Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag indicator light repeatedly turns on and off during vehicle operation. When the speed control was activated, while driving on the interstate, the vehicle continually accelerated almost causing loss of control.
Since I brought the car in 2008 at times the interior dash light and head lights flicker also the air bag light all the sudden stays on. I have intermediate no start at this time so I can't really use the car. I believe this might be an electronic issue.
My air bag light indicator activated, and at the same time my horn stopped working! After having it checked out by a repair shop, it was determined that a faulty clock spring assembly is the cause of the problem. This assembly has been responsible for the malfunction of air bags in other 2006 jeep liberty's; however, recalls of this problem apply to other VIN numbers (beginning with the letter k). I have been told by a jeep dealership that the cost of repairs will exceed $400.00, and that my vehicle is currently not on the recall list. How is it possible that clock spring assembly's are that much different amongst the different VIN numbers? I am highly suspicious, and in the meantime I have been told that in addition to having no horn that my air bags would not employ in the event there was an accident. Does someone have to be killed in a vehicle for another VIN number to be checked out on the current listing?

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. He stated that he experienced unwanted ABS activation, when the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel. With the increased stopping distances the risk of a crash could occur if the ABS activated without warning. An authorized technician rewired the ABS since the air bag sensors failed. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified, and he is waiting for a response. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 30,000.
