2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Airbags Problems

Both front seatbelt receivers on your Jeep aren't working properly—the seatbelts won't latch into the receivers normally and require you to push the seatbelt button first. Your dashboard seatbelt warning light stays on constantly even when the belts are fastened, and your airbag warning light has started coming on and off intermittently over the past few weeks. A repair shop diagnosed the airbag light as a problem with the driver's side seatbelt retractor spring. Fixing this will likely require replacement of the faulty seatbelt assemblies and possibly the retractor mechanism.

Air bags light in the dashboard is on without any accident. Air bags are original, seems to be in good conditions or without any physical damage on the exterior. Call my attention the recalls for the Air bags light in others Jeep Grand Cherokee from others years.

I OWN A USED 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELTS ARE NOT LATCHING UNLESS I PRESS DOWN ON THE RED BUTTON. THE RED SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND THE AUDIBLE CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE MANUAL DOES DESCRIBE A METHOD IN WHICH YOU CAN DISABLE THE SEATBELT INDICATOR CHIME. HOWEVER, TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS YOU MUST BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SEATBELT IN THE BUCKLED POSITION, WHICH THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO DETECT AS THE SEATBELTS ARE FAULTY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CHIME IS TO SNIP THE SEAT BELT SENSOR AND GROUND WIRES COMING FROM THE VEHICLES COMPUTER UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS AND SPLICE THEM TOGETHER. THIS WILL GROUND OUT THE SENSOR BUT IT ALSO CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. SO, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN EITHER HAVING AIRBAGS AND A NONSTOP SEATBELT INDICATOR CHIME, OR NO CHIME AND NO AIRBAGS. THIS IS TROUBLESOME.

DURING RAIN STORMS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE FLOODED WITH WATER. THIS HAS RUINED CARPET IN VEHICLE AND WILL PROBABLY RUST THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. - VEHICLE STATIONERY IN DRIVEWAY OF HOME. THE SAFETY BELTS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE NOT WORKING - DO NOT SECURE UNLESS YOU PUSH DOWN HARD TO ENGAGE THE BELT INTO LOCK MODE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN I HAVE TO MANUALLY ENGAGE THE BELT HOOK INTO THE LOCK. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE IN MOTION AT TIME. WHEN I START THE ENGINE , VEHICLE STILL IN PARK MODE, IT ACCELERATES IN HIGH MODE WITHOUT STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. ON A CITY STREET.

TAMARA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGH IMPACT CRASH ON MAY 5,2018 AND OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN CRASH . IMPACT ON FRONT OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE ALSO ROLLED ON SIDE AND RIGHT WHEEL AND BODY ASSEMBLE BROKE OFF CAR. CAR WAS ON FREEWAY AT 55MPH AT START OF ACCIDENT. BATTERY BROKE FREE OF MOUNT EVEN THOUGH AREA AROUND TRAY WAS NOT DAMAGED

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.

AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER ON THE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY AUG 27TH, WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR A WEEK FOR SERVICE REPAIRS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE CONSOLE TO REPAIR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWING AIR BAG DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY SEPT. 4TH, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND THEY DID FIND A WIRE THAT WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD FAILED. THEY REFUSE TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID SOMETHING DURING THE EMERGENCY BREAK REPAIR PERIOD THAT DEACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS AND TOLD ME THE $480 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED, I CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THAT FRONT SEAT, SO I HAVE AT THIS TIME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THIS DEALER MAKE THAT REPAIR.

I HAVE A RECALL THAT SAYS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN CHANGE POSITION WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN CAUSE A LOSS IN ENGINE POWER, POWERE STEERING, BRAKING ASSISTANCE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF AIR BAGS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE INCIDENT THAT I DESCRIBE ABOVE OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 85. I BELEIVE THAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED AS I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE RAOD TO AN EXIT. SAT FOR A WHILE TRYING TO FIQURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG FINALLY AFTER A WHILE THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER READING THE ARTICLE AND LOOKING UP MY VIN NUMBER WHICH SHOWS THIS RECALL I BELEIVE THAT IS WHAT HAPPENDED.
