My daughter wrecked on 4/11 and her Jeep rolled twice in which the front and side airbags didn't deploy.

I contacted Jeep and they conducted an investigation and they believed the airbag system operated properly. The wreck report and copy of Jeep's report is included.
I was driving 50 mpg on highway 1 to alaska through canada, and my side airbags deployed without any reason, and my belts blocked. I contacted Chrysler and after 10 days they told me that my car was was in 52 degrees angle at the moment of deployment and they are not responsible for it. There is even a little scratch on my car and I was driving straight when it happen.

Unschedulued airbag deployment.
On July 26, my son had a front impact wreck in his 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport that totaled the car, however neither the driver's side airbag, not the passenger's side airbag deployed. As a result of this crash, my son, who was driving hit his head on the steering wheel and required 11 stiches and my other son, who was the passenger in the car sustained a head injury requiring 8 sticthes as well as numerous impact bruises. Injuries were minimized because both sons were wearing their seatbelts.

Car hydroplaned into an embankment when attempting to stop. Luckily the rear window on the liftgate of the Jeep popped off on impact to the embankment. First defect: back of drivers seat broke causing driver to be ejected from the vehicle through the rear window of the liftgate. Second defect: airbag did not deploy even though there was damage to the front of the vehicle. Can't give true estimate for the amount of damage since all medical bills have not been provided by health providers. $ 5,412 worth of personal property (jewelry and other) lost during impact to the embankment.
