What owners wrote
I was wearing my seatbelt traveling 30 miles per hour in my 2001 dodge intrepid es. My right font tire somehow snapped while I was traveling in a straight course and did not hit any debris or potholes while on the road. I had no control of any steering while it happened and crashed into and oncoming car at 30MPH as I said I had my seatbelt on and hit the right front side of the opposing vehicle.
Takata recall, the car had a safety bulletin for the air bag switch. The dealership confirmed a faulty airbag switch. They said the part would be ordered, no one got to me. The airbag is partially inflated.
