1) the driver side door is not closing completely. upon a visual inspection i noticed that the hinge weld has started to fail. i have not taken any corrective action with this problem. i noticed that there has been an investigation with this same problem. 2) my wife was involved in an accident and the airbag did not deploy. the vehicle that she was driving was hit in the rear by another jeep cherokee travelling at approximately 30 mph. the other vehicle jeep cherokee involved did not deploy it's airbag either. the damage to our jeep cherokee was approx $3,000 to repair. i feel that the damage was sufficient enough to warrant the air bags deployment. if there are any further questions please contact me. | |||

I was leaving my parking space in the second line of cars and was proceeding to move forward and then to make a right hand turn. as i placed my hands, my left hand at noon and my right hand at 6 and just initiated the turn, i heard a 'click' that came from the steering column. at that point the air bag deployed causing me to turn left instead of right and then into the first row of cars. the impact forced my hands off the wheel and the position of the car from turning right to a left. as i was propelled forward the air bag dropped and i hit my chin and neck on the steering wheel because the air bag was down. luckily i had my seat belt on. | |||
