“Ii was in a accident and my seatbelt did not lock nor did the airbags deploy. I rearended someone at 25mph. They were stopped on the freeway. So it was a fairly hard hit. I fractured my sternum,and bruised chest,there was a big lump in middle of breastbone. Currently under a cardiologist for several tests on heart. My out of pocket expenses was $5,281 dollars,hers was minimal. I am just lucky I am not dead and she was not hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #10246390, filed 2008-10, 63,000 miles“My daughter was driving home when another vehicle made an illegal left turn in front of her. At the time of the crash, she was going approx. 40 MPH, but the air bag did not deploy, the seat belt flew off and the driver seat flew forward (and yes everything was locked in place). Because of the accident, she had a strained neck, shoulder, back and because the seat flew forward, her knees were injured. I sent a complaint to Dodge, but because the insurance company had already repaired the car, they did not want to look at the car. …”
