THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, IT WILL STAY ON FOR MILES, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF, OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL COME ON OR GO OFF, BUT I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG ITSELF WILL DEPLOY WITH ME GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAGS
WE HAVE JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES. WE TOOK IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TELL US THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE ORC, AND THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT UNTIL THEY DO THE RECALL, BUT THAT THERE ARE NOT PARTS AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE DRIVING WITHOUT KNOWING IF THAT AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY IT IN THE WRONG TIME OR IS GOING TO DEPLOY AT ALL IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IS THERE ANY ADVICE OF HOW TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED?

STEERING, SEAT BELTS
WHILE DRIVING AN EXTREMELY SHORT DISTANCE FROM MY HOME DRIVEWAY (MAYBE 50 FEET), MY "DRIVER SIDE" SEATBELT PRETENSIONER AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR AIRBAG/SEATBELT PRETENSIONER ON MY VEHICLE (M35 (12V-527) OR N13 (13V-040) R06). WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO SUNCOAST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, THEY TO TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS FOR ONLY THE "PASSENGER SIDE" AND "DRIVER SIDE" WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON WHY THE "DRIVER SIDE" AIRBAG AND SEATBELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYED. THEY SAID THE COST TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG AND SEATBELT PRETENSIONER WOULD BE JUST UNDER $1500.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. STAYS ON FOR SEVERAL MILES, THEN TURNS OFF. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERYDAY. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED AND CHRYSLER PAID TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD?? ALSO, SEAT BELT RELEASE BUTTON STOPPED RELEASING. IT STAYED SUPPRESSED IN THE RELEASE POSITION NOT ALLOWING THE BELT TO LOCK IN. AFTER TAPPING IT HARD, IT RELEASED. THEN IT FROZE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE BELT. NOW IT WORKS, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S REALLY LOCKED AND WILL RELEASE IN AN ACCIDENT.

SEATS
I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY ADAM SAMUALS CHRYSLER IN ARANSAS PASS, TEXAS, THAT THE PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE?????? SO, I "DID" HAVE THE "REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT" DONE ALREADY. AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS UNAVAILABLE ON THE 2003 JEEP I HAVE. ABSURD! I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY DRIVER SEAT ASSEMBLY. I CANNOT MAKE THE BACK OF MY SEAT GO UP OR DOWN, WHICH, DEPENDING ON WHO DRIVES THE JEEP, IS NOW A PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT ASSEMBLY, WITH LABOR, IS ABOUT $500.00! ABSURD! CAN YOU HELP ME? I HAVE TAKEN SUCH EXCELLENT CARE OF MY JEEP SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 2005, USED, AT DON JOHNSON MOTORS IN BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. I HAVE REPLACE MOST SMALL PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND HAVE MY OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3,000 MILES. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEWER VEHICLE AT THIS, OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR THAT MATTER EITHER. I MUST KEEP WHAT I HAVE IN EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE ARE 12 ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE. I WANT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SOME RECALLS ARE "INCOMPLETE" AND CANNOT BE REMEDIED RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH JEEP DEALERSHIPS - THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY WERE UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EITHER NOT DOING THE WORK THEY SAID THEY DID OR BREAKING SOMETHING ON MY JEEP AND CHARGING ME FOR IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY VEHICLE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT EITHER HAS NO RECALLS OR ONE THAT HAS PASSED COMPLIANCE. NO ACCIDENT YET. DO I REALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT? 12 RECALLS? *TR
