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

Clock spring went out on my Jeep and airbag is non functional. Recall only goes to 2010 but mine is a 2011 with the same design and part so why is it not covered in recall. Airbag light is illuminated and non funtioning.

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.

Jeep does not go into reverse. When in reverse it is like park.. all the positions are off and not what they should be. Could it be shift control. Also why wasn't passenger airbag inflator problem notified to Jeep owner " will a loaner auto be giving while Jeep is being repaired "

Clock spring recall S33 does not cover Jeep Wrangler 2011 left hand drive models! warning this is unsafe and a 10 on the oem's dfmea! unfair. This 2011 clock spring failure causes airbag light and same code as the 2007 - 2010 and 2011 right drive recalls. I have dealer repair receipts to prove. Why aren't the left hand 2011 Jeep jk Wrangler included in this safety recall? keep all your documentation and report to fca and to NHTSA if you have same issue to get reimbursement when they do recall the left hand model.

Takata inflators. After calling Jeep Chrysler regarding the recall notification I was informed that the company does not have a fix, other than not allowing passengers. As they do not have a repair I inquired about the other options (buy back and trading for a non affecting vehicle) and was informed that Jeep Chrysler would not perform either action in accordance with the NHTSA guidelines. If companies are required to comply with federal guidelines, how can they arbitrarily chose not to honor them? we are a single vehicle home and now we cannot use it to Transport our family without risk of injury or death and Jeep Chrysler has no repair in place and they will not accept a return or a swap to a safe vehicle.
