I WAS DRIVING FROM ARKANSAS TO TEXAS AND WAS APPROXIMATELY TEN MILES FROM MY DESTINATION WHEN THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT ON A NARROW TWO LANE HIGHWAY HITTING THE APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT TALL CONCRETE BRIDE SIDE. IT WAS MISTING RAIN AND THE CAR KEPT PULLING RIGHT AND THEN STARTED TO GO INTO A SKID. I TRIED TO STEER TO STOP SKIDDING AND SPUN AROUND INTO THE DITCH AND ROLLED. ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS AND THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OR FROM THE DASH OR STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, SIDES AND TOP. THERE HAD BEEN PRIOR WARRANTY REPAIR TO THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG BY ORR DODGE OF SEARCY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT HAD COME ON IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
