Air bags did not deploy after making 2 impacts, totaling vehicle dear Chrysler/Jeep my name is [xxx] and I have been the proud owner of a 2003 Jeep Liberty renegade. On June 3, 2016 I was struck by another motorist on my home from work. I commute every day from the southwest suburbs of Chicago to downtown Chicago. I have taken the utmost pride in my Jeep, providing regular maintenance. In the past 6 months I have spent over $1500 in replacements. I recently purchased 4 brand new tires, a new alternator, a new muffler, oil pressure switch and an evap sensor. I have also made purchases to customize my Jeep, by adding neon lights in the inside, seat covers, and a new stereo system. Asides from all the love and attention I put into my Jeep, there was something about my accident that scared me the most. After the other vehicle struck me, my Jeep kept on rolling, hopping a curb, narrowly missing a tree and hopping another curb and totaling my Jeep. I suffered a left knee contusion in the end. The real horror is that my air bags did not deploy. For my vehicle to make 2 large impacts and no air bags has left me with a complete distrust in the brand. If my life was at a higher risk or if I had struck that tree or any other vehicle on the road, it's sad to think that the one safety feature that could have saved my life, took no action. Yes, a product liability lawsuit is possible because of this, but I want to ensure 100% that they?re may be thousands out there that put their trust in their Jeep, not knowing that it could possibly be a fatal mistake.

Takata recall. Attempted to get the airbag system occupant restraint control module replaced. I was told in 2015 they didn't have the part. Was then told in 2016 that they never received the part. Have placed numerous calls checking to see if the part came it. Calls were not returned. Now how do I get this done" about 6 months ago my airbag light started coming on and off. How do I get this taken care of, if, as claimed, the dealership never received the part to do the work"

For at least 2 years, I have had problems with the air bag light. I have never had an accident. I can be driving and after about 10 minutes, the light will come on and stay on. I have had one recall taken care of and it did not correct the problem. I have a pending recall and according to the dealer, the parts are still not in. I would like to sell my vehicle, but I probably can't with the airbag light on. I only have 84,000 miles.
