2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee: airbags did not deploy in a crash

Filed Jul 28, 2020 · Airbags · NC

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
