2017 JEEP WRANGLER Air Bags Problems

The clock spring has failed. There is a current recall for the clock spring mechanisms in the 2011-2016 Jeep Wranglers. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic who informed me of the recall to begin with. The fuse for the clock spring (along with all the other fuses) are working as normal. There was no warning lights prior to the clock spring failure (however, I've been told that it's normal). The issue arose on 08/07/25. The 'step' button, 'reset' button, channel change paddle, volume change paddle, and the horn don't work. The airbag also might not work (haven't tested it out frankly). The cruise control buttons seem to work however I don't use cruise control in this vehicle. The vehicle is a 2017 RHD Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport.

Clockspring failed. No horn, driver airbag, controls to cycle evic and radio stopped working.

The airbag light is on. The clocksprin is the failure and is very expensive at the dealer.

The airbag clockspring is defective. I know other years have a recall on the defective part. The cost of labor and the cost of the part is too expensive. I consider this a safety issue and feel like it should be under a recall like the previous model years.

Airbag light continually goes off and on with alerting beep and light

TOOK 2016 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON HARD ROCK EDITION IN FOR A RECALL REPAIR OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSOR. DEALERSHIP WANTED $50 TO DO THE WORK BECAUSE I HAD A WINCH INSTALLED. MY JEEP HARD ROCK EDITION WAS DESIGNED AT THE FACTORY TO RECEIVE THIS SPECIFIC BRAND AND MODEL OF WINCH SO I REFUSED TO PAY. I CONTACTED JEEP BY PHONE AND ASKED THEM TO INTERVENE. THEY REFUSED. I TOLD THE DEALER I WAS LEAVING WITHOUT HAVING IT FIXED AND MY ESTATE WOULD SUE THEM IF I WAS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEN HE AGREED TO FIX IT FREE. THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT BUT WHEN I DROVE OFF I IMMEDIATELY SAW A WARNING MESSAGE SAYING THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP WAS OUT. I MADE U TURN AND WENT RIGHT BACK.THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. I LEFT. THEN MY BATTERY DRAINED DOWN. I CONTACTED JEEP AND ASKED THEM TO INTERVENE. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALL DONE RIGHT THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. I FOUND OUT THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR BY SOLDERING WIRES. 2+ HOURS LATER THEY SAID ALL IT NEEDED WAS A BULB. I ASKED IF THEY HAD TO ORDER BULBS. THEY SAID THEY STOCK THEM AND DENIED EVER TELLING ME THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. THEY ADMITTED THERE WAS STILL AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF ELECTRICAL MODIFICATIONS I HAD MADE AND WANTED ME TO PAY THEM TO TROUBLESHOOT IT. THE WINCH WAS THE ONLY ELECTRICAL MODIFICATION AND IT WAS INSTALLED ALMOST 1 YEAR BEFORE I TOOK THE JEEP IN AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY DID THE RECALL WORK NOR DID THEY HAVE ANY TROUBLE STARTING IT OR SEE ANY WARNING MESSAGES WHEN I TOOK IT IN FIR THE RECALL IN LATE AUGUST. WITHIN 2 MILES OF DRIVING I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING. WITHIN 3 MILES ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED WILDLY GOING OFF AN ON RANDOMLY AND SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH. THEY DID NOT PROPERLY MAKE THE AIRBAG SENSOR REPAIR.
