Vehicle was moving at approximately 35 mph when it was impacted by a mid size GM auto traveling at approximately the same speed. Impact damage to the vehicle extended from the front grill area to the left side ending at the driver door. Extensive engine compartment and front driveline damage occured. Neither air bag deployed.

Michael bogner was going at about a speed of 35 to 45 mph when he lost control of his truck and hit a parked car. His airbag did not deploy and because of it he suffered neck and shoulder injuries. We contacted Chrysler Corp. To let them know. They sent out an agent, and he claims that the airbag didn't deploy because he hit an object. He went further to say that the airbag "may" have gone off if he hit a brick wall. Right now my michael and I are waiting on the report. We were promised it three weeks ago and we still not have recieved it. We both feel like something is being kept from us and would appreciate it greatly if you were to look into it.
