We received a recall on the air bags in August of 1999. Took the van to audubon Chrysler center in henderson, ky. To be checked out. We were turning into our driveway when a car topped the hill hit us. The police, the wrecker driver, and the body shop getting us an estimate, could not understand why the air bags did not activate. They had to haul our van on a flatbed truck could not tow it in. My husband has a bruise across his stomach and a knee bleeding and bruised. I have a cracked rib plus bruises and foot and knee bruises. Bobby missed two days work, and I haven't worked since the wreck on the 30 of November. Today is the 9 of December. My question is how many 95 vans are there out on the road with the sma air bags problem" would there be any surivors if their air bags don't go off" a very concerned customer.
