I have a Jeep Liberty with 40,000 miles on it that has safety issues. We bought the car new as a small SUV for our family and it has been a complete piece of junk. The anniversary package that we bought is a joke. The fake leather seat have completely deteriorated which we overlooked but now the car is having safety issues. The air bag system is a joke and the failed module is no longer covered under the manufacturers warranty nor the extended warranty that the stealership sold to us. I will never ever purchase another Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep product as they are very unreliable vehicles as well as my experiences with 4 different dealerships has been beyond horrible. They even lied to us about changing our oil in the car and offered a free oil change to compensate for the lie. What a joke they did not even change our oil and said they did. I have been working with cars for 20 years so I know a few tricks of the trade and I always do things to be assured that the said work is being performed. I can not believe that a car with 40,000 miles on it needs a new module that is recalled for the same year as my Jeep but mine is not included in the recall, how horrible is that. I will never say anything good about these cars nor will I ever refer anyone I know to purchase such a piece of crap.

So yesterday after work I get in my car and start it, and I noticed my airbag light came on. I figured maybe the sensor was triggered by the hot weather but that still didn't make sense. So I look up what I should do in the manual and it says take it to the dealer (they were closed). The next day, I thought surely the code would clear and all would be well. To my surprise my light was still on. I take my car to the dealership to get checked out (mind you, I have 2 warranties on this car) and I just know it will be covered. Wrong! I was shocked and dismayed to find out that my airbag has 2 problems, the seat belt sensor has blown out and the the airbag module is blown out (meaning it will not deploy if I get in an accident). On top of all this, neither of these problems are covered by my $4,000 warranty and will cost me $910 before taxes. Seriously"?" I shouldn't have to pay a dime extra for what I was under the impression of already purchasing: A safe vehicle. This is absolutely unacceptable. Please do something about this soon. Someone could die.

I was driving about 40 mph. There was a red light and some preceding cars were stopped and others were slowing down. The brakes failed to respond even after stomping on it a of couple times. The brakes only depressed down a little bit but not fully (seemed like depressing brake pedal when ignition is turned off). The vehicle slowed down to about 30 mph, but did not come to a complete stop and crashed into the rear end of vehicle in front. Airbag deployed and caused minor cuts and bruises to the face.
