NHTSA Complaint #11120791 — 2015 JEEP COMPASS

ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO, MY JEEP COMPASS WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT WHERE I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES ALL OF THE SUDDEN, AS A DEER JUMPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE,OUT OF BUSHES. AS I WAS APPLYING BRAKES, THE ABS BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE, AS MY BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT TAP BACK, AND WHEN JEEP FINALLY STOPPED, DRIVER SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK, AS IT SHOULD HAVE, AND I HAVE HIT MY HEAD ON THE CEILING, AT THE POINT WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. THE INCIDENT HAS REOCCURRED WITH SEATBELT FAILING TO LOCK AGAIN, TODAY, 10 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO JEEP OFFICIALS, WHO HAVE FAILED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE AND APPROPRIATE ACTION IN THIS POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING MATTER. AS I HAVE EXCRETED ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES OF GETTING HELP IN THIS INCIDENT RESOLUTION,I KINDLY ASK U.S. GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CHARGE OF THIS ISSUE AND INVESTIGATE IN AN APPROPRIATE MATTER, AS I MAY BE NOT THE ONLY OWNER AFFECTED BY THE DRIVER SEATBELT FAILURE AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE POSSIBLE FATALITIES OCCUR RELATED TO SIMILAR VEHICLES BEING INVOLVED IN ACTUAL MVAS AND DRIVER SEATBELT NOT ENGAGING THE LOCKING MECHANISM, WHEN NEEDED. AS IN BOTH INCIDENTS MENTIONED ABOVE, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AS A RESULT OF BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION. BOTH INCIDENTS TOOK PLACE ON RURAL ROADS WITH AVERAGE SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. *TT *DT*JB
