NHTSA complaint: 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN — TIRES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, HIT A LARGE (APPROX 6 FEET X 4 FEET X 4 FEET) WOODEN SHIPPING CRATE. THE CRATE EXPLODED, AND A BOARD BECAME LODGED IN THE TIRE WELL AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I ALSO LOST POWER THE VEHICLE - THE WRECKER DRIVER ADVISED THAT THE BOARD APPEARED TO HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COMPUTER WIRES. THE CRATE HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER FENDER. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD THINK HITTING SOMETHING THE SIZE OF THE FRONT END OF A CAR AT 60 MPH SHOULD SET OFF THE AIR BAGS. *TR
