Description of the problem | Was involved in a collision wherein i was "t-boned" on the driver's side door/pillar while crossing a four lane intersection. My vehicle subsequently flipped multiple times before coming to a rest. I was able to crawl out of the car with my dog via the rear passenger side door. Not one single airbag deployed during the incident, including the side-impact airbags form the collision itself nor the side curtain airbags from the multiple rollovers. When i asked jeep to investigate, i was sent a letter essentially saying: "your accident wasn't severe enough to warrant airbag deployment." - this despite, as i said, it being a multiple rollover event. My injuries consisted of soreness on my left side, a laceration on my right hand, and a heck of a bump on my head. Needless to say, i was extremely fortunate my injuries weren't worse; however, myself and practically everyone else including the officers and emts were baffled at the fact that not one single airbag deployed. I have photos of the vehicle after the wreck showing exterior damage as well as interior shots showing no airbag deployment. *tt |
