I own a 2002 Jeep Liberty which had the M35 recall. "airbag deployment". I had the recall patch done. I have read that the recall patch doesn't fix the deployment issue and that the NHTSA is tracking the issues that are still happening after the recall repair. On 10-14-2014 this happened to my Liberty. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

We had the M35 recall done at South point Chrysler Jeep Dodge in tulsa ok on approximately August 2, 2014. On September 18, 2014 my daughter was involved in a highway intersection accident where her car sustained front end damage so bad it was totaled. She was driving approximately 10mph and the other car was going 65mph. None of the airbags deployed when the collision happened. The other cars airbags deployed. That car was totaled also. I have several pictures of my daughters car immediately after the collision. The police, fire department and Oklahoma highway patrol all were surprised her airbags did not deploy. Subsequently she has sustained a concussion and is having to have several mris and ct scans due to the car accident. I would like to know why her airbags did not deploy at impact. I thought this recall was suppose to take car of airbags from deploying inadvertently but didn't think it would cause them to not function at all...updated 07-08-15

While driving on a highway both my front air bags, driver and passenger side, deployed. I had a recall for my air bags and went to a dealership to get it repaired about a month ago. Then this happens. I've contacted the dealership and they are stating there is nothing they can do. I am extremely disappointed in Jeep and currently have no car due to the lack of care of Chrysler.

There was a recall on the front air bags where they would deploy at any time. I took my Jeep in around 6-12 months before the incident happened and got the recall fixed but it still went off. I have a remote starter on it and had it running to cool it off before I got in to leave. I was standing not even 10 feet from it and it just went off. I just wanted you to be aware of the fact that I had the recall fixed and it still didn't work.

I filed a complaint with a representative from Chrysler and it is shown on the previous page..however, a couple of things aren't as I described them to her. We received 3 recalls and took the Jeep to mtn. View in ringgold ga on July 28/2014. The recalls were for trailer hitch, air bags and seatbelts..we were there for approximately 4 hours and were told we were ready to leave.a few (3) miles towards home the air bag light came on-we had stopped at a vegetable stand and immediately turned around and went back to the dealer ship..they were not happy..after about 35-40 minutes a guy comes out and said it was our battery!! that we needed to purchase a new one..we left and started home again and just a couple of miles up the road the light came on and has continued to stay on..on the other information the girl took she said we did not take the car back to the dealership-but it was not fixed..I called and filed a complaint because of the harsh treatment and the problem was not solved and because medicine belonging to my husband had been taken out of the console..she suggested I notify Chrysler and then gave me and ODI # 10618678. Chrysler said it was reported the airbag module and a ball joint had been replaced...
