problem #1

Grand Cherokee 4WD

The main problem is that my daughter was in an accident on Nov. 12, 1998. She collided with a G20 van. The van has a small dent in the driver side door. Our Jeep is a wreck!! we are not sure if it is a total or not yet. The front is gone. The consol between the driver and passenger seats is bent and not able to close. Therefore I assume that the inside of the frame is bent. Our bumper was in the street and it was styrofoam. The air bags did not deploy!!! my daughter, who was wearing a seat belt, was thrown forward and dislocated her knee cap. I can't believe that this car folded like this. The gentleman in the other car was fine. By the looks of this car we are lucky that my daughter is alive! the other problem is that the car has been repeatedly brought back to the dealer because of mold and mildew. The seals in the windshield and the rear windows and under the car have been sealed over and over. The rug has been replaced and shampooed over and over. This car is a lemon!! this car is a lease car. I have listed us as the owners but actually it is the lease company. Please advise me as to what to do.
