Description of the problem | My 2011 dodge challenger was in a head on accident. The impact push the motor under the dash, cracked the transmission, crumbled the front of the car almost to the windshield. The challenger has an air bag on the seat, well that air bag; nor the air bag on the windshield pillar or the steering wheel or passenger air bag deploy. Not only did the air bags fail, but the seat belt did not lock to restrain a person from avoiding injury. This is my second challenger, my first challenger had a bad paint job and this one could of cost me my life. I have the vehicle, awaiting for dodge to inspection the defects. It has been 5 days and i have yet to hear from dodge nor are my calls being returned. |
