2000 Dodge Neon Air bags Problems

“I was in an accident. Going about 65 miles an hour.. I rear ended someone on the freeway. I had my cruise control at the time.. Was a car and a half away. The car ahead of me stopped very suddenly I didn't have time to react when I hit him head on. My air bags did not deploy.”

“The word airbag stayed red. My local mechanic said the air bag would not deploy in a crash. He did not attempt to repair. As rain water is leaking into the trunk and from there into the floor of the back seat I wondered if the water seeped into the circuitry. I did not have time to bring to the dealer yet - but the air bag deployed for no reason while I was driving.”

“My daughter hit ice on a bridge going about 40 -45 MPH spun and struck the guardrail head on and while spinning hit guardrail with frontend at least one or more times, the airbags did not deploy. The car was a total loss. This happened on 2/20/2012. She hit her jaw on the steering wheel, luckily there was no broken bone just very sore. The officer at the accident stated that we should contact a lawyer about this. The car belonged to my stepmother before my daughter, and she did not receive any recall notices on this vehicle.”

“I have a Dodge NEON 2000. On the morning of january 29, 2004, my airbag signal appeared with a ringing noise for a brief moment. Later that day, the signal began to appear more often when turning my steering wheel. The following morning, I had the dealership to diagnose the problem. I was later informed 5 hours later it was the clockspring and it was not covered under the manufacture nor the extended warranty. The price to fix it would be $389. This is a ripoff. The reason consumers purchase automobiles with airbags is for the extra security. …”
