2012 Jeep Compass Airbags Problems

Your passenger-side headrest airbag deployed unexpectedly while you were driving on the highway, even though there was no reason for it to deploy. This sudden deployment distracted you and could have caused an accident or injured your passenger. Both the dealer and Jeep Customer Care declined to help because your vehicle is out of warranty, even though the dealer acknowledged this problem has occurred in other cars. Fixing this issue will likely require airbag system diagnosis and replacement of the faulty headrest airbag assembly.

IS THERE'S A DEADLINE TO FIX A AUTO RECALL ON AIR BAG SYSTEM?

NHTSA RECALL # 16V-668 ON MY 2012 JEEP COMPASS IS STILL INCOMPLETE. THE MANUFACTURER STILL ADVISES THERE IS NO REMEDY, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I AM TRYING TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THEY CAN'T ACCEPT A 2012 EXCELLENT CONDITION JEEP COMPASS WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT, BECAUSE OF A RECALL THAT CAN'T BE FIXED. THEREFORE, I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR SOMETHING THAT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL AND IS THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER.

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN THE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS MAY NOT WORK IN A COLLISION! CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THE RECALL WAS INITIATED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016--IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR! WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE?!

TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. SO I AND MY WIFE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH A NO WORKING AIRBAG SYSTEM. HOW LONG IS GOING TO TAKE?

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IN MY 2012 JEEP COMPASS WEEKS AGO. BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS USED IN A FLEET CAPACITY, I PULLED IT FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. I TALKED TO DODGE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME. I THEN ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT DODGE DOESN'T HAVE A RENTAL PROGRAM FOR RECALLS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS MANUFACTURE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN TO RECTIFY AN INCONVENIENCE THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GO THROUGH REGARDING A PROBLEM THAT WASN'T THE CUSTOMERS FAULT TO BEGIN WITH. I'M VERY UNHAPPY DODGE TREATS CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS.
