Jeep Cherokee 2018 limited AC turns off throughout the drive. It makes the SUV vibrate to the point I can’t see out the review mirror. Had AC serviced and checked. Issue persisted shortly after.

Last week we noticed steering wheel controls not working, steering wheel heater .. cruise control ,, hands free,controls Today took in to Jeep dealer In superior Wi was told it is the Clock Spring , squib,, said that we have to replace entire unit including new airbag .. as we do not know for sure if until the work done ,air bag would deploy as per dealer ,he isn't 100 percent sure. ,and the entire thing has to be replaced at a hefty cost of 1000.00 as well as safety , being told that other larger trucks and Jeep models have had this as a recall I contacted JEEP and they said nothing they can do ,, but to hang on to receipts in the event of a future recall.. we do not feel that they are treating this as the safety issue that it truly is . This is after we have had rear driver caliper replaced over heating and seizing , at 800.00. also been told this is common for Jeep and another safety issue as well . The dealer said both are recall worthy on this vehicle .this has been all within 50 -60,000 miles.. We feel something needs to happen here before someone gets killed. Thank You

Received a message on car display to "Service Airbag System." Dealer (Tasca of White Plains, NY) determined that one of the crash sensors had failed. Dealer said that first replacement sensor was defective, and that they would need to install a second one. If what the dealer said is true about the replacement sensor, then that's two defective crash sensors.

Service Air Bag Light came on three different times when turning left. The third time it came on the vehicle died in the middle of an intersection and dashboard lights lit up. Took vehicle to Dealer, they said there were codes and a star case S1808000180, they tore apart center console. Did not find a problem, they test drove car and said no more codes. I picked up vehicle and after driving approx. 30 miles home, service air bag light came on again while stopped at light and car died. Car was towed to second dealer, codes popped up U0103, U11DE, U0002, U1465, C10CD. Dealer did not know how to fix. Called Jeep customer cares. Car has been out of service since May 13, 2022. Going to a third dealer on June 9, 2022.

Car consistently has airbag lights going on and off with no clear reason. The dealer “fixed” it and said that there was a loose connection and the cleaned it and fixed it. Cost me $200 and within a week it was back to intermittently turning on and off

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON THE SAME RECALL FOR THE 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE, WHICH WHEN YOU TAKE IT IN THE DIAGNOSTIC IS A COST FOR THE SAME THING GOING ON WITH THEIR 2019 JEEP CHEROKEES SO THE RECALL SHOULD BE ON BOTH YEARS JUST NOT THE 2019. IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT RESET THEN THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF YOU BE IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS NOT SAFE.
