The air bags on my 2003 Jeep Liberty fired randomly without external cause on March 19th while driving down a highway near Perth Ontario with my young son. Fortunately my son was not harmed but I suffered a badly sprained wrist and some loss of hearing which may or may not be permanent. The OPP investigated (occurrence #SP12064481). Chrysler refused to accept any responsibility for the malfunction.
