2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2016

I was traveling on the highway in my 2009 town and country when a vehicle crossed the center line at a high rate of speed and struck me head on. The impact from collision left me seriously injured and I was transported by helicopter to the nearest trauma center. Neither my front of side airbags deployed in the collision. I suffered a broken arm from the side impact and a dislocated hip, pelvic fracture, and patella injuries from the front impact. I am unsure about whether or not my vehicle contained defective takata airbags, but to my knowledge, I had not received a recall. I would like answers regarding why the airbags failed to deploy.

The clock spring that supplies power to the air bag is default. I am concerned my airbag will not deploy. My extended warranty company does not cover this part.

4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2013

The srs (airbag warning light) came on my 2009 Chrysler Town & Country during the last week of February 2013. I took the car into the local dealership for diagnostics. They found that the orc (occupant restraint controller) module was giving a fault code b2208 and needs to be replaced by part # 68148358aa (orc module). My own research found a 2011 Chrysler safety recall l01 occupant restraint controller module (attached) for 2008 models of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge. Page 3 calls for replacing the orc module with same part number as the one on my vehicle (68148358aa) and replace with caa3l016ab. Also a k25 recall for a drain grommet kit is called for. Only difference is the recall is for the 2008 Town & Country. The dealership said that my vehicle VIN 2a8hr44e19r502288 is not listed for the recall. I called the Chrysler group recall assistance center @ 1-800-853-1403 and they basically said the same thing as the dealership told me. Chrysler needs to honor their commitment to customer safety by including my vehicle in this recall. The same part numbers exist on both the 2008 model and the 2009 model. This tells me that Chrysler did not improve the orc module in 2009. They used the same. Therefore the same condition exists in the 2009. The safety recall l01 was issued in October 2011. So Chrysler continued to use the same orc module and drain grommet kit in subsequent models until enough customer complaints justified issuing a recall. I'm very concerned that the air bag system may not deploy or it may deploy inadvertantly until this is repaired.
