problem #1

Neon 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 20,900 miles
While driving home one night on a dry 2 lane rural road, traveling in a 55 mph zone at only 45 mph, I swerved to miss a deer standing in the road in my lane. There was an oncoming car and I swerved back into my lane and the car fish tailed causing a counter action on my part and I hit the concrete bridge with a glancing blow, skidded sideways on two wheels on the bridge and almost flipped over. After the initial impact I realized that the airbags did not deploy. After a body shop inspected the car they discovered that the sensor had been hit and should have deployed the airbags. I am now suffering from whiplash and back strain. The car was totaled. I am now pursuing action against Dodge.
