2011 Jeep Patriot Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I have and airbag check light on on my dashboard. I tested the code and it corresponds to B1B06 (Driver Airbag Squib 2 circuit Open). This matches a recall done on previously. NHTSA Recall Number 16V-288, in which my vehicle was MISSED from the recall!! Now that my vehicle is indicating the problem JEEP refuses to fix the problem. Although this was supposed to be fixed during the appropriate recall time. I called Jeep on May 26, 2025 and the associate told me that is the problem comes from the recall, the dealer will fix it. The dealer says they are not going to fix it because it is a closed recall. I called Jeep again, and they are not clear about fixing it. They clearly failed to include my vehicle in the recall and now I have the problem.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact that upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS). The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the recall as a possible cause for the failure; however, the VIN nor the model vehicle was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The airbag light keeps coming on and off consistently

The front airbags are defective and not working. I was involved in an accident in July of last year, and they did not deploy. It was a recall on it a few years back, however apparently was not repaired. I do not feel that this should fall on me because it’s not mechanical and nothing that I don’t have anything to deal with and it is a safety issue. Please provide on how to proceed, thank you!

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.

Airbag light , traction control light ,abs light , brake light all are on

I HAD ALREADY TAKEN MY VEHICLE AND SUPPOSEDLY TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL DEALT WITH ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY ROAD AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR ZERO REASON.

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.

THE COMPANY GRAVA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (29 MYSTIC AVE, MEDFORD, MA 02155) , DID NOT PERFORM THE REQUESTED RECALL. HE RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITH NO SOLUTION AND NO DOCUMENTS. BUT I HAVE AN EXCHANGE OF TEXT MESSAGES WITH THE EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY WHERE I MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I NEED THE RECALL.

I ROLLED THE JEEP AND NOT ALL THE AIR BAGS PROPERLY DEPLOYED. EVEN THE COP WAS SURPRISED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT COME OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

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. HELP PLEASE I NEED TO FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE.

WHILE TRAVELING GOING DOWN THE ROAD UNDER VERY COMMON CONDITIONS AS FAR AS SMOOTHNESS OF ROAD, THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I UNDERSTAND FROM READING ONLINE ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PART, THIS IS TO HAPPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, I ALSO READ THAT MANY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH HEADREST DEPLOYING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL , I LEAVE IN PUERTO RICO AND I DON'T HAVE OPTION IN PUERTO RICO TO REPLACE THIS ASUMPTION OF THE RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER OF THIS RECALL YESTERDAY.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER ON MY JEEP AND WENT DOWN TO MY LITHIA JEEP OF RENO TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE ONLY DOING 10 RECALLS A MONTH, AND THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 100 PERSONS AHEAD OF ME. LITHIA JEEP OF RENO IS THE ONLY JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TOWN! I EXPRESSED SHOCKED THAT I WAS TO WAIT OVER 10 MONTHS ON A RECALL PART, AND THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE!

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 MAKING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT YOU AS A COMPANY HAS NEGLECTED TO FULFILL YOUR DUTY AND PROVIDE ME WITH THE SAFETY MEASURES DESERVING OF A CONSUMER.
