Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the engine was started and the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously until the engine was turned off. In addition, the horn would not function when activated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The technician advised that the air bag clock spring was faulty. There was a recall associated with the 2002 and 2003 model years under the federal safety agency campaign id number 12v527000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module) but not the 2005 model. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The air bag light turned on so I took it in to mack massey jeep dealership on 950 crockett st.in el paso, tx. The person advising me from the mechanics department told me I was very lucky to take it in when I did because some part having to do with the air bags had melted & my airbags could have opened up at any time. He said he deactivated all the airbags in my vehicle. The total to have them fixed was way more than I can afford. It also affected the center seat belt so I don't have a seat belt as well. I don't think any part of the original parts should be melting with nothing more than the sun heat.

Was in an accident traveling approx 30mph hit another car (t-bone) traveling approx 50mph with major intrusion to opposing car with significant front end damage to my car there was no airbag deployment. This was reported to collision center through dealer possibly sending car to get tested for faulty airbags.
Me and my room mate were driving back from my job when a lady in a car passed a red light. We hit the lady head on at 45 MPH and neither one of the driver or the passenger airbag's deployed. The vehicle was a jeep grand cherokee.
My daughter's 2005 jeep grand cherokee was rear ended by another car going 90mph. She was sent airborne, flipped end over end & rolled on the side before coming to rest upright. The front of her jeep was gone but the air bags did not deploy, we were told by the wrecker service that they could not believe the air bag did not deploy. She hit her head on the drivers side window and steering wheel during the roll. Here ear also hit the wheel and was cut by the glass from the windshields/windows. We have contacted chrysler but were told that the bags would not have deployed under these conditions. When the car nose dived into the embankment after being airborne and flipped over, I would think that would have deployed the airbags.
Like many I have read my airbag warning light has been coming on intermittently. I've read this is likely a clock spring failure. The light has been coming on for about 2 weeks with a "ding" noise and the dashboard light. This happens while driving. It happens frequently (every couple of minutes). Researched on internet to see what the cause may be and noticed that many others are reporting the exact same issue with the 1999 to 2005 jeep grand cherokee's. They have been told it was a clock spring failure and made to pay $310+ to have it fixed.
When it goes below 20 degrees f, the passenger seat senses someone sitting in it when there is no one there. The airbag light lights on the passenger side and the red airbag light lights. If I push down and release the seat cushion, the passenger airbag light goes off, then the red airbag warning light goes off. In 30 seconds, it all comes back on and starts dinging the alarm again. This has been happening for quite some time but my jeep/dodge dealer does not seem to want to help.
I was driving on a snowy road when my SUV started to fish tail and lost control and hit a light pole doing about 25-30 on the front right side of my SUV and my airbags didn't deploy.
As I drive my 2005 jeep grand cherokee( hemi)the vehicle simply shuts off. All the lights on the dashboard turn on then the car turns off. I end up with no control. Sometimes this happens and then the vehicle turns on all by itself while im driving. About a week after I purchased it, I had this problem but the dealer said it was fine. As I took it to the gas station across the street, it happened. The dealership employees witnessed it and were nice enough to run over and pushed the vehicle back to the shop. They said they couldn't find anything but replaced the battery just in case. Since then it happens at once every two months. Currently, I have an airbag issue. The dealer cannot seem to repair any of these issues. The airbag lights turn on indicated the airbags are off because it does not sense anyone on the seats. It has been to the dealership 3 times for this issue and I am waiting for a call back to return it so they can install an ECM. They think it may be the issue. This will be the fourth visit for the airbags. Seems the vehicle has a lot of electrical problems. I have not driven the vehicle since december 22nd. It is now feb 25. I am afraid of going over the warranty miles.
