The air bag warning light comes on and off at random times while driving, it started about three weeks ago. This just happens at random its on for 50 seconds then goes off and then back on again and then off and sometimes it does this for awhile and some times just a few times and then doesn't do it again for a couple of days. This happens at any speed the car is going. It's just totally random.

The contact sustained a mild concussion and three fractured ribs. The passenger sustained whip lash, a bruised neck and bruised spinal cord. The vehicle was destroyed. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 146,000.
Upon starting the jeep, the air bag light went off then came back on and stayed on until the jeep was turned off. This was a short 10 minute trip - maybe 5 miles. This happened again the next day (today). I made one other trip in between where this did not happen. This has never happened before. Occasionally the overhead lights will flash on/off as well. I had the battery harness replaced within the last year. Not sure if that is related or not.

Air bag light continues to illuminate on and off. Air bags have not deployed, but continues to come and stay on for several days at a time. Updated0 06/26/12
My airbag light intermittently comes on and off and after reading some stuff online they have been deployed even when there's been no accident so I'm very concerned about this matter also my overheads lights periodically have been coming on and off for years.
The air bag light on the vehicle began to illuminate intermittently. Checked internet for possible causes, and saw the federal safety agency investigation is underway due to random air bag deployments on 2002-2003 jeep liberty due to possible defective electronic component. Intermittent air bag light is associated with random air bag deployment in some cases. Intermittent air bag light appears to be associated with heat, as light has illuminated only after warm up on warm (above 70) days, and does not illuminate if it is cool (60 or below) or if it rains. Contacted chrysler corporate, they suggested I contact dealership. Dealerships wants $100 just to attempt diagnosis of issue, and neither jeep corporate nor two different dealerships take responsibility for product. One dealership very vocal about being concerned with getting paid diagnosis fee, either by me or by chrysler corporate if recall initiated. Vehicle has been very trouble-prone, with several recalls to date, along with thousands of dollars of owner paid-for repairs in addition to recalls, with both repairs and recalls well above average. I would be willing to have vehicle inspected/investigated by the federal safety agency.
Had just come to a stop at a stop sign and the driver and passenger front air bags deployed. Driver received extensive bruises and cuts on stomach both hands and arms as well as burns on face and arms. Added 1 injury.pco.
Within the last month upon starting my jeep & sometimes while driving it, the airbag light comes on. The airbag has not deployed, but the light comes on periodically. There has been an investigation into the airbags on jeep liberties, but no recall as of yet, so my only option is to pay to have it diagnosed & repaired. If the bag deploys it surely would cause injury or even wrecks if it's unexpected!
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 jeep liberty sport. The contact stated that a vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle while the contact was sitting at a traffic stop. The front driver's side air bag failed to deploy. The contact sustained injures to the hip, face and neck. The manufacturer took a complaint on behalf of the contact. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
While driving on the highway my air bag exploded and my seat belt locked up. I was able to avoid an accident and get out of the heavy traffic, but I experienced burns and contusions on my arms and chest when the bag deployed. Being 3 months pregnant I'm thankful my injuries were not worse. I went to the hospital for piece of mind but now I'm stressed about the pending bills and fear driving my car. Added VIN.pco.
The airbag light on the console is on and I am unable to clear the code. Please note that I haven't hit anything while driving to cause the light error to be activated. I am reporting this due to the prior reports of air bags being triggered and exploding in 2002 jeep liberty without provocation. I am advocating an air bag product recall for the 2002 jeep liberty.
The air bag warning light in our 2002 jeep liberty comes on intermittently for no apparent reason. We have experienced recurring incidents of this problem since early 2011. We have been unable to correlate any particular conditions or situations that may trigger these air bag warning light events. We have had an auto maintenance facility look for any diagnostic alarms or alerts via diagnostic computer evaluation and their feedback was that there is no apparent or obvious reason for the air bag light to turn on. Our concern with this situation is that it may be an indication of a potential airbag defect such as the one currently under investigation by the federal safety agency related to random deployment of the airbags in 2002 jeep liberty vehicles. We are the original owners of this vehicle. Thank you.

Air bag light is coming on randomly. No pattern of any kind.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving 2 MPH over a speed bump, the driver's side air bag deployed without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and decided to send an engineer to inspect the vehicle. The engineer concluded that the failure was not a manufacturer's defect. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 100,698.
Both driver and passenger air bags deployed while at a stop light. The air bag caution light had been on for several weeks, but the dealer said it was only a fault of the monitor and was nothing to worry about. Once the air bags deployed, jeep refused to pay for the repair or reimburse for repairs, saying that this had not ever happened before, therefore, the driver must have hit something.
