Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2007 Jeep Compass

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph the dashboard and sensor lights began to flash off and on before the airbags suddenly inadvertently deployed. The contact suffered a neck injury during the incident and was later treated. A police report was taken at the scene. The contact also indicated that approximately 4 minutes after the initial air bag deployment the secondary steering wheel air bag had deployed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 117,000. Jft.

My airbag sensor light started coming off and on as I was driving in December of 2008. I took the car in to the dealer and was told the problem was fixed by the dealer. Like clockwork in the winter of 2009 and continuing until today the light is coming off and on constantly (every 3-10 miles). There is no rhyme or reason to it, I can be accelerating, decelerating, at a complete stop etc. Besides being annoying I have read that other customers have had the same problem with their Jeeps. I have asked Jeep customer service to replace the part at no cost to me since I am no longer under warranty but they told me they are unable to do that, and I am unable to afford the $300+ part they need to "fix" this problem once again.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass fwd. On June 19, 2007, after coming to a stop, the contact accelerated and the vehicle stalled. The check oil light illuminated. She was able to immediately restart the vehicle. She went to the dealer to have the vehicle checked, but they stated that the vehicle was fine. The vehicle's computer lost its programming when she stopped to put gas in the vehicle. The contact also stated that the passenger side air bag light illuminated, as if the air bag was not working. The mechanic advised her not to put her purse on the seat because it may cause the air bag sensor to deprogram itself. The current mileage is 17,200 and failure mileage was 17,150.
