Two problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2008 Chrysler Aspen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. While driving at an unknown speed, the front driver's side ball joint detached and the contact crashed into a tree. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
Hit a deer traveling at over 50 mph head on and the airbags did not deploy. Damage to the car was extensive including the front bumper, grill and headlights. The deer was estimated to weigh over 200lbs. My wife and 2 small children were in the car, everyone is fine but it dawned on us afterward that the airbags did not deploy. We are concerned about the future and the functionality of the safety features of our vehicle. I have written Chrysler and have not gotten a response.
