NHTSA Complaint #10120203 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, CAME UPON AN INTERSECTION THAT A TRUCK WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN. HE STOPPED AND THAN PROCEDED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD NO TIME TO REACT AND NOT HIT THE TRUCK. I BASICALLY T-BONED IT. IT WAS BARELY MOVING AND I WAS DOING ABOUT 45 MPH. AT IMPACT. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I ENDED UP HITTING MY HEAD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND 19 STITCHES INTO MY HEAD AND SLID DOWN INTO MY SEAT ENOUGH TO RAM BOTH OF MY KNEE'S INTO THE DASHBOARD. MY JEEP LIBERTY WAS A TOTAL LOSS, $8500 IN DAMAGES TO IT. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY RESPONDED WITH THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT A CRASH WITH THIS MUCH IMPACT THAT WERE WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM.
