What owners wrote
Driving down street with no stop signs out of corner of eyes I saw a silver car speeding through a stop sign luckily I saw it early and slammed on my brakes, we hit very hard I hit steering wheel my passenger was injured too, my question is im reading that 2002 jeeps airbags go off easily why didn't mine go off, I bought the car when it was 1 year old but never checked if it had any accidents, its suppose to have airbags in the front and passenger seat, could the dealer have sold me a defective jeep.
Went to dealer to have recall notice n46/nhtsa 13v-252 resolved. "chrysler intends to inspect your vehicle and install an original equipment manufacturer (oem) trailer hitch where appropriate, free of charge (parts and labor) to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. Wanted to have this recall notice, as well as others addressed but, dealer claims that parts are unavailable in order to satisfy the recall notice. A trailer hitch is unavailable 7 months after a recall notice???!!!!.
