MY FAMILY WAS IN A VIOLENT CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING OUR 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WE WERE HIT "HEAD ON " IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY AN SUV GOING BETWEEN 60-80 ACCORDING TO STATE POLICE. THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN BY THE IMPACT THAT INCLUDED FLYING GLASS, METAL FRAGMENTS ETC. THE AIRBAGS DID COME OUT, BUT DID NOT INFLATE AND JUST CAME DOWN LIKE A "CAPE". THEY WERE USELESS IN PREVENTING ANY BODILY INJURIES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND INJURED HER LEFT SHOULDER, HER BACK AND UP INTO HER NECK. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HER HEAD PRETTY BAD. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT MY KNEE, WRIST AND SHOULDER. MY SON WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HIS BACK. WE WERE GOING 30 MPH IN RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR WAS SPEEDING DOWN THE MIDDLE LANE AND LOST CONTROL AFTER CLIPPING A CAR, SEVERAL BEHIND US. WITNESSES SAY HE WAS GOING 100 MPH. WE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 07 DURANGO FOR AIRBAGS, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL CRASH.

OVER A MONTH HAS PASSED SINCE WANTING TO FIX THE RECALL AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DODGE. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THE DODGE BEFORE THE AIR BAG IS REPAIRED?
