Less then 30 days ago i purchased a used 2006 jeep cherokee laredo 4x2. the dealer said the airbag sensor just needed replaced no big deal. now i am experiencing the same thing as alot of older people. the driver's side seat belt started not latching unless i press down on the red button. so then the red seat belt indicator light won't go off and the audible chimes continuously and will not shut off while driving no matter what i do. moving the seat belt around to try and get the chime to stop as well as the audible chiming while driving makes it very annoying and distracting from the road. i need answers on why this should be at my cost when between the airbag and seat belt sensors are truly safety issue. their is no warranty at 154457 miles. please advise on the airbag recall etc... the airbag light was on when purchased 7/18/17. the seat belt chiming and light started staying on 8/10/17.
