MY SON WAS A PASSENGER IN HIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW. THE PERSON DRIVING IT TRIED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ENDED UP ROLLING SEVERAL TIMES. NONE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OUR CONCERN WAS SPECIFICALLY THE SIDE AIRBAGS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO DEPLOY ON A ROLL OVER. MY SON SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD FROM HITTING HIS HEAD ON THE WINDOW EACH TIME THE CAR ROLLED OVER. HE ALSO SUFFERED BROKEN CLAVICLE, SCAPULA AND HUMERUS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE PASSENGER SUFFERED WHIP LASH AND A SLIGHT CONCUSSION. MY SON IS PERMANENTLY BLIND IN HIS RIGHT EYE AND IS GOING THROUGH PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE UPON REQUEST. JEEP DID AN INVESTIGATION AND SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THE IMPACT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THIS EXPLANATION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE TO DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS THE ROLL OVER, NOT ON AN IMPACT. *TR
I LEASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 4.7 V8 IN 2006. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS THE SAME DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM DISABLES. THE STALLING OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING ALSO OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED. THE BRAKES WONT WORK AND I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 DUE TO THIS ISSUE, JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE ODOMETER IS ALSO INCORRECT, IT CHANGES NUMBERS FREQUENTLY. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND DENIED ANY FURTHER REPAIRS CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL THE SAME, IT STALLS VERY OFTEN. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
