Air Bag Light On problems of the 2007 Jeep Commander

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. While driving approximately 60 mph, the passenger side air bags deployed without warning or impact. An abnormal sound was heard and the air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where pictures were taken; however, it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact would have to wait for a safety investigator. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the investigation. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000.

On 2/11/14 took vehicle into the Chrysler dealership because of the starter motor not working properly and it had turned off while I was driving on several occasions. They had to replace the starter motor and I had to pay for it. After this the air bag light went on and I would think this is a safety issue and I should not had to pay for any of this. But I did. They told me they had to replace a short in the harness part #5143387aa. Also, the said the driver seat belt was causing air bag light to go on. This was a defect. I believe that if these are recalls and safety issues from Chrysler and I had to pay for them I would think that Chrysler should reimburse me for taking care of these problems before something bad really happened. I am always maintaining my vehicle and I am very glad that I have taken care of these problems. I would appreciate a email back and hopefully a refund for paying for something that should have been a recall. I have all of my records and receipts if you need copies. Thank you.
