The contact owns a 2000 Dodge Durango. While driving 45 mph over ice and snow, the rear of the vehicle slipped as the contact decelerated. The vehicle landed into a ditch and then flipped over. The air bags never deployed. A police report was filed. He believes that if the vehicle flipped over, the air bags should have deployed. The failure and current mileages were 78,000.

My wife was driving our 2000 Dodge Durango. My daughter who was seated in the rear passenger seat screamed causing my wife to turn and look then hitting a concrete pad housing a approximately 30 feet pole from the target parking lot. There is approximately $9000 damage and my wife had to be taken by paramedics to a local hospital. Her head hit and broke the visor and visor arm and then the steering wheel due to the air bag not deploying. A Chrysler inspector has inspecting the vehicle and determined there was nothing wrong with the airbags which I have a hard time understanding.
