Was in a car accident in which my jeep wrangler sport rolled twice and the front end is smashed. The car adjustors reviewed it as totalled out. The driver, I was the driver, airbags did not deploy. I'm highly concerned with this considering the damage to the vehicle and the wreck happening at a speed of over 50 mph.

Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Early may 2019 my jeep's steering wheel controls started malfunctioning and now completely not working. The horn stopped working, radio and hands free controls on the steering wheel. I can not use my dash screen at all and it's just showing '- - '. I could not use my horn on may10th and was cut off and as a result was in an accident. The front end was significantly damaged and the airbags didn't deploy and I busted my face on the steering wheel and hit head on windshield. Diagnostic scan said there was 0 codes prior to accident and that triggered me to do research on the clock spring recall but my VIN is not under it???
Takata recall we got the noticed about the recall. How it could be life threatening. What I don't understand is how a recall can be put out like that and the parts are not available. We took our jeep to the local dealership was told part had to be ordered. Little over a month and the part still wasn't in. Needless to say our jeep was in a wreck. Now my husband has nightmares because we were heading for a median wall straight on. Some how he got the wheel turned just enough so we hit the corner of the bumper. Thank god the air bags didn't deploy as I could have been badly hurt or died. I don't understand why getting parts takes so long. Someone needs to be held accountable when it is the matter of life and death. I have been in touch with jeep and they wanted to know where our jeep was so they could look at it. Why does that matter?! It doesn't change the fact that it takes so long to get parts. Please understand this is my whole reason in writing you. Consumers should not have to wait for parts especially when that part is in a vehicle. The date below is the date of our accident.
