Narrative

On [XXX], I was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision in Arkansas while driving my Dodge Challenger. The crash was severe enough that the vehicle was declared a total loss. Despite the severity of the collision and significant front-end damage, none of the airbags deployed at any point during the crash. As a result of the collision and the failure of the airbag system to deploy, I sustained physical injuries and required approximately nine months of medical treatment and physical therapy. Based on the severity of the impact and the level of damage to the vehicle, I believe the airbags should have deployed and that their failure may indicate a defect in the airbag system or crash detection sensors. I am submitting this complaint so the incident can be investigated as a potential safety defect. I am concerned that this issue could pose a serious safety risk to other drivers if the airbag system fails to deploy in similar collisions.
