NHTSA complaint: 1993 DODGE CARAVAN — AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
VEHICLE INVOLVED IN 1 ACCIDENT. DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY- I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT EITHER THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SPEED(MY SON WAS GOING 40MPH) OR THAT THERE WAS NO FRONTAL IMPACT WHERE THE SENSOR IS. THE FRONT END HAS MUCH DAMAGE, AS WELL AS THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE ONLY PART NOT DAMAGED WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. AFTER IMPACT THE VAN STARTED TO ROLL. I FEEL LIKE THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. WHY DIDN'T IT? *AK
