2011 JEEP LIBERTY Air Bags Problems

The airbag light came on and the computer indicated it's the clock spring. I know that this is a safety issue as I've had the same issue with a previous car in which it was recalled.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the horn was pressed; however, the horn failed to function as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 169,000.

THE TIPM IN MY JEEP IS MESSING UP AND CAUSING ENGINE STALLING, RADIO FAILURE, ETC. I HAVE A BLUE DRIVER THAT CONSTANTLY GIVES ME CODES RELATED TO THIS PART DEFECT. I'VE ALSO GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON ALL THE TIME AND YET MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR THIS PART. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG MIGHT POSSIBLE FAIL. MY ENGINE HAS ALMOST STALLED 3-4 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT EITHER FROM A STOP LIGHT ACCELERATING OR CROSSING AT AN INTERSECTION THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON, AFTER THE MECHANIC TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO RESET IT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP. WHEN THE COMPUTER IS CONNECTED IT SHOWS THE ONLY AIRBAG AFFECTED IS THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH, MUCH LESS ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY SO IT IS THE ORIGINAL. IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY ANYTIME THE KEY IS IN THE ON/STARTED POSITION

AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF CONTINUALLY. IT CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.

IT CONTINUES AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. EVERY DAY ALL DAY UNTIL I RETURN AND PARK. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET IT BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND LETTING IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND RECONNECTING IT BUT IT WILL COME RIGHT BACK ON WHEN WE RECONNECT IT AND BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN.

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AS A SMALL SUV FOR OUR FAMILY AND IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK. THE ANNIVERSARY PACKAGE THAT WE BOUGHT IS A JOKE. THE FAKE LEATHER SEAT HAVE COMPLETELY DETERIORATED WHICH WE OVERLOOKED BUT NOW THE CAR IS HAVING SAFETY ISSUES. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS A JOKE AND THE FAILED MODULE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY NOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THE STEALERSHIP SOLD TO US. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE , CHRYSLER OR JEEP PRODUCT AS THEY ARE VERY UNRELIABLE VEHICLES AS WELL AS MY EXPERIENCES WITH 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAS BEEN BEYOND HORRIBLE. THEY EVEN LIED TO US ABOUT CHANGING OUR OIL IN THE CAR AND OFFERED A FREE OIL CHANGE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LIE. WHAT A JOKE THEY DID NOT EVEN CHANGE OUR OIL AND SAID THEY DID. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CARS FOR 20 YEARS SO I KNOW A FEW TRICKS OF THE TRADE AND I ALWAYS DO THINGS TO BE ASSURED THAT THE SAID WORK IS BEING PERFORMED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT NEEDS A NEW MODULE THAT IS RECALLED FOR THE SAME YEAR AS MY JEEP BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOW HORRIBLE IS THAT. I WILL NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THESE CARS NOR WILL I EVER REFER ANYONE I KNOW TO PURCHASE SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP. *TR

SO YESTERDAY AFTER WORK I GET IN MY CAR AND START IT, AND I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I FIGURED MAYBE THE SENSOR WAS TRIGGERED BY THE HOT WEATHER BUT THAT STILL DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I LOOK UP WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER (THEY WERE CLOSED). THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGHT SURELY THE CODE WOULD CLEAR AND ALL WOULD BE WELL. TO MY SURPRISE MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT (MIND YOU, I HAVE 2 WARRANTIES ON THIS CAR) AND I JUST KNOW IT WILL BE COVERED. WRONG! I WAS SHOCKED AND DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT MY AIRBAG HAS 2 PROBLEMS, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR HAS BLOWN OUT AND THE THE AIRBAG MODULE IS BLOWN OUT (MEANING IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT). ON TOP OF ALL THIS, NEITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE COVERED BY MY $4,000 WARRANTY AND WILL COST ME $910 BEFORE TAXES. SERIOUSLY??? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME EXTRA FOR WHAT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF ALREADY PURCHASING: A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON. SOMEONE COULD DIE.
