1998 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AFTER APPLYING BRAKES ON RAINSLICK ROAD VEHICLE HYDROPLANED INTO THE REAREND OF A PICKUP. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL TWICE BEFORE THE SEATBELT 'CAUGHT'.... 2 BROKEN TEETH, BRAIN TRAUMA & CONCUSSION, MANGLED SPINE/SURGERY PENDING. FIRST ACCIDENT. NO ONE WILL CLAIM LIABILITY FOR THE SEATBELT NOT WORKING AND THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN TREATED AS A NON-ISSUE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN 'REPAIRED' SANS SEATBELT.... DAIMLER-CHRYSLER INVESTIGATION PENDING. ALL I ASKED, IN THE BEGINNING, WAS FOR MY SEATBELT TO BE REPLACED... NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK.... NOW I WILL FIGHT AS MY QUALITY OF LIFE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED PERMANENTLY AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ARGUE OVER A DEFECTIVE SEATBELT BEING REPLACED... AT THE VERY LEAST! I AM SEVERELY INJURED AND QUITE FRANKLY AM ANGRY, NOW, THAT I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS 'RIGHT'. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME AS MY LIFE IS NOW HOMEBASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NUMEROUS DOCTOR VISITS.*AK
