I was in an accident in October 2002 with my 2002 Jeep Wrangler x. I hit the person in front of me going about 40mph, and was then hit from behind. Neither airbag deployed, nor did the seat belt tighten. I hit my head on the stearing wheel. I tried to file a complaint with daimler-Chrysler corporation and was told since my vehicle was already being worked on there was nothing they could do about. I was in another accident August 8, 2003. Someone pulled out in front of me on the highway and I hit him going about 55 mph. The airbags again did not deploy. I am trying to get an answer out of daimler-Chrysler again and they keep giving me the run around about it.
