6 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2007 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 06/19/2007

I have a 2207 Jeep Compass. My 16 year old daughter was driving down the road at a speed of 40 miles per hour and the air curtains on both side of the vehicles deployed on their own. The car stalled immediately in the road. We took the Jeep for repair and it was kept at the dealership for 29 days. They have released the Jeep back to me, but the Jeep company does not have an explanation as to whey it happened. They also cannot tell me that it will not happen again. This is my sixteen year old daughters car. If she had been on the interstate and this happened she would have been run over by traffic and killed. This car is not safe and I can't believe that Jeep would want consumers to drive a car that could kill you.
