| Description of the problem | My vehicle (2019 jeep grand cherokee) was only 1 1/2 years old and was involved in a head on collision. I was driving about 45mph when i was struck by 4-door chevy silverado (driver-to-driver collision) that was attempting to make a left turn on green, so only going about 3-5mph. The truck's steering wheel airbag deployed, but none of my jeep's did. My jeep's entire front area was crushed, and driver's side experienced extensive damage as well; resulting in my jeep being totaled. Everyone at the scene of the accident was shocked that my jeep's airbags did not deploy. As a result, i busted my head on the steering wheel, and 6 weeks later, i still have a knot on my forehead. I will never purchase a grand cherokee again! I am completely amazed there are zero recalls! |
