Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2002 Jeep Liberty

On a drive home from my mother's house, I had come to a complete stop waiting to make a left turn on a residential road when I heard a clicking sound. Then my seat belt tightened on its own and immediately after that the driver's side air bag deployed. Fortunately I was uninjured with the exception of a slight burn on my forearm.

I was driving down the road when my passenger side airbag went off. Approximately 10 seconds later my driver side airbag also went off. I was driving about 35 miles an hour down a city street, going straight, and there were no bumps in the road. I was able to pull over into a parking lot and shut the vehicle off. I had previously taken my vehicle in to the Chrysler dealership in lakeland florida where I lived until recently attempting to have the recall fixed and was told they did not have parts and couldn't get them. They said they would call me if they became available. They never called and now I had the airbags deploy while driving.

While driving down the road my passenger side airbag deployed, followed about 10 seconds later by my drivers side airbag. I was travelling about 35 mph on a city street at a steady speed and hit no bumps. I was able to pull my vehicle over to the side of the road. I contacted Jeep to get them to repair my vehicle and they started a case (#30180485) on sept 24, 2016. I did not hear from Jeep again until 10/24/2016 when we received a letter informing us that this was not their responsibility. Since the recall r06 states that the airbag could deploy if not fixed, and I took it to a Chrysler service center to have this recall done and was told they did not have a fix for this recall but would contact me when one became available. I was never contacted again by Jeep letting me know the repair was available. I do not understand why they refuse to fix the vehicle. I am not looking for this as a warranty repair, but it should be their responsibility based on the failure to fix the recall when I took it to them. Also, since the airbags deployed it did damage to the dash and steering wheel of the Jeep which will need repairs also. I don't understand why I should be responsible for this expense, and why Jeep is failing to handle this.

On February 16, 2005 while traveling eastbound I-80 in salt lake city I hit some black ice and lost control of my 2002 Jeep Liberty. I was traveling freeway speeds and had a front impact along with a driver side rollover and a slide of approximately 100 yards. All of the emergency personnel that responded to my accident voiced shock and concern that none of the airbags deployed. Further, I have heard that if the g-force was not great enough to deploy the side airbags, the Jeep should not have rolled (I have no idea if that is true). I had, and still have, serious concerns about why my airbags did not deploy and do not trust that in the event of another accident they would deploy, regardless of the severity. I contacted Jeep and asked them to look into it. They did do some investigation. However, I was told that because my Jeep was not preserved for their inspection there was nothing they could do. I have sent them several e-mails explaining that I do have photo that document the damage and show that the airbag did not deploy. They have just disregarded my complaints. I also have concerns about the ease in which my Jeep rolled over. This concern has also been dismissed. I would like to know that my family is going to be safe if anther unfortunate accident occurs.

A Jeep Liberty with "side impact" air bags was in a collision. The collision was serious enough to "total" the car and the side impact airbag did not deploy. An independent investigator for "Chrysler" performed an inspection, Chrysler stated to myself in a letter to answer my concerns that the air bag was operational. However, when my body shop guy had to tear down the car further for insurance purposes he noticed that it wasn't even attached.
