Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
I rear ended a vehicle in october and my air bag did not deploy.
The air bag light goes on and off periodically. There was concern that the air bag would not deploy when needed or, conversely, it would deploy without any warning. Took it to the dealer, he indicated that a spring needed to be replaced. As I was looking into recalls for this problem, I noticed that, although there was no recall, there were plenty of complaints. Why is this defect allowed to coninue to give consumers problems, but there is no action from the manufacturer to fix via a recall?
1. No events or lights leading up to the crash. ( lights, error message for air bag, etc. ) 2. Side impact airbag - did not go off. I was in a side impact car crash at sliding passenger door on our dodge grand caravan. 3. Over $6,000.00 worth of work done on vehicle. Nothing was done to coorect or even look into why the airbag didn't go off. Got run around from the dealership, chrysler corporate office also the auto body shop that fixed our vehicle. I was referred to the auto shop by my "reputable" car insurance company state farm.
While traveling 40-45 MPH and as a result of front end collision air bags did not deploy. Please provide further information.
