| Description of the problem | During a trip of approx 250 miles, after 4 hours of driving the vehicle exhibited numerous alarms as follows; "air bag system requires service", "drivers seatbelt disconnected", "front passenger seatbelt disconnected", and "vehicle phone requires service". At all times both driver and passenger had their seatbelt on, positively connected. The vehicle would randomly repeat the chimes as if the alarms were coming in repeatedly. After approx. 1/2 hour, all alarms reset. 2 days later on the return trip, about 1 hour into the trip the same problems as listed above repeated itself, except it will no longer reset. Presently vehicle, upon startup goes through the above mentioned alarms with the seatbelt light, and airbag light constantly on. After researching this problem on jeep forums for the wk2 model, their appears to be number failures of the orc module for this vehicle. My vehicle has not been analyzed by chrysler at this time, but a service date is scheduled. Currently as stated by a chrysler employee, there are 400 orc modules backorderd for this year vehicle. |
