Description of the problem	My spouse was driving on i-20 e between mile marker 51 and 52 in sc on 25 july 2014 around 0645 hours and got into a wreck. Prior to the wreck she felt the steering wheel jerk and then she went from the right lane into the guard wires on the left lane then immediately was jolted to the right median. The force of the impact ripped most of the front of the vehicle apart. She was wearing her seatbelt and received seatbelt burns and no airbag deployment. Prior to this incident, on 25 december 2013, around 0700 hours, my spouse was rear ended and the forced was so hard that it lifted her rear end into the vehicle that hit her and crushed the other vehicle's front end, no airbag deployment, and my granddaughter was also in the vehicle at that time. Now when this happened in december, we chalked it up to, "maybe the vehicle wasn't hit right". I contacted chrysler on july 31 about the incident and sent pictures of both accidents and afterwards they sent an independent inspector from eaa (engineering automotive, the last a i can't remember) then i received a letter dated 21 august 2014 telling me in a nutshell that the onboard computers did not find any faults with the system. Last note, i bought the vehicle new in germany through military sales and starting to believe that there was no airbags in the vehicle.
