NHTSA complaint: 1998 DODGE CARAVAN — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY HUSBAND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE BETWEEN 40 - 45 MPH AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING I WOULD HAVE HIT THE STEERING COLUMN AS I DRIVE CLOSER TO THE WHEEL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO ALL STATE THAT AT THE SPEED HE WAS GOING THE BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT WAS ALL FRONTAL, HE DID TRY TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE, BUT THE IMPACT IS FROM THE CENTER OF THE HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE IS A POTENTIAL TOTAL. *AK
