She seen the car coming and not stopping so she hit the brakes hard, so she didn't hit the car in front of her hard. The air bags didn't deploy and she hit her head and sustained a very bad concussion and lost the hearing in her left ear. She hit her head so hard it has a white matter spot on her brain.

At the end of last year our 2014 jeep cherokee sport was involved in an accident on I-95 in connecticut. The repair shop did not do a thorough inspection of the vehicle. At the time I told them that the passenger air bags did not deploy and that there was an air bag malfunction light on. They did not inspect this system until I went to pick the car up and the airbag warning light came back on. I waited 3 days for repairs and they did not happen. So I drove the car back to florida and took it to a jeep dealer here for the repairs. They have had my car since march and still cannot get the required repair parts from chrysler. I am wondering if there is any way I can force them to come up with the parts and fix my vehicle. In the mean time I am paying car payments on a car that I can't drive. And a car that I had to purchase to replace the one I can't drive. The insurer will not let me have the vehicle back due to safety concerns about the airbag system.
