There has not been an accident, but my airbag indicator light continues to come on, it will stay on for miles, sometimes it will go off, other times it will not go off until I turn off the engine. I never know when it will come on or go off, but I am constantly in fear that the airbag itself will deploy with me going down the road and cause me to have an accident.
- Columbus, GA, USA
We have Jeep Liberty with the airbag warning light on at all times. We took it several times to the dealer, and they tell us that there is a recall on the orc, and that they cannot do anything about until they do the recall, but that there are not parts available. In the meantime we are driving without knowing if that airbag is going to deploy it in the wrong time or is going to deploy at all in case of an accident. Is there any advice of how to get this problem fixed?

Airbag light comes on intermittently. Stays on for several miles, then turns off. This happens repeatedly everyday. Why hasn't this been recalled and Chrysler paid to fix this safety hazard?? also, seat belt release button stopped releasing. It stayed suppressed in the release position not allowing the belt to lock in. After tapping it hard, it released. Then it froze in the locked position and I couldn't get out of the belt. Now it works, but I'm not sure if it's really locked and will release in an accident.
