Air Bag Light On problems of the 2012 Jeep Liberty - part 2

Started up the car around 8/24/2015 and the red airbag light came on in the middle of the dash. It remains on at all times while the vehicle is on.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving at any speed the air bag light stayed on continuously. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed that the occupant restraint control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign 13v282000 (air bags, electrical system).

Recently I took my 2012 Jeep Liberty in for a recall repair on the active head restraints. The airbag dash light has been on for about a month and a half, and it hasn't really bothered me until today. I was called by rancho Jeep/Dodge during my recall repair today, and the mechanic took a very aggressive sales type persona regarding me fixing the airbag light, which he quoted me at over $400 for everything. I said no, and he persisted to try to sell me on fixing this light. I also work in sales, so I was very well aware that he was following some company instruction to push hard to get me to fix this issue. Then I noticed there is an open investigation regarding exactly this problem. I also read the below articles and found that many people are currently having issues with airbag failures on their Jeep Liberty vehicles. Please get Chrysler to fix this, it seems they may even be following poor business practices by trying to get customers to fix this issue by spending their own money before a recall is issued by NHTSA. .

Started Jeep and air bags light came on and stayed on.

I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty limited 4x4 and the airbag light will not turn off a couple of months ago it will come on stay on then turn off but all of the sudden it just stayed on all the time. I have called the dealer and Chrysler to tell them about the problem but since I didn't buy the extended warranty they want to charge for me to take it in and for them to get a code. I feel like it's a safety issue and they should take care if the problem . The car has not been in an accident or anything like that I don't see why they can't take care of that problem.

Started the Jeep one morning and the airbag light came on and has been on ever since.

Air bag light came on, will not go off. Taking it in to dealer, told not a warranty item. Online forum indicates this is a common problem from a defective component, what if someone cannot afford the $1000 repair?.

At around 40k miles the airbag light in the dash came on and would not turn off. When we took the car to get it inspected it failed inspection due to the airbag light and the mechanic told us we would have to take the car to the Jeep dealer to have them diagnose and fix the issue. We took the car to the dealer and they said the issue was the orc module and it would have to be replaced and it would cost $650. This part was recalled on the 2011 Jeep Liberty and I have read a lot of complaints online about this part on the 2012 Liberty. We have no choice in replacing this part or our car will not pass inspection and our only option is to take it to a Jeep dealer to replace.

We bought the 2012 Jeep Liberty last year and the airbag light came on randomly last week when I started it and hasn't turned off. I called the dealership and they said it would be $125. 00 to diagnose the problem then more money to fix it. After researching online and not having the money to fix this issue I am afraid that the airbags might deploy while I am driving.

Airbag light came on while driving. (this is first time) then it went off for a few minutes and came back on again. Concerned that airbag could blow up in my face while driving!! also received recall notice for head restraint and then a notice that dealer will contact me when part is in. That was over 3 months ago!!!.

Airbag light came on. I took it to the dealer. Dealer said it is not covered under any recall and therefore will cost me ~$600 to repair. The manufacturer should repair faulty airbags free of charge.

Air bag light stays on. Concerned because Jeep has a history of airbag problems.

The airbag light came on while driving. We later received a recall notice for the airbags. We took the 2012 Jeep Liberty to spitzer Jeep in brookpark OH on November 5, 2014. They called later that day and said they were fixing the recall issue, but the airbag light was on because the module needs replaced and as of now the airbags are essentially "offline" meaning they will not deploy in the event of an accident. They said it would be $350-$400 to replace. One would think Chrysler would handle any issue with the airbags given they have thousands of vehicles with airbag issues. We do not have the money to currently fix this and so are having to risk safety over cost.

Airbag light came on at about 38000 miles and has remained on ever since. Presumably I would have no airbags in a wreck. I'm writing because I read that the NHTSA was looking into the 2012 Liberty for this exact issue.

Airbag light is on constantly. Dealer claims that the orc module is bad, but it is not covered by the recall (n38) that states that "Jeep will . . . Replace the orc module free of charge". The vehicle is less than 2 years old and has not been subjected to any abuse or damage.

I started my 2012 Jeep Liberty 4 days ago and the airbag light stayed on. Why would a 2012 Jeep havethis problem, I purchased this vehicle when it had 29,538 miles on it. It now has 39,300 miles on it, so it is out of warranty and my extended warranty does not cover this issue with the airbag. I don't have the $95 to diagnosis this issue, the $95 is only for diagnosis. I hope there will be a recall or something for this issue soon. As of right now, I have no airbag system.

While driving car, the airbag light came on. Instructions in owner's manual states to take to dealer immediately for repair. Called dealer and have appointment on August 12.

After starting my vehicle and putting it into reverse, my airbag light came on. It is now staying on solid and is not blinking. I called the dealership where I purchased my Jeep, and they told me to schedule an appointment and they could get me in to make sure it is not an issue of a rabbit or a rodent chewing up the wires, and then they will decide if its a safety issue. But in the meantime all in one breath, they told me my vehicle is safe to drive. There was not, and has not been anything in my passenger seat since almost 24 hours ago.

Turned the car on and the airbag light came on. Stayed on the entire time I was driving.

On 3/25/14 I took my 2012 Jeep Liberty to my dealer planet Dodge located at 9975 NW. 12th Ave. Miami, FL 33172 to fix the recall n38 (air bag). I was informed by letter that the active head restrains (ahr) on my 2012 Jeep Liberty may not deploy during a rear end collision. As a result, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard. The only feasible solution for this problem is to replace the module that controls the air bags. Unfortunately Chrysler group llc is only replacing the module to the 2011 Jeep Liberty free of charge unlike the 2012 Jeep Liberty, which the costumer has to pay for the same labor. The only authorize procedure to "fix" the problem is to "reprogram" the module, not replace it, which didn't fix the problem because the air bag light is still on. I'm extremely upset with this situation because Chrysler group llc is not complying with the requirements of the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act, putting at risk the safety of my family.

On 3/29/13 the airbag light came on the dashboard and I took it to the dealership received a loner and they called me the next day saying the car was fixed. They conducted: 1) multi-point inspection, 2) replaced the orc module, stated 3) that there was in fact an electrical issue which was an internal failure in the vehicle. Nhtsa has now forced the manufacturer to issue a recall and in the notice, all the notice states as a remedy is repetitive of the work the work done on the vehicle in March. In addition, if the manufacturer does not have the parts as stated in the notice, how could they have fixed the problem in March then? my vehicle is defective and no one has come forward to reassure me that upon collision the airbags will deploy and there won't be any such mechanical failure as stated in the recall.

Passenger air bag light wont turn off from dash board and light from under the radio. No issues as far as airbags deploying.

I've been driving my Jeep around to work and home everyday and I notice the passenger air bag light flashes where it says it's off. Today 2/17/2013 I drove 100 miles from a small trip and the light was on the entire time I was driving. I haven't had any accidents.

Air bag warning indicator lamp lit.

Air bag lights stay on continously. Manufacture date 10/2011. Suspect clockspring since Jeep wrangler has this problem.

Air bag warning indicator light came on for no reason.
