I was driving in right lane,40-45MPH, heard a very loud bang (not a tire), front end of jeep lifted UP, then began veering to the right heading off the road. I was unable to break or turn steering. Next thing, I woke up from being knocked out, hit a pole, 3 witnesses heard the bang as well - one witness told police, all 3 air bags went off. Emergency services were summoned. Car totaled. Pole is still standing upright. Fortunately I did not die or get seriously injured. Emergency services said if I had hit the tree next to pole, the outcome of my injuries would have been totally different. Car was towed to auto repair center and they had never seen collision damage such as this. Insurance company notified. Police report made at time of accident.no driver citations. a few days later I contacted jeep company, told them they needed to send someone out to look at this damage, because someone is going to die! They had a third party come out to the collision repair shop and get black box information/examined vehicle. A few days later, I received a carefully worded letter from Jeep that they saw NO SUSPENSION or STEERING issues to be the reason for the accident. Only the BANG, VEHICLE UPLIFT ON RIGHT SIDE, HITTING POLE. NO warning lights were on. This car was purchased new in 2/2018. I just hit the 30,000 miles, new tires on vehicle for 3 months and had only 2,000 miles of usage on them. The vehicle was in excellent condition and always maintained 100%. Even the Farmer's Insurance inspector stated car was in showroom condition. Rim broke in half along inner seam, no blowout evidence, tie rod broke in half, ball joint shaft inside of the knuckle (broke inside of it), pivot still in lower control arm. Have photos/police report/pics. NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. HUSBAND HAD TO HELP TOW TRUCK DRIVER SLIDE THE SUSPENSION UNDER VEHICLE TO TOW IT.

I was in a t-bone accident involving my 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. The accident was severe enough to yield the vehicle undrivable and insurance has tentatively declared it a total loss (claim not yet finalized). I had a passenger in the front seat at the time of the accident and we were both surprised that no airbags were deployed in the accident. We were wearing seatbelts and fortunately the only injuries sustained were bruising, but without seatbelts injuries would have been far worse. The Jeep was purchased with approximately 25K miles on the odometer, had only one previous owner, and had no record of accidents, damage, deployed airbags, or recalls. At time of the accident, the odometer had around 54K miles, there were no warning lamps or messages, had still not been in any prior accidents, had been regularly maintained, and exhibited no symptoms or problems. Photos of damage attached.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle had stalled while the contact was in traffic, as she attempted to pull off the road, the power steering failed as well. The contact stated she hit the curb and lost control and crashed into a tree with the driver's side front fender and headlight. The vehicle had only slight damage to the headlight and front fender. The contact had suffered no injuries. The contact stated that the check engine light was illuminated. The contact had attempted to restart the vehicle and finally had it towed to her residence. The contact stated a non-certified mechanic had attempted to diagnose the failure and added a fuel system treatment solution to the fuel system. The contact stated that the vehicle finally restarted, however, the vehicle was idling roughly. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred, on a highway. The contact managed to pull off the highway and had the vehicle towed back to her residence. The vehicle had been checked again by the non-certified mechanic who said the failure was with the fuel pump. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by a dealer or certified mechanic and had not been repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V731000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I HAVE TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE TO GET MY FUEL PUMP FIXED. I FINALLY DID TODAY. BUT CAN'T GET IN UNTIL NEXTA FRIDAY. MY CAR HAS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO WRECK INTO MAILBOXES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND ALMOST BE HIT BECAUSE MY CAR STOPS WORKING. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. MY CAR IS A DANGER

THE ISSUE IS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT IT COMES BACK DOING THE SAME THING. DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT THIS HAS CAUSED US TO HAVE BODY WORK TO BE DONE AS WELL AS OTHER ISSUES. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.*JB *DT*TP

ANOTHER DRIVER RAN THE RED LIGHT AND THE HIT THE OTHER DRIVERS CAR BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *DT*JB

AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. SLIGHTLY COMPRESSING THE BRAKE TO COME TO A HAULT. INSTEAD OF BRAKING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR IN FRONT OF A BUILDING.

SUNDAY, 2 JUN 2019 @ APPROXIMATELY 1900 ME AND MY FRIEND WERE RETURNING HOME FROM FISHING, GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A LIGHT GRAVEL ROAD INSIDE A WILDLIFE STATE PRESERVE. WHILE MAKE STARTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME WHICH MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO FREE THE STEERING WHEEL IN TIME TO TURN HARD RIGHT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE AND COMING TO A STOP INCHES BEFORE GOING INTO THE RIVER. MY CAR WAS HANGING OFF THE BANK WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ROLLING OVER INTO THE RIVER, MY FRIEND AND I HAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR FOR THE FEAR OF A POSSIBLE ROLLOVER. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS (HILL ASSIST, ABS WARNING, ETC) AS EVERYTHING HAPPENED VERY FAST. I CURRENTLY HAVE A ACCIDENT CLAIM IN WITH MY INSURANCE AND THE JEEP DID SUSTAIN DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE. I WILL NOT KNOW THE RESULTS UNTIL TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY BUT FROM THE INITIAL LOOK, IT APPEARS THAT MY POWER STEERING FUILD IS LEAKING OUT AND ONTO MY AXLE AND ROTOR. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BEFORE OR AFTER THE IMPACT INTO THE RIVER BANK. AFTER THE TOLL TRUCK PULLED ME OUT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME HOWEVER I WAS HEARING A FLIPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY DRIVER FRONT TIRE. I AM NOW VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AS THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS BODILY HARM. PICTURES WILL BE UPLOADED LATER AS I HAD LOST MY PHONE IN THE RIVER A D HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM FROM MY FRIEND YET.

I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPACE SLOWLY WITH THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED. AS I PRESSED FURTHER ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN AND SMACKED THE RETAINING WALL. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH THE PARKING BRAKE (DID NOT PRESS) AND THE CAR WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
