I was in a head on collision in my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and another driver crossed the center line. I braked at approximately 40 mph the other car was driving the same speed downhill and made impact with the front drivers side bumper. Busting the headlight, washer fluid reservoir, threw my front grille at least 5 feet in front of the truck-?? their car-??s front end was demolished. My airbags in my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not deploy. I feel this is a fail on the manufacturer as there is no reason why one if not all airbags should not have deployed.

I bought my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk used from Carmax and after barely having it 7 months it is now totaled by Insurance company. The reason: driving home from work on state highway at approx. 45mph on November 24, 2021 after dark. Came over rise in road to see about 10 vehicles completely stopped in front of me about 100 yards away. I applied the brakes and nothing happened. Took foot off brake pedal & tried again... nothing. I had to swerve off road to keep from running into back of vehicle(s) stopped in front of me. Was able to safely miss damaging/injuring any other vehicles/people. Struck a tree on the left front of Jeep. Applying brakes did not stop or slow my Jeep Grand Cherokee's speed. When tree was struck at approx. 45mph the airbags did not even deploy.

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

Was pulling into shop on nice sunny day. I turned taking a right off road and some lady swerved right off road and hit me doing 50mpg. This caused me to go forward in vehicle and accelerate at a high speed. I then hit a metal carport which crashed on my roof. Busted sunroof, hit side of brick wall on passenger side and then went down into a steep ditch and partially back up. None of the airbags deployed. I did see one black oval shaped airbag behind the front driver tire afterwards. Jeep was totaled. Front end was demolished looked like a big mouth. Both wheels were turned in and busted. It was crushed.. sides were completely dented in. Not sure if I accelerated or the vehicle did on its own as I have no recollection. Notified Jeep they sent someone out to do a report as I was injured.

I was involved in a head on collision with a snow plow mounted to a Ford F-250 where significant front end damage was done to the vehicle, and the airbags didn't deploy. There's no way possible these airbags should have not been deployed.
