A arm broke while I was driving causing me to hit a pole. Service stability control and abs light came on in dash right before I crashed. Garage where vehicle is located said it was the an arm that caused me to crash. Had taken it to 2 different dealerships both said they could find nothing wrong prior to accident. Jeep has 88,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable I'm Just glad one of my children was not driving at this time. Also my air bags did not deploy!

Airbag did not deploy

Filed Jan 26, 2021 · Airbags, Body · 16,600 miles · LA · crash · 2 injuries

My vehicle (2019 jeep grand cherokee) was only 1 1/2 years old and was involved in a head on collision. I was driving about 45mph when I was struck by 4-door chevy silverado (driver-to-driver collision) that was attempting to make a left turn on green, so only going about 3-5mph. The truck's steering wheel airbag deployed, but none of my jeep's did. My jeep's entire front area was crushed, and driver's side experienced extensive damage as well; resulting in my jeep being totaled. Everyone at the scene of the accident was shocked that my jeep's airbags did not deploy. As a result, I busted my head on the steering wheel, and 6 weeks later, I still have a knot on my forehead. I will never purchase a grand cherokee again! I am completely amazed there are zero recalls!
