Problems with 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee AIR BAGS

We were driving into our parking stall at home when our airbags deployed. as we reversed and drove forward to straighten our car in our stall we noticed the airbag light turn on suddenly and airbags automatically deployed. our entire family was in the car and kids are traumatized. super scary moment, and what if we were driving on the highway!

Air bag warning light stays on intermittently upon startup, usually will go out if shut off and restart, but not always. has been recalled twice already for airbag issue so am fairly confident this is the same problem still. only 89000 miles on the vehicle and is 100% garage kept. .

When is this going to be forced on chrysler fiat, i had a recall post card about this problem and that's 3 years ago !!!! they say they are working on getting the parts and as soon as it's available we will get another notice to fix, let me just say this is bs , chrysler is basically buying their time so that the remaining vehicle for this recall to be junked or out live their years. the ntsb should be ashamed in not getting chrysler to fix this !! for god sakes it's been 3 years and still nothing, you guys are worthless and don't enforce your own recalls !

On february 22, 2018 we brought our 2002 jeep cherokee in to merrick chrysler on sunrise highway in wantagh because my wife was advised of a security concern over the airbag unexpectedly deploying (which has already happened to her in an unrelated incident). after scheduling and waiting a couple of months we brought the car in and after 3 hours i was told they didn't have the parts and to call back. my wife refused to even sit in the car until it was fixed. i called the dealer and they refused to even give me a time frame on receipt of the parts or repair of the recall. within a few weeks thereafter i was at my wits end went to the dealership and purchased a newer jeep cherokee the was guaranteed not to have any problems but to this day i haven't received even a call regarding the repair which has now cost my family an additional $26,000.00, but it sure wasn't the way we wanted to get a new car. we have a gorgeous new jeep that she drives and i also purchased another car because i do not want to get hit in the head by a faulty air bag. please help us with our recall. seriously, enough is enough already. we have a gorgeous jeep in our driveway, registered and insured and undriveable, unless you can guarantee that if the airbag deploys we will have our own dealership if we live through the accident!! even more concerning is the disdain and importance with which we are treated. buy a new car they drool at your feet but god so help the poor old schmuck who shows up with some old clunker that they won't make a dime off of. please help us. its just not fair.

I brought the subject vehicle in for recall items. i dealt with mr. ralph alfano of arroway. i immediately advised that i was profoundly deaf, and i may not fully understand all conversation. i was processed to have the recall work done and brought the vehicle in on november 9, 2017. during the day i spoke to the service department on my cell phone. they advised an additional part had to be installed. i could not understand fully what they were telling me, but the work was done. it turned out that they felt that they had to replace the impact sensor on the airbag, and for this they charged me $315.83. as this is related to the defective module of the recalled airbag, this should be part of the recall (and not charged to the owners of the vehicles). i ask you to intercede in this and take action to protect the consumers from being charged for this additional work. is this not part of the recall? your public notice does not fully describe the repair and parts that are included (nhtsa recall number 15v-046). please follow up and advise.

Gresham, or dodge, jeep and ram dealer quoted 3 weeks for an appointment on a voluntary safety recall notice (r06 / nhtsa 15v-046) for my vehicle. if my airbag could deploy inadvertently you'd think they'd want to bring it in right away but, guess not. i guess the company would like more lawsuits because i'm assuming everyone else is having this issue in my area. hopefully they pull their heads out their asses and make recall notices a priority or bring in some more technicians to make time for the recalls.

I was sitting at a red light and upon the light turning green i turned to the right and was about to merge into the left lane when both airbags exploded for no reason. no one was in the passenger seat at the time of the incident nor was there any other cars close by that i could have hit. the bag burst with such force that i saw stars for a second. damage left me with a bruised cheek, cut arm and bruised hand along with a sore chest pain. the smell and smoke from the air bag filled my vehicle even though i could still see it was foggy. it happened right near my home so i was able to park the car. the sound was like someone was shooting a gun at my car. the result is chrysler does have a recall on these airbags, they have my vehicle but are unable to find the parts to make repairs. the force was so hard that it damaged my whole dashboard. chrysler dealer now has my car and they are telling me they will need to do an investigation on "their recalled airbags" and do not know when or if they will be able to get my car fixed nor are they willing to provide me with transportation during this time. i am a property manager and could loose my job over their negligence.

Occupant restraint control recall - i just had this part replaced at a jeep dealership. when i turned my vehicle on, i noticed that both the airbag and seatbelt lights are still on. i immediately went back into the dealership and spoke with the service employee and they stated that they were only authorized to replace the module and refused to tell me whether the problem was resolved or if my airbags are properly functioning. how can i know for sure if the problem has been resolved if the lights which indicated the problem are still on?
