Was involved in a t-boned accident where the front end of my Jeep stuck a vehicle in the side. The collision sensor did not activate nor did the air bags deploy. The other vehicle involved had airbags that deployed. The Jeep is at my residence for inspection. With airbags not performing properly (faulty) this did not keep the upper body from jilting forward which causes head and shoulder issues. Insurance has not investigated neither did police. There was no warning lights or messages indicating that there was a problem prior to the accident.

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.

I slide off the road and went into a ditch then rolled a dew times no airbags denied I was upside-down bach shoulder head injury and left leg all on the left side . Y mirror wouldn't call 911 I have photos.

I know there is a recall for the air bags and my air bag light came on and said service airbag’s system. I read y’all’s article that says keep a watch on my dash board and this is a safety concern and very dangerous if I wreck or someone wrecks into me and my airbags don’t go off.

Start driving the vehicle multiple times during the operation you get a service airbag message with a code / dtc of b0020-13 which fca put out a TSB for but when you do take the car in the code is not stored in memory, so they refused to repair it.

My vehicle was in 2 major wrecks. One in Dec 2021, where I t boned someone who turned in front of me at a green light. $19k in damages. Should have totaled it. But how in the hell the air bags didn’t go off is amazing. Bc my chest hit the steering wheel so hard I had to be treated for it. Not only that but the wreck destroyed my lower vertebrae. After it took the shop 6 months to fix and taken back for problems multiple times. I had it 2 weeks, and the brakes failed. Due to something the shop did I’m sure but I rear ended a lady with no brakes at 45-50 mph. Slamming directly into her even though I saw her. I broke my toe I hit the brakes so hard. But again I hit her directly where all the sensors are and this wreck was worse than the first the vehicle totaled and no air bags went off…. I shattered my left knee from hitting the dash. Broke my big toe on my right foot etc. Why didn’t my air bags go off…… I bought my vehicle certified pre owned in 2019. There’s no way in either wreck I missed that air bag sensor. I work in the collision industry. I know they have to be hit directly on to make them go off but there is no reason mine shouldn’t have other than a defect. I was alone in the first wreck, the second I was further injured and had to stop treatment I was still undergoing from the wreck before bc of the lapsing. My daughter was also injured in the second wreck. Second wreck happened in July 2022.

Was driving down hwy and vehicle pulled out directly in front of me. Nothing I could do but hit the brakes. Severe front end damage done to my 2021 Jeep Cherokee. Airbags did not deploy. There were injuries. No one can figure out why the airbags didn't deploy on either the passenger side nor the driver side. Thankfully no one was killed. I believe there to be a defect in the airbags on this vehicle of not deploying. The collision was fast enough and enough front end damage to deploy. The airbags in the other vehicle that was involved deployed just fine. Ours however didn't. Asking Jeep to look at their 2021 Cherokee models.
