2008 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1238449
Internal NHTSA #	10790059
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2008
File date	14/08/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle had issue resolved by recall p57 where key fob would stick in ignition between off and on. The key first got stuck in the ignition on 8/14/14, a memorable day, because it happened on the day we were going to the title company to close on our first home. At the same time the ignition switch issue started the airbag light came on and all the steering wheel functions are disabled. The horn no longer works. It is unknown if the airbags work. This is clearly a safety issue but the dealership wants to charge $90 just to hook the vehicle up to their machines to diagnose what is going on and will not consider this as related to the recall p57. Not being able to honk in the interest of safety is a problem. It is unknown if the airbags are functional so i guess it will take getting in an accident to find out (an accident which cannot be prevented by honking my horn to warn another driver).
