Airbag light has been coming on and stays on. When I start my vehicle the airbag in the dash on passenger side sounds like it’s trying to escape. Scary. I have a service appointment for April 2, 2026, Thursday. They can’t get me in sooner. I understand the recall doesn’t apply. I’m stating that it SHOULD! Please expand your recall to more Jeep models. I want this on record as I am deeply concerned about my safety.

Air bag warning light on dash,took to larry miller avondale to have it diagnosed as to what is cause,was told drivers airbag needs replaced,have called and tried to submit a claim with chrysler customer service 800‑992‑1997. I have a reference #,was told I'd have to pay $1300. Out of pocket cause theres not a recall pending on my vehicle..but it's an airbag issue..had to wait 2 weeks to get into dealership with a appointment..

Turned vehicle on and wipers were going and switch was turned to off, enterior lights flash on and off, no turn signals, says back gate is open and it's not, doors lock on their own, air bag light says off, burning smell, alarm goes off at random
Airbag light randomly comes on while driving down the road.
I've had my jeep for 2.5 years now. When I first got it, everything was fine and it was inspected prior to purchase. For the past year, the airbag light will come on and off on its own. At first it was intermittent, but for the past 6 months, it is constantly on when the vehicle is running. In addition, about 6 months ago, while driving about 25 MPH on a dark, winding road, the horn started sounding and the windshield wipers began running at full speed. I put the car in park, turned it off and then on again, and it stopped. This has not happened again since.
Airbag light randomly comes on while driving and the dealer quoted me $400 to repair. I have a 3 and 5 year old. I am concerned that if the air bags deploy while driving with my kids in the car, our lives would be in danger. This cost is also not money that I have just sitting around in a bank account.
Airbag warning light stayed illuminated. This is the same incident reported in the 2012 jeep liberty which is being investigated. Dealer said it "might " be harness but based on latest report read on the internet it appears to be the same. Remedy the issue by having the controller replaced. I have not done this yet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. While the vehicle was stationary, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,403.
Airbag light keeps flashing while driving. Jeep shakes as if unstable or struts the suspension and my visibility due to the defroster and wipers don't work properly.
