I received safety recall notice m35/NHTSA 12v-527. Upon contacting dealer I learned they will require my car for 4 to 6 hours, and they do not offer loaner cars, which will require my renting a car. I am on limited income and cannot rent a car for 6 hours. Do I have any other options, but to do nothing?.

I was driving down the road when my airbags exploded for no reason. There was nothing in the road, nor did a vehicle make impact. It seems the passenger side went off a split second first because it sounded like a gunshot or bomb going off, obviously scaring me and putting me into shock. Luckily I'm a good driver and was able to get over to the shoulder safely. The chemicals from the airbags filled my lungs and made it hard to breathe as well as burning my arm and hand. I didn't have a phone with me and since I was only a short distance from my house, I drove home where I would be safe and have a phone to use. I called my insurance company, filed a claim and got them to get me into a rental car. After that I still felt bad so I went to the er where they gave me a breathing treatment, steroids to open my lungs and in inhaler to keep my airways clear. I did not have xrays at the time, because I wasn't hurting very badly and they were more concerned about my breathing since I have asthma. That night, I got a headache that has not left, my spine, neck, back, shoulder, etc hurt to the point that it's hard to get out of bed for any length of time. I keep getting dizzy and I just overall feel awful. I have filed a complaint with Jeep and the vehicle is sitting in a shop right now waiting for adjusters, etc to look at it. This is a major manufacturer error and they should be held responsible for all the damage to the car, my current and future, medical, financial, etc problems from this incident. This should not have happened and they should be held accountable, especially so it doesn't happen to someone else. This is a Jeep grand cherokee with Laredo trim. Pco.

Traveling on an interstate at 0600 hrs on 03 Jan 2008 with a below freezing temperature (around 8 degrees f) and had snow flurried the night before (no more than an inch accumulated). An 18-wheeler driving center lane of a 3-lane was driving at a slow speed (65 mph limit, truck driver ~40 mph). I was also in this lane cruising at 65 mph and all though it visibility was only limited due to darkness (no snow, etc. ), I did no notice, nor did my passenger, the semi in front of us. Depth perception came in realization ~100 feet away from the rear-end of the semi. At that moment I maneuvered into the left lane and attempted to gain control of the fishtailing vehicle. Over-correcting caused the vehicle (after fishtailing back and fourth 5 times) to strike the left rear tire of the semi-truck. On impact, the airbags did no deploy. The vehicle was totaled ($10,000+ in repair costs); luckily the passenger and I had our safety belts on which resulted in no serious injuries. Nothing has yet been done with the vehicle, it is sitting in a shop right now waiting for the insurance company to progress the claim. Police report stated a 'no fault' on either driver due to temperature/weather conditions. Point on contact on vehicle (Jeep) was right front which destroyed right side of engine, computer, battery, fuses, right shock collapsed, frame is bent and right front side sheet metal is sheared back along with hood detachment. At a speed of 50 mph (after braking & maneuvering), wouldn't you or anyone else expect the airbags, a feature and cost factor of the car, be functional and work properly?.
My brother had to drive my vehicle in an emergency case. On the way to return the vehicke to me he crashed the Jeep into a telephone pole the vehicle was really damaged although with the impact the police said that the air bags should have come out but didn't at the time I couldn't afford another vehicle the car dealership would not give me another car instead they fixed the same Jeep and wanted me to continue paying on it until I was complete. I am still driving the vehicle I am really feeling unsafe in this vehicle with me and my two kids.
