I was traveling on the highway in my 2009 town and country when a vehicle crossed the center line at a high rate of speed and struck me head on. The impact from collision left me seriously injured and I was transported by helicopter to the nearest trauma center. Neither my front of side airbags deployed in the collision. I suffered a broken arm from the side impact and a dislocated hip, pelvic fracture, and patella injuries from the front impact. I am unsure about whether or not my vehicle contained defective takata airbags, but to my knowledge, I had not received a recall. I would like answers regarding why the airbags failed to deploy.
