“Air bag light starting going off and on in my 2009 Jeep wrangler xunlimited about 62,000 miles. Now it is on more than off. Dealer says they can't determine what the cause is unless the light is on while they hook it up for diagnostic testing. Have reviewed various other complaints online about this problem and was told to report to your website. It is a right hand drive rural mail Jeep. I believe chrysler needs to recall these vehicles.”
