There is a recall on my Jeep Liberty 2002 on the airbag that can deploy at any time. Chrysler does not have the parts to fix the problem. It has been months of waiting. I am concerned about my safety driving the vehicle.

The air bag light on my dashboard continuously goes on and off while driving. I took it to my dealership, tempe Jeep in Arizona, on 10/04/2012 and was told they could not duplicate the issue. They also stated that there was no record of the incidents in the truck's computer system. I know a recall exists for 2002 Jeep Liberty's, but according to the dealer my VIN is not within the recall.

I received a recall notice M35/NHTSA 12V-527 months ago. I went to the local dealer in owatonna, mn about 1-2 months after I got it, this last summer, and was told they do not have the parts yet! they told me they would send me another notice when the parts come in. I have yet to receive any such notice. A friend of mine also has a Jeep, and said he went to the faribault location, where he lives, and they fixed his Jeep right away. Mine still has not been fixed. Can you contact them and see what the problem is? owatonna Jeep dealer if you need to contact me, please do so by email, I am seldom by my phone.

Not long before receiving an "interim notification letter" from Chrysler re: Safety recall M35/NHTSA 12V-527, my Jeep's air bag light would come on while I was driving down the road. About Jan 2013 I received the interim notification letter telling me that my "occupant restraint control module...has a small chance of experiencing an electrical overstress condition. When I received this notification I called my local Jeep dealer, interstate Dodge-Chrysler in West monroe, la. I was told then and every month since that Chrysler had not sent them the needed part. On Jun 14, parts mgr named steve told me that the part was expected this past month but has not yet arrived. He promised to call me when it was received by interstate Dodge. Having not heard from him, on July 31 I called him again. I left a message which has yet to be returned. About two weeks ago I received a second notification from Chrysler which seemed to indicate that the needed parts were now available. I called interstate Dodge and scheduled the service work for this recall. They did the work today, 11/6/13. I was called and told the issue had been repaired. I picked up the Jeep and drove it home. I have driven it again only to see that the repair was apparently not completed. The air bag light continues to come on and stay on. I called interstate Dodge a few minutes ago and was told that they did the recall work and that the airbag light on the dash is related to another cause. Of course, I would be required to return my Jeep and pay an undisclosed fee for this repair. I should have been told of this continuing problem when I picked up my vehicle. I was not. I do not trust interstate Dodge when they tell me they did the recall work. I do not believe I should have to pay for them to repair my air bag issue since this was the issue to be addressed by the recall.
