During a rollover crash which initiated at 40 miles per hour, the frontal airbags failed to deploy. The vechicle rolled and an adequate amount of force to deploy the air bags should have been triggered. As a result the ooccupants experience extensive injuries consistent with sudden deceleration.

Tamara recall. I was hit by a drunk driver at highway speed here in Texas on 12/7/2018. Air bags didn't deploy in my 2016 Jeep jku. All air bags deployed in the drunk drivers vehicle. She walked away and I was taken to the hospital. If my airbags had deployed from such a hard impact I might have walked away like the drunk driver. So much for having airbags if they don't work. Both vehicles had to be towed away from the scene due to extent of damages.

Received several recall letters from fca. Finally called the dealer to schedule what you say is a 2 hour repair. First problem, they say they have not received any parts to effect a repair on any of the effected vehicles. That has been over one year. Now that you are sending out the notices for a year, my wife is concerned that if she were to be involved in an accident, the air bags may not deploy as designed. There has to be some kind of time frame for the manufacturer to make needed repairs or what good is your department?

On January 30, 2017 another vehicle pulled out in front of me and stopped. I hit that vehicle with my 2016 Jeep Wrangler at about 30-35mph. The impact totaled both vehicles. My Jeep's frame was buckled and twisted all of the way to the rear bumper. The rear body mount bolt were even bent. The airbags didn't deploy and the seat belts didn't pretension. I hit the dash with both knees and got abdominal muscle injuries as well as severe whiplash. I am still under a doctor's care for my injuries including a pinched nerve between C5-C6. Fca opened an investigation and sent me a letter stating that "the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag and air bag system was not present during this accident". the impact buckled my frame and totaled a 5 month old vehicle, but fca wants me to believe that it wasn't severe enough for the air bags to deploy. Fca is either being deceptive or their vehicles are simply unsafe. Either way, due to their deceptive actions, it is impossible to know how many accidents are truly related to this vehicle defect. I found out about the recall (S76) the week after my accident when I filed a complaint with fca. My vehicle was in the dealership for its first oil change two weeks after this recall was issued, but it wasn't repaired and I wasn't informed of a recall. I received my recall notice today, 74 days after my accident. I have the police report, pictures of the Jeep and the frame, the insurance adjuster's cell phone number as well as all correspondence with fca, should you want it...updated 05/09/17 updated 9/27/18

Currently a recall for a sensor of the airbags. I installed mopar led headlights. They say the headlights get destroyed during the fix and they put stock headlights back in, not what I currently have. They are factory made mopar headlights that cost approx $950. I don't want to get this recall done because I don't think I should lose out on that much money. Chrysler designed these headlights so that can only be put in once. They should suffer the consequences of that design by replacing them for a safety recall, not have me lose out on the money I spent making my vehicle safer.

Took our Jeep in to autonation Chrysler Jeep arapahoe in centennial, co and they said they couldn't perform the recall work without removing the wench on the front of our Jeep. They said we would have to pay 5 hours of tech time to remove and re-install the wench in order for them to perform the recall work. Didn't tell us when we brought it in, 9 hours later when I called to check on it they said this. The recall letter states that if the dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time we were to file a complaint.
