It started out with my key fob not unlocking my car. So I decided to unlock my car manually, doing so set off the alarm and had the lights blinking and horn going off. So I then decided to order a new fob with a new battery (even though mine was new). That didn't work, so I decided to call someone to come program my fob, thinking that was the issue. So they did. It worked for about 2 weeks. Then the fob didn't unlock my car, brand new fob, brand new battery. Back to square 1, unlocking it manually dealing with the horn issue. Then, 1 day got in my car, started it and pulled in the windshield wipers, the horn went off and would not stop even after shutting off the car. It continued to be an issue and the problem couldn't be resolved. So we pulled the fuse to my horn. Now I'm driving with no horn, a hazard. Issues continued, my car now not only will the alarm still go off with flashing lights now it's not starting, it's even acted up while driving with the engine having weird spasms and accelerating. Worried because I don't know what to expect with this vehicle. I have a brand new battery and even got it tested by mechanics and they said the battery was fine. My car has huge electrical issues and the airbags apparently don't work either. But I've pulled out fuses and it sometimes reboots the car and will start normal and work for maybe a few days before acting up again. Sometimes it won't even start and make a clicking sound as if it's the battery but then after many tries or sometimes a few it'll start. This has been going on for a bit now and has just gotten worse and more worrisome

Well my airbag light is on and will not go off! I took it to the mechanic and they reassured me the airbags are there and haven't been deployed at all. But my concern is that the light is on for a reason either the seatbelts or the airbags are faulty. No matter if I'm parked or if I'm in motion the airbag light is always on and I want to be safe and secure that if I'm in an accident I won't be killed because my airbags didn't deploy as they should! I know my jeep is old but it's in good condition I'm not sure what else to do about this problem because I searched by my VIN and it hasn't had a recall about that problem so please get back to me as soon as possible

Ever since I bought my 2005 jeep grand cherokee the passenger air bag light has constantly been on. I thought when someone sits there it's supposed to go off! I have read multiple stories of people having the same problem with this vehicle. Some have even been people that have been in accidents and seat belts or air bags didn't work. This is a huge safety issue that jeep needs to fix asap!

The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. It feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. It is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. It is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. Jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. Like yesterday.
