| Description of the problem | On july 19th 2013 i was waiting for the light big garbage container truck hit my back and the force i hit infront of my vehicle injuring a passenger . This was a multi vehicle accident ,i was in the middle hit from my back and my front hit infront of my vehicle. During this impact my vehicle's airbag did not deploy it. I complained to chrysler ,they issue a case#[xxx] and investigate the accident. According to chrysler they send to technician to take a sensor data from my vehicle and send to detroit for further analysis. Couple of weeks ago i received letter from chrysler group llc. The letter contents are the purpose of the airbag is to deploy in those impacts where the accident severity is great enough and the front-end crush cannot manage all of the energy of the impact and lower the longitudinal (front to back) deceleration in the occupant compartment to the desired levels. My case i have front and back impact,my vehicle alone $17000. 00+ damage. Chrysler refused to release the report to me unless i have a legal representative. How can i find that airbag wasn't malfunctioning and what g-force that truck hit me. If you need any information regarding these accident i will assist you with best of my knowledge. |
