There was not an incident, thankfully. However, I was billed for recalls to be complete, but they were not actually completed. I have attached the receipt showing where the service department claimed they completed the recalls but Jeep Corporate states the recalls have NOT been completed and are still open recalls. This service department has been dishonest about several other issues as well.

Takata recall; s33/ NHTSA 16v-290. While travelling forward at approximately 35 to 40 MPH in a straight direction, a vehicle turned left in front of me and our vehicles collided. Unable to apply any sort of braking, my Jeep's front center and front left side struck the left front, left front quarter-panel, and driver's side door of the other vehicle. My Jeep spun approximately 45 degrees to the left before coming to a stop with the other vehicle. My airbag did not deploy as a result of the crash. I suffered injuries to my left hand, left thumb, left wrist, left forearm, left shoulder, left side of my neck, left scapula, chest, right hip, left knee, left, shin, and lower back. As of this time, I am still treating my injuries. The impact force was enough to bend my steering wheel as well.

I was driving my 2007 Jeep Wrangler sahara and was involved in an accident. I struck the rear end of another vehicle while traveling approximately 30 MPH. There was extensive front end damage to my vehicle and damage to the vehicle I hit. The final total for repairs of my Jeep were approximately $13,000. The airbag did not deploy in my vehicle causing me to hit my wrist against the the steering wheel and I suffered a moderate wrist injury that still bothers me months later. I would think with $13,000 worth of damage it would be sufficient enough to get the airbag to deploy but it did not. I believe the injuries I suffered could have been avoided if the airbag was deployed. ...updated 08/27/15 updated 12/7/2015
