2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — Complaint #2007146
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS filed July 12, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2007146 (ODI reference 11601592) concerns a 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE and was filed on July 12, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 25, 2024. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 2, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE cohort independently describe similar air bags failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
