Air bag light started to come on and off intermittently. on the second day it came on and stayed on. on the second day i also noticed no horn and no cruise control. all indications are that it is the clock spring. emailed chrysler to see if it was a recall or safety covered item. they stated no that the entire cost to replace it will be mine $300 plus dollars. from my understanding chrysler is having problems with a lot of clock springs. i feel they should cover this item as it is not an item that should fail that easily. | |||

On july 26, my son had a front impact wreck in his 2000 jeep cherokee sport that totaled the car, however neither the driver's side airbag, not the passenger's side airbag deployed. as a result of this crash, my son, who was driving hit his head on the steering wheel and required 11 stiches and my other son, who was the passenger in the car sustained a head injury requiring 8 sticthes as well as numerous impact bruises. injuries were minimized because both sons were wearing their seatbelts. *tr | |||

I have a 2000 jeep cherokee sport and the airbag light stays on now. i took it to the dealer and they say i need to pay for a 300.00 clock spring part to fix it. i checked the computer and seen numerous problems with the jeep airbags not working. has there been a recall on them? and if not if there's been so many cases of problems with them not working correctly is there anything being done to protect the consumer? thank you | |||
