NHTSA Complaint #10721233 — 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE

GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO GO TO AN APPOINTMENT, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, I NO LONGER HAVE CRUISE CONTROL, OR THE USE OF THE HORN. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THERE MAY BE A FUTURE RECALL ON THE CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS THESE ITEMS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHILE IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE AIRBAG COULD INADVERTENTLY BE DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RECALL TO BEGIN. THE PART TO REPAIR THE CAR IS OVER $250. I AM STILL DRIVING THE CAR AS I AM ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN'T AFFORD THE PARTS. MY HOPE IS THAT I DON'T HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG ON TOP OF IT ALL!! *TR
