NHTSA Complaint #11378468 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

ON NOV 28 2020 I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A DRY 2 WAY ROAD, WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE ACCIDENT WAS BAD ENOUGH TO FLIP THE OTHER VEHICLE AND CAUSE THEIR AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY BUT THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS CAUSED ME AND MY PASSENGER TO HAVE NO PROTECTION, OTHER THAN THE SAFETY RESTRAINTS. BOTH HAVE SUFFERED HEAD, NECK AND BACK INJURIES. IN THIS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FRONT END DAMAGE, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. NOT SURE IF THERE WAS A FAULTY SENSOR OR IF MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN APART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL LIST, LIKE MY 2 OTHERS. BUT LIVES WERE AT STAKE AND COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. *TR
