On February 5, 2010 at approximately six pm on my way to work I was involved in a head on collision. Due to the snow on the road I was not able to control my vehicle, thus leading to the accident. The front airbags in my 2004 Dodge Dakota did not deploy. The other vehicle involved in the accident a Honda CRV their front airbags deployed. After doing some research I have found that Chrysler has had previous issues with airbags failing to deploy, this is a serious safety issue and I would like to speak with a representative to discuss how this situation can be handled.
