| Description of the problem | Someone in a 3/4 ton work van ran through a stop light and plowed in to the right passenger front / side of my jeep while i was making a left hand turn we were on the city streets.. The impact was so great that while making the left turn and being hit so hard my wife and i went through a pizza shop head on. None of the 8 air bags in my jeep went off. There is a recall for the jeeps air bags for which i did get a hold of the dealership and they told me that the recall is still open and no they do not have a fix at this time. Now reading the jeeps factory user guide the air bags should have gone off. The jeep does have seat-mounted side air bags and from reading the factory user guide it states that this vehicle may be equipped with supplemental seat-mounted side air bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. If the air bags would have gone off my wife wouldn't have got so hurt. She now has a right cervical strain, lumbar contusion, and a right clavicle fracture. Also with the head on collision into the building the front air bags should have gone off they did not. |
