Problems with 2000 Dodge Neon AIR BAGS

The driver and passenger airbags did not deploy in a head on collision at approx 30mph. *ak

Consumer was traveling 40-50mph and another vehicle pulled out in front & severely damaged consumer's vehicle front end. also, upon impact, front air bags didn't deploy. *ak

The horn only works occasionally. was told it is a manufacturer's defect with the airbag by our mechanic. the airbag may not work in an accident. i never know when my horn will work to communicate with other drivers.*ak

When sliding on ice i went into the ditch at approx 30 mph. the vehicle picked up speed during the slide. the ditch was steep but narrow. my front end hit the other side of the ditch causing $6000 front end damage. neither passenger or driver side air bag deployed! my seatbelt did not latch!! my wrists impacted the dash leaving my nailpolish on the stereo. my chest impacted the steering wheel. i could not lift my baby for a very long time...a year. i couldn't tie my 6 childrens shoes without pain for over two years. i still have moderate to severe pain attacks! i still do not have full function of my right wrist and typing this irritates it like crazy. my elbow was out of place. my ribs are now permanently out of place and there are injuries to my back and neck. my right side of my face goes numb and i suffer severe and frequent headaches. i am now severely depressed. i used to be an rn. i have a weight limit of 2-10 pounds with no consistent use of my right arm allowed. this is now over 4 years since my accident. nothing was done for me. i couldn't work and had to suffer the consequences of turning my car back into the dealer. i just paid the judgment from chrysler off this year. i am still upset to see so very many people still being injured and chrysler off free. i wish i had an attorney willing to sue their pants off for the life changes they have given me. i previously wore a seatbelt religiously. i'm 39 now and i promise i will never wear one again since being strangled with chrysler's belt. dealer did nothing to remedy. said they had no way to check these problems and found nothing wrong with the seatbelt. disgusting! this vehicle only had 4500 miles on it and i bought it brand new. this so call recall took place in april 1999. my purchase was september 1999. *jb

No summary listed for above vehicle. *ak

When vehicle was involved in a head on collision, traveling 30-35 mph, there was no deployment of driver's side or passenger's side air bags. vehicle was totalled in the crash. report given father, charles wise. *ak

Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 65mph. upon impact, the airbags did not deploy, and the restraints did not retract, resulting in minor injuries. the manufacturer has been notified. *ak

Consumer is stating that her daughter, lora beth, was involved in a head on collision and killed. she was driving at 35-40 mph. she was wearing a safety belt, and the airbag deployed. she was sitting at least 10 inches from the steering wheel, and was 5 feet 7 inches tall. parents believe the deploying force of the airbag may have killed her. the neon?s design dips in the front and if a driver slams on the brake it would dip even more, this might delay the air bag deployment. *yd
