AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ~ 8:15 AM AND THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED. I WAS STILL DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AS I HAD LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. I KEEP A HIDE-A-KEY ON THE CAR AND THE KEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. I WENT TO THE REAR GATE OF THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN, HOWEVER, THE GLASS POPPED OPEN AND I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL IN THE CAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I THEN CALLED FOR A TOW AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD NOT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE, THEY WOULD BE CONTACTING JEEP CORPORATE. ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER, I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM THEIR RECALL TECHNICIAN WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING WERE A RESULT OF THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WITH REGARDS TO THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS UNTIL TWO (2) WEEKS AFTER....AUGUST 3 OR AUGUST 4, 2014. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REAR WINDOW ACTUATORS WILL BREAK WITHOUT WARNING AND DROP THE REAR WINDOWS COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THIS MODEL OF LIBERTY HAS THE "SEVERE BUFFETING" PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CAN CAUSE INCREDIBLE SURPRISE AND DISORIENTED TO THE POINT A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THEM ANYMORE. BOTH WINDOWS ARE SEMI-PERMANENTLY MANUALLY FIXED IN PLACE BY ME. *TR

STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH LANES, IT FELT AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWERVE BETWEEN LANES. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING, THEREFORE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SWERVE AND EVENTUALLY SLID OFF ROAD INTO A MEDIAN FULL OF TREES. ONCE IN THE MEDIAN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL OVER. THE VEHICLE ROLLED 3 OR 4 TIMES, EVENTUALLY COMING TO A STOP PASSENGER-SIDE DOWN. THERE WAS DAMAGE ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE FRONT AND SIDES. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN LESS THAN A YEAR AGO TO GET FIXED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM, BUT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING CRASH. I WAS TAKEN VIA AMBULANCE TO A LOCAL TRAUMA UNIT. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *TR
