The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. it feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. it is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. it is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. like yesterday.

Passenger air bag warning light remains on.

Air bag light is constantly flashing and rendering cruise control useless. everything work as necessary, then one day when attempting to get on highway, i pressed cruise control only for it to flash in the dash panel, then disappear. once off the highway to my destination, i turned the grand cherokee off. when i got back in the vehicle, the airbag light stayed on for at least 15 minutes then shut off. during the time of the air bag light on, i was able to press the cruise control and have it stay on the dash panel, but i still had no use of it. once the air bag light shut off, i then pressed cruise control again just for it to flash on then back off. now the passenger airbag light is flashing or stays illuminated when the vehicle is being used. my jeep just passed 125,000 miles. this shouldn't happen to sucha low mileage vehicle for the age.. who will fix this mess?

My jeep was in a really bad accident and the front end was totally bashed in and none of the air bags came out. the jeep is a complete total and the air bags are still not deployed. have you had any other complaints regarding this year and type of vehicle? it was in motion and ran into a huge area with several large signs.

Takata recall my 2005 jeep grand cherokee was purchased used from a dealership with "0" open recalls. after owning the vehicle less than 2 months, hit a pot hole and the passengers air bag deactivation light and the airbag light on the instrument panel are both on. in addition, the tire inflation indicator is on and we paid to have a new sensor installed. light is still on-being told there is a malfunction. have read other complaints filed which state both the airbag and tire sensor indicators have come on at the same time.

Noticed the "pass air bag warning light" was staying on all the time. then i received a p41 ignition switch recall. took the car to a chrysler dealer for ignition switch replacement. air bag warning light still stays on after switch replacement. my reasoning is that the air bag warning light originally came on because the original ignition switch was faulty and caused damage to the air bag and/or it's sensor circuitry. is there any recourse under this recall to rectify this air bag warning light problem with hopefully no cost to me.

Air bag warning light first came on intermittently. at one time i could adjust the passenger seat and correct the problem. it now stays on all the time. i see that the 2004 model has a recall, and mine was manufactured in late 2004, but is not on the recall vin list. i did not realize that this may mean the airbag is not functioning at all, but rather thought it was just an electrical problem. the 2005 model should have been included in this recall. this looks like a long standing problem with previous years models and obviously has not been corrected in the 2005 model.

My airbag icon on dashboard used to flash on and off while traveling. it is now on constantly. i have tried moving the seat back and forth to no avail. i understand that my airbag has now been deactivated.

At approximate june 2014 i received a recall notice for the ignition switch. chrysler said approx. delivery of september 2014. i have not heard or received anything since then. my concern other than the unsafe ignition switch situation is that every time i use my jeep, my airbag warning light flashes on and off continuously. as time goes on, the worse it gets. my dealer says he has checked others vehicles with the same problem; his best guess is it's related to the ignition switch. he also said the airbag should be a concern because it may activate at any time...even without an accident! chrysler told me not to be concerned...how can i not be concerned? what else can i do? *tr
