Town & Country

  • 55,990 miles
My husband was T-boned in our 05 Town and country limited by a truck carrying a double long horse trailer running a red light. The impact hit right at the sliding door on the driver's side. The glass on the sliding door and rear seats were knocked out. The metal from the van came in and formed around the edges of my 2 year old's carseat. No side airbags deployed. Chrysler sent someone out to investigate and said that the airbags were "found fully functional" and that the impact was not great enough to cause the airbags to deploy. The accident totaled out our vehicle and we feel very strongly that the airbags should have deployed. Had my daughter not been in her carseat correctly, she would have gotten crushed by the metal of the van slamming into her body. I just had our faulty airbag sensor light fixed in June 2010 (which was staying illuminated at all times) and wonder if the side airbags also weren't functioning correctly. My husband and daughter were slightly injured but it could have been better had the airbags deployed. Mileage at time of accident and total loss - 55,990.
