NHTSA Complaint #11090433 — 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

TAKATA RECALL: 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IMPACT W/DEER FRONT CENTER/RIGHT AND RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL. ON A STATE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION COMING DOWNHILL DOING 55MPH AND BRAKED HARD - PUMPED ONCE TO TRY TO AVOID IMPACT WHEN I SAW DEER. HAVE NOT ACQUIRED SRS DATA. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGER SIDE. DEER GOT AIRBORNE AS MY VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION. THE DEER WENT OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDOW. THOUGHT HER HOOF WAS COMING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. FELT IT UNSAFE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I TOOK IT IN TO BODY SHOP AND THE ESTIMATED $2,000 TURNED INTO OVER $6,000 BECAUSE THE FINS ON THE RADIATOR WERE BENT. THOUGHT THE SENSORS SHOULD HAVE DETECTED THE SPEED AND FORCE OF IMPACT BUT PERHAPS THE INERTIA AND MOVEMENT OF MY VEHICLE NOT STOPPING IMMEDIATELY AND ATTEMPTED BRAKING DID NOT WARRANT A "SEVERE" IMPACT?!
