Failure Date: 01/07/2013

I have experienced a warning light staying on for the air bag system. I took the car to the dealer for this problem a couple of years ago and spent between $300-400 for a repair. In January there was a safety recall by Jeep for a problem with the airbag deploying unexpectedly while driving. This is a serious safety concern and my wife and I fear driving the car. I contacted the dealer to schedule the recall corrective action immediately and was told the part to perform the repair was not yet available. I called again in March and was told I would be contacted when the part was available. I called this week, June 6, and was told by the local Jeep dealer that they had called Chrysler that morning and were told it was indefinite when the part would be available. My wife and I have been limiting our driving for over six months waiting for this recall corrective action. That is unacceptable. People's lives are being put at risk. Please take action against Jeep/Chrysler to require them to immediately provide corrective action.

44 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2012

Airbag warning light as well as an audible tone began intermittently alerting in this car. Dealership is able to confirm airbag fault codes, but is not able to fix the car after repeated attempts and one $500. 00 repair that failed. Chrysler group llc has refused to provide any assistance. My vehicle remains at the dealership with no action being taken and has been there for more than four months. No one at Chrysler group llc or the dealership can as much as assure me that it is even safe to drive home. I contacted Chrysler group a few time in the beginning and ultimately Chrysler called me and essentially said ¿your car is ready. Go the dealership and pick it up. ¿� I commented that the dealership had stated that the airbag alerts were still occurring and that fault codes that could not be used to make the repair still existed in the system. Chrysler replied that the dealership had confirmed that codes were in fact present in the system that could not be related to an identifiable repair, and that the airbag warning system was still alerting, but that both situations had nothing to with the recall. I asked specifically how he could simultaneously state that an unidentifiable airbag system fault code existed, but that it categorically was not related to the recall. He became angry and frustrated and instructed me to not question him. It is evident from the aforementioned chain of events that nether Chrysler group llc or the dealership are prepared to implement these repairs or actually know what is causing the inadvertent deployment of the airbags in the affected vehicles. There have been as many as 215 reported cases of these inadvertent airbag deployments, and Chrysler has proven unable or unwilling to implement the necessary repairs. It is just a matter of time until an innocent individual is seriously injured or killed.

56 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2011

The air bag warning light in our 2002 Jeep Liberty comes on intermittently for no apparent reason. We have experienced recurring incidents of this problem since early 2011. We have been unable to correlate any particular conditions or situations that may trigger these air bag warning light events. We have had an auto maintenance facility look for any diagnostic alarms or alerts via diagnostic computer evaluation and their feedback was that there is no apparent or obvious reason for the air bag light to turn on. Our concern with this situation is that it may be an indication of a potential airbag defect such as the one currently under investigation by the NHTSA related to random deployment of the airbags in 2002 Jeep Liberty vehicles. We are the original owners of this vehicle. Thank you.

57 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2010

After seeing multiple stories regarding the airbags in Jeep liberties randomly going off, I noticed that most of the incidents occurred after the owners mentioned seeing the airbag light on dashboard going on off periodically. Although the airbags in our Jeep Liberty have not gone off unexpectedly, we have been experiencing the airbag warning light going on and off for at least a year. When brought into dealership they could not explain why light was going on and off. I am concerned about driving this Jeep Liberty with the potential that it could go off. I figured notifying the safety commission was the best thing to do.
