I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR ENDED A TRACTOR TRAILER. I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH AND THE TRACTOR TRAILER 55MPH. I HIT THE TRUCK EXACTLY PERPENDICULAR AND THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS CRUSHED IN ABOUT 2 FEET. THE FRAME WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM FILING THIS BECAUSE THE BODY SHOP HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WE TAKE ACTION. HE SAID THE AREA WHERE THE SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED WAS MANGLED AND THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS CHECKED BY JOHN KELTNER (LIC. # 35844). HIS REMARKS WERE THAT THE SYSTEM TEST WAS PERFORMED AND NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND AT THIS TIME AND NO REPAIRS WERE NEEDED. I AM AWARE OF SOME RECALLS WITH DODGE AND WANTED TO BE SURE THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS WOULD BE COVERED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK
