5 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 09/21/2020

While driving approaching a stop my driver side headrest air bag deployed striking me in the head and almost causing an accident with the stopped vehicle infont of me. Upon resuming driving no airbag indicator light was present. When I arrived at my home I noticed the retainer did not release rather the plastic around the retainer pin failed causing deployment. I see this is an ongoing problem with many and fear the passengers side will fail next.

6 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 03/03/2020

Well my airbag light is on and will not go off! I took it to the mechanic and they reassured me the airbags are there and haven't been deployed at all. But my concern is that the light is on for a reason either the seatbelts or the airbags are faulty. No matter if I'm parked or if I'm in motion the airbag light is always on and I want to be safe and secure that if I'm in an accident I won't be killed because my airbags didn't deploy as they should! I know my Jeep is old but it's in good condition I'm not sure what else to do about this problem because I searched by my VIN and it hasn't had a recall about that problem so please get back to me as soon as possible.

28 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/07/2017

Air bag light is constantly flashing and rendering cruise control useless. Everything work as necessary, then one day when attempting to get on highway, I pressed cruise control only for it to flash in the dash panel, then disappear. Once off the highway to my destination, I turned the Grand Cherokee off. When I got back in the vehicle, the airbag light stayed on for at least 15 minutes then shut off. During the time of the air bag light on, I was able to press the cruise control and have it stay on the dash panel, but I still had no use of it. Once the air bag light shut off, I then pressed cruise control again just for it to flash on then back off. Now the passenger airbag light is flashing or stays illuminated when the vehicle is being used. My Jeep just passed 125,000 miles. This shouldn't happen to sucha low mileage vehicle for the age. . Who will fix this mess?.

29 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/29/2017

On Aug. 29 2017 my airbag light came on. I took the vehicle to mullane motors in lockport NY, for repair. I was told a side impact air bag sensor had shorted out and needed replacing, and spent $332. 57 to have it fixed. When I arrived to pick up my Jeep, I was told that the same sensor was still �shorting out� and that standard operating procedure was to replace the occupant restraint control module. I asked when that could be completed and was told that the �part is unavailable,� in any way shape or form, and that it was unknown when or if at all this part would ever be available. I telphoned fiat Chrysler corp in auburn hills, mi concerning this issue, and was told the same thing, that the part is �currently unavailable and on national back order� was given a case number, and was told I would be called back in 24 to 48 hours. No one called me back. I telephoned the company again a week later and was again told someone would call me back in 24 to 48 hours. It has now been a week, and I have not heard from Chrysler. At this time, my airbag light is still on, and it is indicated in my owners manual that my airbags may not function in a collision, which I feel makes my vehicle unsafe to drive.

30 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/10/2017

Less then 30 days ago I purchased a used 2006 Jeep cherokee laredo 4x2. The dealer said the airbag sensor just needed replaced no big deal. Now I am experiencing the same thing as alot of older people. The driver's side seat belt started not latching unless I press down on the red button. So then the red seat belt indicator light won't go off and the audible chimes continuously and will not shut off while driving no matter what I do. Moving the seat belt around to try and get the chime to stop as well as the audible chiming while driving makes it very annoying and distracting from the road. I need answers on why this should be at my cost when between the airbag and seat belt sensors are truly safety issue. Their is no warranty at 154457 miles. Please advise on the airbag recall etc. . . The airbag light was on when purchased 7/18/17. The seat belt chiming and light started staying on 8/10/17.

32 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 06/19/2017

I bought the car less than a year ago. The car is a 2013. The airbag light came on. I went to the dealership to have it checked. They informed me the passenger seat belt needs to be replaced. This seems ridiculous consideing the car is less than 5 years old. I ended up haigb to pay over $300 for a new passenger seat belt including installation. What would have happened had I got into an accident? why is such a new seat belt failing? should I worry that my driver's seat belt will fail as well? it doesn't seem this should be happening on such a new car. I am happy to provide repair receipts as requested.
