Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING A 2001 DODGE DAKOTA, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN 2001. HE LOST CONTROL ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND WENT OFF THE EDGE OF A DITCH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND HE WAS KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT. HIS PASSENGER WAS INJURED, BUT SURVIVED. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE, AND THERE IS NO WAY AN AIRBAG SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED......UPDATED 11/14/17 *BF *TR
