What owners wrote

I was hit on my passenger front, while attempting to cross into a parking lot, so hard until my tire rod bent at a 90* angle. My passenger airbag didn't deploy. None of my airbags deployed. There was no blind spot warning. Even after the impact, there was no alarm or notification of the damage, as the firemen were attempting to drive my car out of the road.

I have a 2012 jeep liberty. The sky slider has never sealed properly since I purchased it. I took it into jeep 3x for wind noise complaints (you can barely hear yourself talk inside the car when you are driving over 40MPH) and each time I was told there was nothing wrong. About 6 months ago the sky slider roof stopped operating. I took it to jeep to be fixed but they told me "you are lucky it is closed. Leave it closed. We have some in the back of the shop that are stuck open and we can't get replacement parts".
