2011 Jeep Patriot Seat belts Problems

No dash lights, in my way to work someone cut into my(crossed solid line) lane and my vehicle hit the rear end of the vehicle that cut into my lane. Going around 55 and wearing my seatbelt, slammed on the breaks, couldn't go around without flipping my car so we collided. The front end of my car was completely destroyed and the airbags did not deploy. I am this cars second owner after my father bought it new & if he knew it would almost kill his daughter in 12 years he never would have bought it. It had no accident history and had been told the recall was fixed when it very obviously was not. We had a rep from Chrysler come and pull the crash data, and he tried to tell me there was no reason for the airbags to go off. The entire front of my car was crushed, there is no possible way they should not have triggered for the severity of the accident I was in. I smashed my head so hard on the steering wheel that I blacked out, broke my eye socket and suffered a severe concussion. I have photos/accident reports and Chrysler has the data from my car. I also think my dad has a copy of this data. I'm so so lucky I didn't die, this is absolutely a defective airbag component and something absolutely needs to be done. It's so incredibly dangerous and at this point with all of the similar incidents it would be neglectful not to open an investigation as people have died as a result of this defect.

The driver side seatbelt is buckled and will release without the release button being pressed. This has happened on several occasions. When a driver can not count on the support and protection of their seatbelt their life is at greater risk every time they get behind the wheel.

I AM MAKING A COMPLIANT TO YOUR COMPANY ABOUT MY AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSION. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2017 AND WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHERE TO GET THE RECALL ISSUE HANDLED. WHILE ONLINE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO CORRECT MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT IN. I APPLIED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL TO INFORM ME OF WHEN THE PART(S) NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE IN. I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER SINCE 7/24/17 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING ON GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED. MY FEELINGS OF SAFETY OR CONSTANTLY BEEN TESTED AS I HAVE TO TRAVEL DAILY AND THIS IS MY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT 6 MONTHS HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. YOUR COMPANY HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND NO UPDATES HAVE BEEN EMAILED OR SENT TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT FOR SOME REASON I HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. I AM STILL AWAITING THE PARTS NEEDED WITH A LIST OF AVAILABLE DATES TO GET SERVICED IN MY COMMUNITY. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT YOU AS A COMPANY HAS NEGLECTED TO FULFILL YOUR DUTY AND PROVIDE ME WITH THE SAFETY MEASURES DESERVING OF A CONSUMER.

I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT MY PATRIOT WAS UNDER A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. I FINALLY WAS PUT INTO A RENTAL THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ( I HAD TO PAY THE FIRST WEEK BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT AT FIRST) AND AS OF NOW MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AND BRAND NEW TIRES. THERE IS NO FIX AND I HAVE BEEN IN A RENTAL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. I FEEL THIS RECALL IS BIGGER THEN THEY ARE LEADING ON AND THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A FIX. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CARE FOR OVER THREE YEARS WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM NOT WORKING TERRIFIES ME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. I AM AT A LOSS OF WORDS. SIDE NOT: MY DRIVERS AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS WAS BEFORE THE RECALL AND IF I DID NOT PURCHASE A WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR
