My vehicle, along with thousands of others have been under recall for a serious safety concern. Circuits fail, which prevent the airbags from deploying and from seat belts restraining. I have waited 4 months for a resolution and there is nothing. It is unacceptable that I am forced to drive around a hazardous vehicle (pregnant!!!). Jeep should either provide a safe rental vehicle or buy this back. The value of my vehicle has greatly decreased due to this recall. How many people have to be killed before action is taken on this-- this is unacceptable and I would expect that a group whose responsibility is to keep drivers safe would allow this to continue without a resolution. I expect more.

Car is less than 3 years old. 42K miles. Purchased from dealer new in 7-24-2012. Occupant restraint controller module failure. We are being charged for replacement part and labor. Cost in excess of $400 plus diagnosis. I see that this is a rampant problem in other Jeep vehicles of similar vintage. The recall recently issued should be extended to this model as well. Part # oc 08035034 part cost $203.13.

Patriot 4-cyl

My 2012 Jeep Patriot was struck on the driver side by a van. The state patrol officer estimated the speed on impact was around 25 mph from the vehicle that hit mine but may have been underestimated because the crush damage and distance the Jeep was pushed seems to indicate a higher impact/speed. I was struck my driver side front panel and driver door. Both driver and passenger front airbags deployed, but I had no passenger traveling with me. After everything settled from being knocked unconscious I realized that the side curtain and side impact airbags never deployed. It looks like it may have tried but failed as part of the airbag was exposed. I was transported to a hospital. They found multiple internal injuries and still looking into rotator cuff area and trauma to it. Other injuries included bleeding/kidneys by blood in urine, partial collapsed lung with major bruised ribs, concussion. The vehicle was declared a total loss...updated 09-09-14 updated 12/16/2014
