Vehicle (2009 d. Caravan) was being driven on a city street. After having stopped at a 4-way intersection, driver proceeded into intersection at very low speed and was struck broadside on the right when a 1999 chev. Tahoe failed to stop. Tahoe speed estimated at 30-35 MPH. Rt. Side air bags deployed at which time front seat passenger (female, approximately 5' 1" ) was struck on head by airbag which moved to her left causing passenger's head to hit side window.
On october 24, 2017 at approximately 12:00 noon my van was parked with the engine off and all of a sudden both side airbags in the van deployed. No one was in the car. Car was totaled by my insurance company. I reported this to chrysler and they will not do anything about the total loss of my veichle
