15 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2014

Dear sir/madam: this concerns the m35 recall relating to the Jeep Grand Cherokee (2003 in my case). Yesterday, 2-26-14, the dealership supposedly performed the fix to resolve the issue with the airbag system. This was the 3rd time that I had made an appointment after they had presumably gotten the parts needed to do the job. The previous 2 times, in March and September 2013, after getting to the dealership and considerable waiting, I ended being told that they could not perform the service because they did not have the parts--¿¿prior to March 2013, they said not to know what parts were needed. The problem I have is that the airbag warning light is still on and they refused to fix it alleging that the recall did not provide for that. I found this illogical. On the one hand, I believe the warning light comes on when there is a problem with the airbag system and, on the other hand, they are telling me that they have now fixed the problem with the airbag system. Around the time Chrysler Jeep informed of the problem, my airbag warning light turned on. It took contacts over a year'¿¿s time with the dealership to finally have them "¿¿correct"¿� the problem and I am now left wondering if it has indeed been corrected. I would appreciate it if someone were to look into this.
