Narrative

On July 1, 2023, I was driving on the I-20 going approximately 70 mph close to mile marker 167 in Talladega County, Alabama, when something hit my windshield causing me to swerve off the road and hitting the side railing. The the front end and the driver's side of the vehicle was smashed in and my vehicle was totaled. However, none of the airbags in my 2020 Dodge Charger ever deployed. I did not require medical assistance immediately after the accident, but my concern is that the airbags should have deployed during the accident during the accident. By the airbags not going off my safety was put at risk. If this is a problem in other 2020 Dodge Chargers other people's safety is being put at risk. The vehicle was inspected by my insurance, Progressive, for property damage evaluation. They concluded that the vehicle was totaled. There were no signs or warnings prior to the accident that there was an issue with the airbags. I have also checked for recalls using the vehicle's VIN and there were no safety recalls.
