41 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2018

Tamara recall. I was hit by a drunk driver at highway speed here in texas on 12/7/2018. Air bags didn't deploy in my 2016 Jeep jku. All air bags deployed in the drunk drivers vehicle. She walked away and I was taken to the hospital. If my airbags had deployed from such a hard impact I might have walked away like the drunk driver. So much for having airbags if they don't work. Both vehicles had to be towed away from the scene due to extent of damages.

45 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2017

On January 30, 2017 another vehicle pulled out in front of me and stopped. I hit that vehicle with my 2016 Jeep Wrangler at about 30-35mph. The impact totaled both vehicles. My Jeep's frame was buckled and twisted all of the way to the rear bumper. The rear body mount bolt were even bent. The airbags didn't deploy and the seat belts didn't pretension. I hit the dash with both knees and got abdominal muscle injuries as well as severe whiplash. I am still under a doctor's care for my injuries including a pinched nerve between c5-c6. Fca opened an investigation and sent me a letter stating that "the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag and air bag system was not present during this accident". The impact buckled my frame and totaled a 5 month old vehicle, but fca wants me to believe that it wasn't severe enough for the air bags to deploy. Fca is either being deceptive or their vehicles are simply unsafe. Either way, due to their deceptive actions, it is impossible to know how many accidents are truly related to this vehicle defect. I found out about the recall (s76) the week after my accident when I filed a complaint with fca. My vehicle was in the dealership for its first oil change two weeks after this recall was issued, but it wasn't repaired and I wasn't informed of a recall. I received my recall notice today, 74 days after my accident. I have the police report, pictures of the Jeep and the frame, the insurance adjuster's cell phone number as well as all correspondence with fca, should you want it.

Our 2 week old 2016 Jeep Wrangler willys was in a solo collision in July 2016. My partner hit water, hydroplaned, and then hit a guardrail with the front end at 50+ mph on a 4 lane highway. She went airborne, flipped several times and was ejected from the vehicle. The seats came out and roll bars failed, but the airbags also never went off despite the initial impact. We do not know if she was wearing her seatbelt. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, collapsed lung, shattered pelvis, broken back, broken hip, broken eye socket, compound fracture of her ankle, broken tailbone, multiple deep lacerations and was in icu for weeks. The airbags never went off!.
