I was driving my Jeep on Sunday, [XXX] and the service airbag system light kept coming on periodically. When I took it to Szott dealership Service center in White Lake, Michigan. On my drive to the dealership the light never popped on. The service guy said it looked like it was the wiring under the driver's seat. I had to wait for a diagnostic tech to check it out. The tech confirmed it was a wiring issue under the driver's seat. The dealership said it is NOT covered under my extended warranty and it will cost $679 to repair. I realize I need to repair for safety issues. My question is an airbag is important safety feature and Jeep should be responsible and stand behind their product to ensure safety for their customers so, why should I have to pay out of pocket to repair a safety feature that should be functioning properly" I store my jeep in a garage. I have not been in an accident or in a flood...so why am I liable when it is a defective part or wiring" INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle (2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee) was only 1 1/2 years old and was involved in a head on collision. I was driving about 45mph when I was struck by 4-door Chevy Silverado (driver-to-driver collision) that was attempting to make a left turn on green, so only going about 3-5mph. The truck's steering wheel airbag deployed, but none of my Jeep's did. My Jeep's entire front area was crushed, and driver's side experienced extensive damage as well; resulting in my Jeep being totaled. Everyone at the scene of the accident was shocked that my Jeep's airbags did not deploy. As a result, I busted my head on the steering wheel, and 6 weeks later, I still have a knot on my forehead. I will never purchase a Grand Cherokee again! I am completely amazed there are zero recalls!

The airbags never deployed resulting in injuries to both the driver and more serious the passenger. The Jeep was accelerating from a dead stop to cross the intersection. The truck did not stop or slow down at the intersection.

This is in reference to an accident on 1/22/20 at approximately 5:45pm near pittsburgh, pa. I had an issue with the 'driver side' lower or 'foot' air bag, as it did not 'undeploy' or if it did, it is very bulky after doing so and because of that, it caused, in my opinion, additional and unnecessary damages to the other party's involved. Situation - immediately after the accident, I needed to apply the brakes and could not do so because the airbag was in the way of my feet reaching and pressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was still in drive and idling which, consequently led to me pushing the vehicle in front of me further than the actual spot of the accident and 'possibly' into the vehicles in front of her. I literally had to put the Jeep in 'neutral' and then press the 'power or on/off' button to shut the vehicle off and to keep it from continuing to push her car. Now... do I believe your vehicle saved my life absolutely! however, this airbag issue seems to be something that could have turned out horribly wrong had I not known how to shut the vehicle off without using the break. If I would have been unconscious, then in theory I L could have pushed the vehicle in front of me until what I was pushing via idling was too much weight for the low RPM's of idling to bear. Additional details - while exiting the highway, but still on the exit ramp, I was involved in a multi car (4) accident that I believe (as I did overhear conversations from the other drivers but being the 4th vehicle out of 4, I did not eyewitness this myself) may have been caused by an aggressive driver who cut off another driver in front of the 4 of us and this action inevitably caused the 4 of us behind him to slam on our brakes. Unfortunately, things happened so quickly that I was not able to avoid hitting the car in front of me.
