My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and Jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?

Approximately 3 weeks ago, my air bag light started coming on and alarming while I was driving. I looked in my owner's manual for information. It said I needed to contact my dealer. I did. The dealer, after a 3 hour inspection, gave me a diagnosis. The driver side air bag needs to be replaced. I asked how much this would cost. They gave me an estimate of approximately $1200 parts and labor. In these economic times, there is no way I can afford that. I asked the mechanic what was the worse case scenario if I did nothing. He said, "well, worse case, you are driving down the road and the bag deploys." I asked if they could unplug the system...they told me no. I can not afford to have this feature repaired. But, I also am horrified at the possibility of what could happen if the bag does deploy while I am driving. Since this is a safety feature, I would hope that the Jeep would stand behind it. A recall would help me greatly.

I purchased a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2005 from a used car dealer in albuquerque. At that time no recalls or repairs of any safety related defects were revealed to me. I received a recall in novenber 2006 for cooling fan that I had already had done. Daimler/Chrysler reimbursed me for some of the repairs done. On 4-17-07 I was North bound on unser approaching ladera, traffic was stopped at the red light. I was traveling the speed limit which was posted at 35 mph. I pressed on the brake pedal to begin slowing down and nothing happened. I then slammed my foot down on the pedal it went to the floor and I rear ended a large pickup at the intersection. The air bags did not deploy, and I did not think the seat belt engaged untill I hit the steering wheel with my sternum. My injuries were minor, and I elt the injuries of the person I hit were also minor. The reason I believed thiswas so because I was knocked unconsicience. After some advice from an attourney I checked online for any safty related recalls on the vehicle. I was not surprised to find many. Recall # 200002004 was a seat belt recall, recall # 20060313 was a brake system recall, and recall # 19991202 was a air bag recall. There were many more I am sure you were aware off. My concern was for anybody else thatwas driving one of these vehicles with their families in the car. If my wife or daughter had been in the vehicle with me I am sure their injuries would have been more severe. Please look into this vehicle, it was not safe.

I was in a car wreck involving myself and another vehicle, when a third vehicle chose to stop for no apparent reason in an intersection with a green light. We were traveling at maybe 40 miles per hour. I didn't have enough time to react and ran squarely into the back of the truck in front of me. My airbag failed to deploy. I was wearing my seat belt, but not properly, as the shoulder belt wasn't across my chest. However, when the airbag failed to deploy, my head slammed into the steering wheel, causing injury. I have contusions to my upper jaw, the lower half of my nose, my upper lip, and chin. My front teeth were knocked loose, and it is unknown yet if they will be able to recover, a root canal might have to be done. I broke a finger on my left hand, , when it was also slammed into the steering wheel. The police, emt's, and firemen on the scene were all discussing why my airbag failed to deploy. I feel like if it would have inflated I would not have any facial injuries at all. The accident just occurred yesterday, so I have yet to find out if there was any mechanical problems causing this failure.
