Purchased the car brand new had 500 miles on when it was involved in passenger front collision and the airbags never deployed.he car was traveling around 40 MPH when a vehicle pulled out in front of it causing a total loss . We contacted dodge and they sent a inspector out to recover the 'black box' we were never contacted with what the findings were or the reason the air bags never deployed.
I had a car accident on 1/29/24 .Regarding to my car damages . Airbags did not deploy during the accident.I believe my speed was 29-35 mph typically airbags deploy when the crash is the equivalent of an impact into a rigid wall at 10-12 mph.is anything we can do here please? Wasn’t my fault another car moved on the red light during intersection and mine was green and hit my car .
Vehicle was hit broadside in the left front wheel area, driving at approximately 30 MPH, the other vehicle was turning left across two lanes. The airbags did not deploy resulting in neck and shoulder injuries. The suspension was severly damaged along with significant body damage
I arrived home and parked my car under my carport at 8:30 p.m. At 12:20 a.m. I heard loud popping noises and smelled smoke. I went outside to see my 2019 dodge durango with 9,012 miles on fire. The hood of the truck was fully engulfed with fire. This fire caught onto the house and my neighbor's home.
Headlights would come on when the headlight switch is in the off position while in park and while in motion, and stay on; during night time driving headlights would intermittently go off in the on position while in motion. Several attempts by dealer repair personnel to find a remedy were unsuccessful. It was later discovered that the aftermarket remote start installed by a third party was wired incorrectly. The dealer installed a factory remote start and the issue appears to be resolved.
