1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2016 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

Seatbelt connector and sensor issues. Intermittently seatbelt, airbag and parking brake senor keeps going off and will not stop while driving. I feel unsafe to drive my car while all these senor are going off. I fear the seatbelt, air bag and parking bake will malfunction while I'm driving.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 07/13/2018

While driving the vehicle down a city street, with parked cars on either side (at approximately 18 miles per hour) and in a nearly straight line, all of the airbags deployed causing severe injury to the driver which required multiple surgeries. Black box data shows a roll over incident from one of the sensors. The vehicle did not roll over, nor did it hit a curb, the vehicle is in pristine condition except for the deployed airbags which deployed spontaneously. It is believed that this occurred due to either programming error (as has happened in the recalled Jeep grand cherokees) or a defective sensor from the factory. Fca USA was put on notice of this incident and, to date, has taken no steps to view the vehicle which we have preserved.

3 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2015 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 06/02/2016

The passenger seat will not always activate the airbag sensor when a person is seated, it will activate when a lunch bag is placed on it. The seat belt alarm on the passenger front seat does not always work. The vehicle under normal speeds have been alerting that the vehicle is overheating and slows down attempting to shut the engine off causing the danger of a crash to possibly happen. The dealership is unable to replicate any of the issues described, and has stated that the passenger must gain weight to activate the sensor.
