My 2005 Dodge Stratus was in an accident on 4/14/06. The car that hit my car was going 55 mph hit my car from the back. My car was going 45 mph and from that hit was propel into the car in front of it and the car in front of me hit the car in front of it. My car was assessment was determine total. The question by the police and the insurance company is why the airbags did not come out. My front nor side airbags deployed. I am concern that this car has a manufacturer defect, which could have cause lives. I am requesting an investigation into this matter. Please contact me for additional information. Thanks you.
