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. .

On february 22, 2018 we brought our 2002 jeep cherokee in to merrick chrysler on sunrise highway in wantagh because my wife was advised of a security concern over the airbag unexpectedly deploying (which has already happened to her in an unrelated incident). After scheduling and waiting a couple of months we brought the car in and after 3 hours I was told they didn't have the parts and to call back. My wife refused to even sit in the car until it was fixed. I called the dealer and they refused to even give me a time frame on receipt of the parts or repair of the recall. Within a few weeks thereafter I was at my wits end went to the dealership and purchased a newer jeep cherokee the was guaranteed not to have any problems but to this day I haven't received even a call regarding the repair which has now cost my family an additional $26,000.00, but it sure wasn't the way we wanted to get a new car. We have a gorgeous new jeep that she drives and I also purchased another car because I do not want to get hit in the head by a faulty air bag. Please help us with our recall. Seriously, enough is enough already. We have a gorgeous jeep in our driveway, registered and insured and undriveable, unless you can guarantee that if the airbag deploys we will have our own dealership if we live through the accident!! Even more concerning is the disdain and importance with which we are treated. Buy a new car they drool at your feet but god so help the poor old schmuck who shows up with some old clunker that they won't make a dime off of. Please help us. Its just not fair.
When is this going to be forced on chrysler fiat, I had a recall post card about this problem and that's 3 years ago !!!! They say they are working on getting the parts and as soon as it's available we will get another notice to fix, let me just say this is bs , chrysler is basically buying their time so that the remaining vehicle for this recall to be junked or out live their years. The ntsb should be ashamed in not getting chrysler to fix this !! For god sakes it's been 3 years and still nothing, you guys are worthless and don't enforce your own recalls !

I brought the subject vehicle in for recall items. I dealt with mr. Ralph alfano of arroway. I immediately advised that I was profoundly deaf, and I may not fully understand all conversation. I was processed to have the recall work done and brought the vehicle in on november 9, 2017. During the day I spoke to the service department on my cell phone. They advised an additional part had to be installed. I could not understand fully what they were telling me, but the work was done. It turned out that they felt that they had to replace the impact sensor on the airbag, and for this they charged me $315.83. As this is related to the defective module of the recalled airbag, this should be part of the recall (and not charged to the owners of the vehicles). I ask you to intercede in this and take action to protect the consumers from being charged for this additional work. Is this not part of the recall? Your public notice does not fully describe the repair and parts that are included (the federal safety agency recall number 15v‑046). Please follow up and advise.

On april 14, both of my front airbags deployed without reason while the car was idling stationary in drive with my foot on the brake. I was in the drivers seat and my two young boys were in the backseat. Fortunately, nobody was significantly injured. I suffered a bruised knuckle, and something flew in the back seat and hit my son in the head, but no injuries were significant enough to warrant a doctors visit. The damage to the interior of my car is significant. The steering wheel and dashboard will need to be replaced, the clock on my radio has stopped working, and my change drawer is broken. I called the recall hotline almost immediately after the event and they took my claim. My case number is 314 529 09. They instructed me that they would send out an inspector to come out and look over my vehicle. They also told me not to drive my vehicle in the meantime. I have a job and a family and I need a vehicle. It has been a week, and no inspector has called me. I have called the recall hotline 4 times since the initial event, and each time they put a note in my case number and promised an inspector would call. I need to know what to do next. I need to get a replacement vehicle or have my vehicle repaired. My insurance company will not cover this repair as I have liability coverage only. My VIN number is [xxx]. I am aware there are 2 recalls open on my car. The important one being recall r06 for the airbag system occupant restraint control module. This recall was addressed a few years ago but I was told that the part required to remedy the condition was not available, and that I will be contacted with a follow-up recall notice when the remedy parts are made available. I had never received this follow up recall notice. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
