2011 Jeep Patriot seat belts problems

“No dash lights, in my way to work someone cut into my(crossed solid line) lane and my vehicle hit the rear end of the vehicle that cut into my lane. Going around 55 and wearing my seatbelt, slammed on the breaks, couldn't go around without flipping my car so we collided. The front end of my car was completely destroyed and the airbags did not deploy. I am this cars second owner after my father bought it new & if he knew it would almost kill his daughter in 12 years he never would have bought it. It had no accident history and had been told the recall was fixed when it very obviously was not. We had a rep from Chrysler come and pull the crash data, and he tried to tell me there was no reason for the airbags to go off. The entire front of my car was crushed, there is no possible way they should not have triggered for the severity of the accident I was in. I smashed my head so hard on the steering wheel that I blacked out, broke my eye socket and suffered a severe concussion. I have photos/accident reports and Chrysler has the data from my car. I also think my dad has a copy of this data. I'm so so lucky I didn't die, this is absolutely a defective airbag…”

“The driver side seatbelt is buckled and will release without the release button being pressed. This has happened on several occasions. When a driver can not count on the support and protection of their seatbelt their life is at greater risk every time they get behind the wheel.”

“RECALL NUMBER: 13V-233 AND RECALL NUMBER: 16V-668 CALL DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED, AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION SAYING THEY WOULD CALL, BUT THEY NEVER DID. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS KEPT ME FROM HAVING THE REGISTRATION UP DATED. RESULTING IN GETTING THICKETS FOR DRIVING WITH EXPIRED TAGS.”

“TAKATA RECALL I AM PREGNANT AND JEEP CAN NOT OFFER ME ANY SAFETY RESOLUTION,I COULD GET INTO A ACCIDENT AND KILLYSELF AMDY CHILD I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE .ALSO MY FRONT AND BACK SUBFRAM IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS.

“I AM MAKING A COMPLIANT TO YOUR COMPANY ABOUT MY AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSION. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2017 AND WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHERE TO GET THE RECALL ISSUE HANDLED. WHILE ONLINE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO CORRECT MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT IN. I APPLIED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL TO INFORM ME OF WHEN THE PART(S) NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE IN. I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER SINCE 7/24/17 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING ON GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED. MY FEELINGS OF SAFETY OR CONSTANTLY BEEN TESTED AS I HAVE TO TRAVEL DAILY AND THIS IS MY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT 6 MONTHS HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. YOUR COMPANY HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND NO UPDATES HAVE BEEN EMAILED OR SENT TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT FOR SOME REASON I HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. I AM STILL AWAITING THE PARTS NEEDED WITH A LIST OF AVAILABLE DATES TO GET SERVICED IN MY COMMUNITY. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM…”
