When exiting the express way yesterday, my airbag light turned on and dinged about 3 times and turned off. This is the first time my grand cherokee laredo has done this in the year that i have owned it. I'd like to note my previous car, a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited, would have this issue everyday. It is not safe for my airbags to be disabling while my car is in motion. Especially since it is having a stalling…

One week ago without warning at 35 mph going straight ahead car warning chime started and airbag warning light came on then went off. Now it constantly blinks on at random times, no apparent reason, i.e., stopped, driving at various speeds straight ahead, left or right turns, up or down hills, starting off or parked. Now becoming more and more frequent, sometimes for a minute or so it remains on, sometimes no more…

Air bag light illuminates and chimes sporadically. I was told by jeep mechanic, the clock spring needs to be replaced at $370.00. This does not seem to be an isolated incidence.

My airbag light has been lit up on the dash for well over a year now and still beeping loudly at me every few minutes. I want to know why it's my responsibility to pay for this to be fixed at the the price of 450.00 (dealership quote)? There is no reason for why the clock spring should be broken and have to be fixed. I am not the only person complaining of this problem and i want to know why there hasn't been a…

This is just the beginning of my complaints, it will take another 3 or 4 of these forms to touch all of them. While running the heater with the fan going it started smelling like it was burning and then the blower quit running. It turned out to be the blower motor resistor. It had melted to the point of fusing the wires into the plastic which the resistor was made of. It was a fire hazard! The part cost us $270.00…

Blower motor resistor heated up to the point that there was smoke coming from under the passenger side glove compartment. After further investigation it was discovered that the wires and the resistor had both been charred and melted. Not only do i no longer have any heat or a/c but i also no longer have a window defroster and this poses a serious safety issue to myself, any passengers i may have and as well to other…

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. After i hit 100k miles my airbag light continuously chimes. There seems to be a great deal of jeep users with the same issue. This seems to be an issue with the clock spring sensor. What happens if i don't replace or seek repair for this? Is there something that gm can do to recall the part? I am out of warranty but this seems to be an issue with more than just my vehicle.…

On jan. 10, 2007, i was in a head-on collision and my air bags did not deploy. The whole front end of my jeep was smashed and i have to get a whole new front clip for it. Also, the brakes went all the way to the floor and didn't seem to work properly. I am very upset about these issues and would like to know why the air bags would not deploy in this type of collision. *nm

My car has major problems and i can't afford to fix, then i find the problem that i have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems i am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when i got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall…
