I QUICKLY PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK JUMPED OUT AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL OUT OF THE GAS STATION ONTO THE STREET HITTING SOME LOCAL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS NEARBY EQUIPMENT. THE REAR AXLE CASE WAS ON FIRE. I GRABBED A C02 TANK FROM THE GAS STATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE FIRE. THE DETROIT FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME TO COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE..INSURANCE TOTALED IT..FRONT END COLLISION..AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR HAD 88,000...MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2005 FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN ALBUQUERQUE. AT THAT TIME NO RECALLS OR REPAIRS OF ANY SAFETY RELATED DEFECTS WERE REVEALED TO ME. I RECEIVED A RECALL IN NOVENBER 2006 FOR COOLING FAN THAT I HAD ALREADY HAD DONE . DAIMLER/CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME FOR SOME OF THE REPAIRS DONE. ON 4-17-07 I WAS NORTH BOUND ON UNSER APPROACHING LADERA, TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. I WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS POSTED AT 35 MPH. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I THEN SLAMMED MY FOOT DOWN ON THE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I REAR ENDED A LARGE PICKUP AT THE INTERSECTION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I DID NOT THINK THE SEAT BELT ENGAGED UNTILL I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY STERNUM. MY INJURIES WERE MINOR, AND I ELT THE INJURIES OF THE PERSON I HIT WERE ALSO MINOR. THE REASON I BELIEVED THISWAS SO BECAUSE I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSICIENCE. AFTER SOME ADVICE FROM AN ATTOURNEY I CHECKED ONLINE FOR ANY SAFTY RELATED RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOT SURPRISED TO FIND MANY. RECALL # 200002004 WAS A SEAT BELT RECALL, RECALL # 20060313 WAS A BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL, AND RECALL # 19991202 WAS A AIR BAG RECALL. THERE WERE MANY MORE I AM SURE YOU WERE AWARE OFF. MY CONCERN WAS FOR ANYBODY ELSE THATWAS DRIVING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THEIR FAMILIES IN THE CAR. IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER HAD BEEN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME I AM SURE THEIR INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SEVERE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS VEHICLE, IT WAS NOT SAFE. *AK

ON JAN. 10, 2007, I WAS IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY JEEP WAS SMASHED AND I HAVE TO GET A WHOLE NEW FRONT CLIP FOR IT. ALSO, THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THIS TYPE OF COLLISION. *NM

I WAS IN A CAR WRECK INVOLVING MYSELF AND ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHEN A THIRD VEHICLE CHOSE TO STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON IN AN INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN LIGHT. WE WERE TRAVELING AT MAYBE 40 MILES PER HOUR. I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REACT AND RAN SQUARELY INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT, BUT NOT PROPERLY, AS THE SHOULDER BELT WASN'T ACROSS MY CHEST. HOWEVER, WHEN THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, MY HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING INJURY. I HAVE CONTUSIONS TO MY UPPER JAW, THE LOWER HALF OF MY NOSE, MY UPPER LIP, AND CHIN. MY FRONT TEETH WERE KNOCKED LOOSE, AND IT IS UNKNOWN YET IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER, A ROOT CANAL MIGHT HAVE TO BE DONE. I BROKE A FINGER ON MY LEFT HAND,, WHEN IT WAS ALSO SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE POLICE, EMT'S, AND FIREMEN ON THE SCENE WERE ALL DISCUSSING WHY MY AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. I FEEL LIKE IF IT WOULD HAVE INFLATED I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY FACIAL INJURIES AT ALL. THE ACCIDENT JUST OCCURRED YESTERDAY, SO I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING THIS FAILURE. *JB

ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF THE VEHICLE AND NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES TO HER. MY TWO CHILDREN, AGES 3 AND 4, WERE IN THE VEHICLE, PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN CARS EATS AND INCURRED NO INJURIES. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AND HIT THE REAR END OF A TRUCK PARKED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE MAJOR ROAD. THE IMPACT TOTALED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE OF AIRBAGS IN A HEAD-ON IMPACT AT 40 MPH WOULD SEEM TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE MANUFACTURE AND PERHAPS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE MODEL OR IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *JB

I HAD JUST TURNED RIGHT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, DRIVING SLOWLY FORWARD IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA, WHEN MY ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY STUCK. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS MY CAR HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED, CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION WITH 2 ADDITIONAL CARS. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I BELIEVE THE ONE I HIT DIRECTLY WAS TOO...I WAS TICKETED FOR CARELESS DRIVING EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THE POLICE WHAT HAD HAPPENED...A YEAR LATER I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL REPORTS ABOUT MY VEHICLE, A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE SUBSEQUENT LAWSUITS FILED BY 3 OF THE 4 VEHICLES HIT RESULTING FROM THIS ACCIDENT... *JB
