Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving, the ABS and air bag indicators illuminated. In addition, the electrical brake system indicator illuminated. The brakes started pulsating, but the contact continued driving with no further issues. The contact had not driven the vehicle since and parked the vehicle at her home. Three weeks ago, the contact was involved in a crash because the brakes seized. As a result, the contact's vehicle slid into another vehicle at approximately 5 MPH. The front bumper of the contact's vehicle was cracked. The driver was not injured, but was treated by a doctor after the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not towed. The contact felt that the crash could have been avoided if the braking failure were known of beforehand. There were no symptoms of a braking failure before the crash occurred. The manufacturer rudely informed the contact that there were no recalls or warranties on the vehicle. The dealer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 142,000.
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!

Airbag light refuses to go off. I've been told the airbag is disabled.
Air bag light is constantly flashing and rendering cruise control useless. Everything work as necessary, then one day when attempting to get on highway, I pressed cruise control only for it to flash in the dash panel, then disappear. Once off the highway to my destination, I turned the grand cherokee off. When I got back in the vehicle, the airbag light stayed on for at least 15 minutes then shut off. During the time of the air bag light on, I was able to press the cruise control and have it stay on the dash panel, but I still had no use of it. Once the air bag light shut off, I then pressed cruise control again just for it to flash on then back off. Now the passenger airbag light is flashing or stays illuminated when the vehicle is being used. My jeep just passed 125,000 miles. This shouldn't happen to sucha low mileage vehicle for the age.. Who will fix this mess?
Passenger air bag warning light remains on.
Takata recall defective/faulty air bags. Air bag light randomly goes on and off, activating or turning off the airbags
Airbag light has come on and the jeep dealership wants to charge me a fee for them to look at it and then fix the issue. I have read on multiple sites that this is a reoccurring issue with my specific model and year. Jeep wants to charge its customers a fee to properly maintain a safety function the vehicle that would save their lives in the case of an accident.
My airbag light has come on and it, has me scare of what might happen and my truck drives like it has a transmission problem. It takes a while changing gear my steering wheel make a loud clicking sound as I turn.. While driving turning. There are so many problems with this truck from day one..
