5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2013

Blower motor resistor heated up to the point that there was smoke coming from under the passenger side glove compartment. After further investigation it was discovered that the wires and the resistor had both been charred and melted. Not only do I no longer have any heat or a/c but I also no longer have a window defroster and this poses a serious safety issue to myself, any passengers I may have and as well to other drivers on the road. Not to mention the fire that was only barely thwarted off.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2006

My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and Jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?.

My son was driving our 2000 Jeep cherokee lareado when he was hit on the passenger side from another vehicle on March 25, 2002 at approx. 1:30 pm. The force of this collision push the car towards the left and the Jeep went directly into a cement wall head on. Fortunately both the driver and passenger had seat belts on, but neither airbags deployed when the vehicle hit the wall. At the time of impact, my son did hit the windsheild, which cause several facial cuts and could of been avoided had the airbags deployed.
