1999 Jeep Laredo: airbag warning light

Filed Sep 2, 2015 · Airbags · 148,000 miles · NC

For a couple of years now my air bag warning light comes on and an intermittent warning chime (1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo). I have not had it repaired because I can't afford the expense. I don't know if the airbag will deploy when it shouldn't or if it will not deploy when it should. I have seen the same complaint on this safety website and think it should be addressed by jeep.

The air bag light constantly comes on and chimes on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo. It is mostly when I make a left turn. This is a very costly repair. The manufacturer should make a re-call of all these jeeps. What are you waiting for "a terrible accident" I found out that all jeeps made in 1999 have this defect, and nothing has been done about it. Concern jeep owner.

I own a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. The air bag light stays on all the time and the chime for it goes off very often. I have taken it to a dealer and they said that it may be the clock spring. I was later told that many of the models in this year have the same problem. Why are we paying out of pocket for something that is obviously a faulty part on the factory's part?

Erratic, intermittent instrumentation failures over the past three years starting with the airbag light going on and off, a malfunctioning odometer and culminating in the recent failure of the speedometer. I suspect this is caused by a defective electrical connector as noted in company service bulletin #081599. I have not been able to obtain this info from either chrysler or the jeep dealership. Clearly this is a defective part and should be recalled by chrysler as it is a safety hazard. Please refer to the federal safety agency complaints # 10025741, 896900, 723322, 10026823... In addition, my front passenger window crashed inside the door while driving. This was due to the plastic clip breaking in the window regulator that has since been redesigned. I have already had to replace the driver side window at the cost of several hundred dollars about a year ago for the exact same problem. Clearly this is a defective part and is not due to "normal wear and tear" and should be recalled by chrysler as it is a safety hazard. In addition, my interior rear view mirror fell off my windshield into my lap while driving on the expressway in 2000. Was told the glue lost adhesion due to exposure to direct sunlight. It was fixed by dealer after I purchased a "mirror repair kit". Clearly this is bad design and an enormous safety hazard. I am presently driving my jeep in a downtown metro area with three windows and a non- working speedometer until I can afford to get problems repaired.

Air bag warning light started coming on intermittently indicating malfunction in airbag deployment system. Took to dealer who determined there was a defective "clock spring" in the steering column causing the airbag malfunction. (note that this has nothing to do with any "clock" but was told this is the electrical connection between the drivers airbag and the steering column wiring harness). The part was replaced for $350 by dealer but was not covered under the extended warranty from jeep that we had purchased. Called jeep extended warranty number and was told tough luck, part not covered.
