2002 JEEP LAREDO

HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO AIR BAG RECALL. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH BOARD IS ON. I AM CONSIDERING BUYING THIS JEEP, LAREDO, 2002, TODAY!

THE ALERT FOR THE TURN SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN I TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON. THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK PROPERLY, AND THE REVERSE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON THE SAME MODEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO'S ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

DRIVER SEAT MADE SLIGHT BUMPING NOISE WHEN MOVING SEAT BACK AND FORTH ON A DAILY BASIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH. I WAS THEN INVOLVED IN A VERY LOW IMPACT ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. AT IMPACT OF COLLISION THE DRIVERS SEAT COMPLETELY SHEARED OFF OF THE BRACKET.
