After applying brakes on rainslick road vehicle hydroplaned into the rearend of a pickup. I hit the steering wheel twice before the seatbelt 'caught'. . . . 2 broken teeth, brain trauma & concussion, mangled spine/surgery pending. First accident. No one will claim liability for the seatbelt not working and the airbag has been treated as a non-issue. My Jeep has been 'repaired' sans seatbelt. . . . Daimler-Chrysler investigation pending. All I asked, in the beginning, was for my seatbelt to be replaced. . . Not too much to ask. . . . Now I will fight as my quality of life has been compromised permanently and I should not have to argue over a defective seatbelt being replaced. . . At the very least! I am severely injured and quite frankly am angry, now, that I have to fight for what is 'right'. Please feel free to contact me at any time as my life is now homebased with the exception of numerous doctor visits.

My wife lost control of vehicle on city streets. She was going approximately 20 - 25 mph. She went into a resident yard where she hit a 8 to 10" dia. Tree and went over it. She then continued across side street and into another yard where she came to a stop against another tree approx- 6 to 8" dia. The seat belt appears to have worked as expected but the airbag did not deploy. She hit her lip on the steering wheel and required many stitches to repair it. She also had large contusions on both of her shins. The bumper was pushed into the radiator. The grill was pushed into the radiator. Both front fenders were buckled as was the hood. Why didn't the airbag deploy?.
