What owners wrote
Other vehicle crossed over yellow line and hit our car from the middle of the vehicle on drivers side all the way to back and knocked off the back drivers wheel and sent us spinning around into and wrapped around telephone pole. My legs were pinned under dash and couldn't move, passenger door had been badly damaged and pushed in about one foot. Had to be cut out of the car to get me out, taken to er. My complaint is that none of the air bags deployed which I find quite odd.
NHTSA through mail advised us to take car to a chrysler dealership and have them change airbags. We did. June 14,2018. On november 3,2018 when pulling into a parking spot the airbag on the steering wheel blew up in my face injuring me and burned me and cut me. Paramedics came and I went to emergency room. Not life threatening but 2 weeks in pain and not able to work and ringing in my ears for a week.
