  • miles
Vehicle hit a pothole resulting in the vehicle bottom denting the oil pan and the air bags deploying. While driving on a dirt road going approximately 35 mph the vehicle hit a very deep pit hole. The vehicle bottomed out denting the oil pan and the air bags deployed. The consumer admits that he hit the pot hole rather hard but there was no front end damage. The impact of the air bag caused the consumer's left hand to hit the windshield and shatter in. As a result the consumer's left arm was burned and bruised. The consumer needs assistance getting the vehicle repaired because there is no longer a Plymouth dealer in his area.
