Oct 13, 2008 my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited, VIN # experienced an unexplained driver and passenger airbag deployment, while stopped with the engine running. I was unhurt, but my passenger who was reaching over to shake hands with a neighbor was slightly injured (no hospitalization). Insurance, Jeep dealers, extended warranty parties would not repair bags. Jeep (corporate) did send investigator and did arrange for air bags to be repaired at spring Chrysler Jeep in spring, tx. The dealer, per corporate directive, replaced both airbags and seat belt modules. They did not replace any wiring harnesses, or other associated parts. The dealer did not attempt to determine the actual cause of the accident. They were directed to send the removed parts to Chrysler. Since they did not or would/could not disclose to me the defect and did not replace the entire system, I am very concerned (scared) for my safety. An uncommanded airbag deployment (rare or none documented since no severe injuries occurred) could have catastrophic consequences. The SUV is currently at the dealer. It was ready/repaired 16 Dec 2008. I am not sure how to handle this. Could you please help? TR jones

I was the only person in my vehicle at the time of the accident. I was pulling a trailer & going up a bridge at approximately 50 mph when I lost control & hit the guardrail. My entire driver side and front end on the driver side was smashed. It bent my frame as well, however, the air bags never deployed. I called Chrysler customer service # just to let them know that it happened, just so they would have a record of it. I have never been treated so rudely by a "customer service" rep in all of my life, he actually hung up on me when I asked for his name. I called back to report him and was disconnected again. I am not suing. Fortunately, I was not hurt. But I was surprised that you could have an impact that hard & severe and the air bags not deploy. I will be very surprised if my Jeep is not totalled.
