Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving 40 MPH on a 2 lane road the passenger sidewall airbag deployed seconds after the airbag warning light came on. There was no impact. Car was driven about 2 miles to the Jeep dealer where it was purchased. They suggested I call chrysler. Chrysler sent an engineer to investigate. Chrysler sent me a letter stating that there was nothing that would leave them to believe it was the manufacturer's responsibility. I am trying to find out why it deployed. Chrysler will not provide me with this information. …”
NHTSA complaint #11022171, filed 2017-09, 68,000 miles“Riding down rode. Speedometer and lights failed. Took to dealership while the vehicle was at the shop the walked away to file paperwork and airbags deployed on the vehicle. It was the right side air curtain. The entire length of the unit. According to the dealership the car was sitting motionless on the garage floor.”
NHTSA complaint #11020439, filed 2017-08, 88,000 miles“The fuse box under hood is labeled incorrectly and on the cover states spare fuses in cavity 29 and 30. However, it is acctually the airbags which is why it is in a yellow safety holder and also the original manual that comes with the Jeep states that it is the airbag. However directly on the box under the hood it says cavity 29 and 30 are spares which are causing people to pull them out and use them as spares elsewhere unaware that they are in danger”
NHTSA complaint #11129668, filed 2018-09, 200,000 miles“Airbag light keeps coming on. Am told that this indicates that the airbag restraint system is not working. Have taken it in to the Jeep dealer several times and they think it has to do with the remote starter that was installed by the same Jeep dealer, yet that was almost 2 months ago but the problem still persists.”
