On 10/15/03 I was involved in a head on collision and my air bags did not deploy. I drive a 1999 Dodge Intrepid and the other vehicle was a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. The other vehicle had both air bags deploying. The intial impact was on my driver's side headlight. The entired hood and front fender was removed. I was taken to the hospital and my injuries were a collapsed lung and 3 broken ribs. I was there for 3 days. Both the officer invetigating the crash and the body shop said that it should have deployed. I am off work for 3-4 weeks and have no vehicle now. Had the air bags deployed my injuries could have been a lot less severe.

While driving at 25/30 mph air bag clockspring module failed. This resulted in air bag, horn, and cruise control malfunctioning. Dealership replaced the clockspring.

This vehicle has been in the dealer 4 times and has 1500 miles. The major problem, was a major water leak or leaks. The vehicle has been out of service for a total of 20 days. After finding a huge puddle on the driver's side floor, dealer was contacted, and vehicle was taken apart inside and out. After dealer performed recommended repairs per technical service bulletin(980710232998), vehicle still leaked. Dealer "sealed" every screw, grommet, and wire that entered firewall. After sending car through car wash six times, vehicle appeared leak-free. It remains to be seen if the many leaks in vehicle have actually been corrected since dealer could not pinpoint the location of any leak.
