Dec 30, 2015 I was broadsided by a van in my drivers side door causing my vehicle to roll over several times before crashing head on into a sound wall. I was pinned in the vehicle upside down with my right leg pinned up under the dash. The side curtain airbag deployed at the moment of impact, how ever my drivers airbag and knee bolsters did not deploy causing me to impact the steering wheel with my sternum and smashing both knees into the dash which caused my right leg to be pinned up underneath the dash. The terrible pain I had to suffer and still to this day experience was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. We complied with the safety recall we received regarding the airbags, but on 3 different occastions of taking the Jeep into the dealership for warranty repairs they never performed the required safety recall repair. I was told that they were still waiting on the software program from Chrysler. The dealership in which the Jeep was purchased was: Turlock Chrysler Dodge/Jeep 1600 auto mall drive turlock, ca 95380 209/ 250-5800 purchase date: September 20, 2014 I was traveling westbound on briggsmore avenue doing 43 mph when I entered the intersection at rose avenue I was broadsided on my drive rside door by a lady who ran the red light doing approximately 40 mph causing me roll over a couple of times and spin out of control until I crashed head on (upside down) into a sound wall, then bounced off the wall and crashed again through the sound wall with the rear end of my vehicle finally coming to a stop, I was pinned in the vehicle, upside down and my right leg was pinned up under the dash. The drivers side curtain airbag deployed at impact, however none of the other airbags deployed causing me to fully impact my chest into the steering wheel, and smashed both of my knees into the knee bolster part of the dash, wedging my leg up underneath the dash

Grand Cherokee

  • 5,700 miles
On August 15th 2015, I brought my vehicle in for a recall that I received in the mail, on the letter it states it is for orc module, so I went into the dealership ray brandt Dodge, Jeep on westbank expressway to have my recall taken care of, well prior to bringing in my car I called them twice to make an appointment to have my car serviced, they informed me that I did not need to make an appointment just to bring the vehicle in for the recall. I brought that car in the Saturday of August 15th to be informed that I needed to make an appointment and they were backed up, I informed them that I had called twice to make sure I got my car taken care of and got this recall item taken care of, they could not service me and told me I had to make an appointment so I left with my car not being serviced and driving my vehicle with a known recall that I brought my car in for, on August 27th I had a car accident, ,my car is still not been serviced for this known recall code R05, and now I have had an accident in my car which has me shook since I know that there is a issue with my car. I am writing this complaint because I think it is horrible the way that dealership treated me and I could be in a different situation and not be able to write this complaint. I do not know if this will do or change anything but I thought it should be heard.
