2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Air Bags Problems

While driving down the interstate at approximately 75mph to 80 mph, the driver side air bag curtain deployed with no warning or indication. There was no impact or bump in the road to cause vibration or a false signal to trigger the activation of the air curtain. I was simply driving the vehicle as normal when it deployed. When the airbags deployed, it caused me to swerve due to fear of the load noise, physical impact of air curtain, and visual interference. Fortunately, there was no traffic in the adjacent lanes, and I was able to get to the shoulder of the interstate. After I assessed the situation and calmed my nerves I navigated to my destination under the risk of visual impedance on the driver side. Emergency services was not contacted. The vehicle was not inspected by a professional however it was discussed with certified mechanics. In addition, I contacted the manufacturer in which they responded with..."There are no recalls for this vehicle, the vehicle is 16 years old with over 150K miles therefore they will do nothing. Regardless of the mileage and vehicle age, this should NOT have happened as there was no cause for it to happen. Luckily no additional damage took place or any major injury or fatality.

Tboned in an intersection, jeep rolled over multiple times, no airbags deployed. checked online, no recalls in effect so they should have gone off.

At approximately 12:05 pm on Monday, 6/12/23, I was making a right turn into a parking spot in front of Golden1 Credit Union, at 1040 E. Cypress Avenue. I was halfway into the turn when my driver's airbag deployed, striking me in the stomach and right hand and forearm. Despite being startled by the loud explosion, I managed to finish parking without hitting either the vehicle next to me or the curb. Approximately 1-2 minutes later, there was a second explosion from the airbag that sprayed small particles at me, again striking my right forearm. The incident left three superficial burn marks on my hand and arm. (I did not photograph them until this moment; only one mark is still visible.) My first thought when the airbag deployed was that I had been shot, as I heard a loud bang, smelled what I thought was gunpowder, and felt pain in my arm and stomach. I happened to be on a phone call with my spouse when it occurred (via hands-free stereo Bluetooth), so he heard the explosion followed by my shriek, and he also heard the second explosion. I had the vehicle towed to my trusted mechanics at Advanced Automotive. My service advisor was curious whether my vehicle (which I purchased used, in 2020) had been part of a safety recall in the past. In addition to his own research, he contacted a colleague at the local Jeep Chrysler dealer regarding same. Neither of them found any recall for my specific VIN, or for my specific vehicle year. He expressed his concern that even if they were to replace the airbag module, there was no guarantee that it would fix whatever had caused it to inadvertently deploy, and he recommended that I seek service from a Jeep/Chrysler dealer and implore them to take accountability for the issue. Prior to this incident, there was never any indication that anything was wrong with any safety system on the vehicle.

Clockspring has gone bad and caused my airbag light to come on and off. A recall has already been placed for Jeep Wrangler but Grand Cherokee should have been included with the same issue.

My air bag light has been lit up like a Christmas tree for since June. I have not been in an accident and the wipers are not responding properly when turned on.

The air bag deployed without the vehicle being in an accident. I was traveling on I80 heading East at 70mph when the airbag deployed. I have not taken it to a dealer, I can't afford the repair bill at this time. No one other than family has inspected the vehicle. It is not an insurance issue. There was no warning that the airbag was going to go off. However there is now a light on in my dash. I do not know what caused the malfunction. I was in the vehicle alone thankfully. It was the passenger side airbag. I have contacted Jeep and they are not accepting any responsibility. They declined the claim as they put it in like 2 hours via e-mail.

The airbag sensor is on. I had it checked at a independent mechanic shop the name of the shop is Magic AutoCenter, also my esp and abs sensor is on to. A lot of times I have to manually touch the esp button to turn off the traction.

THE IGNITION WON'T TURN TO ON WHEN I PUT THE FOB IN THE IGNITION. THERE WAS A RECALL # P57 BUT IT SEEMS THAT MY VIN # DOESN'T FALL UNDER THIS RECALL. WHO CAN I SPEAK WITH REGARDING THIS? THANK YOU. *TR

VEHICLE HAD ISSUE RESOLVED BY RECALL P57 WHERE KEY FOB WOULD STICK IN IGNITION BETWEEN OFF AND ON. THE KEY FIRST GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION ON 8/14/14, A MEMORABLE DAY, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE DAY WE WERE GOING TO THE TITLE COMPANY TO CLOSE ON OUR FIRST HOME. AT THE SAME TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE STARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTIONS ARE DISABLED. THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS WORK. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $90 JUST TO HOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO THEIR MACHINES TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS AS RELATED TO THE RECALL P57. NOT BEING ABLE TO HONK IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY IS A PROBLEM. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL SO I GUESS IT WILL TAKE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT (AN ACCIDENT WHICH CANNOT BE PREVENTED BY HONKING MY HORN TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER).

THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEEP ON 10/10/2013 DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. THERE WERE 112,988 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THIS, $400, AS WELL AS BRAKE PADS, AND DIAGNOSTICS, $600.63. ON 10/21/13, AT 113,851 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND HAD TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THERE WAS NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE AS THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SEEN FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL THE WEEK OF 8/17/2015 FROM FCA ON THE STATUS OF THE P57/NHTSA 14-567 RECALL FOR THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE (WIN). UPON READING THE RECALL NOTIFICATION SENT OUT, FCA RECOGNIZES THAT THE "WIN POSITION SPRING BACK MAY ALSO CAUSE THE DISABLING OF ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS." AT APPROXIMATELY 120,000 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN AND WAS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED UNTIL 123,000 MILES, WHERE THE LIGHT HAS STAYED CONTINUOUSLY ON. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO INQUIRE IF THEY HAD PARTS, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK FOR THE RECALL, BUT I WAS ADDED TO A WAITING LIST. UPON REQUESTING INFORMATION ON THE AIRBAG, I WAS IMMEDIATELY TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGHT HE NOTIFICATION SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THE AIRBAGS. THE CLERK GAVE ME A 1-800 NUMBER FOR JEEP. I CALLED THE JEEP 1-800 NUMBER AND WAS CONNECTED TO AN AGENT WHOM I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIRBAG AS WELL AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG IF THE RECALL NOTIFICATION MENTIONS THAT THE AIRBAGS COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD BE DIAGNOSING THE AIRBAGS ON THE CUSTOMER'S BEHALF. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR WITH THEM JUST GETTING TO A RESOLUTION. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

WE CONTACTED WEST BROTHERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN SULLIVAN, MO IN FEB. 2015 DUE TO MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE JEEP. THEY WERE AWARE THE JEEP WAS NOT RUNNING, WE WERE TOLD TO TOW IT TO DEALERSHIP ON FEB 26, 2015 AND THAT ALL PARTS WOULD BE THERE IN 2 TO 3 WEEKS, I AGREED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IF THE JEEP STILL WOULD NOT START AFTER RECALL WAS COMPLETE. I WAS TOLD DIAGNOSTIC TEST COULD NOT BE DONE UNTIL AFTER THE P57 RECALL WAS COMPLETE. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF BEING TOLD PARTS WOULD BE IN I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM JOE BOULWARE ON JULY 23, 2015 STATING WE HAD ONE DAY TO MOVE THE JEEP OR IT WOULD BE TOWED. HE SAID HE HAD SPOKE WITH MY SON (THE PREVIOUS OWNER) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TELLING HIM TO MOVE JEEP. THIS WAS FALSE AS MY SON WAS INCARCERATED ALL THE DATES HE GAVE. WE MET WITH GENERAL MANAGER WHO SAID WE WERE NOT WELCOME TO DO BUSINESS THERE ANYMORE DUE TO MY HEALTH ISSUES AND ACCUSATIONS MADE BY JOE BOULWARE, THEY REFUSED TO DO RECALLS ON THIS JEEP OR ON ANOTHER CHRYSLER TRUCK I OWN THAT NEEDS A SAFETY RECALL DONE. IN OUR PRESENCE, BUT NOT ON SPEAKER PHONE THE GENERAL MANAGER TELEPHONED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE WHEN P57 PART WOULD BE IN, HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF USING MY SONS NAME WHO IS IN THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS INSTEAD OF HIS OWN, HE TOLD US THE HELP LINE INFORMED HIM THEY HAD NO ESTIMATED DATE FOR PART TO BE RELEASED, WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER THEY FOUND RECORD OF HIS CALL ON 8-18-15 BUT INFORMATION WOULD HAVE BEEN FALSE AS PART BECAME AVAILABLE 8-14-15. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY ISSUED THE DEALERSHIP A RED LETTER COMPLAINT.
