Air bag warning light first came on intermittently. At one time I could adjust the passenger seat and correct the problem. It now stays on all the time. I see that the 2004 model has a recall, and mine was manufactured in late 2004, but is not on the recall VIN list. I did not realize that this may mean the airbag is not functioning at all, but rather thought it was just an electrical problem. The 2005 model should have been included in this recall. This looks like a long standing problem with previous years models and obviously has not been corrected in the 2005 model.

Like many I have read my airbag warning light has been coming on intermittently. I've read this is likely a clock spring failure. The light has been coming on for about 2 weeks with a "ding" noise and the dashboard light. This happens while driving. It happens frequently (every couple of minutes). Researched on internet to see what the cause may be and noticed that many others are reporting the exact same issue with the 1999 to 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee's. They have been told it was a clock spring failure and made to pay $310+ to have it fixed.
When it goes below 20 degrees f, the passenger seat senses someone sitting in it when there is no one there. The airbag light lights on the passenger side and the red airbag light lights. If I push down and release the seat cushion, the passenger airbag light goes off, then the red airbag warning light goes off. In 30 seconds, it all comes back on and starts dinging the alarm again. This has been happening for quite some time but my Jeep/Dodge dealer does not seem to want to help.
I saw the news this morning that Chrysler Jeep has admitted to a defect where the Jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag. My Jeep has turned off/stalled soon after I have started driving it on a number of occasions. It sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves. This usually happens right after I pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic. I have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem. As a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a Jeep dealership when I left the dealership warning lights turned on -- I went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (I didn't have time to pursue the issue and I got no where with the dealership). More recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off). Finally, I went to the Chrysler website this morning and entered my VIN and was told there was no recall or notices. I hope that the NHTSA requires Chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
