I was driving my 2020 grand Cherokee limited 4x4 and it started to snow heavily so i was driving down this slight hill with a turn. I was not doing no more 15 miles per hour. My warning lights for service 4x4 and my traction control light where on. I then proceeded to slide and i could not stop and i slid into a utility pole then a tree. The air bags did not deploy.. I tried to back my vehicle up i had no traction or 4-wheel drive. A gentleman came out to help me and he had some older jeeps tried to move my vehicle and he stated i can't believe your 4x4 is not working. I believe due to failure of the 4x4 and traction control led to my accident. From what i read this is a known issue with jeeps there should be a recall. At this time i have not had the vehicle looked at because it has been in the autobody shop since the accident!

It was a clear day as I arrived at work. While pulling into a parking spot, the Jeep suddenly accelerated over a curb and into a tree. I was able to turn the wheel upon seeing the tree, which helped me avoid hitting other vehicles on the opposite side of the island. I had to depress the brakes multiple times before the vehicle finally stopped just short of another tree. During the incident, I was on a conference call. The attendees confirmed that there were no warning sounds from the vehicle—only the sound of the impact. Notably, the airbags did not deploy. The front driver-side area sustained extensive damage, causing the driver’s door to jam. Fortunately, I did not suffer any physical injuries. The vehicle was towed to an auto body repair shop. When connected to a scanner, no error codes were detected. Repairs took nearly five weeks. Although the front sensors were replaced, they still did not function properly. The shop consulted a technician who remoted in and advised them to replace all the sensors again and inspect the wiring. Although the vehicle has been repaired, I remain fearful of driving it. I’ve read similar reports on this board suggesting these issues may be related to the electrical system. I plan to contact the dealership to ask whether they have experience with such cases and if they can inspect the systems.

I was involved in a head on collision with a snow plow mounted to a ford f-250 where significant front end damage was done to the vehicle, and the airbags didn't deploy. There's no way possible these airbags should have not been deployed.
