1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2017 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 02/24/2020

I was about two car lengths behind an 18 wheeler on hwy 231 south bound in montgomery, alabama. I went to get over to the left to pass, when my vehicle started to hydroplane and sway side to side. My front right side of my vehicle impacted the back right corner of the 18 wheeler. My vehicle then flipped on its side, then upside down. My side airbags did deploy, but my steering wheel nor front passenger airbag deployed. The 18 wheeler did not stop, maybe it did not feel the impact. It was a wet and stormy morning on 2/24/20, @ approximately 5:25-5:27 a. M. . The reason that I did not pass the 18 wheeler earlier was due to standing water in the left lane. I was taken to baptist south medical venter by my mother in law, in which I had a CT done on my neck, and an x-ray on my left shoulder. I also made an appointment for Wednesday 2/26/20 for pain and spasms. My complaint is that the vehicle's impact was in the front, and the airbags did not deploy in the front. I would like there to be an investigation as to whether they should've deployed, and if why didn't they in such an severe accident.

26 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2008 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 06/20/2015

I had not been notified by the dealer that my car has been recalled. I never received any letter as they said. I found out just by chance on google since my car was acting up way too much. My car is turning off while I am driving on multiple occasions! I have two kids and I was driving at 40 mph. I had to use the e-brake to stop because the power steering didn't work and my power brakes didn't work. At times my car will turn on every light on the speedometer but absolutely nothing is wrong. I asked the manufacturer if they could issue me a rental and they said no. My wife got into an accident a couple of months ago, March, 2015, (we have documents) and good thing it wasn't a severe accident since now we know the air bags will not deploy. Someone hit my wife, it wasn't because of the electrical problems at that time. This car is a casket for my whole family and I suppose they are waiting for a lawsuit first before they do anything. Not only is this car recalled, they don't have the parts yet to fix it! sometimes my car won't even turn on and we get very hot in the car, I keep trying because starts up after a while and my kids and I are stuck in the heat, mind that my kids are 10 months and 2 years old.
