47 Air Bag problem of the 2003 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 02/13/2019

Recall r06: the air bag on my 2003 Jeep deployed on my daughter while driving on the highway. The air bag hit her in the chest and face. I called the Jeep customer line to let them know what happened and they said there was a recall for the airbag. I informed them that I never received a recall for the airbag. They told me the recall was from 1/2015. In 2015 I took my Jeep to the dealership 2 different times for recalls I had received. July 2015 and September 2015. So even if I didn't get a recall notice the dealership still should have seen the airbag recall wasn't done. I have been going threw hell trying to get the fca group to fix the airbag and do the recall. This is the response they emailed my after I told them what had happened (this will further acknowledge contact to fiat Chrysler automobiles (fca), regarding your 2003 Jeep Liberty. Naturally, we were sorry to learn of the incident described to us during the initial contact. However, we have had the opportunity to review your case and must inform you that we are not led to believe that the incident was due to a manufacturing responsibility. ) this was unacceptable my daughter could have crashed the Jeep and died!! why would I lie about not get a recall notice that involves an airbag in 2015 but I had 3 other recalls done in 2015 after the airbag recall but no one noticed it wasn't done!!!.

54 Air Bag problem of the 2003 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 08/14/2018

On 8-15-2018, I (driver/owner of a 2003 Jeep Liberty sport) was leaving my parking spot at a convenience store. When I put the vehicle in reverse, it immediately started speeding backwards. When I applied the brakes with all the force I could muster, it failed to stop the vehicle. The tires were squealing & black tire marks were left on the pavement. My vehicle stopped when I slammed into the front end of a parked car which was next to a gas pump with the driver inside. Fortunately nobody was hurt. No police report was filed but my insurance company was called immediately to report it. "takata recall" I went to the local Jeep dealership (bluebonnet Jeep in new braunfels,TX. ) with the recall notice in hand. The employee in the drive-up service lane called the office to verify if part was in stock. It was not. She made an appointment for 2 weeks from that date. I returned with my vehicle on my scheduled appointment date & was notified by a different employee that part(s) were still not available & was told that an individual needed to inspect my vehicle first but he didn't know when the inspector would be available to do it. I told that employee that they weren't serious about replacing the part(s) needed. So I got back in my car & drove home.

59 Air Bag problem of the 2010 Jeep Liberty

Failure Date: 04/05/2018

Takata recall - my vehicle is 8 years old. A lot of problems have started to happen two years ago which I have paid out of my pocket considering it as age maintenance. Two years ago I was not going to pay dealer $800 cost to fix my front door locks that don't go up or down. I just do it the old fashion way. Recently my passenger front door has added the problem of the window button not working, which is a possible life safety of a person who could be forced to escape that way. Takata recall - now!!! starting in mid April 2018 my dashboard dinged showing picture of what looks like driver airbag circle and driver in a seatbelt. It went away a minute later. It then started happening sparatically twice a week maybe. In may 2018, it became every drive off and on the airbag icon showed up and would ding about five times during the day drive staying lit at 2 minutes most approximately. Now June 2018, it has become an automatic of light dings on and then off several times during a drive that could range from 5minutes to 20 minutes. I started to observe that it happens when I turn the steering wheel only slightly right, but now the last week it has happened when steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. I am now truly in fear of my bag exploding while I drive and/or it will not go off to help my injury I'm involved in crash. I have read the htsa sight of recall and complaints and another owner's story is a match similar to mine. . . . They are complaint NHTSA id number: 10986169. I have to go to the dealer this week for an appt for yet another problem with my vehicle and have to ask them to look at the airbag issue. . . . . . I believe no matter what the manufacturers should pay for fixing any airbag problem a customer comes in with!!! it should not be put as a burden on the owner and a true hardship to me because I have to borrow money to fix possibly.

Need orc module replaced due to a recall t56. Ran my VIN number and it states there is a recall and parts are available. Went to dealership and they state there is no parts available for my Jeep and will not be available until April 2018. Why is NHTSA stating there is a part available? I was told with this recall there is 14 different parts and my part cskdt562aa was not available. So am I going to have to risk driving my Jeep and pray I do not have a wreck? I have had a cervical fusion and very afraid to drive my only vehicle. Someone needs to step up and do something even if it takes loaning me another vehicle.
