1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2011 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 12/18/2020

I believe a few years back there was a recall on the airbag sensor going off. I had the sensor checked, and was told the recall was addressed and cleared. My sensor is now going off again. Is it possible to have it repaired again until the previous recall?.

5 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 06/20/2017

In September of 2016 Jeep discovered a serious, possibly fatal risk potential associated with a sensor involved in restraining seat belts and deploying air bags "under certain impact conditions". As an owner, I was not apprised of this risk until June 20, 2017. Then, when I inquired about the availability of a repair to correct this lemon I was "informed", "advised" there was no repair available and such repair(s) may not be available for six months. I was given a vague estimate, and vague "assurance" I would be apprised of repair availability when ready. I asked, "should I bee driving this flaw?" they had no specific guidance. Seriously? accordinfly, I am invoking "lemon law" and demanding full liquidation of my existing auto loan at Jeep's expense. If they do not oblige, I shall seek civil suit damages by jury trial for added emotional pain and suffering coupled with their failure to fully-disclose potential fatal flaw for over six months to Jeep owners. I expect the NHTSA to manage this claim. Period. What a mess. What country is this? is anyone watching and protecting consumers? I expect the NHTSA to force Jeep to immediately undertake a full buyback program no later than July 1, 2017. Period.
