1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2026

I had a service airbag warning go off days prior which was then followed by my parking brake warning and a constant seatbelt warning chime that happened concurrently. The vehicle had these issues cleared by my mechanic but hasn't been able to be resolved. From what I understand, the seatbelt sensor is faulty and should I have an accident in the near future the airbags will not deploy.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2025

I had a service airbag, service parking brake and the seatbelt light starts flashing. It happens every time I drive the vehicle and I had it looked at by a mechanic and they see no issue with the sensors. They told me to check for any recalls and I don’t see any here.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2023

The air bag light comes on and the power steering goes out, and the ignition wont turn off , when it comes on. Have to take the battery cable off. Start it back up and it may stay off a few days and comes back on. Too scared to drive it.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2022

This has occurred ever since I’ve bought my car, and not every time. When car is at a slight incline and at a stop, it will not accelerate. Gas cap broke off for no reason. Dealership rep said that’s happened to someone else too. Chip for airbag sensors are not available.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2020

My 2016 Jeep Renegade was involved in an accident October 4th, vehicle totaled but no airbags deployed even though the Renegade was on and there was a passenger (buckled in) in the vehicle. Had fca run their �investigation� though they will not share the results of which with me even though I've asked. Their response �your request for our inspection report is proprietary, paid for by us, belongs to us, and therefore, unavailable for distribution. If you disagree with our handling, you certainly have the right to hire your owner inspector, at your expense, to examine the vehicle . We have closed the file regarding this matter. � both my insurance adjuster and body shop (who asked for the investigation) stated that based on the impact (crushed rear and driver side) should have set off the airbags though they didn't and the passenger was injured, why won't they share the report?.

Failure Date: 07/24/2020

My computer had started to glitch within less than 100 miles of me buying the car I was told it was because the oil was low now I have a service engine light and within a day my car has lit up like a christmas tree with every light power steering has gone and I've already gotten an accident worth almost the whole car -1 grand so it was not totaled nor can anybody explain why my car did this and I got the blame for it when I have no control over this car this needs to be recalled this happened to me on the highway and side roads I have no e break and I cannot steer my wheel nor do I know if the airbags are even going to work because I got an a $10,000 accident and they did not go off.

Car looses power steering and power and does not shut off and air bags are not on while driving.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2019

I turned on my Jeep Renegade with the automatic start button in like 30� weather. I drove it down the highway for about 10 minutes and the service engine light turned on. I also had the air bag, brake warning sign turn on. I stopped to put gas and just the service engine light stayed on. I had a diagnostic test done with code p0128- thermostat failure. Had to have it replaced in canada since I am on a temporary work permit. So it cost me an arm and a leg for service. Checked online and many people have had the same problem.

The vehicle has a recurring malfunction with the driver side seat electrical wiring assembly. The problem occurs intermittently after the seatbelt is properly secured and there is normal body movement in the driver seat while the vehicle is either in motion or stationary. The problem so far affects several of the electronic subsystems connected to the vehicle's driver seat. This malfunction has caused temporary or permanent disabling of the driver seat power controls, airbag system, electronic parking brake system and seatbelt warning system.
