective action has been performed; dealership has not been notified.
As of 10-05 the air bag failure light intermittently remained lit after turning on the vehicle and the horn & cruise control items have failed to function at all. These items are all under the control of the clock spring mechanism located in the front steering, common to the Jeep Wrangler and Chrysler mini-vans. Chrysler mini-vans were recalled for this failure. When I asked how long it would take for this item to come in, I was told by the Chrysler/Jeep dealer that this mechanism gets replaced in mass volume and they keep them as a stock item at the dealership because of it. The dealers service rep also added that they would like to see this become a safety recall item. As of 12-05 the safety items will be restored by replacing the clock spring mechanism at a charge to the owner. It troubles me that Chrysler is waiting for a certain number of failures with possible injuries or deaths before a recall is undertaken on Jeep - especially when a recall was issued for this exact part on the mini-van line.
1. I was making a sharp turn when the steering wheel became stuck, then with a little force applied there was a snap and the clock spring broke. This resulted in the horn, cruise control, and air bag ceasing to work. 3. I have this scheduled to be fixed by the dealer.
