Oh my gosh. Are you feeling okay? I crashed my Benz head on a few months ago and all the airbags deployed instantly. Am I understanding this correctly? You could feel the impact and then shortly after, watch the airbags deploy?

Yes.

Yes. As soon as EMT asked me I told them I watched it deploy after hitting my head. After being released from the hospital I went to go see where I had hit and noticed the impact on the visor and near where the button to open the top is located (in picture I posted). I read online that their was a sensor delay issue a few years ago. Wondering if this is an issue that hasn’t really been resolved. Just want other owners to beware and get sensors checked….however that works.

Wow! That looks brutal I’m so sorry. I haven’t heard of this exact issue but I know Jeep’s aren’t the safest cars on the road. I hope the swelling goes down and that scar heals perfectly. I still have my Mercedes emblem slightly scarred on my arm.

I hope mine doesn’t get any worse….I was going about 5 mph…the other driver about 35 mph. Imagine if we were going any faster! . This is yesterday’s pic and it’s much worse today. I go back to the doctor tomorrow thank goodness.

Prayers sending you’re way for a speedy recovery.

Thank you!! Hopefully you have healed…do you still have the permanent scar of the emblem?

I don't have a for sure answer for you, maybe if this gets escalated Jeep can pull the data and see why they had a delay deploy.

My guess is that you were on that borderline speed of having the airbags get deployed. In the FAQ section of the NHTSA web site, they say that air bags usually get deployed if you're going anywhere from 8mph to 14mph. I do remember reading years ago how air bags don't deploy when you're going slower.

Who is pulling the computer? Hopefully your adjuster through a collision shop. I don't want to say the "L" word, but this seems like one. With all the recalls over the past few years, it isn't unheard of. Even if your insurance company does the lawsuit bit based on the evidence and your bills, as a fellow consumer/Jeep owner I'd appreciate you filing a complaint with NHTSA so they put an investigation together if there are enough people having the issue.

I was in a wreck last month where I got hit in the rear driver tire, my Jeep spun, and rolled onto its side. The impact (either from the truck or the ground) was enough for the sport bar to flex and bend at the crumple zones. The impact sheared the track bar mount off the frame and shifted the rear axle several inches passenger. No airbags deployed.

I know side impact is completely different than your situation, but I was shocked that my side airbags did not deploy.

I hope you heal quickly.

I’m guessing you already have, but if not, please report it. https://www.nhtsa.gov/
This seems crazy to have to smack your head like you did, then get smacked again with the airbag. I hope you heel up well.

I am speaking with an attorney and he will have the computer pulled. I just need to know this won’t happen to anyone else if it shouldn’t have.

Thanks for helping keep us all safe too! Best of luck on your ongoing recovery.
