Narrative

On July 14, 2022 I was driving my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and Stopped for traffic on I-25 when a truck going at high speed rear ended me going about 40-60 MPH and caused me to hit the vehicle in front of me. The air bags failed to deploy. I had NHTSA safety recall 21V-873 done on my vehicle at my Jeep Dealer in May 2022. The Recall repair did not work as the air bags did not deploy when I was rear ended by another vehicle at a high rate of speed.
