1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 01/15/2021

The airbag light illuminated once in 2017. Then it went off and came back on 4 years later. On January 15, 2021 it came on about 20 times. And then all weekend. I was told by my dealer it was a sensor in the passenger seat. In this case the passenger side doesn't have a fully operational passenger side airbag. This is a huge safety concern, as someone could get hurt or possibly killed. The vehicle was in motion on all accounts on city streets.

Failure Date: 03/22/2018

I went to the Chrysler dealership to replace an orc module s61 that was recalled. They replaced the part but right as I was leaving the delearship, my airbag light came on. I called the dealership to let them know because I had to pick up my kids from the bus stop, she told me to bring it up during my oil change the next week. I did and they told me it wasn't their problem, the recall had nothing to do with the airbags, and quoted me at $600 for them to go through my car and check the wires. The service manager did tell me the obd 2 reading was b1c29-left side seat thorax squib 1 open and b1c2d- right side seat thorax squib 1 open; and advised me to unplug and plug all the connectors under the seat. I did this and nothing happened. I called them back and they said they couldn't do anything to fix it and it was my fault not theirs and I recieved the same $600 quote to fix it. I know it happened while they were working on it and I have found a couple of threads with people that had the same problem and they all said to make a complaint on here.

13 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 02/06/2018

My air bag light came on while driving. I took to Jeep delearship and was told that even after the repair, there is no guarantee that the airbag would deploy. They preformed the repair but the air bag light is still on. They said I would have to pay for some rewiring in the driver seat which would cost about $300. I am concerned that the airbag will just deploy spontaneously or not deploy in a collision. Will you please advise me what is suppose to happen after this recall and what I should expect. Thanks.

19 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 10/21/2016

While driving slowly (~10 mph) sb I prepared to make a right-turn (wb), in the only lane that turns right. As I neared the intersection the light turned green, enabling me and the (1) lane on my left to go (it goes sb). No car was ahead of me (to turn). The street I was turning onto had one (wb) lane, and two lanes (stopped), that go eb. Note: (may be relevant), I frequently down-shift (automatic) transmissions (using the "paddles" or "buttons", whatever's on the shift column), on all automatic trans. Cars I drive, when I slow down. I do this to save wear & tear on my brakes, when approaching stop-signs or red-lights. I down shift gradually, just like on a manual trans. When it's time to go, I hold the paddle in the "up-shift" mode, until I see "drive" on the trans. Indicator. In this accident, as the light turned green (the trans. Was in a low gear), I held the paddle in "up-shift" mode (note: I may have clicked the paddle 1 gear up before it went to "drive", I don't remember), and started the turn, barely pressing the accelerator. When I was appr. Halfway (45 degrees) into the turn (pointed swb at the opposite two lanes), I felt the engine "stagger" (like if you accidentally shift a manual trans. Into a high gear but you meant a low gear), and in a fraction of a second-the car rocketed ahead (I heard rpms) slamming me into the wb car(s) so fast, I didn't even make 90 degrees, nor could I brake (I tried). The 1st car impacted went backward (and to the right) hitting the car behind, and hit the car in the right lane. Note: 1. Jeep was totaled. 2. This accident was in dry weather, mid-morning @ intersection I drive nearly every day. 3. The airbag failed & I was briefly knocked-out w/some injuries. 4. This is not: " I hit the gas but meant the brake" case, I went from slow to rocket-ship. 5. I've been driving > 40 years w/o accident. 5. I'm a pilot w/good reflexes.
