Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 12 march 2005, my wife was hit head-on while sitting in a turn lane in her 2000 jeep wrangler sahara edition. the air bags did not deploy, consequently, my wife went through the driver door window, suffering severe cuts and bruises, a broken neck, four broken ribs and a collasped left lung. since then i have been in contact with daimler-chrysler but cannot get them to commit to any wrong, although they keep telling me they have their inspectors looking at it.initially, i sent them photos of the vehicle and last week those they sent me were identical as those i sent them which all show the impact, yet, they have not told me what caused the air bags not to deploy. all those injuries suffered were a direct result of non-deployment of the air bags. the other cars air bags did deploy and he suffered no injuries whatsoever. i ask of you to please give me some information as a result of this accident. certainly, daimler-chrysler should cooperate but seem not to want to because of the cost of my wife's hospitalization and being air-lifted to the vanderbilt trauma center. thank you for anything you can provide me.
