Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 45 IN A 45 MPH ZONE IN THE SUBURBS OF MESA, AZ SUDDENLY MY JEEP LIBERTY PULLED SEVERELY TO RIGHT CAUSING ME TO HIT A 3 FT DIAMETER POLL. AIR BAG DEPLOYED AS EXPECTED BUT THE FORCE OF AIR BAG BLEW A 8 INCH HOLE IN AIRBAG AND SEVERELY BROKE MY CHEST CAVITY AND ABDOMEN CAUSING SPLEEN RUPTURE AND BLOOD AND TOXINS IN MY SPINAL FLUID. MY IMPRESSION OF AIRBAGS IS TO PREVENT INJURY NOT CAUSE INJURY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS. WAS IN TRAUMA MEDICAL CENTER FOR 6 DAYS AND STILL HOME PAINFULLY HEALING. STEERING AND AIRBAG MAY BE DEFECTIVE. MY JEEP WAS TOTALED. HAVE NOT RECEIVED POLICE OR INSURANCE REPORT YET. STILL WAITING BUT NEEDED TO REPORT HOPEFULLY TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE INJURY
