2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Supplemental restraint system. The air bag system failure annunciated corruption of the system. Auto was taken to dealer, wallace Jeep in stuart, Florida for repair. System was diagnosed and parts ordered for repair two weeks ago. Parts are still backordered. How can safety items not be available?
Was in an accident traveling approx 30mph hit another car (T-bone) traveling approx 50mph with major intrusion to opposing car with significant front end damage to my car there was no airbag deployment. This was reported to collision center through dealer possibly sending car to get tested for faulty airbags.
Me and my room mate were driving back from my job when a lady in a car passed a red light. We hit the lady head on at 45 mph and neither one of the driver or the passenger airbag's deployed. The vehicle was a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
When it goes below 20 degrees F, the passenger seat senses someone sitting in it when there is no one there. The airbag light lights on the passenger side and the red airbag light lights. If I push down and release the seat cushion, the passenger airbag light goes off, then the red airbag warning light goes off. In 30 seconds, it all comes back on and starts dinging the alarm again. This has been happening for quite some time but my Jeep/Dodge dealer does not seem to want to help.
I was driving on a snowy road when my SUV started to fish tail and lost control and hit a light pole doing about 25-30 on the front right side of my SUV and my airbags didn't deploy.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 25 mph, the contact's vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The vehicle at fault slammed on the brakes, which caused the contact to slam on the brakes as well. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belts failed to restrain the contact. A police report was filed. He stated that this is a safety issue because the components failed to protect him from bodily harm, which could have led to being severely injured. The current and failure mileages were 27,000.
