2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Takata recall - had my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for the recall in January 2018. They fixed airbag recall and problem seatbelt light constantly being on even when driver is correctly seatbelted in- the light stays on. Now, it is August 27, 2018 and both air bag light and seat belt light are back on. Also, the fuel tank skid plate is completely rusted through. This leaves the gas tank fully exposed, leaving you susceptible to any number of possible scenarios where the fuel tank could ignite, especially if one was to be rear ended by another vehicle. It is not protected by "solution" to replace the tow bar package. I know serveral other people with the same vehicle and fuel tank skid plate rusting through completely. This combination of the takata airbags deploying unexpectedly along with the exposed fuel tank, & truly endangers the lives of the driver, all occupants and potentially anyone else in the vicinity, if one or both we're to explode. Potentially caused me lose of life to those involved.

12 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2013

I was driving home from a camping trip with my family on 9/2/13 on hwy 2 in laurel hill, FL, traveling approximately 50 mph on a two-lane road when the air bag light on the dashboard illuminated and shortly thereafter the driver-side airbag deployed. Nanoseconds later the passenger-side airbag deployed. I managed to keep from running off the road and pulled off onto the narrow shoulder. My wife's knee was hurt pretty badly as the dash opened up and hit her knee when the airbag deployed tearing the skin off her left knee and bruising both the knee and surrounding tissue and the inner portion of her right knee as well. Her injury did not require any hospitalization. I contacted Chrysler because I read online that there was a recall (m35) that affected my year model and make. They told me that my VIN was not included in the recall though our experience seemed to match up with the recall. The Jeep is currently at the dealership following an inspection and the case remains open.
