NHTSA complaint: 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY — AIR BAGS
ON MARCH 16, 2008 I WAS HIT HEAD ON IN MY MINIVAN BY SOMEONE DRIVING AN SUV THAT WAS TRAVELING APROX. 55 MPH ON A 2 LANE HWY. I BELIEVE THAT UPON IMPACT ALL OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY MINIVAN DEPLOYED INCLUDING THE KNEE AIR BAG THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN. MY LOWER LEGS HAVE SUFFERED (WHAT IS MOST LIKELY) PERMANENT PAIN/DAMAGE FROM THE CRUSHING IMPACT OF THE PLASTIC PART OF THE DASH AND THE KNEE AIRBAG. I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY LOWER LEGS AND MY ANKLE AREA. I AM STILL TREATING WITH MEDICATION AND STILL SUFFERING PAIN ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BEEN TO MAYO CLINIC AND STILL CANNOT FIND ANY "FIX" TO THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE AIR BAG. I HAVE HAD SURGERY ON BOTH LEGS AND STILL NO RELIEF. PLEASE HELP, I THINK THE KNEE AIRBAGS ARE DANGEROUS AND THE MFG. DOES NOT EVEN MENTION THE AIRBAGS EXISTENCE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR
