| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2007 jeep wrangler sahara and was involved in an accident. I struck the rear end of another vehicle while traveling approximately 30 mph. There was extensive front end damage to my vehicle and damage to the vehicle i hit. The final total for repairs of my jeep were approximately $13,000. The airbag did not deploy in my vehicle causing me to hit my wrist against the the steering wheel and i suffered a moderate wrist injury that still bothers me months later. I would think with $13,000 worth of damage it would be sufficient enough to get the airbag to deploy but it did not. I believe the injuries i suffered could have been avoided if the airbag was deployed. ... Updated 08/27/15 *bf updated 12/7/2015*js |
