NHTSA complaint: 2003 JEEP LIBERTY — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY SON WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE CAR ACCIDENT. MY SON WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP CURVE ON A 2 LANE ROAD WHEN HE NOTICED A CAR APPROACHING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE FRONT PASSENGER OF MY SON'S CAR ESTIMATED THEIR SPEED AT 50 MPH. THE APPROACHING VEHICLE SCARED MY SON AND HE JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND HIT HIS BRAKES. THE 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SKIDDED HEAD-ON INTO A DITCH AND THEN FLIPPED END-OVER-END TWICE. MY SON AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES. NO DOUBT THE SEAT BELTS SAVED THEIR LIVES BUT THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *JB
