2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I was going down main road in Vineland nj making a left hand turn on to Elmer road when I was stuck in the front of my jeep and I hit the steering wheel the airbags never deployed

WHEN EXITING THE EXPRESS WAY YESTERDAY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND DINGED ABOUT 3 TIMES AND TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS DONE THIS IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I'D LIKE TO NOTE MY PREVIOUS CAR, A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE EVERYDAY. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY AIRBAGS TO BE DISABLING WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS HAVING A STALLING ISSUE AS WELL. THIS COULD BE FATAL GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES.

ONE WEEK AGO WITHOUT WARNING AT 35 MPH GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD CAR WARNING CHIME STARTED AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF. NOW IT CONSTANTLY BLINKS ON AT RANDOM TIMES, NO APPARENT REASON, I.E., STOPPED, DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS STRAIGHT AHEAD, LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS, UP OR DOWN HILLS, STARTING OFF OR PARKED. NOW BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, SOMETIMES FOR A MINUTE OR SO IT REMAINS ON, SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN FOR A FEW SECONDS. FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED ON THIS SITE WHEN LOOKING FOR ANY RECALL INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED TWO CRACKED RIBS AND INJURIES TO THE HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 04/08/16*LJ

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND CHIMES SPORADICALLY. I WAS TOLD BY JEEP MECHANIC, THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT $370.00. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY WITH CHIMING. WILL NOT STOP. *TR

I DON'T REMEMBER TOO MUCH BUT I JUST REMEMBER SWERVING TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE (HIT IT ANYWAY) AND ENDED UP HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON (GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION). HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT MINE DIDN'T. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH ON A ROCKY ROAD SURFACE, A CHIME SOUNDED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN LIT UP ON THE DASH FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND STILL BEEPING LOUDLY AT ME EVERY FEW MINUTES. I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED AT THE THE PRICE OF 450.00 (DEALERSHIP QUOTE)? THERE IS NO REASON FOR WHY THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD BE BROKEN AND HAVE TO BE FIXED. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT? WHY IS THE 2000 YEAR BEING SKIPPED OVER FOR THIS JEEP AND THE RECALLS OF IT?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. AFTER I HIT 100K MILES MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY CHIMES. THERE SEEMS TO BE A GREAT DEAL OF JEEP USERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING SENSOR. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T REPLACE OR SEEK REPAIR FOR THIS? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT GM CAN DO TO RECALL THE PART? I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN JUST MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED RANDOMLY. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE DEALER STATED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND ALARMING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I LOOKED IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL FOR INFORMATION. IT SAID I NEEDED TO CONTACT MY DEALER. I DID. THE DEALER, AFTER A 3 HOUR INSPECTION, GAVE ME A DIAGNOSIS. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED HOW MUCH THIS WOULD COST. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY $1200 PARTS AND LABOR. IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN AFFORD THAT. I ASKED THE MECHANIC WHAT WAS THE WORSE CASE SCENARIO IF I DID NOTHING. HE SAID, "WELL, WORSE CASE, YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BAG DEPLOYS." I ASKED IF THEY COULD UNPLUG THE SYSTEM...THEY TOLD ME NO. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FEATURE REPAIRED. BUT, I ALSO AM HORRIFIED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE BAG DOES DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, I WOULD HOPE THAT THE JEEP WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. A RECALL WOULD HELP ME GREATLY. *TR
