In June 2025, I brought my vehicle to the dealership (Hendricks Chrysler Dodge Birmingham, AL) for a full diagnostic inspection, and at that time I was told everything was fine. There were no warnings, no notes about electrical issues, airbags, coolant leaks, engine leaks, or any of the major concerns now being reported. On my most recent visit (October 2025), the dealership suddenly reported multiple “Immediate Attention” failures, including: • Airbag system issues • Electrical system failure • Coolant system leak • Water pump leak • Engine oil separator leak These items were never mentioned during my previous full diagnostic despite being safety-related components that typically show symptoms or codes. Because these new issues involve critical components like the airbags, engine, and electrical system, my safety was put at risk. I have been driving the vehicle daily under the belief that it had passed a full diagnostic months earlier. If these problems really existed at that time, then I was unknowingly operating an unsafe vehicle. If they did NOT exist, then the sudden appearance of multiple major failures raises concerns about incorrect diagnostics or improper prior inspection. I have not received any warning lights except the airbag light. The dealership has not provided a clear explanation as to how these issues appeared only months after a full inspection. This has caused significant concern regarding vehicle safety, diagnostic reliability, and whether the previous inspection was performed correctly. I am requesting the federal safety agency review because the dealership failed to identify or disclose major safety-related failures, which has potentially placed me in danger without any warning.

What 2021 Jeep Wrangler owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My husband was turning left from one highway to another highway when a car who was trying to pass multiple vehicles behind us hit us on drivers side as we were turning causing my 2021 Jeep to be pushed completely off the road and into a ditch where we hit a large pole/electrical pole. We hit the pole so hard that it moved it. Our air bags did not deploy at all. I got a notification on my Jeep app stating that there was airbag failure. My husband and my body were shook pretty bad from the incident and could have been seriously injured due to the impact. Our Jeep was towed to the body shop and they stated the gentleman working there told my husband that our airbags should have deployed.
Started my jeep this morning and the indicator light for my airbag came on saying it needed service.
Air bags never deployed when I was struck by a vehicle going 55 mph.
High impact six car pile up, vehicle at a complete stop and hit at a high rate of speed. Front passenger side front impact as well as rear impact, no airbags deployed.
I was involved in a car accident I was hit on the driver back side vehicle Jeep rolled over several times no airbags deployed
In front collision seatbelt did not properly lock from shoulder attachment, causing driver to smack their face on the steering wheel. Also, airbags did not deploy.
Had an auto accident was going between 30-40 miles and the airbag did not deploy. I hit my breast and abdomen against the wheel and have multiple bruises and bruised ribs. I feel that if the airbag would have worked properly I would not have these types of injuries.
The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle independently accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the rear of a vehicle parked on the street. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 930.
A car came into my son's lane. To avoid a head on collision, he veered right and went head on with a guardrail. Air bags did not deploy and the seatbelt did not lock. He was on hwy 1090. We find out tomorrow if the jeep will be totaled because it has frame damage. The jeep dealership that has the jeep right now could not tell us why the air bags did not deploy and the seat belt did nothing lock.*dt*jb
