Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag warning light is staying on all the time. I'm concerned the airbags will go off unnecessarily or will not work when they are needed to. This warning light has been on for a long time. I'm just not sure of the date I first noticed it.
Airbag warning light and chime goes off constantly.
Air bag light on (don't know if it will work if needed), horn won't work, cruise control wont work = clockspring. Safety issue. No horn no airbag.
Air bag light started to come on and off intermittently. On the second day it came on and stayed on. On the second day I also noticed no horn and no cruise control. All indications are that it is the clock spring. Emailed chrysler to see if it was a recall or safety covered item. They stated no that the entire cost to replace it will be mine $300 plus dollars. From my understanding chrysler is having problems with a lot of clock springs. I feel they should cover this item as it is not an item that should fail that easily.
2000 jeep cherokee sport airbag warning light illuminates randomly and repeatedly. Not related to actual airbag deployment. It may render airbag unusable. Dangerous condition. Common consumer complaint. All passenger window actuator switches are unusable. Windows will only work at driver panel. Safety issue if passengers have to open windows.very common consumer complaint. Obd error codes are inaccurate (especially when applying to emission control systems p0441, p0442). Diagnosis often lead to unneeded repairs and costly replacement of sensors and computer without cause. Common consumer complaint. Driver seat support structure breaks. Even when driven only in ordinary driving conditions and not stressed unusually. Must be rewelded or replaced. Seat is no longer structurally safe. Common consumer complaint all of these are design issues and not service/maintenance related.
I have a 2000 jeep cherokee, that whenever it hits a bump on the road, the gauges start to die. First the airbag light , then the engine light come on. After that the odometer dies, so I have no idea how fast I am going. Sometimes all the gauges fail. When I hit another bump on the road everything goes back to normal. I tried to have this fixed, but unfortunately this is a common problem for jeep and chrysler, my mechanic looked there is nothing wrong with the dash. It is somewhere in the cables, usually it takes chrysler a couple of days(he told me from his experience, from his other customers) and they can't guarantee that they even find the faulty wire. And even after they "find the problem" most likely it will come back.
Cruise control,horn not working,airbag light on. Defective clockspring???
The horn and cruise control did not work. But the air bag light was on. The defects were reported to the manufacturer, and they stated there were no other complaints on this vehicle.
Airbag light stays on and horn doesn't work.
I have a 2000 jeep cherokee sport and the airbag light stays on now. I took it to the dealer and they say I need to pay for a 300.00 clock spring part to fix it. I checked the computer and seen numerous problems with the jeep airbags not working. Has there been a recall on them? And if not if there's been so many cases of problems with them not working correctly is there anything being done to protect the consumer? Thank you
