I have owned this vehicle since 2011 and began having issues with passenger airbag light coming on intermittently or sometimes staying on during trip whether a passenger was in the seat or not. Had to install a new motor in 2025 due to antifreeze overflowing into engine components apparently after overheating even though gauge on dash never indicated issue. Squeeking sound when putting vehicle into reverse, cert mechanic installed front pads and rotors and rear brake pads and left rear brake caliper for a total cost of $620. Traveled to kc (appx 100 miles) one day later and vehicle began losing acceleration, stuttered and seeemed to surge intermitently then rear brake began locking up and smoking excessively before illuminating a check engine light. Draggin/locking rear brake broke loose on drive back home but still had check engine light. Took back to mechanic who diagnosed rapid misfire on cylinder no. 1 but was not able to trace cause. Recommended taking to dealership for diagnostic at a cost of $150 per hour. All 3 issues I am reporting are apparently pervasive with this vehicle as I have read numerous documented complaints from customers having the same or similar issues. However, the federal safety agency website indicates that there are no recalls associated with my vehicle. This is unacceptable!!

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The airbag light came on and the computer indicated it's the clock spring. I know that this is a safety issue as I've had the same issue with a previous car in which it was recalled.
Airbag light is on. Right front passenger door won’t lock or unlock automatically. Left front aux light inop. Not bulb related. Right front aux light goes off when right turn signal is activated.
Airbag light on airbag making noise doors and windows unlock on its own steering wheel
My airbag light came on a few weeks ago and hasn't stopped going on and off it makes that annoying sound the whole trip every time I drive, the heat won't cut on it blows cold air I've had it looked at and repaired allegedly but it still won't blow hot air, the car keeps stalling and it has completely shut off on me 3 times while I have been driving once on a busy freeway I was luckily by grace of god able to turn the wheel off to the side of the road before it locked I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm currently pregnant this is insane and nobody can tell me what's wrong with it or how to fix any of these problems I got a loan for this car so now I'm stuck with this death trap, and now I'm seeing all these complaints about the same thing I'm baffled by the neglect and lack of concern or care for customers and there families who ride in their vehicles safety, I would think it would be a no brainer to recall the whole car if you can't fix the safety concerns or don't have a solution, I need a car to drive I'm wasting so much money on rentals because I have no options with this jeep I need a solution this is crazy I rely on my vehicle for work as I do uber eats and grub hub I need help!!
The tipm in my jeep is messing up and causing engine stalling, radio failure, etc. I have a blue driver that constantly gives me codes related to this part defect. I've also got an airbag light coming on all the time and yet my VIN shows no recalls for this part. If I get into an accident my airbag might possible fail. My engine has almost stalled 3-4 times since I've owned it either from a stop light accelerating or crossing at an intersection this is very dangerous.
Passenger airbag light stays on on the dash
Airbag light comes on when I stop or turn my blinker on. Pops up and then turns off
Airbag light goes on intermittently on and off continually. It came on all of a sudden and has been doing this for quite some time now. I do not know how to get it to stop without going into the dealership and pay a $100 service fee to find out if there is a problem with the airbag or not. It continues as soon as the vehicle is turned on and while driving down the road. Every day all day until I return and park. I have tried to reset it by disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for an hour and reconnecting it but it will come right back on when we reconnect it and begin to drive again.
Airbag light continues to flash off and on intermittently. Will they deploy at the wrong time or not at all? There are many complaints on this issue. Please look into it.
The airbag light on the dash comes on intermittently, attempts to find a loose electrical connection has failoed
The check service engine light comes on because of the gas cap even if the gas cap has been replaced with a manufacture gas cap. The air bag light comes on and off for no reason.
