Takata recall....my dash board "air bag" warning red light has been on for over a year and noone knows why! Is it because my air bags are takata? I have not been in an accident and they have never popped out! How does one know their status on this 1999 jeep?

Many times it is almost impossible to unlatch either the passenger or driver seat belt without much tugging and pulling. In an emergency situation, this could be catastrophic. My dealer has no recommendation. When I turn my steering wheel, usually to the right, the air bag notification signal will come on, indicating the air bag is not inflated properly. This seems to me to be a safety issue, but the dealer says there is no recall and has quoted me about $1000 to repair this situation. I am the original owner, and the car has never been in an accident where the air bag was deployed. I have checked online and many others have this same problem with their 1999 jeep grand cherokees.
