Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V018000 (air bags). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer (garavel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 300 westport ave, norwalk, ct 06851, (203) 845-8040) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall - bought my vehicle, no light was ever on. About 4 months after purchasing vehicle till present - airbags light comes on with dings, stays on. Electrical is failing, can't seem to find the reason for the electrical malfunctions. Cruise and trac control kick on and off whenever they want to, that has been scary (moving all 4 times, 4 on interstate, 1 as I was turning a sharp turn after I had slowed). In the date slot below, I will put the 1st known time it happened to me, as there has been several.
Takata recall, for my location has yet to be addressed. I have spoken to several employees in the service department of the dealership from which it was purchased as well as to several people including the manager of the dealership. Only one person from the service department looked up my vehicle on her computer and found the recalled and several complaints, attempted repairs that failed to be repaired, my service team manager lying to my face after being presented with NHTSA documentation proving my claims, several attempts to repair the recalled parts, service department claims in report, recalled problem repaired when it has not been or claiming unable to reproduce claimed recalled problem. For years until the manufacturers warranty and the extended service mechanical warranty as well as the extended internal warranty expired with out acknowledgment of the dangerous conditions I am having to drive a vehicle with several highly dangerous life threatening issues some recalled by manufacturer others they've ignored as well as ignoring me the owner. These issues continue to this day! the electrical system and computer, while driving on U.S. I-95 heading West in rush hour traffic my vehicle went dead surrounded by vehicles going well above the 55 mph speed limit. Some how I managed to manouver it thre lanes over to the non-exhisting pull over lane as the steering wheel was locked. There was no power. I called 911, who hung up on me, as did the local police department of princinct 3, only the arrival of the tow truck and driver who managed to set reflective warning triangles far behind my vehicle and repidly assisting me to exit my vehicle without injury or death. Then proceeded to tow my vtto the service department of the dealership. The side rear view mirrors with a heating element that is supposed to keep them dry and clear in all weather were claimed fixed. More

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (autonation Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram valencia, 23820 creekside rd, valencia, ca 91355, (661) 379-7709) where it was diagnosed that the air bag clockspring needed to be replaced.

Airbag light in on indicating a problem with the airbag. I contacted Jeep and they said the repair would be $600. If this is a safety item due to no result of my own, then why should I have to pay for the repair?
The clock spring on my Jeep appears to have failed. The airbag light on my Jeep is on. The dealership says as long as this light is on the airbags in my vehicle will not deploy as intended. I've researched this issue and Jeep (fca us) recalled a majority of Jeep from '07-'12 for this issue. Additionally they issued an extended warranty for the clock spring for most Wrangler from '11-'16. My vehicle should fall within each. I'm being told by both fca us and the Jeep dealership that this issue is not covered on my Jeep. This seems wrong when the clock spring issue is a known defect that presents a serious safety concern.
Takata recall, these airbags remain in my vehicle with the recall of temperature and humidity in my area make my vehicle a constant danger to my life and all those on any road or highway I may drive on. They contain metal components that kill. NHTSA is not doing nearly enough to get the manufacturer to take immediate action to replace said airbags before, highly possible multiple deaths occur. There are several problems with this vehicle, water accumulating on the floor in 8 to 12 inches on both front passenger sides. Not a drop was found anywhere else within the vehicle. It took 4 attempts to fix this problem and there is no, report other than those I have on a hard drive from someone my dealership had to call in to fix this issue, by the name of, "the waterman." Why are there no reports on file with the service department of my dealership. There are constant electrical problems, icons lighting up, repair department claiming they cannot repeat the issue. Though I have taken in photos of the dashboard as proof and evidence. The vehicle was under extended warranty mechanical and body outside S well as the entire interior.the carpet requires replacing refused by the service dept. The water caused the carpeting to become loose, the cheap plastic clip to hold the mat on the driver's side does not hold it in place, causing it to punch up under the accelerator and brake pedals.there is also a rip about an inch or so beside the plastic clip meant to hold the mat in place. This is a deadly defect waiting to happen. After twice being deemed repaired, both side view electric heated mirrors that are supposed to keep them clear from water, the dangerous problem still exists. The water damage has caused rust and corrosion to accumulate under the carpet where most of the wires and parts to the electrical system are placed and compromised.there are suspension problems, visibility
On the 2011 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many Jeep Wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2011 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler Chrysler has issued a letter stating that some Jeep may have a recall on this safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying. I contacted the dealership and they stated that I do not have a recall for this issue.
The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While starting the vehicle, the air bag indicator illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000.
My airbag light came on and then I found out there was a recall on the airbag system so I finally took it in and had it repaired but the light did not go off and now they are telling me that I have no airbags because the light is no but that had nothing to do with recall so I need to pay to see what the problem is" why would my airbag light come on and then I get a recall but yet that has nothing to do with it?" I do not know exactly when this happened but I think at least a year or more ago when the light came on and the recall came out but nobody had parts.
Air bag light randomly came on and continues to come on and off while driving, I have not had an accident. Also, gas cap has been replaced twice and the gascap light stays on. The air bag light is a safety concern.
My airbag warning light has been randomly coming on while driving. I researched the topic to find out that the clockspring was often the cause of this. I filled out a complaint mentioning the clockspring. Shortly after, and perhaps coincidentally, I received notice from Chrysler that my clockspring warranty had been extended to 15 years/unlimited miles. I took the Wrangler into the dealer and diagnostics suggested they needed to change the orc (occupant restraint controller) module. I asked them to hold off on the repair and I would do some research. That is my current status.
