What owners say
Airbags did not deploy during MVA to passenger side front door that resulted in totaling of the vehicle
Airbags didn't deploy when I was hit by another driver whose speed was greater than 35mph n the other driver didn't break or slow down when hitting me on the driver n left passenger doors. I requested for my insurance company to preserve the vehicle for inspection but I don't know how long they can hold it because it was determined a TOTAL LOSS. When I was hit NONE of my airbags deployed n because of that, left side of my head n shoulder were slammed into driver's door. The vehicle was inspected by my insurance n a certified mechanic n due to impact n location of damage done to vehicle, both parties determined vehicle was TOTAL LOSS n couldn't b repaired. There were no warnings lamps or ANY messages n other symptoms of the problem prior to deployment failure.

On Monday January 24, 2022 I was hit by a pickup truck and my steering wheel airbag did not deploy or inflate hardly at all. From inside and around that airbag it was what looked like smoke and it burned my coat and parts of my body. I also hit my nose and face on the steering wheel.
This particular year and model of jeep has 2 recalls not registered to my VIN number related to my accident. Airbags- impact and acceleration sensors. Steering- steering rack gear. Tonight while driving my jeep to my local walmart, my steering completely quit and locked up on me causing me to go off the road, hit a speed limit sign, almost roll my vehicle, and cause possible irreparable damage that may total my vehicle all together. The impact was hard enough to cave in my whole front passenger side fender, rip my mirror completely off, dent both passenger doors deeply, bend my door frames, and almost completely tore off my rear fender. During this, my air bags did not deploy, and I know the accident was bad enough that they should have. This could have been life threatening, and could have ended entirely worse than what it did. My power steering pump seems to be working fine, but my jeep itself is still registering it as a power steering issue, which makes me believe that there are significant electrical issues with the jeep itself.
Coming up on red light I attempted to brake and slow down. Pedal went to the floor and vehicle did not slow. Airbags did not deploy. Previous warning of airbag system issue was reported to hertz. Airbag light was not on before accident.
Tl* the contact owned a 2019 jeep cherokee latitude. The contact stated that while driving on a damp road at 45 MPH, the vehicle independently went into park which caused the wheels to lock as several unknown warning lights appeared on the instrument panel. Due to the contact losing control of the vehicle, the vehicle slid off the side of road and hit several metal poles located in a farm yard. Once the vehicle came to a halt, the contact shut off the vehicle and discovered that the front driver side tire had detached from the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. A police report was not filed and no injuries as were reported. The contact was able to change the driver side tire with a spare and drove the vehicle home. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where insurance deemed the vehicle a total loss. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was unavailable at the time of the complaint. *dt
Car was totaled other driver was a dui front passenger lower air bag did not deploy.
Jeep does not accelerate properly. Still has other issues stated in other complaint; grinding, lurching. This car is a fail. Filed a lemon claim that was ignored and am about to re file for all the other problems occurring. I can't use cruise control because the rpms get waaay too high for me to trust. The hills between payson az and show low az are too much for the computer to manage, I'm worried the engine will blow. Air bags did not deploy when I was rear ended. Now I know why. They are recalled. This is a death trap I am paying 32k for, and I am livid. I will never buy jeep again.
