3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2019

The air bag dash light has recently come on, after the mechanic tried unsuccessfully to reset it the same error message pops up. When the computer is connected it shows the only airbag affected is the one in the steering wheel. This vehicle has never been in a crash, much less anything to cause the airbag to deploy so it is the original. It stays on consistently anytime the key is in the on/started position.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, she became distracted and ran a red light.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2018

Had a serious car accident last year and my Jeep was totaled and the air bags didn't go off.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2017

I was driving 45 in a 45 mph zone in the suburbs of mesa, az suddenly my Jeep Liberty pulled severely to right causing me to hit a 3 ft diameter poll. Air bag deployed as expected but the force of air bag blew a 8 inch hole in airbag and severely broke my chest cavity and abdomen causing spleen rupture and blood and toxins in my spinal fluid. My impression of airbags is to prevent injury not cause injury. Please investigate to prevent this from happening to other Jeep Liberty owners. Was in trauma medical center for 6 days and still home painfully healing. Steering and airbag may be defective. My Jeep was totaled. Have not received police or insurance report yet. Still waiting but needed to report hopefully to prevent others from possible injury.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2016

I have a Jeep Liberty with 40,000 miles on it that has safety issues. We bought the car new as a small SUV for our family and it has been a complete piece of junk. The anniversary package that we bought is a joke. The fake leather seat have completely deteriorated which we overlooked but now the car is having safety issues. The air bag system is a joke and the failed module is no longer covered under the manufacturers warranty nor the extended warranty that the stealership sold to us. I will never ever purchase another Dodge , Chrysler or Jeep product as they are very unreliable vehicles as well as my experiences with 4 different dealerships has been beyond horrible. They even lied to us about changing our oil in the car and offered a free oil change to compensate for the lie. What a joke they did not even change our oil and said they did. I have been working with cars for 20 years so I know a few tricks of the trade and I always do things to be assured that the said work is being performed. I can not believe that a car with 40,000 miles on it needs a new module that is recalled for the same year as my Jeep but mine is not included in the recall, how horrible is that. I will never say anything good about these cars nor will I ever refer anyone I know to purchase such a piece of crap.
