I have a 2004 dodge neon sxt 4door. I was hit by a buick on the front right side and my car spun, my stomach went into the steering wheel. I was told that if I did not have my seatbelt on I would have gone through the wind shield. After I was hit I tried opening the driver side door and it could barley open. My air bags did not deploy at the impact I was hit. But I was hit very hard and my whole front end is pushed in. I am basically writing to you about my air bags.

While driving home one night on a dry 2 lane rural road, traveling in a 55 MPH zone at only 45 MPH, I swerved to miss a deer standing in the road in my lane. There was an oncoming car and I swerved back into my lane and the car fish tailed causing a counter action on my part and I hit the concrete bridge with a glancing blow, skidded sideways on two wheels on the bridge and almost flipped over. After the initial impact I realized that the airbags did not deploy. After a body shop inspected the car they discovered that the sensor had been hit and should have deployed the airbags. I am now suffering from whiplash and back strain. The car was totaled. I am now pursuing action against dodge.
