FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND AN INTERMITTENT WARNING CHIME (1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO). I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE EXPENSE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T OR IF IT WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THIS SAFETY WEBSITE AND THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY INDICATING MALFUNCTION IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM. TOOK TO DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION.
