Air bag sensor fails to properly sense a passenger in the passenger seat and the service airbag warning light cycles on and off. To keep it from cycling - one must disconnect the sensor. I have contacted the dealer to diagnose the problem. The condition occurred after starting the vehicle and occurs whether there is a passenger or not. It also occurs while the car is in run mode. Airbag will not function or may deploy with too much force

The failure of the vehicle-??s safety condition check for an empty driver-??s seat for an auto stop indicates that the -??Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)-?? and/or the -??Advanced Front Air Bag system-?? are not receiving proper information. This creates a serious safety hazard as the front air bags may not deploy or may not -??adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags-?? as specified in the owner-??s manual. For driver safety, these systems and their associated sensors should be fully examined and tested. The vehicle auto stops when the driver-??s seat is not occupied, in direct conflict with owner-??s manual. The owner-??s manual specifically states that if the -??Driver-??s seat is not occupied-?? that the -??engine will not stop.-?? Note that this system safety check is separate and distinct from the -??Driver-??s seat belt is not buckled-?? check. The vehicle fails to properly check for the empty driver-??s seat safety condition before initiating an auto stop. The associated auto stop malfunction was reproduced and confirmed by multiple service personnel at 2 Jeep dealerships, who expressed safety concerns. The malfunction was also recreated by 4 independent mechanic shops and documented as a safety concern. However, an FCA Technical Advisor (TA) claimed that the vehicle is -??operating as designed-??, despite the vehicle operating in violation of the owner-??s manual. I feel unsafe driving the vehicle, as this is one of numerous hardware / software malfunctions plaguing the vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
