I was in a t-bone accident involving my 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. The accident was severe enough to yield the vehicle undrivable and insurance has tentatively declared it a total loss (claim not yet finalized). I had a passenger in the front seat at the time of the accident and we were both surprised that no airbags were deployed in the accident. We were wearing seatbelts and fortunately the only injuries sustained were bruising, but without seatbelts injuries would have been far worse. The Jeep was purchased with approximately 25K miles on the odometer, had only one previous owner, and had no record of accidents, damage, deployed airbags, or recalls. At time of the accident, the odometer had around 54K miles, there were no warning lamps or messages, had still not been in any prior accidents, had been regularly maintained, and exhibited no symptoms or problems. Photos of damage attached.

I made a right hand turn and my vehicle just stopped. Engine was still on but just quit moving I pressed the gas but no response. I turned the ignition of and back on and it started but then an service air bag warning came up on the dash. I can't believe an air bag warning would make the vehicle stop in traffic with no warning and no control.

While driving the vehicle down a city street, with parked cars on either side (at approximately 18 miles per hour) and in a nearly straight line, all of the airbags deployed causing severe injury to the driver which required multiple surgeries. Black box data shows a roll over incident from one of the sensors. The vehicle did not roll over, nor did it hit a curb, the vehicle is in pristine condition except for the deployed airbags which deployed spontaneously. It is believed that this occurred due to either programming error (as has happened in the recalled jeep grand cherokees) or a defective sensor from the factory. Fca USA was put on notice of this incident and, to date, has taken no steps to view the vehicle which we have preserved. *dt *dt *dt *dt*jb *tr*dt*jb*dt*dt*dt *js *js *dl*dt*dt *tp
