| Description of the problem | I was involved in a major front end head on collision and my airbags failed to deploy. My husband was a passenger and hit the windshield. I was told by the garage where it was towed to that if my airbags had deployed they would have totaled my van out due to the extensive damage to the front end. I am very angry at dodge! Why have airbags if they don't work and fail to go off. Thankfully my husband wasn't killed. He is injured pretty bad though. Bad job dodge! You should be ashamed to put your customers lives at risk!!!!! |
