What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 dodge challenger. While driving approximately 20 MPH he crashed into a vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The driver in the other vehicle was injured. The vehicle was towed to a towing company but was not examined for the cause of failure or repaired. The failure and current mileages were 23,000.
I have experienced numerous breathing difficulties, I suspect have been caused by the air blowing out the vehicles ventilation system... I regularly develop chest pain in my breast area and migraine headaches after being in the vehicle for an extended period. I have reason to believe that the vehicle had been tampered with prior to my purchase . I've recently discovered false information related to the ownership of the car, through a carfax search
