12 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

The airbag light goes on intermittently while driving because of the driver seat belt sensor issues per the mechanic. Also, the passenger seat recline lever broke right off, so we can no longer recline. More importantly, the car sometimes won't even start. Dashboard panel just remains black, and the engine does not even turn over. Just silent. After waiting a few moments, it starts perfectly. Mechanics don't know.

2 years! for over 12 years my airbag light has been on. . . . . For 2 years this vehicle has had this recall for the occupant restraint controller. The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability . . . 2 years I I have inquired about getting this fixed, for 2 years I am being told that the parts are not available. . . Yet they are churning out new Jeeps every single day. . . Why cant this be replaced with one from the new Jeeps? thankfully I haven't had an accident, and needed this airbag, but what if I would? what if I were to have an accident where an airbag could have saved my life? will Jeep do something then? why aren't they being held accountable to fix this? mileage and speed entries are just number to fill the blanks, since I did not have an accident. . . The date filled in is the date the recall was posted.
