D and the manual shift +/- indicator (all lit red) the transmission would not shift (out of what felt like 3rd gear) while driving down the freeway. A few times, the transmission would not shift out of neutral, and I could not get the car to move (after coming to a stop) on the off ramp and on the side streets.

Then it went off and on for the 20 mile ride home. Then it stayed on all the time. Called the car dealer and told them about my problem. Said that it was problem defective. Made an appointment for the jeep. Was told that the intermediate seat connector under the seat was bad. That the pins re making a poor connection. Had to buy a new harness.

I was making a left hand turn in my 2016 jeep cherokee when I was struck by another vehicle who was headed the towards me. I sustained major front end damage in a collision and the car was totaled, and none of my airbags deployed. The other vehicle a chrysler pacifica, sustained less front end damage and both of their airbags deployed. The impact was hard enough to spin my car completely around so I was facing the opposite way and ended up facing the same direction as the car that hit me.
The two front airbags did not deploy. We was hit into a cement divider on freeway while going 65to 70 MPH. Flipped rolled 5to6 times on all sides of car landed on the top and the front airbags did not deploy. Causing injury to driver and passenger
I was in a car wreck on nov 21st and hit my front end at 65 MPH. My seat belt did not tighten and my airbags did not deploy. The car I hit however had their front airbag deploy and I hit their rear end. *ln*jb VIN number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
My airbag lights just randomly came on and I didn't hit anything or nothing hit me and I just bought this car two months ago.
One day my airbag light came on for no reason. I didnt hit anything. No one hit me as far as I know.
For a little over a year my airbag light keeps coming on. The dealership continues to turn me away
My car, in 4x4 mode, lost control on an off-ramp and struck a concrete base to an interstate street light. Zero airbags went off despite me totaling the car and extensive damage done to the front end. The sheer force of the impact bruised my arm, blackened my eye and ripped my eyelid in half, injuring my right eye and sending me to the trauma unit for emergency surgery.
Vehicle was heading down a city street at approximately 40 MPH. Another car pulled into traffic in front of jeep and hit head on. The air bags failed to deploy. The car was totaled and the driver was severely injured.
Air bags did not deploy in front end collition. Shifter lever shows red indicator lights while driving in all gears neutral , reverse, drive, and park. Pulled off road turned off car then back on lights went away. This has happened three times under 30,000 miles. Dealership cannot find problem
Another car ran an intersection my daughter struck car in the side then she hit a telephone pole going approximately 40mph airbags did not deploy and over 75% of her front end received damage
Beginning about two month ago, I have been going back to the dealer for drive train related issues. The initial issue was a failed rear hub at around 25,000 miles which was found during an oil change. Next, the main drive shaft (propeller shaft) began making grinding noises as well as a wobble/thumping sound at highway speeds. The grinding sound was resolved but the wobble/thumping continued. The followup for that sound found failed half-shafts (both sides), failed rear differential, and failed transfer case/module. The car was returned to me without all repairs being completed due to lack of parts and "warranty not authorizing additional days of rental" the car then began to give failed parking brake service codes and check air bag system codes which supposedly are related now to a failed on board control module. When the most recent codes (today) were given the car would not shift into gear initially.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep cherokee. While stationary, another vehicle struck the driver side of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the head, shoulder, ribs, hand, and arms, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a collision repair center. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 10,000.
