| About three or four days prior to the incident, i noticed upon starting the vehicle(2009 jeep wrangler rubicon - lhd), that the airbag indicator light on the dashboard was lit, indicating that the airbag was not functioning. i had noticed previously that the airbag light would come on, and then go away, so i thought nothing of it. however, on the date of the incident, as i drove the vehicle and was turning the steering wheel, i heard what sounded like a thin plastic wrapper crinkling as if caught between the stationary part of the steering column and the rotating rear section of the steering wheel. when i stopped the vehicle, i noticed a flat strip plastic encased copper wire leads appeared to be unraveling from between the stationary portion of the steering column and the rotating rear section of the steering wheel. i drove the vehicle to my auto repair garage, and the technician identified the part as the airbag clockspring assembly. the assembly apparently failed during normal vehicle use and now results in a reduced level of protection for myself in the event of accident. after researching the matter, i have discovered that many other owners of 2008, 2009 and 2010 jeep wranglers (lhd) have experienced similar failures with their airbags. the repair garage advised me that there was a recall on rhd jeep wranglers of the same model years for the same assembly. *tr | |||

| My airbag warning light turned on. it would intermittently turn on and off after that until i had it fixed. it would turn on and off with a frequency of about one every other minute sounding off a warning chime. i did some research and learned that this symptom is a common problem with my model year of vehicle and has been a problem with model years 2007 and up. the problem is with the clockspring mechanism in the steering column that has something to do with the air bag. it apparently has something to do with the function of the airbag and is already the subject of recalls on other model years as well as a recall on the 2009 rhd version of the wrangler. they clearly are using the same part on these models and should be a recall on all models that have this part. i brought it to the dealer to get fixed and jeep determined that it was a faulty clockspring mechanism and i had it replaced as it obviously is a safety risk. please investigate this and have them recall all models with the same clockspring mechanism before someone gets hurt or killed. i am currently negotiating with chrysler corporation regarding this repair but i paid for the entire repair myself. *tr | |||
