“We have 2 vehicles under recall s61/NHTSA 16v-668 dated 10/01/16 and still no remedy. This recall puts our lives in Jeep's hands every time we drive our cars. The other Patriot under this recall was hit by a deer while driving and the airbags did not deploy. Luckily, that time we were not injured, but what about next time?”

“Jeep has failed to fix the issue with recall NHTSA recall number: 16v-668 manufacturer recall number: s61 recall date: october 1, 2016 I drive my children in this car, I would like to think we are protected by the seat belts and air bags.”

“My air bag light came on while driving. I took to Jeep delearship and was told that even after the repair, there is no guarantee that the airbag would deploy. They preformed the repair but the air bag light is still on. They said I would have to pay for some rewiring in the driver seat which would cost about $300. I am concerned that the airbag will just deploy spontaneously or not deploy in a collision. Will you please advise me what is suppose to happen after this recall and what I should expect. Thanks.”
