2011 Jeep Liberty Airbags Problems

The airbag light came on and the computer indicated it's the clock spring. I know that this is a safety issue as I've had the same issue with a previous car in which it was recalled.

THE TIPM IN MY JEEP IS MESSING UP AND CAUSING ENGINE STALLING, RADIO FAILURE, ETC. I HAVE A BLUE DRIVER THAT CONSTANTLY GIVES ME CODES RELATED TO THIS PART DEFECT. I'VE ALSO GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON ALL THE TIME AND YET MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR THIS PART. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG MIGHT POSSIBLE FAIL. MY ENGINE HAS ALMOST STALLED 3-4 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT EITHER FROM A STOP LIGHT ACCELERATING OR CROSSING AT AN INTERSECTION THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON, AFTER THE MECHANIC TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO RESET IT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP. WHEN THE COMPUTER IS CONNECTED IT SHOWS THE ONLY AIRBAG AFFECTED IS THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH, MUCH LESS ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY SO IT IS THE ORIGINAL. IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY ANYTIME THE KEY IS IN THE ON/STARTED POSITION

AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF CONTINUALLY. IT CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET IT TO STOP WITHOUT GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY A $100 SERVICE FEE TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG OR NOT. IT CONTINUES AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. EVERY DAY ALL DAY UNTIL I RETURN AND PARK. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET IT BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND LETTING IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND RECONNECTING IT BUT IT WILL COME RIGHT BACK ON WHEN WE RECONNECT IT AND BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING 45 IN A 45 MPH ZONE IN THE SUBURBS OF MESA, AZ SUDDENLY MY JEEP LIBERTY PULLED SEVERELY TO RIGHT CAUSING ME TO HIT A 3 FT DIAMETER POLL. AIR BAG DEPLOYED AS EXPECTED BUT THE FORCE OF AIR BAG BLEW A 8 INCH HOLE IN AIRBAG AND SEVERELY BROKE MY CHEST CAVITY AND ABDOMEN CAUSING SPLEEN RUPTURE AND BLOOD AND TOXINS IN MY SPINAL FLUID. MY IMPRESSION OF AIRBAGS IS TO PREVENT INJURY NOT CAUSE INJURY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS. WAS IN TRAUMA MEDICAL CENTER FOR 6 DAYS AND STILL HOME PAINFULLY HEALING. STEERING AND AIRBAG MAY BE DEFECTIVE. MY JEEP WAS TOTALED. HAVE NOT RECEIVED POLICE OR INSURANCE REPORT YET. STILL WAITING BUT NEEDED TO REPORT HOPEFULLY TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE INJURY

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AS A SMALL SUV FOR OUR FAMILY AND IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK. THE ANNIVERSARY PACKAGE THAT WE BOUGHT IS A JOKE. THE FAKE LEATHER SEAT HAVE COMPLETELY DETERIORATED WHICH WE OVERLOOKED BUT NOW THE CAR IS HAVING SAFETY ISSUES. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS A JOKE AND THE FAILED MODULE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY NOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THE STEALERSHIP SOLD TO US. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE , CHRYSLER OR JEEP PRODUCT AS THEY ARE VERY UNRELIABLE VEHICLES AS WELL AS MY EXPERIENCES WITH 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAS BEEN BEYOND HORRIBLE. THEY EVEN LIED TO US ABOUT CHANGING OUR OIL IN THE CAR AND OFFERED A FREE OIL CHANGE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LIE. WHAT A JOKE THEY DID NOT EVEN CHANGE OUR OIL AND SAID THEY DID. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CARS FOR 20 YEARS SO I KNOW A FEW TRICKS OF THE TRADE AND I ALWAYS DO THINGS TO BE ASSURED THAT THE SAID WORK IS BEING PERFORMED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT NEEDS A NEW MODULE THAT IS RECALLED FOR THE SAME YEAR AS MY JEEP BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOW HORRIBLE IS THAT. I WILL NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THESE CARS NOR WILL I EVER REFER ANYONE I KNOW TO PURCHASE SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP. *TR
