“2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee - seat & airbag deployment sensors - check engine light came on, and took vehicle to dealer for inspection. Dealer stated that seat sensor tied to airbag deployment velocity was malfunctioning ($300 to replace). Dealer re-checked next day and found all 4 sensors malfunctioning (when 150# man sits in seat, sensors read 250# man). Now all 4 sensors need to be replaced ($1000) and fasten seatbelt light/bell sound endlessly. Dealer won't replace (out of warranty), neither will Jeep.”

NHTSA complaint #11123396, filed 2018-08“I and one passenger were involved in a traffic accident. I was driving a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was stopped and was hit from behind and then was pushed into the car in front of me. My passenger immediately complained of her left calf hurting her. We looked to see what could have caused this pain--it was the adjustment bar located under the seat. The adjustment bar is large and sticks out from under the seat. I felt that it should not be sticking out so much. I contacted the car company (daimler-chyrsler). They had someone inspect the vehicle. …”
