Six problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2007 Chrysler Aspen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall - just received recall - 3-2016. Was in accident 02-2015 involving head-on collision - air bags did not deploy - vehicle was impounded - pd as well as impound lot personnel and autobody shop adjacent all questioned why airbags had not deployed. Vehicle had to be inspected prior to my being able to remove it from pound for safety concerns. Was advised to have dealer check airbags and why no deploy. This was done and dealer advised only sensors are working. No further explanation. I have continued to drive vehicle. Then received this recall notice r25 / NHTSA 15v-313 and started do some research. I should have been notified months ago on this recall and does this defect have any effect of bags not deploying when they should? at time of collision I was traveling on city street and was rear-ended, side-swiped multiple times with eventual head-on collision - winter storm conditions / the vehicle that struck me after first impact slid uphill coming down and hitting side of car several times in a bounce off manner before head-on collision (head-on happened -before I even realized I had been struck in rear or side)- state farm claim 065v22149 - no one listened to my concerns and those expressed by pd officers and lot employees (who are daily exposed to this) about why airbags did not deploy. Also very delinquent in notification of recall.

Under normal driving the esp/bas, and traction control warning lights chime and illuminate. Chrysler dealer has diagnosed that there is a short in the clockspring, and advised me that the vehicle is unsafe to drive as I could lose control of the vehicle, and/or the air bags may not deploy in the event of an accident. I had clockspring replaced, and yes I do have the old part that is defective.
