My mothers 2005 durango flipped 7 times in champaign co. Ohio. It killed her. The durango folded in like a pop can. And her seat belts failed. She always wore them. However the report said she did not have them on. I know she did the mark across her body at the corners showed it was on! And not 1 air bag deployed not 1. She lost controll of the vehicle and it began flipping 7 times. Hate durangos there not safe and it is the reason my mom didnt stand a chance at living threw the accident.
