I HAD JUST CAME FROM ATLANTA GA. I TURN INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND I HEARD SOMETHING POP. THAT'S WHEN I LEARN MY AIR BAG MESSED UP IT KNOCK OUT MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER. AND MY CAR HORN. IT WARP MY STEER WHEEL. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER SHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPEN I ASK THEM IF IT WAS RECALL ON AIR BAGS.I KNEW IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.BECAUSE THAT BAG SHOULD NOT HAVE MESSED UP LIKE THAT. IT DIDN'T DEPLOY ALL THE WAY OUT BUT IT MESSED UP MY STEER WHEEL AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO FIX IT. I'M STILL DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

WE WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 13, 2008. WE WERE TRAVELING EAST IN A 2004 DODGE INTREPID ON A 2 LANE STREET AND IN THE OPPOSITE LANE A 2001 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK WAS TRAVELING WEST. THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK THAT WAS TRAVELING WEST FAILED TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. AS WE CAN OVER A HILL TRAVELING AT RATES OF SPEED OF 25-30 MPH WAS WHEN THE DRIVER MADE HIS TURN. UPON IMPACT THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER OF THE INTREPID CAME OFF, SMOKING AND GRINDING SOUNDS WERE VERY LOUD. THE HOOD FOLDED UP AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLEW OFF. THE DAMAGE TO THE INTREPID WAS VERY BAD. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED IN THE INTREPID. THE POLICE REPORT LISTED THIS AS A HEAD ON COLLISION. AS OF RIGHT NOW I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE INTREPID AND HAVE SUSTAINED SOME VERY SERIOUS NERVE DAMAGE AND A SHOULDER INJURY. AS WELL AS BRUISING ACROSS MY CHEST. BUT OUR CONCERN IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR CAR WE WERE TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD WORK IN A ACCIDENT. WHICH THEY FAILED TO DO. *TR
