7 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2011

The airbag system stopped working on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and my warning light came on. I've taken it in to the dealer and they reset the sensor and as I drive away from the dealer the warning light comes back on. After doing a little research online I've concluded that this is a common safety issue in 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokees. The manufacturer needs to resolve this safety issue.

9 Warning Light On problem

I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 170,000 miles. Recently, the airbag warning light will ding and light-up. The light will then turn off after a few seconds and then may relight again. This problem has been occurring for the past few weeks. I have not yet tried to correct the failure because the problem may not happen for a few days and then start again.

The abs warning light illuminated. The air bag light also illuminated. The dealer replaced the clock spring.

11 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2002

The air bag warning light & chime went on for no apparent reason. The dealer first replaced the "air bag" computer and, on a second repair visit a "clock spring" and charged me a total of $600 for these repairs. I don't feel I should have to pay for repairs for this safety item. Failure of the air bag computer could result in the failure of the air bags to deploy in a front crash. Mr.

12 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2002

The vehicle exhibits a sag/hesitation following a partial cool down restart, possibly an oxygen sensor problem. While making hard left turns at slow speeds (such as a u-turn), the airbag warning light illuminates and a audible chime is activated. The right side brake light assembly is burnt (internally) due to some kind of electrical overheating. The vehicle shifts hard, misses shifts, shifts repeatedly at constant speed and on a level grade. The rear differantial "bumps" very hard within 3-20 seconds of coming to a complete stop. An immovable "fog" has developed on the lenses of the composite headlight assemblies.
