Description of the problem	The van was parked in the driveway of our home. It was running, as my wife was warming it up in preparation for taking our children to school. My eldest son, age 7, was sitting in the third row seat closest to the passenger side window. When my wife closed the passenger front door, the side curtain airbags deployed. The vehicle was not involved in any collision, as it was stationary at the time of the deployment. And while my son did not receive any physical injuries, he continues to struggle with the fear and stress caused by the incident. The vehicle was towed to transitowne dodge and inspected by both the dealer and by a chrysler inspector. Via letter, i was informed that the company had no intentions of covering the costs of repair to the van, which are upwards of $6000. I have reached out to fca group repeatedly by have been met with dead ends and non-starters. I am filing this report to hopefully prevent others from a similar experience and the possibly of more severe injuries.
