What owners wrote
I t-boned a taxi that tried clearing 3 lanes of roadway last minute to make his exit. I was going 30MPH. Upon impact, the priuses airbags went off, and I noticed my airbags in the jeep did not go off. For an impact at that speed, and hitting the car full frontal, it should have definitely gone off.
Our 2003 jeep liberty has a defect that has a TSB on it. It was supposed to have been repaired by a dealer in may 2004. In chryslers notification to customers, they claim that the rear flip up window may open if water gets into the switch, only if vehicle is un-locked. That un-locked statement is false and we have had it happen 2 or 3 times with vehicle locked.
