On Friday, 30 Oct 26, I was sitting in 2003 Jeep Liberty on my work break, car was running but in park, and without warning my two front airbags deployed striking me in my left hand, forehead and right knee/thigh. I was taken to a local urgent care where the attending physician examined my injuries and determined that I had a sprained left hand, chemical burns on my left hand and right knee/thigh and cut on my forehead. In addition have experienced significant neck and head pains.

As a direct result of this spontaneous deployment while driving, I have sustained physical injuries, including: • Trauma and injury to my wrist and thumb from the physical force of the deployment. • Severe acoustic trauma resulting in persistent ringing in my ears (tinnitus). Due to the severe safety risk, property damage, and physical injuries caused by this documented manufacturing defect, I am demanding that FCA/Jeep Corporate immediately: 1. Open an urgent safety investigation file regarding this VIN. 2. Provide instructions on where to have the vehicle towed and inspected by an authorized corporate representative to preserve the computer and physical evidence. 3. Establish a direct point of contact within your corporate claims/legal department to discuss compensation for my medical expenses, towing fees, and property damage. Please contact me immediately at the phone number or email address listed below to confirm receipt of this notice and provide my corporate case file number.

Original right side lower ball joint broke at 59,000 miles.
I was backing up in a yard and the front passenger wheel folded up underneath the vehicle. I went to look and noticed that the ball joint had completely separated from the joint. This caused damage to my front passenger panel and fender.
