2010 Jeep Patriot Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The airbag clock spring fails. The horn will go off unexpectedly while driving and parked when the car is turned off This is causing drivers to look in panic and emergency causing distracted driving I took this to the dealer 2 years ago before someone posted this online what the issue was. They could not find the issue There are no lights or warnings that appear I know another person with a 2012 jeep wrangler and that air bag clock spring was recalled

Noticing a recall before, I'm concerned with my airbag light being on. Can it still be defected.

IVE BEEN WAITING AN UNREASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME (8.5 MONTHS) FOR JEEP TO MAKE A OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE FOR MY CAR. I'M TRYING TO USE MY CAR FOR EMPLOYMENT (UBER, LFYT, DELIVERY DRIVING) BUT UNABLE TO BECAUSE I KEEP FAILING AN INSPECTION BECAUSE THERE IS A SENSOR LIGHT THAT SHOWS UP ON MY DASH BOARD. I CAN'T WAIT TILL AUGUST, I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FUNCTIONING CAR PLEASE. I HAVE BILLS AND CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT ANY LONGER.

JEEP HAS FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V-668 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: S61 RECALL DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2016 I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK WE ARE PROTECTED BY THE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS.

I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE ORC (16V-668) LAST OCTOBER AND IT IS ALMOST THE END OF JUNE WITH NO WORD ON WHEN TO EXPECT REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE NOTICE MENTIONED PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE STARTING IN JUNE 2017. I FEEL THAT THIS SHORTING CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE MY AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE BY NOW. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND RISKING MY LIFE DOING SO. THIS MATTER IS NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM VERY UPSET WITH FCA ON HOW THIS IS BEING HANDLED.
