2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Airbags Problems

The vehicle flipped down an embankment and into a creek and none of the air bags deployed, frontal or side curtains. Insurance adjuster has inspected vehicle. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure.

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

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN ON. I THOUGHT WHEN SOMEONE SITS THERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO OFF! I HAVE READ MULTIPLE STORIES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AND SEAT BELTS OR AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP NEEDS TO FIX ASAP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. LEXUS OF TUCSON ON SPEEDWAY (4373 E SPEEDWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85712, (520) 477-0582) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

AIRBAG LIGHT REFUSES TO GO OFF. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED.

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?

TAKATA RECALL DEFECTIVE/FAULTY AIR BAGS. AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY GOES ON AND OFF, ACTIVATING OR TURNING OFF THE AIRBAGS

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME A FEE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ ON MULTIPLE SITES THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH MY SPECIFIC MODEL AND YEAR. JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE ITS CUSTOMERS A FEE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN A SAFETY FUNCTION THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD SAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE CHANGING LANES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON AFTER STARTUP. I TOOK THE JEEP IN TO TEXAN : JEEP AT 18555 59 N HUMBLE, TEXAS 77338 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT ON 9/03/16.THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COMMUTICATING WITH THE PCM AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. SO IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. INSTEAD THEY PREFORMED 3 OTHER SAFTEY RECALLS THEY SAID THE JEEP NEEDED BUT AIR BAG PROBLEM THE WOULD NOT FIX.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CHRYSLER SAYS THEY NEED TO BE FIXED AND DO NOT WORK ALSO THE BACKING OF THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL CRACKED AND BROKE THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE DUE TO THE BACKING THAT HOLDS THE DOOR HANDLES TOGETHER HAVE ALL CRACKED AND BROKE.

MY JEEP WAS IN A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT END WAS TOTALLY BASHED IN AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT. THE JEEP IS A COMPLETE TOTAL AND THE AIR BAGS ARE STILL NOT DEPLOYED. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS YEAR AND TYPE OF VEHICLE? IT WAS IN MOTION AND RAN INTO A HUGE AREA WITH SEVERAL LARGE SIGNS.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH "0" OPEN RECALLS. AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS, HIT A POT HOLE AND THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE BOTH ON. IN ADDITION, THE TIRE INFLATION INDICATOR IS ON AND WE PAID TO HAVE A NEW SENSOR INSTALLED. LIGHT IS STILL ON-BEING TOLD THERE IS A MALFUNCTION. HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED WHICH STATE BOTH THE AIRBAG AND TIRE SENSOR INDICATORS HAVE COME ON AT THE SAME TIME.

MY AIRBAG ICON ON DASHBOARD USED TO FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE TRAVELING. IT IS NOW ON CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TRIED MOVING THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH TO NO AVAIL. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY AIRBAG HAS NOW BEEN DEACTIVATED.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FIRST CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. AT ONE TIME I COULD ADJUST THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I SEE THAT THE 2004 MODEL HAS A RECALL, AND MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LATE 2004, BUT IS NOT ON THE RECALL VIN LIST. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS MAY MEAN THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL, BUT RATHER THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE 2005 MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS LOOKS LIKE A LONG STANDING PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN THE 2005 MODEL.

NOTICED THE "PASS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT" WAS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. THEN I RECEIVED A P41 IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AFTER SWITCH REPLACEMENT. MY REASONING IS THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ORIGINALLY CAME ON BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE AIR BAG AND/OR IT'S SENSOR CIRCUITRY. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE UNDER THIS RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT PROBLEM WITH HOPEFULLY NO COST TO ME.

I HAVE A AIRBAG LIGHT THAT POPPED ON GOING OVER A BUMP DOWN THE ROAD.. I HAVE NOTICE THIS IS BECOMING A PROBLEM WITH MOST 2005 JEEPS
