2002 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC STOP. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURES TO THE HIP, FACE AND NECK. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY AIR BAG EXPLODED AND MY SEAT BELT LOCKED UP. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND GET OUT OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT I EXPERIENCED BURNS AND CONTUSIONS ON MY ARMS AND CHEST WHEN THE BAG DEPLOYED. BEING 3 MONTHS PREGNANT I'M THANKFUL MY INJURIES WERE NOT WORSE. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR PIECE OF MIND BUT NOW I'M STRESSED ABOUT THE PENDING BILLS AND FEAR DRIVING MY CAR. ADDED VIN.PCO. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE CONSOLE IS ON AND I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR THE CODE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING TO CAUSE THE LIGHT ERROR TO BE ACTIVATED. I AM REPORTING THIS DUE TO THE PRIOR REPORTS OF AIR BAGS BEING TRIGGERED AND EXPLODING IN 2002 JEEP LIBERTY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. I AM ADVOCATING AN AIR BAG PRODUCT RECALL FOR THE 2002 JEEP LIBERTY.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN OUR 2002 JEEP LIBERTY COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRING INCIDENTS OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE EARLY 2011. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRELATE ANY PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OR SITUATIONS THAT MAY TRIGGER THESE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT EVENTS. WE HAVE HAD AN AUTO MAINTENANCE FACILITY LOOK FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC ALARMS OR ALERTS VIA DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER EVALUATION AND THEIR FEEDBACK WAS THAT THERE IS NO APPARENT OR OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO TURN ON. OUR CONCERN WITH THIS SITUATION IS THAT IT MAY BE AN INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEFECT SUCH AS THE ONE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA RELATED TO RANDOM DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN 2002 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR
