TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 DODGE INTREPID. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, A 12-YEAR OLD CHILD ENTERED THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWNHILL AND STRUCK A TREE. THE 12-YEAR OLD STATED THAT HE DID NOT TOUCH THE GEARS, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT, THE PASSENGER WINDOW, AND A DENT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE THE ONLY DAMAGES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER (04V021000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT) IN MAY OF 2007. THE VEHICLE NO LONGER SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 131,487 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING A 1993 DODGE INTREPID. SEVERAL VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME STOPPED QUICKLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, A SMALL FORD PICKUP TRUCK. I ESTIMATE I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 M.P.H. AT IMPACT. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH CAUSED A MINIMUM OF $3500 TO $4000 IN DAMAGE TO MY INTREPID AND EXCEEDED ITS CURRENT VALUE. THE FRONT END OF THE INTREPID WAS EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED: THE HOOD WAS SEVERELY CRUMPLED BACK, THE RADIATOR WAS BENT BACK AT AN ANGLE AND PUSHED BACK INTO THE ENGINE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE DESTROYED, AND BOTH FRONT QUARTER PANELS WERE DAMAGED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: NEITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG NOR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED! THE POLICEMEN WHO RESPONDED TO THE ACCIDENT WERE BOTH AMAZED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS WEARING MY SEAT/SHOULDER BELT AND WAS NOT VISIBLY INJURED. HOWEVER, I WONDER IF I WOULD HAVE SUSTAINED VISIBLE INJURY, POSSIBLE SEVERE, IF THE ACCIDENT HAD BEEN WORSE AND THE AIRBAGS HAD STILL NOT DEPLOYED. HAVE I BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE APRIL 30, 1994 WITHOUT AIRBAG PROTECTION, WHEN ALL THAT TIME I THOUGHT I WAS PROTECTED? IT'S A SCARY THOUGHT!
