I was driving my 2005 Dodge Stratus SXT along on a gravel road on Oct 12 2008 and had a deer run out in front of me. When I swerved to avoid the deer my left front tire blew and caused my car to end up in a ditch. I was traveling approx 35 to 40 mph, neither air bag deployed and the entire front end of my car was destroyed to include the front bumper cover, both front fenders, the hood. The insurance company totaled the vehicle due to $5900 worth of damage. Now I would like to know why the air bags never deployed.
Hello, my name is [xxx]. I was involved in an motor vehicle accident on August 1 of 2008. I was driving a 2005 Dodge Stratus. My vehicle collided with another vehicle. My car sustained major front end damage. The damage was so severe my vehicle was totaled by my insurance company. My speed limit on impact was between 35-40 miles an hour. I was shocked my air bags didn't deploy. Luckily, myself and my mother was wearing our safety belts. I feel at the speed I was driving my air bags should have deployed. I called the manufacturer of the Dodge Stratus on Friday August 8, 2008, still I haven't received a response. Please assist me with this matter.
