What owners say
The airbag light started coming on in my 1998 jeep grand cherokee so I took it to the dealership where I purchased the jeep.they told me that the airbag module has gone bad . How can that be when I never had to use it? To get that fix it cost $500. I began looking up on the internet to see the cost of it.I looked at autozone website to see how much the part cost upon that I came across a recall for my jeep. It's for the air bag light on/accidental deployment. I called daimlerchrysler as stated on the recall .they have given me the run around about the recall. I hope someone in your department look into this as soon as possible because this is not very safe. I know im not the only person to complain about the airbag light in this type of jeep.
