Side/window Air Bag Problems of Dodge Neon

The driver's side airbag deployed aggressively, with possible metallic shrapnel or fragment intrusion into the driver's body, because the driver sustained a complete transection of the right main bronchus - either from metal debris or from an over-aggressive inflation that caused severe blunt trauma to the chest.

On may 24, 2013 I was driving home from work with another employee. We were going approximately 60 mph on a highway, it was 12:15 in the morning, and it was raining. I was driving in the center lane when my passenger yelled out that the semi truck next to us was merging over into our lane and was about to hit us. I tried to move over into the third, left lane to avoid getting hit by the truck, but as soon as I did the car lost control. It started to fish tail and ended up hitting the center wall on the driver's side and then got shot across the highway and into the semi truck we were trying to avoid. The car hit the semi truck at an angle so the entire passengers side was hit and crushed, including part of the front of the car. I blacked out as soon as we hit because my head hit the top of the passenger's side doorway. I only know this because I had two large goose eggs on the right side of my head and a while after the accident we went to go see the car and a large chunk of my hair was hanging from the doorway. This is where the seat belt complaint comes in. My seat belt did not seize up during the collision and I suffered serious injuries including a concussion, broken rib, collapsed lung, hole in my lung, and lacerated liver. My passenger also suffered extremely serious injuries including concussion, both lung collapsed, multiple broken ribs, lacerated liver, broken pelvis, and broken hips. She was in the hospital for over 2 months and is still unable to walk. I make this complaint for the seat belts because I do not believe our injuries would have been as serious had they worked properly. Also, the airbags should have gone off at some point with the side frontal damage at the very least. I am uncertain whether my car had side airbags but if they did, they definitely should have deployed. I would like this issue looked into and some resolve to come from it.

Passenger side air bag randomly deployed, while going 4 miles per hour, there was no impact to initiate the deployment of airbag. The deployment busted out the passenger side airbag with such force that it blew glass to the complete other side of the vehicle.

When sliding on ice I went into the ditch at approx 30 mph. The vehicle picked up speed during the slide. The ditch was steep but narrow. My front end hit the other side of the ditch causing $6000 front end damage. Neither passenger or driver side air bag deployed! my seatbelt did not latch!! my wrists impacted the dash leaving my nailpolish on the stereo. My chest impacted the steering wheel. I could not lift my baby for a very long time. . . A year. I couldn't tie my 6 childrens shoes without pain for over two years. I still have moderate to severe pain attacks! I still do not have full function of my right wrist and typing this irritates it like crazy. My elbow was out of place. My ribs are now permanently out of place and there are injuries to my back and neck. My right side of my face goes numb and I suffer severe and frequent headaches. I am now severely depressed. I used to be an rn. I have a weight limit of 2-10 pounds with no consistent use of my right arm allowed. This is now over 4 years since my accident. Nothing was done for me. I couldn't work and had to suffer the consequences of turning my car back into the dealer. I just paid the judgment from Chrysler off this year. I am still upset to see so very many people still being injured and Chrysler off free. I wish I had an attorney willing to sue their pants off for the life changes they have given me. I previously wore a seatbelt religiously. I'm 39 now and I promise I will never wear one again since being strangled with Chrysler's belt. Dealer did nothing to remedy. Said they had no way to check these problems and found nothing wrong with the seatbelt. Disgusting! this vehicle only had 4500 miles on it and I bought it brand new. This so call recall took place in April 1999. My purchase was September 1999.
