The airbag warning light was on and remained on every time the vehicle was on. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that there was a recall on the active head restraint but that the issue causing the warning light to be on was due to a fault orc circuit. The service advisor informed me that this was not covered and that I had to pay $500 to have it repaired. I went online and noticed this is a common issue with this vehicle. So the options for the consumer is to pay to have it fixed or risk your airbag not deploying. This is a huge safety concern if someone does not have the means to pay $500 to replace the faulty circuit. This should be considered a defect and a recall posted for this orc circuit.
There was a recall on the Liberty so I took it to the dealership and before April 26,2015 the airbag light was not present the Liberty was backed into at a high speed and the airbags did not deploy. The company that repaired my car after the wreck told me the airbag light was on, the airbags tried to deploy but malfunctioned. They fixed the light I guess by resetting it. Now 5 months later the light is back on for the airbags and it will not go off.
Air bag stays on. I took to dealer in fairbanks, ak. Was told there's a recall but no remedy yet. However, they could fix it for $1,000. Since I did not choose to pay $1,000, they made me sign a form indicating I'm aware that the airbags may not deploy in an accident. How is it they can fix it if I fork over $1,000 but not able to as a recall? so now I'm going drive for months until they get a remedy just like the hitch problem. Both of which are serious safety issues.

We had the m35 recall done at south point Chrysler Jeep Dodge in tulsa ok on approximately August 2, 2014. On September 18, 2014 my daughter was involved in a highway intersection accident where her car sustained front end damage so bad it was totaled. She was driving approximately 10mph and the other car was going 65mph. None of the airbags deployed when the collision happened. The other cars airbags deployed. That car was totaled also. I have several pictures of my daughters car immediately after the collision. The police, fire department and oklahoma highway patrol all were surprised her airbags did not deploy. Subsequently she has sustained a concussion and is having to have several mris and CT scans due to the car accident. I would like to know why her airbags did not deploy at impact. I thought this recall was suppose to take car of airbags from deploying inadvertently but didn't think it would cause them to not function at all.
