Air bags: “The contact was driving a 2006 Dodge Viper. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the rear differential locked, causing the rear tires to not rotate. The rear of the vehicle then skidded and crashed into a ditch, and flipped, coming to a stop 100-150 feet upside down in the ditch. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact mentioned that the rear differential was previously serviced at a dealer. The contact sustained neck and back injuries. Medical attention was later required. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location. …”

NHTSA complaint #11704239, filed 2025-12, 13,378 miles

Suspension: “I started hearing a clunk that seemed to come from the passenger side rear wheel well when starting from a stop. I pulled all 4 tires off to grease the car. On the rear passenger side, it appears that the rubber boot on the suspension knuckle is leaking and may be torn. I can't be sure at this time if the suspension knuckle is damaged. Although my vehicle is out of warranty, the mileage is very low (10,300 miles). I started to research on the internet for any known issues and came across the NHTSA investigation on viper suspension. …”
