While traveling air bag indicator light would flash on intermittently without indication. Dealer can't duplicate the problem . Please provide further information.
Consumer was driving at 35 MPH and t-boned another vehiclein which rear end/ driver side air bag and passenger's side air bags didn't deploy.
Due to air bag light keep coming on, consumer can't read any of the components on the dashboard.
Since 1/99, we have encountered numerous times...the airbag light comes on, the spedometer/tachometer read "o"...sometimes includes all gauges (gas, oil pressure, etc). Also, had window motor and radio front replaced...related????
Air bag illuminates while driving for 15-25 seconds, vehicle is going on the fourth time for service, defroster noise made when control know adjusted, found to be definately not working during a freezing rain storm, having to stop a few times on my way to work to scrap the windows. This has been an ongoing defect with this new vehicle since first happening in nov.1998, each time the vehicle goes in for service and getting it back the light will come back on from two weeks - one month of having back. Absolutely getting no help, concerns, answers, return phone calls, I could go on forever, most importantly about the air bag saftey concern. No one seems real concerned that death could possible occur when operating this vehicle. I have got the run around from the beginning concerning the air bag and my persistance is my only hope. I have made phone call after phone call to dealerships, chrysler customer service center, the federal safety agency, attorney general's office, and safety departs. I am currently waiting for the vehicle to go back to the dealer at least five days after notification.
Consumer's husband lost control of the jeep that rounded over into a tree, the seats belt did not hold him in, nor did side air bags deploy.
Our driver hit the other vehicle head-on but air bags did not deploy.
No deployment of driver's air bag during a collision. 831045 dup of 832151; posted on 09-07-1999.
When driving the cruise control kicked on, and it came on/off. Whenever it wanted to. Also, the air bag sensor light came on, and the light came on and off whenever it wanted. In addition, speedodmeter didn't work, and the consumer had the vehicle in the shop four times for the air bag sensor light. The vehicle is still in the shop and the dealer can't determine the problem. *ak the dash board goes dead while driving because connectors were not seating properly. Fuse panel falls off and will not stay on at all because right kick panel is deformed.
Driving at approximately 45 MPH consumer slammed on brakes, ran into a deer and tree head-on, dual airbags did not deploy, which could have resulted in injuries.
