My wife jessica and son andrew were traveling on interstate 80 East bound the day after christmas 2004 when we hit a patch of ice and were thrown off the road, down a bank and struck a tree head on at a speed of 40-50 mph. Our air bags did not deploy and our seat belts did not lock up. I was in the passenger seat and was thrown forward towards the window and my wife flew up and hit the grab bar on the drivers side. I contacted Jeep and was told that an air bag should not have deployed. My mechanic had told me that there was enough force to deploy the air bags. I do not feel safe in this vehicle any longer.
