2007 Dodge Magnum Airbags Problems

Son drove my car and lost control as it sprung out of control and he hit a tree. No airbags deployed during that impact. My insurance company totaled my car out but really didn’t give a reason as to why they didn’t deploy with such a hard hit. Police impounded my car and insurance company inspected my car for a settlement. I asked them why and I said I had to take it up with the manufacturer. He walked away with miner cuts. That could have resulted in his death.

Front passenger and driver airbag recall, stop driving recall. Called the FCA manufacturer to find my recall options, they claim the dealer I requested won’t tow to dealership?? Sounds absurd with the stop driving recall.

CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. WHY ARE THERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVERS LIVES? WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE THREAT? DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT SAVING DRIVERS LIVES?
