“In 2005 while entering onto the highway going home from some personal appointments a small car hit our full size van from behind and caused us to flip over and roll over 8 times and slide at least 2 city blocks before it stopped. We were not even doing the speed limit when we were hit. The front window shattered and glass was in our eyes but our airbags did not deploy. We were stuck upside down my seat belt was stuck and my husband had to pull me out of the driver side window. I had to treat for tmj problems, stress and trauma in my neck and back for a few years and I still have some issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11112744, filed 2018-07, 73,000 miles“I got in the van in my driveway and turned the ignition switch on then I noticed that the air bag light was on. So I turned the ignition switch off waited a minute then turned it back on and the light was still on. I thought it was a fuse so I proceeded to my destination. As I arrived at my mom's house I tried to blow the horn, then I found out that my horn did not work. So I turned the van off and I called a friend who is a mechanic and he asked me if the air bag light stayed on even after I turned the van on and off I said yes then I explained everything to him. …”
NHTSA complaint #10909497, filed 2016-09, 95,000 miles“Daimler chrysler refuses to reimburse us for clockspring for a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager. We replaced the part before we had knowledge of the recall. We submitted the required information for reimbursement and chrysler said that we would not get reimbursed because we replaced the part ourselves after the recall was announced. We were not aware of recall until after replacement when we received another recall notice. We never received the first ones. I feel it should not matter if we replaced the part ourselves after the recall. …”
