I had a head on crash with a cement divider on Dec 24th 2002. The Liberty was a total loss and I received a head, neck and back injury. The airbags did not deploy even though I was traveling 65 mph when the crash accorded. Chrysler was contacted and took no responsibility for the airbags. They stated the threshold for the sensors were not met and if they had, I could have been hurt worse. They said airbags deploy at 200 mph and can cause injuries worse than the crash.

Upon making a slight lane correction at approx. 60 mph, my daughter's 2002 Jeep libety began swerving uncontrollably. She felt no resistance to the steering wheel as she tried to stop the swerving. At no time did she apply the brakes. Witnesses said it appeared she had a flat tire. Eventually, the vehicle entered the grass median and rolled 2.5 or 3.5 times coming to rest on the roof facing on-coming traffic. The complete rear end(tires and differential) separated and ended up approx. 75 feet from the vehicle. The right front axle or cv joint was broken. Neither her passenger or her air bags deployed. The driver's seat belt was broken at the end of the motion of the rolling. Both occupants were bruised and cut. We believe the axle failed and caused this potentially fatal accident. This vehicle had approx. 3000 miles on it. At 1800 miles the engine had thrown a rod and the engine was replaced completely. The Jeep Liberty is structurally unsound and of poor design particularly in the area of the rear suspension. Daimler-chysler has lowered the suspension in obvious response to roll over incidents...

Failure of airbag to deploy and driver side seat belt to lock.

My wife lost control of our 2002 Jeep Liberty limited edition while driving in a downpour in the late afternoon on 12/19/02. She crossed the median colliding with a car and a truck and continued into a muddy field where the vehicle finally came to a stop. The driver side airbag failed to deploy either during or after the crash, however, the passenger side airbag deployed during the crash even though there was no passenger in that seat. This accident is, I believe, a driver side frontal offset collision type. Dealer contacted independent investigator for Chrysler who obtained codes from the on-board computer trying to find out why the driver side airbag failed. We have no results of the investigation as yet. Luckily, my wife did have her seat belt fastened or her injuries would have been much worse. She does have bruising and soreness and backpain and also has no memory of actual crash. Numerous medical tests have been performed while she was a patient in the hospital and after her release but no major health problems have been diagnosed as yet.
