2012 Dodge CHALLENGER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	919712
Internal NHTSA #	10458059
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	CHALLENGER
Model Year	2012
File date	25/04/12
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was rearended, (at 4200 miles on my new vehicle), while at a dead stop for a traffic light by a ford f250 pickup truck traveling at 45 mph pulling a utility trailer hauling approximately 6000 - 7000 pounds which hit my 2012 dodge challenger in the right rearend pushing me into the back end of a nissan altima, and not one of the air bags deployed in my challenger. I had a prior problem with the challenger at approximately 2300 miles on the vehicle where the air bag warning light came on and had the vehicle serviced at the dealer to fix the problem they said was a faulty wiring harness from the factory in the drivers seat for the air bag system, and after the dealer replaced said faulty wiring harness it turned the warning light off prior to this accident. The accident occurred at 4200 miles on my vehicle causing extensive damage to the rear and major damage to the front of the vehicle from the impact. Again not one of the air bags deployed. The dealer service department also stated to me when i had the vehicle in for repair of the warning light prior to the accident that they were having this problem with all of these new challengers of a faulty wiring harness from the factory causing the air bag light to come on. I can only be led to believe at this time that the problem is not only the wiring harness but that there is a much bigger problem in the air bag system malfunctioning during my being rearended and pushed into another vehicle in front of me and not one air bag in my vehicle deployed in this accident. This is a very serious issue and life threatening and now i am stuck with a vehicle that is less safe than stated it is.
