I was in a crash which had an impact enough to split the front bumper almost in two enough to jolt me as well as have my right hip/back so far hurt for two weeks, yet the air bag never deployed. I was in motion going through a green light when a pickup truck turned left on a red in front of me. I was going about 35 MPH.

The air conditioner freeze plug, rubber part melted and blew out from the engine. I have saved it.. I was told by a mechanic that the type of plug with rubber could cause continuous blowout and that should not happen based on the 18,428 miles that was on the car which was purchased new on 12/24/2011 with 63 miles on the odometer at the time. Fortunately, the car basic warranty is still valid to help with the repair cost after towing it to a chrysler dealership that is an authorized warranty repair shop.
