As a result, the contact was sideswiped by another vehicle on the driver's side. The air bags did not deploy. All warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider.

Reported at 173,000 miles, February 2024 CrashInjury

I just became aware that a recall was made for my vehicle, a 2017 dodge journey. Last year I had an accident in norristown, pa after my car failed to stop or slow down while attempting to turn left with cruise control activated on a city street. My vehicle went up a hill, over a couple of fences, before stopping against a tree. A few inches further right and my 17 year old daughter might have been badly hurt or killed.
