1) the driver side door is not closing completely. Upon a visual inspection I noticed that the hinge weld has started to fail. I have not taken any corrective action with this problem. I noticed that there has been an investigation with this same problem. 2) my wife was involved in an accident and the airbag did not deploy. The vehicle that she was driving was hit in the rear by another jeep cherokee travelling at approximately 30 MPH. The other vehicle jeep cherokee involved did not deploy it's airbag either. The damage to our jeep cherokee was approx $3,000 to repair. I feel that the damage was sufficient enough to warrant the air bags deployment. If there are any further questions please contact me.
