2020 Dodge Charger Air Bags

I had a accident about 5 days ago where I got in a accident and upon impact my airbags deployed a lot of smoke came out of the air bags I couldn’t c or breathe and I also got burn by the air bags there was a open recall on my dodge charger that they said they took care of how ever messege on dash kept saying service air bag and currently it’s at a body shop being checked

The driver side air bag in the roof of the car deployed when the engine was not on, and no one was in the vehicle. The car was parked in the driveway of the insured's residence when the air bag deployed. No visible damage to the exterior of the vehicle indicating a collision. The vehicle has been inspected by the local Dodge dealership (Mac Haik, Georgetown, TX), with no known cause of the air bag failure identified. Damage has been estimated at $6,700 to replace interior parts including the air bag and multiple sensors. Weather was noted by the owner of the vehicle as a potential cause, although research suggests that air bags SHOULD NOT deploy if the car engine is not running, when parked, and no one is in the vehicle regardless of weather conditions. Statements found that a cause could be airbag control module failure, wiring issues, sensor misinterpretation, which should lead to an investigation into the quality and workmanship of parts installed in the vehicle, with no liability for the owner. At no point was there any warning or indication of air bag or sensor failures/malfunctions.

On July 1, 2023, I was driving on the I-20 going approximately 70 mph close to mile marker 167 in Talladega County, Alabama, when something hit my windshield causing me to swerve off the road and hitting the side railing. The the front end and the driver's side of the vehicle was smashed in and my vehicle was totaled. However, none of the airbags in my 2020 Dodge Charger ever deployed. I did not require medical assistance immediately after the accident, but my concern is that the airbags should have deployed during the accident during the accident. By the airbags not going off my safety was put at risk. If this is a problem in other 2020 Dodge Chargers other people's safety is being put at risk. The vehicle was inspected by my insurance, Progressive, for property damage evaluation. They concluded that the vehicle was totaled. There were no signs or warnings prior to the accident that there was an issue with the airbags. I have also checked for recalls using the vehicle's VIN and there were no safety recalls.
