2017 Jeep Cherokee Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the driver inadvertently drove off the road and lost control of the steering, causing the vehicle to drive over a driveway, go airborne, and crash into a large boulder. The contact indicated that during the incident, the accelerator pedal was inadvertently pressed, causing the vehicle to accelerate faster. During the crash, the vehicle had sustained severe front-end damage, but no air bags deployed. The driver sustained injuries to the lower back and was transported from the scene to the hospital. A police and EMS report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was later towed to the home. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer had not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 71,000.

UNKNOWN Airbags did not deploy when struck by a semi that crossed the median and hit me then pinned me against guardrail that was also damaged/destroyed.

The contact's wife owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle before him stopped suddenly, causing his vehicle to crash into the rear end of the other vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The emergency units transported the contact to the hospital, where he was informed that his upper spine disk could be dislocated or fractured. An appointment was scheduled for an MRI. A police report was filed. The vehicle remained at the scene on the side of the road. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

My vehicle was in 2 MAJOR wrecks. One in dec 2021, where I t boned someone who turned in front of me at a green light. $19k in damages. Should have totaled it. But how in the hell the air bags didn’t go off is amazing. Bc my chest hit the steering wheel so hard i had to be treated for it. Not only that but the wreck destroyed my lower vertebrae. After it took the shop 6 months to fix and taken back for problems multiple times. I had it 2 weeks, and the brakes failed. Due to something the shop did I’m sure but I rear ended a lady with no brakes at 45-50 mph. Slamming directly into her even though I saw her. I broke my toe I hit the brakes so hard. But again I hit her directly where all the sensors are and this wreck was worse than the first the vehicle totaled and no air bags went off…. I shattered my left knee from hitting the dash.broke my big toe on my right foot etc. why didn’t my air bags go off…… I bought my vehicle certified pre owned in 2019. There’s no way in either wreck I missed that air bag sensor. I work in the collision industry. I know they have to be hit directly on to make them go off but there is no reason mine shouldn’t have other than a defect. I was alone in the first wreck, the second I was further injured and had to stop treatment I was still undergoing from the wreck before bc of the lapsing. My daughter was also injured in the second wreck. Second wreck happened in July 2022

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that on multiple occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds, the air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Initially started with parking brake coming on and it took 15 mins of pushing and pulling the button/switch and turning car on and off. Then service air bags light came on. Next was saying passenger and driver seat belts not buckled even tho both were buckled. Then abs light came on. Mechanic determined it was OCR sensor located under center console. Apparently can only get part from jeep and its $400. Ordered and the Jeep wont recognize it so replacement had to be ordered. Now tire pressure light is on as well. Says front driver and rear passenger are low even tho all tires are at 34psi. The seat belt dinging is constant even tho belts are buckled. I have no cruise control. Over past 2 weeks have had the parking brake issue twice. The rest of issues are constant. So now driving around waiting on part with constant worry my parking brake will engage. Other issues are inconvenient and annoying but the brake and airbags are saftey issues. Also my odometer blinks constant too.

I went into a ditch hit two trees and a culvert before stopping and no airbags were deployed My 2017 jeep is a total loss lucky I didn’t receive any major injuries , a laceration to my face quick need to be closed and brusing and scrapes. Mentally I am not okay know it could have been with my children in the vehicle but that day it was just myself

The vehicle didn’t have any warning lights or messages on dashboard. Someone ran a red light and hit my car while we were both going over 40mph and my airbags didn’t deploy but there’s did.. my car got towed as it wasn’t drivable anymore and was told the airbags where suppose to deploy but they didn’t.

DRIVING OFF ROAD THROUGH MUD. WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED... PROCEEDED TO DRIVE UPHILL THROUGH MUD AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 06/27/2020. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A ROAD FLIPPED 6-8 TIMES AND IMPACTED 3 TREES. NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED.*DT*JB

STARTED JEEP AND SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON. THE IDIOT STAYS ON. THERE IS ALSO A WARNING IN DRIVER INFORMATION DASHBOARD THAT AIR BAG NEEDS SERVICED. EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE NORMAL.

