On September 29, 2014, I was involved in a mva. A lady failed to yield at the stop sign and I t-boned her as I proceeding through the intersection. The impact total my vehicle completely but none of my airbags deployed. There were no serious injuries from the accident but this has made me hesitant about purchasing any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep vehicles. I was told by my attorney that since there weren't any major catastrophe's an investigation into the airbags would cost to much money for the firm. I want people to see how invaluable their lives are when we spend our money on manufacturers products. A person has to loose a limb or die in order for an attorney to do what they are getting paid for.

My car is a lemon and I want to be refunded, either a new car or my $25,000 cash that I paid for the car in 2010. Now my car is being recalled for dangerous air bags!!! Also all of my tire pressure sensors are defective. My car's brakes are warped! On a highway in motion my brakes make noise and the steering wheel shakes! The tire pressure sensor light stays on and doesn't go out on the dashboard.

My brother was driving my vehicle when we came off of a bridge too fast and tried to take a corner but didn't make it we crashed through a crosswalk and into side of building air bags did not deploy we both suffered concussions, bruised body, and back.
