side impact collision and the side airbags did not deploy. i had a broken hand from the impact of hitting the door/window due to the force of the impact. The other drive ran a stop sign and hit me at approximately 45-50 MPH. Uploaded pictures show the damage to my truck, with the majority of the damage being the suspension/axle components. The point of impact on my vehicle was the driver's side front wheel.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SO FAR. STEERING WHEEL SWITCHES FOR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY QUIT WORKING. AIR BAG INDICATOR FLASHES SOME TIME. RADIO CONTROLS INTERMITTENT. CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T I SUSPECT DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING IN THIS VEHICLE. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER FIAT CHRYSLER MODELS BUT NOT THIS ONE. I THINK THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AS WELL.
