Description of the problem | My son and i were in front and side impact crash with another vehicle on 4/24/17 with significant damage but no airbags deployed in our vehicle. Attached are a few photos of both vehicles for reference. We were driving a 2015 jeep cherokee and were hit by a driver who hydroplaned in a 2011 hyundai elantra. The reporting officer estimated my speed at impact was 40 mph. Airbags deployed in the other vehicle but not in ours. Considering the damage to the vehicle, force of impact and estimated travel speed at impact, i feel the jeep airbags failed from a safety standpoint and would like to know how to go about investigating this further with jeep. An accident report is available but did not upload due to the sensitive information contained within (vin #'s, names, insurance policy numbers, etc); however, the report can be provided under separate cover if needed. |
