“I have had a couple of pretty bad accidents to front end of my Jeep Liberty and the air bags never deployed. Last accident was pretty bad. Vehicle pulled out in from of me and I t-boned them, I tried to stop but didn't have enough time. Every airbag in their vehicle deployed. I was driving down a state highway when vehicle pulled out in front of me.”

We were able to safely pull off the road and as soon as the smoke cleared from the vehicle we drove it to the nearest Jeep dealer they are currently looking at it but haven't got back to us yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10456152, filed 2012-04, 38,400 miles“Since I brought the car in 2008 at times the interior dash light and head lights flicker also the air bag light all the sudden stays on. I have intermediate no start at this time so I can't really use the car. I believe this might be an electronic issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10898003, filed 2016-08, 72 miles“Esp/bas, ABS and skidding vehicle icon lights came on in the instrument cluster! The cruise control stopped working. This is the same issue we had on our 2007 Jeep wrangler, which I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, which issued a recall on our Jeep. The clock spring module, located under the steering wheel, controls, the ABS, esp/bas, cruise control, horn, and air bag! This is a safety issue and should be recalled, like my 2007 Jeep wrangler was!”
