What 530 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS BEING DRIVEN FROM LAS VEGAS TO LOMA LINDA CALIFORNIA DOWN SOUTH I-15 NEAR BARSTOW CALIFORNIA AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AROUND 2:30PM ON A MONDAY AFTERNOON APRIL 15,2019. HE WAS HIT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SENT VEHICLE ROLLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND OFF THE HIGHWAY DOWN AN EMBANKMENT INTO A FENCE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED! MANY OF THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN OUT. WITH THE FORCE OF THE ROLLOVER CRASH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SMASHED IN. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR WAS ALSO BROKEN AT THE DOOR FRAME. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIME AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A ROUNDABOUT AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. TWO OF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE SECOND ROW SEATS. THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR WAS CRUSHED AND THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND PROJECTED THROUGH THE VAN TO THE LEFT SIDE. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON, SO THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A FAULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
