2016 Jeep Patriot Air bags Problems

“The system that monitors whether a passenger is in the passenger seat malfunctions and causes the seatbelt to show unbuckled therefore turning the airbag off in case of an accident. This specific piece of equipment has been recalled on similar vehicles in the same year but my VIN was not selected and my dealership wanted me to pay in order to fix it because it was a safety risk.”

“The airbag light illuminated once in 2017. Then it went off and came back on 4 years later. On january 15, 2021 it came on about 20 times. And then all weekend. I was told by my dealer it was a sensor in the passenger seat. In this case the passenger side doesn't have a fully operational passenger side airbag. This is a huge safety concern, as someone could get hurt or possibly killed. The vehicle was in motion on all accounts on city streets.”

“Not sure if takata inflators are involved. On thursday 1/12/2017, I was stopped on the freeway and was rear-ended by a semi truck which didn't stop going approximately 35 MPH. It pushed me into the vehicle in front of me which was a car length away. The seat broke backwards, the headrest broke off completely and I hit the rear veiw mirror breaking it off. None of the 6 airbags in the vehicle deployed,”

“My malfunctioning Jeep Patriot experienced sudden unexpected acceleration which resulted in a totaled car, 2 damaged buildings, and a FCA letter stonewalling and washing their hands of. This accident came within a whisker of taking our lives. Accident happened as I descended our driveway to our house. Deep skid tire marks in gravel they chose to ignore. Their investigation was very very shallow. I have a detailed description of all that happened that day and police report which I can fax to you. I am a very angry and frustrated veteran I need you. Thanks.”

“Takata recall. I was involved in a accident on march 14, 2016. I was stopped at a stop sign when a SUV was making a right turn to the street I was stopped waiting to make my right turn. The gentleman was speeding and took a hard right, he lost control of his vehicle and hit me full impact on the driver side. The entire driver side had to be replaced. The airbags did not inflate, the airbag lights did not turn on. At the impact that I was hit they should have gone off and no one knows or could explain why they didn't deploy. …”
