Problems with 2014 Jeep Cherokee AIR BAGS

On average, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee starts to “feel” problems with the AIR BAGS and its various aspects after 35 583 miles.

Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2014 Jeep Cherokee

I was in an accident severe enough to total the vehicle but none of the many air bags deployed. i rear ended a vehicle on the freeway. i was just concerned since i am unaware what speed i was going at the point of impact. the front of my vehicle was pushed back toward the windsheild pretty far. unfortunately, i don't have any pictures. i just wanted to express my concerns. we did test the car and there aparently no failure of the air bag system, so maybe no problem.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v010000 (air bags). the contact called an unknown dealer and was informed that the parts were pending and unavailable. the manufacturer was not contacted. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.

I was traveling on route 18 a 55 mph road yesterday and hit some ice or center rumble strips in the road. my car went into a large ditch. the front end of my car is severely damaged. the driver side airbag did not deploy. i find this very disturbing. definitely a safety issue!!

My vehicle was engaged in active use of cruise control, i had brand new tires, and something happened to the vehicle to where it caused an unsafe push of acceleration and the car lost traction on the road. the vehicle ended up rolling 125 feet off a small drop into a river. none of the airbags deployed despite having 13 points of impact. i had to extricate myself from the submerging vehicle. i the roads were paved with gravel on either side. i was traveling at 55mph, and following the curve of the road. *dt*jb

Service airbag system pops up all the time . sometimes it's the short wire that gets unplugged if you move your seat or just turns on and you have to replug that cord back . i'm not sure if the airbag will deploy if i get in an accident

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep cherokee latitude. the contact stated that when the vehicle was started the air bags, check engine warning indicators illuminated and the message center displayed 'check air bags system ". the vehicle was driven to the dealer (baxter chrysler/jeep/dodge of bellview, nebraska) whom informed the contact that without diagnosing the vehicle an exact failure could not be determined but they were able to inform the contact that there was a rodent nest inside the engine near the battery compartment and there were signs of chewing on the wires to the air bags sensors. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

My daughter was stopped at a traffic light and a car hit the truck behind her and pushed it into her and pushed her into the car in front of her. she seen the car coming and not stopping so she hit the brakes hard, so she didn't hit the car in front of her hard. the air bags didn't deploy and she hit her head and sustained a very bad concussion and lost the hearing in her left ear. she hit her head so hard it has a white matter spot on her brain.

At the end of last year our 2014 jeep cherokee sport was involved in an accident on i-95 in connecticut. the repair shop did not do a thorough inspection of the vehicle. at the time i told them that the passenger air bags did not deploy and that there was an air bag malfunction light on. they did not inspect this system until i went to pick the car up and the airbag warning light came back on. i waited 3 days for repairs and they did not happen. so i drove the car back to florida and took it to a jeep dealer here for the repairs. they have had my car since march and still cannot get the required repair parts from chrysler. i am wondering if there is any way i can force them to come up with the parts and fix my vehicle. in the mean time i am paying car payments on a car that i can't drive. and a car that i had to purchase to replace the one i can't drive. the insurer will not let me have the vehicle back due to safety concerns about the airbag system.

My jeep was traveling at 55 mph on a state road when it lost power and had to be steared/coast to the side of the road. had we been on an interstate this would have caused an accident, injury or death. the dealer claims nothing is wrong with the car and ready to release it to me today 3/29/16 to continue driving as a safe vehicle. in addition, the entire dashboard electronics had to be replaced at 8800 miles, the wiper blades fail, stall, or go off the side frame off the windshield during use causing hazardous driving conditions and reduced visibility, , the key remote fails (not due to dead battery) , the bluetooth reliability is intermittent which nulls the hands-free option for phone use while driving, the front and rear defrost did not work causing reduced visibility while driving in early morning hours and was repaired or replaced at 8800 miles, a rotational squeal was reported at 8800 miles and dealer claimed they could not duplicate. 5 months later, the noise continued. after i wrote them directions and sat with them, they replaced a faulty water pump on 4/21/15. the heat deflector shield and the resonator was replaced on 5/21. the car was towed to the dealer after the recent transmission failure. i will not drive the car again and risk the safety of my family or others.
