2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Airbags Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The air bag light comes on every now and then. It happened in my previous jeep and is happening in my dad's Chrysler Sebring car as well. I seen this problem with the airbag automatic deactivation when the warning light comes on in different vehicles but all from Chrysler motors.

Crash reported
WHILE BACKING UP VERY SLOWLY OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED FROM REVERSE INTO FORWARD. THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED ITSELF AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE WALL OF MY GARAGE, CLIMBED OVER THE CEMENT FOUNDATION, AND THEN THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. MY FOOT WAS OFF OF THE PEDALS AS I WAS THROWN AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. THE ONLY REASON THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED AS IT DROVE ITSELF OVER THE CEMENT FOUNDATION OF THE GARAGE. THE CAR WAS DECLARED TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
