| Description of the problem | Takata recall. My jeep grand cherokee laredo 2017 was being driven on highway 52 in juana diaz puerto rico. At the time it had started raining and the vehicle was going between 55-60mph. The "service electronic stability control" message came on during the week twice but then it never came up again, on this day the message did not show up at all and while driving the vehicle pulled towards the driver side (left) and crashed into the security security fence, after this control of the vehicle was lost and the brakes stopped responding which lead to a second crash with the passenger side (right) security fence. The vehicle came to a complete and abrupt halt because the entire front train was destroyed, the front wheels literally fell off the suv because the iron seemed like it had been cut through with a knife. What is completely surprising is the fact that after two major collisions the airbags didn't deploy at all which lead the passenger to receive a blow to head and the driver a blow to the hip and left knee (thankfully they were cleared of major injuries by doctors), all of this happened with both victims of the crash using their seatbelts in the correct manner. Fortunately no other cars were involved in the accident because traffic was very light at the time (approximately 11:15am). |
