This happens consistently whenever you use the vehicle. The airbag system will need to be diagnosed with a scanner to identify the fault code and determine what component needs repair or replacement.

I HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. HIT THREE HARD OBJECTS,KNOCKING DOWN A TREE. THE AIRBAG SAFETY AND SEATBELT SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK, STRANGE THING, THE DRIVER SEAT DID NOT WORK AND THE PASSENGER EMPTY SEAT DID. THE JEEP WAS TOTAL. THE ROOTS OF THE TREE GOT INTO THE CABIN AN.
