The contact owned a?2021 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a corner, another vehicle was speeding and crashed into the front driver's side quarter panel.

While driving multiple warnings appears on the dash including bus communication, airbag, transmission communication, and abs. The vehicles engine began to randomly change rpm. The transmission began to shift speratically and was unable to maintain speed. The vehicle would not allow me to turn on hazard lights to warn surrounding motorists. Similar warnings appeared on the dash once before and the vehicle would not start and left me stranded. When taken in for service for the no start issue, the dealer performed no repairs for this issue and stored P codes were cleared prior to the vehicle being returned to me. I am currently awaiting a service appointment for the issue that happened while driving.

Air bag sensor fails to properly sense a passenger in the passenger seat and the service airbag warning light cycles on and off. To keep it from cycling - one must disconnect the sensor. I have contacted the dealer to diagnose the problem. The condition occurred after starting the vehicle and occurs whether there is a passenger or not. It also occurs while the car is in run mode. Airbag will not function or may deploy with too much force

The failure of the vehicle-??s safety condition check for an empty driver-??s seat for an auto stop indicates that the -??Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)-?? and/or the -??Advanced Front Air Bag system-?? are not receiving proper information. This creates a serious safety hazard as the front air bags may not deploy or may not -??adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags-?? as specified in the owner-??s manual. For driver safety, these systems and their associated sensors should be fully examined and tested. The vehicle auto stops when the driver-??s seat is not occupied, in direct conflict with owner-??s manual. The owner-??s manual specifically states that if the -??Driver-??s seat is not occupied-?? that the -??engine will not stop.-?? Note that this system safety check is separate and distinct from the -??Driver-??s seat belt is not buckled-?? check. The vehicle fails to properly check for the empty driver-??s seat safety condition before initiating an auto stop. The associated auto stop malfunction was reproduced and confirmed by multiple service personnel at 2 Jeep dealerships, who expressed safety concerns. The malfunction was also recreated by 4 independent mechanic shops and documented as a safety concern. However, an FCA Technical Advisor (TA) claimed that the vehicle is -??operating as designed-??, despite the vehicle operating in violation of the owner-??s manual. I feel unsafe driving the vehicle, as this is one of numerous hardware / software malfunctions plaguing the vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
