Failure Date: 07/16/2017

Force was great enough to push me into another direction, up a curb and into property and eventually stopping at a tree. The driver door was was unable to open, and front end was crumpled. Not a single air bag deployed. There are air bags in the front seats, above the side windows, knee bolsters and steering and dash.

2 Air Bag Knee Bolster problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 12/30/2015

Dec 30, 2015 I was broadsided by a van in my drivers side door causing my vehicle to roll over several times before crashing head on into a sound wall. I was pinned in the vehicle upside down with my right leg pinned up under the dash. The side curtain airbag deployed at the moment of impact, how ever my drivers airbag and knee bolsters did not deploy causing me to impact the steering wheel with my sternum and smashing both knees into the dash which caused my right leg to be pinned up underneath the dash. The terrible pain I had to suffer and still to this day experience was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. We complied with the safety recall we received regarding the airbags, but on 3 different occastions of taking the Jeep into the dealership for warranty repairs they never performed the required safety recall repair. I was told that they were still waiting on the software program from Chrysler. The dealership in which the Jeep was purchased was: turlock Chrysler Dodge/Jeep 1600 auto mall drive turlock, CA 95380 209/ 250-5800 purchase date: September 20, 2014 I was traveling westbound on briggsmore avenue doing 43 mph when I entered the intersection at rose avenue I was broadsided on my drive rside door by a lady who ran the red light doing approximately 40 mph causing me roll over a couple of times and spin out of control until I crashed head on (upside down) into a sound wall, then bounced off the wall and crashed again through the sound wall with the rear end of my vehicle finally coming to a stop, I was pinned in the vehicle, upside down and my right leg was pinned up under the dash. The drivers side curtain airbag deployed at impact, however none of the other airbags deployed causing me to fully impact my chest into the steering wheel, and smashed both of my knees into the knee bolster part of the dash, wedging my leg up underneath the dash.
