NHTSA Complaint #10746176 — 2011 JEEP LIBERTY

SO YESTERDAY AFTER WORK I GET IN MY CAR AND START IT, AND I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I FIGURED MAYBE THE SENSOR WAS TRIGGERED BY THE HOT WEATHER BUT THAT STILL DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I LOOK UP WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER (THEY WERE CLOSED). THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGHT SURELY THE CODE WOULD CLEAR AND ALL WOULD BE WELL. TO MY SURPRISE MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT (MIND YOU, I HAVE 2 WARRANTIES ON THIS CAR) AND I JUST KNOW IT WILL BE COVERED. WRONG! I WAS SHOCKED AND DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT MY AIRBAG HAS 2 PROBLEMS, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR HAS BLOWN OUT AND THE THE AIRBAG MODULE IS BLOWN OUT (MEANING IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT). ON TOP OF ALL THIS, NEITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE COVERED BY MY $4,000 WARRANTY AND WILL COST ME $910 BEFORE TAXES. SERIOUSLY??? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME EXTRA FOR WHAT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF ALREADY PURCHASING: A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON. SOMEONE COULD DIE.
