I was in a head on collision, hit at 55 miles per hour. My airbags did not deploy! I sustained permanent injuries, including a knee surgery from hitting the dash. Recently, and article hit the press about daimler/Chrysler minivans 1996-2000, airbags not deploying causing injuries. What do I have to do, to get someone to listen to me? I have filed 3 complaints, and left messages and have yet to see a complaint filed or a phone call returned. If I had died, then, maybe someone would pay attention to a problem. I would appreciate confirmation of this complaint. Thank you for your time.
