MY FRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING TO THE MOVIE THEATER IN HER 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. HER CAR MADE A BEEPING NOISE, WHICH WAS VERY UNUSUAL BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER EVER DONE THAT IN THE 5 YEARS SHE HAS DRIVEN IT, AND THEN THE WORD "AIR BAG" POPPED UP ON HER CAR'S DASHBOARD. WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER WITH VERY CONFUSED EXPRESSIONS AND THEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG EXPLODED IN BOTH OUR FACES. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND NEITHER OF OUR FACES WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT THIS WAS EXTREMELY ALARMING AND SHOCKING FOR BOTH OF US. MY FRIEND, THE DRIVER, HAS RED MARKS FROM IMPACT ON HER LEFT THIGH AND UPPER CHEST. I AM COMPLETELY OUTRAGED BY THIS! I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH IN THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT HAPPENING IN OTHER 2001-2004 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES, AND APPARENTLY THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF AFFECTING AS MANY AS 386,873 PEOPLE. SO THE REAL QUESTION IS: WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN RECALLED?!?!?!?!? WHAT IF MY FRIEND AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT 70+ MPH ON THE HIGHWAY?!?!? WHAT IF WE HAD BEEN ON A CROWDED, BUSY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED?!?! PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED - OR EVEN WORSE, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! THIS IS NOT OKAY FOR A CAR TO DO THIS!!!! *TR
