AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED THEM AT APPROX. 50-55 MPH. NEITHER THE FRONT DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SAID VEHICLE NOW TOTALLED. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, FILED A CLAIM. THEY SENT A "SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR" THAT TRIED TO TELL BOTH THE BODY SHOP OWNER (WHO WAS ON SCENE OF ACCIDENT) AND MY HUSBAND THAT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED DIFFERENTLY THAN IT ACTUALLY DID. THE INVESTIGATORS CONTACT AT CHRYSLER, ROY PORTERFIELD, THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE THOUGHT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED DIFFERENTLY THAN IT DID. HE TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GO OFF UNLESS IT IS A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT. THIS ACCIDENT WAS A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL IN SAID ACCIDENT AND AFTER THREE WEEKS AM STILL IN PAIN AND NOT FULLY ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
JEEP WAS STRUCK BY A FORD ESCORT ON L SIDE, REAR DOOR & WHEEL WELL. REAR AXLE WAS KNOCKED COMPLETELY OFF JEEP, LANDING BESIDE JEEP. MECHANICS STATED THAT AXLE WAS NOT BOLTED ON, BUT ATTACHED WITH TWO METAL STRIPS, WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE SNAPPED ON IMPACT. OUR ACCIDENT WAS IN A VERY CONFINED SPACE (NEXT TO A CANYON WALL), BUT IN A CROWDED TRAFFIC SITUATION THIS COULD BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO ADJACENT TRAFFIC. THIS ALSO CAUSED ENORMOUS REPAIR COSTS & WAIT TIME (COMING ON TWO MONTHS AND WAITING).*AK
