2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee: airbags did not deploy in a crash

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Airbags · AR · crash

The vehicle left the highway at approximately 55 mph and went airborne across a deep drainage ditch impacting the embankment causing the vehicle to stop in short order. Airbags did not deploy. Front seat occupants hit the dash causing whiplash and abrasions to the driver and a broken back to the passenger. Airbag deployment would have mitigated injuries to both occupants. It is unbelievable that the airbags did not deploy!!!

Driver's seat - headrest burst apart, airbag did not deploy. No accident, clips somehow broke and headrest is separated with airbag and internal components visible. Not sure when this happened and/or if we were even in the car. Reporting today because we had other service performed on vehicle and asked automotive shop to look at headrest. I googled this and came across others who recommended reporting to you.

It was freezing outside, but not icy on the road. Well lit. I was not in a rush. Car was in excellent shape up until then. I was going ~10 pmh down the inside parking garage driveway. Had to pull to the right due to car coming up partially on my side. Scratched the side wall. Once that happened, the car accelerated out of control. Brakes didn't react. Only way to stop the car before running into other cars or even people was steering the car into the wall front on. The car finally stopped, the wall broke down. The airbags didn't go off, the brake assistance system didn't kick in. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but could have easily happened. The car is a total loss. I was not under the influence of drugs and don't have a seizure disorder. Witnessed every single second fully awake and aware.
