“Airbag light coming Laredo.!! Will it work??? Drivers side squib is error it reads is there an issue with squib and clockspring? Very expensive repair several issues on web about clockspeings going bad on all years of jeep grand cherokee laredos. Mine is 2001 jeep.”

“TAKATA RECALL-- I HAD AN ACCIDENT JANUARY 7, 2016, I HIT A POLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I DID A SEARCH AND I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS JEEP. I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE. I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE COMPANY THEY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND SUPPOSEDLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I MYSELF AND MY GIRLFRIEND WAS INJURED AND UNDER DOCTORS CARE. MY CAR IS TORE UP IN THE FRONT. WHY? THOSE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME. I WAS TRAVELING ON RTE 49 EAST.”

“THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT DID THAT ABOUT EVER FIVE MINUTES. IT HAS DONE THAT SINCE THAT DATE. I TOOK IT TO THE FARICY BOYS JEEP DEALER IN COLORADO SPRINGS, THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ITEM TO BE PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURE. HE SAID "NO." HE SAID I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR IF I WANTED A NEW AIRBAG. I FIND THIS REPLACEMENT COST FOR THIS ITEM STRANGE FOR TWO REASONS. ONE: I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AND TWO: AIRBAGS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CARS AT THIS VERY TIME AND ARE BEING REPLACED AT NO COST.”

“THERE IS A PROBLEM WHICH MOST EVERYBODY EXPERIENCES ON 1999 AND UP JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY , RANDOMLY. THIS LIGHT AND CHIME INDICATED THE AIRBAG IS INOPERATIVE. THIS IS TYPICALLY DUE TO A FAULTY UNRELIABLE DESIGNED "CLOCKSPRING" IN STEERING WHEEL UNDER THE AIRBAG ASSY. THIS IS VERY COSTLY TO FIX AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. PLEASE RESEARCH AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY WIDE SPREAD. THERE IS A FEAR THAT BAG MAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO SHORT IN SYSTEM. THIS WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP, THIS IS URGENT. *TR”
