Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

I was involved in an accident on June 15th, 2019. I hit a highway concrete median divider head on at approximately 60mph. The driver, passenger or side curtain airbags did not deploy.

As previously occurred, Chrysler concealed a known safety defect from its customers and then refused to help with repairs. The defective component is called the totally integrated power module (or tipm). The tipm consists of a computer, fuses, and internal relays, and is responsible for controlling and distributing electrical power to the entire vehicle�everything from steering and brakes, to the alarm, headlights, and the fuel pump. Since the tipm controls power to a wide variety of essential vehicle systems, including safety and security systems, the defect often leaves the vehicles incapable of providing reliable or safe transportation. Many class vehicles fail to start (or take dozens of attempts before the engine will turn over) because of the defect, and vehicles start up at other times only to stall, sometimes while traveling at high speeds. Vehicles also continue running without the key in ignition. The tipm defect has caused headlights and taillights to suddenly shut off. It has also caused horns to honk, car alarms to sound, and windshield wipers to activate all on their own. The tipm has also caused airbags to not deploy in some scenarios.

"takata recall" air bags did not deploy in 3 accidents I was involved in. Between 2013 and 2014 on city streets speed of other driver was 45 to 50 miles per hour. Driver james crutchfield hit me broadsided on right side of my van knocking out the window and pushing in the door. Van totaled out. - I have pictures of the van after the accident I am still trying to drive it, have not been able to repair the van.

I am writing about what I feel was a severe airbag malfunction. I was in a crash that was high enough impact to total my rental vehicle. . . Smash the front windshield, and turn the front end of the vehicle into an accordion; moreover, the accident could have ended my life. I escaped with torn muscles in my shoulders, hairline cracks in my front teeth and a broken collar bone. As the driver, I am highly suspicious about the airbags not deploying in such a high impact incident. The incident occurred when a motorist ran a redlight and ran into the front drivers side of my vehicle. Where all the other motorist in the accident had airbags deploy, the police and emergency crews were amazed that the vehicle did not respond differently in the accident.
