On or about December 2017, a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan was traveling nb on the interstate and was hit from the rear by a larger vehicle. Both the driver and front passenger were wearing their seat belts and traveling 50-55 mph. After being impacted from the rear, the vehicle spun 360 degrees. After the spin, the van was impacted directly head on, in the front, on the passenger side, by a 4 door sedan. The air bags failed to deploy and both the driver and passenger seat belts failed to lock the occupants to their seats. This safety equipment failure allowed significant body movements of both the driver and passenger. It caused abrupt forward and backward motion of their heads, necks, backs, arms, legs and torsos, resulting in significant physical injury and emotional trauma. The driver accompanied the front passenger to the emergency room. Physical examination and x-ray evaluations were performed by a medical specialist. The passenger was diagnosed with upper spine, head and neck injuries with significant muscle pain and severe concussion. The driver had injuries to his shoulder, neck, knee, torso and back areas with significant muscle pain. Summary, had the seat belts functioned, as was advertised and designed by this manufacturer, both passengers would not have sustained such severe physical injuries, and had the air bags functioned and deployed, as advertised and designed, by the manufacturer, the driver and passenger would not have been injured in this impact-collision. History, the Dodge Grand Caravan of past years design including this 2007 model year have had similar and repeated reports of seat belt and air bag failure. Conclusion, this manufacturer knew or should have known of these safety defeats, from past settlement litigation. This manufacturer allegedly has failed or refused to correct these alleged injury causing vehicle seat belt and air bag defects.

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.

I purchased my Dodge Grand Caravan sport 2003 brand new off the lot in Nov. 2002. I kept it in mint condition with all maintenance logs filled out. At the time of incident there were only 95,000 miles on the van. It had never been in a wreck before. On Jan 18 2015 while driving in the mountains I hit black ice and lost control of the vehicle. It flipped front to back, did a 180 mid air, landed on wheels then rolled at least once to the left, landing on the wheels again. The airbags never deployed. My passenger and I both had our seatbelts on however I still lifted up and hit my head on the roof and the windshield. We are still assessing our injuries. I am extremely concerned as to how I lifted out of my seat, basically the seatbelt did not tighten to me. Also why didn't the airbags deploy? has there been a recall concerning the airbags or seat belts or other that I was never informed of?.
