Rear passenger tail light does not work at night or rather when the car lights are turned on.

I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo with 100k miles. The airbag light turns on periodically with a "ding" and then shuts off. I believe that this is a problem from the factory because a number of other owners of this same vehicle model have complained of this exact problem around the same amount of mileage. Jeep should make this a recall because it is a safety issue and it was caused by faulty parts not the…

I own a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. The air bag light and alarm goes off constantly. Jeep dealer reported a break in "clock spring" in steering colum. Says it is a common probelm. Jeep will not fix. Cost is $186.00. I think this common probelm is a design flaw and causes an unnecessary distraction while driving.*ak

The air bag warning light & chime went on for no apparent reason. The dealer first replaced the "air bag" computer and, on a second repair visit a "clock spring" and charged me a total of $600 for these repairs. I don't feel i should have to pay for repairs for this safety item. Failure of the air bag computer could result in the failure of the air bags to deploy in a front crash. Mr