LAST MONTH I WAS IN A FRONT IMPACT COLLISION CAUSING MY 2017 TO BE TOTALED. HOWEVER THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!!! ITS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME! TTHIS DEFAULT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY!

MY JEEP CONTINUES TO SAY TO CHECK THE AIRBAG.. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH SEAT BELT LOCKED, IT CONTINUES TO BEEP AND SHOW THAT THE SEATBELT IS NOT BUCKLED

WHILE PICKING UP MY OLDEST CHILD FROM SCHOOL, MY THREE YEAR OLD TODDLER REACHED THE SHOULDER SAFETY BELT LOCATED IN THE CENTER SEAT (NEXT TO HER CAR SEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE) AND IT GOT WRAPPED AROUND HER NECK AND NEARLY STRANGLED HER. MY CHILD YELLED FOR HELP. I GOT OUT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND RAN TO HER AID AND IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FINGERS BETWEEN HER NECK AND THE BELT. I SCREAMED FOR HELP. SEVERAL ADULTS CAME TO AID AND THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT LET UP. EVERY MOVEMENT AND ATTEMPT MADE TO GET IT TO RELEASE MADE THE BELT TIGHTEN EVEN MORE AROUND MY CHILD'S NECK. THE SEATBELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO STOP THE HORRIBLE SITUATION THAT OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. MY CHILD HAD NECK SWELLING AND SOME BRUISING FROM THE INCIDENT. HAD MY CHILD BEEN NON VERBAL AND NOT ABLE TO GET MY ATTENTION, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANCE SHE WOULD HAVE DIED. THERE IS NO REASON A TODDLER SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH THE SHOULDER STRAP WHILE IN HER CAR SEAT HARNESSED. THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT LET GO. IT REMAINED LOCKED AND WITH EVERY MOVEMENT OF MY CHILD (MY CHILD WAS PANICKING AND MOVING) IT WOULD TIGHTEN FURTHER. A CHILD THAT AGE DOES NOT KNOW OF THE DANGERS OF SEATBELTS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY PRECAUTION IN PLACE FOR THIS KIND OF SITUATION. I BELIEVE THE SEATBELT IS DEFECTIVE AND EVEN SO THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RELEASE BUTTON FOR THE MIDDLE SHOULDER STRAP.

I HAVE A SERVICE LIGHT ON THE READS, SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A 4 CAR PILE UP ON THE 3 LANE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY STOPPED SEVERAL CARS IN FRONT OF US ON THE HIGHWAY AND CARS WERE SWERVING TO MISS THE TRAFFIC STOPPED. THE 2 CARS IN FRONT OF US AND OUR CAR WERE ALL ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING EACH OTHER. WE WERE STATIONARY (STOPPED) WHEN WE HEARD SQUEALING TIRES AND WERE REAR ENDED BY A F250 HAULING A TRAILER FULL OF FIREWOOD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS TRUCK THEN PUSHED US FORWARD INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. WHICH THEN PUSHED THAT CAR INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. SO, OUR VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND THEN IN THE FRONT. THERE IS SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE. MY CONCERN IS THAT NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK PROPERLY. IT WAS PULLED ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND THEN LOCKED. MY HUSBAND IS NOT A BIG GUY SO IT SHOULD OF LOCKED RATHER QUICKLY AND NOT AT THE END OF THE BELT. AS A RESULT, OF THE MALFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT MY HUSBAND FLEW FORWARD HITTING HIS FACE AND CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HE DID SUSTAIN INJURIES TO HIS FACE AND BODY FROM THE ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT ISSUED BE LOOKED AT. IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOME OTHER JEEP MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE SOME RECALLS FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF MY DAMAGED VEHICLE AND THE SEATBELT. *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
