My wife was hit in the right front of her 2000 jeep wrangler (sahara ed.) on 12 mar 2005. I contacted damiler chrysler, and rather than reply to me, they turned it over to one of the law firms which has not satisfactorily handling the issue, nor have they contacted me since september. My wife suffered a broken neck, 4-broken ribs, a punctured left lung, a 2" laceration on her head requiring 13 staples and many cuts and bruises because the air bag did not deploy, causing her upper body to go through the window. Our hospital and air flight cost totaled more than $60k. Much of it paid by my health insurances.

On 12 march 2005, my wife was hit head-on while sitting in a turn lane in her 2000 jeep wrangler sahara edition. The air bags did not deploy, consequently, my wife went through the driver door window, suffering severe cuts and bruises, a broken neck, four broken ribs and a collasped left lung. Since then I have been in contact with daimler-chrysler but cannot get them to commit to any wrong, although they keep telling me they have their inspectors looking at it.initially, I sent them photos of the vehicle and last week those they sent me were identical as those I sent them which all show the impact, yet, they have not told me what caused the air bags not to deploy. All those injuries suffered were a direct result of non-deployment of the air bags. The other cars air bags did deploy and he suffered no injuries whatsoever. I ask of you to please give me some information as a result of this accident. Certainly, daimler-chrysler should cooperate but seem not to want to because of the cost of my wife's hospitalization and being air-lifted to the vanderbilt trauma center. Thank you for anything you can provide me.

On feburary 1, 2003, my daughter was driving a 2000 jeep wrangler at about 35 MPH on a slight up-grade. She left about 20' of straight skid prior to a rear-end collision. Slight deformation to the bumper, a small dent and broken turn signal lens on right fender. She was wearing the seat belt and shoulder strap, yet sustained a broken nose and broken cheek bone from hitting the steering wheel. No airbags deployed. The shoulder strap did not prevent forward motion. Where can I get this vehicle examined and what information do you have regarding these specific devices? Thank you, very much.
