Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

Two problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2017

Someone in a 3/4 ton work van ran through a stop light and plowed in to the right passenger front / side of my Jeep while I was making a left hand turn we were on the city streets. . The impact was so great that while making the left turn and being hit so hard my wife and I went through a pizza shop head on. None of the 8 air bags in my Jeep went off. There is a recall for the Jeeps air bags for which I did get a hold of the dealership and they told me that the recall is still open and no they do not have a fix at this time. Now reading the Jeeps factory user guide the air bags should have gone off. The Jeep does have seat-mounted side air bags and from reading the factory user guide it states that this vehicle may be equipped with supplemental seat-mounted side air bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. If the air bags would have gone off my wife wouldn't have got so hurt. She now has a right cervical strain, lumbar contusion, and a right clavicle fracture. Also with the head on collision into the building the front air bags should have gone off they did not.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

"takata recall" I believe my son died in a crash caused by a faulty takata airbag. My son hit a tree while seat belted in and had no bodily injuries except for a scratch on his leg. I believe that the side air deployed sending a sharp metal object under his left arm severing his artery, which caused him to bleed out and died. There was no other cause for his artery to be severed, except for the airbag causing a piece of metal to sever his artery.
