Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country

Checking recalls and found NHTSA campaign number: 10v008000 involving airbag sensors. Virginia and tennesse and other northern states were listed but not north carolina. Why was that?. If this is a cold climate issue, my vehicle spends time in the mountains of nc which has a climate like northern states. Should I be worried about my air bags functioning when needed if the same make, model, and year in many other states required a recall and repair?.

I hit a power pole and a ditch at 55mph. The car went airborn, hit the pole, spun around and landed on the passenger side. No airbags deployed. I filed a complaint with Chrysler and they said that I did not decelerate fast enough for the airbags to go off. I was injured slightly but my seat belt was on. The key was jammed in the ignition and twisted and the car was shut down. The impact was that hard. I find it hard to believe that the airbags would not go off. The state trooper, insurance company and the man who owns the garage where the vehicle was towed all said in their professional opinion the airbags should have gone off. I don't know where to turn at this point. It is my understanding from what I saw on the news that the airbag sensors may be being recalled in the near future. However, I don't feel like they addressed this issue at all. I was alone in the vehicle and I was on my home from work after a 12 1/2 hour shift. I did fall asleep and was less than one mile from my home.

Advised me that it would investigate the air bags in my car (purchased one week prior to accident), but I have not heard anything yet, despite submitting a complaint on line, writing a letter and placing telephone calls. The dealer, Chrysler paramus, of new jersey, has also been uncooperative in this regard. I was advised today by the mechanic that the car repairs should be complete in another week or so. However, that only refers to the damage from the collision. The car will still have defective airbags and that is of grave concern to me.
