On may 28th, 2018, I was driving my 2003 Jeep Liberty to see a friend. I had just gotten off the highway when my driver side airbag deployed spontaneously. Fortunately I was only going 10 mph and did not suffer major injuries, but I was cut up and concussed from the force of the airbag. I had my car towed to atlantic Jeep Chrysler in egg harbor twp NJ. They told me I would be given a rental car and an investigation would need to be done. I waited 6 weeks to get my car back, as they kept pushing me when the investigation would finish. During this time I was ubering to my two jobs, as they need provided a rental car. They said Chrysler would cover the rental once I got my car back and to provide receipts. Seeing how this company operates, I knew this would not be the case. They eventually decided to do nothing about my car. It was a tiny chip that made the airbag deploy (they admitted it was an issue) but that they would only replace the chip. I was left with 2. 4k in repairs to my car. They refused to pay for anything, even though it was their chip failure that made the airbag go off in the first place.

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 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.
