1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2003

On feburary 1, 2003, my daughter was driving a 2000 Jeep Wrangler at about 35 mph on a slight up-grade. She left about 20' of straight skid prior to a rear-end collision. Slight deformation to the bumper, a small dent and broken turn signal lens on right fender. She was wearing the seat belt and shoulder strap, yet sustained a broken nose and broken cheek bone from hitting the steering wheel. No airbags deployed. The shoulder strap did not prevent forward motion. Where can I get this vehicle examined and what information do you have regarding these specific devices? thank you, very much.

2 Air Bag problem

Consumer went to press the horn when it did not sound. Kept pressing the horn pad when airbag fell off. Apparently airbag was never bolted down at the factory which caused it to fall. Consumer called manufacturer, and was told that mistake happened, and there was a warranty to correct it.
