| Description of the problem | While starting up my jeep grand cherokee the air bag warning light came on with a system failure and that it needed service. About 2 minutes after that my drivers seat belt light came on telling me it was not latched (though it was) and it needed service. Then about 30 sec later the acc/fec system failed and a warning came on. When i took it to chrysler fairoaks dodge in chantilly that night they looked at it the next day and told me a module was bad (orc filter?) that controlled the airbags and everything else was effected because of that. Trouble is there is no part in stock for repair and they want to keep my car for weeks while waiting. )i bet jeep is still making new cars with the part so why no part for my car? Anyway, i was at jeep to pick up a rental since it would be so long and another jeep grand cherokee 2014 pulled in with the exact same problem. Very odd i thought and worth reporting. Maybe chrysler is hiding something here and more is wrong with their grand cherokees that they own up to. (especially since the part is in such short supply which is odd) perhaps a recall may be in order. |
