When sliding on ice I went into the ditch at approx 30 MPH. The vehicle picked up speed during the slide. The ditch was steep but narrow. My front end hit the other side of the ditch causing $6000 front end damage. Neither passenger or driver side air bag deployed! My seatbelt did not latch!! My wrists impacted the dash leaving my nailpolish on the stereo. My chest impacted the steering wheel. I could not lift my baby for a very long time...a year. I couldn't tie my 6 childrens shoes without pain for over two years. I still have moderate to severe pain attacks! I still do not have full function of my right wrist and typing this irritates it like crazy. My elbow was out of place. My ribs are now permanently out of place and there are injuries to my back and neck. My right side of my face goes numb and I suffer severe and frequent headaches. I am now severely depressed. I used to be an rn. I have a weight limit of 2-10 pounds with no consistent use of my right arm allowed. This is now over 4 years since my accident. Nothing was done for me. I couldn't work and had to suffer the consequences of turning my car back into the dealer. I just paid the judgment from chrysler off this year. I am still upset to see so very many people still being injured and chrysler off free. I wish I had an attorney willing to sue their pants off for the life changes they have given me. I previously wore a seatbelt religiously. I'm 39 now and I promise I will never wear one again since being strangled with chrysler's belt. Dealer did nothing to remedy. Said they had no way to check these problems and found nothing wrong with the seatbelt. Disgusting! This vehicle only had 4500 miles on it and I bought it brand new. This so call recall took place in april 1999. My purchase was september 1999.

While driving at 65 MPH on the freeway my left rear tire blew out spinning me out of control. I hit a road side sign (one leg of the sign 12" x 24" post) on the left front quarter panel, continuing down over a small incline and coming to rest a few yards away. My seat belt failed to retract, air bags failed to deploy and the seat failed to keep me in an upright position. All this failures resulting in my being throwing around inside the car.
