What owners wrote
Due to the recall on the air bag module the fuse blew out causing the wiring harness to catch fire burning up the whole harness and if replaced the problem will still persist due to no part for the air bag module was driving down the road and have to pull over and call the fire department
I bought my car as a second hand with the airbag light on and the dealer told me it's a recall that jeep has to fix. I took it to the dealership that specializes in jeep's and they couldn't fix it . Is there any way I can get helped ?
