I was all most injured/killed by 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 6300 miles on it when the airbag deployed on its own and caught on fire. On Sep 16 2013 at 2100 my Jeep was caught in a rain shower with the top and doors off for about 15 minutes before I got off work, I drove it home in the rain and put it in the garage to dry off, it was not that wet so I thought I would just let it air dry, my drive home was a little over four miles. Around 2200 I was in bed on the phone when I loud bag (gun shot I thought) went off in my garage and I jumped to clear my home, as I got to the garage I seen that my airbag went off and the garage ceiling was full of smoke. The steering column was also smoking (I thought it was on fire) I got it out of my garage asp, so it did burn down my home and called 911. The fire dept came and said it was out and I left it out side I covered it up with a car cover for the night. I the morning I called the 800 # to Jeep and get it towed to Jeep dealership. After a week Jeep hired inspector to read the computer. Jeep notified me that they will not say why it went off and it not there problem. Please help me with this to keep others from getting injured or killed by a faulty components note this is a Jeep Wrangler the is trail rated.

On July 19th 2013 I was waiting for the light big garbage container truck hit my back and the force I hit infront of my vehicle injuring a passenger. This was a multi vehicle accident, I was in the middle hit from my back and my front hit infront of my vehicle. During this impact my vehicle's airbag did not deploy it. I complained to Chrysler, they issue a case#[xxx] and investigate the accident. According to Chrysler they send to technician to take a sensor data from my vehicle and send to detroit for further analysis. Couple of weeks ago I received letter from Chrysler group llc. The letter contents are the purpose of the airbag is to deploy in those impacts where the accident severity is great enough and the front-end crush cannot manage all of the energy of the impact and lower the longitudinal (front to back) deceleration in the occupant compartment to the desired levels. My case I have front and back impact, my vehicle alone $17000+ damage. Chrysler refused to release the report to me unless I have a legal representative. How can I find that airbag wasn't malfunctioning and what G-force that truck hit me. If you need any information regarding these accident I will assist you with best of my knowledge.
