NHTSA Complaint #10125738 — 2000 JEEP WRANGLER

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.
