On 4/10/2013, I was broadsided by a pick-up truck at 18th & pike streets. The glass exploded, my car then went into a backward spin. I spun about three times and then coming out of the spin crashed head on into a large SUV that was doubled parked. My car bounced off the SUV, the engine then shut down and my car continued to roll backwards. I was finally able to step on the brake and stop the car from rolling. One most important issue was that not one of my airbags deployed. My car came equipped with side airbags, passenger and a driver airbag. I purchased my car brand new and I was really happy about having this safety feature but highly disappointed when they did not work. I was also informed that nothing could be done about it because I was not paraplegic, paralyzed or dead! I found this to be a problem because other Dodge owners are driving around and may have the same problem I did. I would hope nobody has to die, become paraplegic or paralyzed for something to be done about faulty airbags. My car was totaled. I have pictures if you would like to see them.

My passenger side air bag randomly disarms and my driver's side seatbelt comes undone often. Sometime takes 2-3 times of trying to fasten seat belt to get it to secure. Cruise control has also gone out. Love my car, but not happy with all the problems popping up. It is only 4 years old.
