I was going down main road in Vineland nj making a left hand turn on to Elmer road when I was stuck in the front of my jeep and I hit the steering wheel the airbags never deployed

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 issue as well. This could be fatal given the right circumstances.

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 than for a few seconds. Found numerous other similar complaints have been filed on this site when looking for any recall information.

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 recall on it? Why is the 2000 year being skipped over for this jeep and the recalls of it?
