On July 27 1998 I was driving my Dodge Stratus South on state St in springville I was slowing down for a light I changed lanes to the right when my driver side airbag deployed ripping my hand off the steering wheel I stopped the car. My girlfreind and her kids where in the car. And jumped out of the car when I stopped. My arm was cut up from the cover on the airbag. I went to the hospital. Where they removed plastic from my forarm. I called the police and reported it. I called doug smith and told them what happend they looked at the car and said they whould not cover it because it was out of waranty, but I have exstended waranty they said to have my auto insurance take care of it. My auto insurance wont cover fatory defects. I was lucky I was'nt on the freeway or I would have been killed and other may have been hurt. Please look into this no one else would give me there time. Thank you.
