What owners wrote
On 2/15/02 my wife michelle with son joseph, (8yrs old) seated in the rear passenger side of a 2000 jeep, struck the passenger side of a 1999 4dr oldsmobile operated by frances clark who had failed to stop at a stop sign. Michelle hit the side of the clark car "head-on" while travelling 52 MPH on a dry night at 8pm. The air bags failed to deploy on our 2000 jeep. Chrysler has inspected the vehicle and stated that there is "...no manufacture's responsibility". They refuse to do anything further!
