SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I WOULD LIKE AN INDEPENDANT REVIEW OF THE SEATBELT FAILURE. CHRYSLER INSISTS THAT A CHRYSLER DEALER REVIEW THE INCIDENT, BUT I AM NOT CONFIDANT OF AN IMPARTIAL REVIEW. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT SEAT BELTS REPLACED UNDER RECALL TWICE AND HAD ASKED FOR THE REAR SEAT BELTS TO BE LOOKED AT. CHRYSLER REFUSED. WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD I TAKE AT THIS POINT? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY OTHER SEATBELT AND OTHER SIMILAR JEEP SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY JEEP AND OTHERS. THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS LEAVING MY PARKING SPACE IN THE SECOND LINE OF CARS AND WAS PROCEEDING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS I PLACED MY HANDS, MY LEFT HAND AT NOON AND MY RIGHT HAND AT 6 AND JUST INITIATED THE TURN, I HEARD A 'CLICK' THAT CAME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. AT THAT POINT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO TURN LEFT INSTEAD OF RIGHT AND THEN INTO THE FIRST ROW OF CARS. THE IMPACT FORCED MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AND THE POSITION OF THE CAR FROM TURNING RIGHT TO A LEFT. AS I WAS PROPELLED FORWARD THE AIR BAG DROPPED AND I HIT MY CHIN AND NECK ON THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE AIR BAG WAS DOWN. LUCKILY I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON.
