I was on my way to work headed south on I-69 in fort wayne, indiana. I had just passed the indiana state road 14 underpass when a semi truck tire and rim (the whole thing) came off a semi truck and rolled across three lanes of traffic where my jeep hit it. It hit the front passenger side of my jeep. Directly in the front but the right half of the bumper/front end. The tire then went under my car where it forced me to slide in to the cement median in the middle of the highway hitting my driver side front bumper at about 35 miles an hour or so. My airbags did not deploy.

Local jeep dealer key - moline, il) further damaged my vehicle while attempting to install safety recall n45/the federal safety agency 13v‑252. The rear bumper attaching studs were twisted of the frame while preparing to install the (recall required) tow hitch to improve protection of fuel tank from a rear end collision. The safety of my vehicle has been further degraded - key dealership has contacted chrysler - however, no solution has been presented to me to date. Meanwhile, I do not feel safe transporting my family in such an unsafe vehicle with a loose and rattling bumper!
