2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee: airbag warning light

Filed Aug 11, 2025 · Airbags · AL

I have been unable to get recall r06 completed. All the jeep dealers said that they are unable to get the needed parts. They are on a national recall list. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed asap. They state that the orc module and other items needed to complete the recall cannot be obtained anywhere and the dealer's said that they have been waiting months for the back ordered parts so the recall can be completed. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be completed on these jeeps. My air bag light is on and the parts needed is on the recall list r06 to fix it. Please address this safety issue asap before someone gets critical injuries. Thanks for your time.

I brought in my car in to Roger Williams Chrysler in Weatherford TX, 1102 Washington Dr, Weatherford, TX 76086, for Safety Recall R06. The first appointment I dropped off the vehicle and received a rental, which was covered by FCA under the recall. A couple of days pass as they order parts and perform the maintenance. I return to my vehicle once they stated the Safety Recall was completed. The airbag light was still on, they couldn't tell me what DTC was associated with the light so I checked it myself. The DTC's were airbag DTC 54 and 55 (Side impact sensor internal fault). Safety Recall R06 instructs the dealership to replace impact sensors should they have any DTC's on them. R06 also states, at least twice, NOT to replace the front impact sensors, which they boasted and were proud about replacing. They stated "the tech has done hundreds of these recalls and always replaces the front sensors". I explained why I felt the recall maintenance was not completed to the tech when I picked up my vehicle. He maintained his narrative that the recall was satisfied and if I wanted them to look into it further it would be a minimum of $300.00. As weeks go by while I work with FCA customer care and the dealership service manager I am forced to drive a vehicle with faulty airbags. After several weeks and numerous phone calls and arguing I convinced the dealership to take another look at the vehicle. Upon their second look they initially maintained that the recall was satisfied and that the front sensors were replaced. I pleaded with the service manager once more to check the DTC's and review the federal safety agency/FCA Safety Recall R06 instructions to replace the side impact sensors. They finally do, now the vehicles airbags are functioning and all is well. I just wonder, how many hundreds of WJ's are out there that had this maintenance done incorrectly and either don't know or didn't push hard enough to have it done correctly. How was this even able to get to this point?

We were driving into our parking stall at home when our airbags deployed. As we reversed and drove forward to straighten our car in our stall we noticed the airbag light turn on suddenly and airbags automatically deployed. Our entire family was in the car and kids are traumatized. Super scary moment, and what if we were driving on the highway!

Air bag warning light stays on intermittently upon startup, usually will go out if shut off and restart, but not always. Has been recalled twice already for airbag issue so am fairly confident this is the same problem still. Only 89000 miles on the vehicle and is 100% garage kept. .
