Started the vehicle and before we could put it in gear, the airbags in the back seat deployed. I contacted Jeep Customer Service and was given case # 93132151 and they had it towed to the nearest dealership for diagnosis. Then Jeep refused to pay the diagnostic fee and the dealership won’t do the diagnosis. Our fear is that the vehicle is unsafe to drive as the front airbags could now go off.

Driving the vehicle for a few mins and the seatbelt light and airbag lights will come on and message show service airbags soon. Will stay in for about 2 mins to 15mins. Does not occur everyday but would say once every two weeks.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT SEVERE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE BUT NONE OF THE MANY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I REAR ENDED A VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS JUST CONCERNED SINCE I AM UNAWARE WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING AT THE POINT OF IMPACT. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WAS PUSHED BACK TOWARD THE WINDSHEILD PRETTY FAR. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES. I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS. WE DID TEST THE CAR AND THERE APARENTLY NO FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM, SO MAYBE NO PROBLEM.

AT THE END OF LAST YEAR OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON I-95 IN CONNECTICUT. THE REPAIR SHOP DID NOT DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME I TOLD THEM THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THAT THERE WAS AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON. THEY DID NOT INSPECT THIS SYSTEM UNTIL I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I WAITED 3 DAYS FOR REPAIRS AND THEY DID NOT HAPPEN. SO I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO FLORIDA AND TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER HERE FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE MARCH AND STILL CANNOT GET THE REQUIRED REPAIR PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY WAY I CAN FORCE THEM TO COME UP WITH THE PARTS AND FIX MY VEHICLE. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM PAYING CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. AND A CAR THAT I HAD TO PURCHASE TO REPLACE THE ONE I CAN'T DRIVE. THE INSURER WILL NOT LET ME HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
