48 Air Bag problem of the 2011 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 04/26/2021

49 Air Bag problem of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 03/10/2021

The active head restraint on the passenger side spontaneously deployed while parked. There was no impact leading up to this event. The head restraint appears to have failed due to a faulty plastic clip that split in half. The head restraint is at the height of my passenger's head and, if they had been seated in the chair, the deployed headrest would have hit them at the base of the skull or delivered a blow to the left or right cheekbone and eye. I took the vehicle to my nearest Jeep dealership (rhythm Jeep in madison, TN) and they confirmed that the clip holding the release pin in place spontaneously failed. They documented the damage and ordered a new headrest which has not yet been fulfilled (a 9-month wait so far). There were no warning signals or any other indication that the head restraint would fail. Our concern is that the driver's side head restraint will also fail and cause the driver to crash the vehicle or suffer head and neck injury.

50 Air Bag problem of the 2010 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

Sometimes when I turn my steering wheel the air bag light turns on. It does not always stay on and only comes on occasionally, usually when I make a turn. I got the diagnostics tan and the error code b1b02 driver airbag squib 1 circuit open. There was recently a couple of recalls (s61 occupant restraint controller and n01 reprogram occupant control restraint module) for my 2010 Jeep Patriot. I believe this issue with the error code I’m receiving is related to the recall issue, especially since the light does not stay on consistently.

Hello . My wife was involved in car accident . She was in her 2016 Jeep Patriot. Which the accident was pretty big. Which caused airbags to deploy.

My airbag light on the dash board comes on and will not go away. I have had it twice reset and it does not go away.

When I returned to the driver's seat, I noticed my headrest had popped open. I looked it up on my phone and discovered that the active head restraint (ahr) had been activated. Due to safety concerns, I drove straight home and didn't drive the vehicle again until I took it to the dealership on Monday night. The incident happened on Saturday. I am thankful this didn't happen while I was driving - it could have been a very dangerous situation.

57 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 07/29/2020

My malfunctioning Jeep Patriot experienced sudden unexpected acceleration which resulted in a totaled car, 2 damaged buildings, and a fca letter stonewalling and washing their hands of. This accident came within a whisker of taking our lives. Accident happened as I descended our driveway to our house. Deep skid tire marks in gravel they chose to ignore. Their "investigation" was very very shallow. I have a detailed description of all that happened that day and police report which I can fax to you. I am a very angry and frustrated veteran I need you.

60 Air Bag problem of the 2012 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 11/06/2019

My 2012 Jeep Patriot 4wd 2. 4l is around 106,000 miles. About 2 months ago, I was pumping gas and I noticed it was only pumping about 75 cents at a time before stopping. I thought it was a faulty pump but soon began to realize it happened everywhere! my check engine light also comes every now and then, warning me that the catalytic converter is faulty. So I found the recalls for both of these problems which include 2012 Patriots, yet they say my car is not covered by the recall. Seriously? the only recall that is covered for my car is 16v-668 which is the occupant restraint. Why are the other problems that are popping up with everyone not covered?.
