Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, where it was manufactured [[redacted]] with FCA US LLC as an incomplete vehicle, from Mexico. Not safe on the road at all, no clue if the vehicle actually has air bags, etc. In the open cab, there are two- cylinder tanks, one with a label showing Linde Gas and Equipment (UN1001) located within/on the back of a truck/vehicle seeming to be improperly stored and the smaller cylinder tank (UN1001) is not vertical and angled, held on by a fabric strap, side by side with the other cylinder tank, with welding, electrical, and other equipment around them. Used to long distance travel from Indiana to Kentucky without proper registration, expired tags, and constantly causing problems with all electrical components, brakes, ABS system, 4x4 not running right, deft tank always empty, bc of the modifications done to it, no stack to release exhaust, vehicle lags, it's completely just an incomplete and a hazard to every single person on the road. At any time the vehicle will and can shut off and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. Let alone the air bag issues. It's a huge huge safety issue. Please listen and read this. I care about others on the road. Being a victim of a head on collision, I take safety very seriously. Vehicle backed into a Chrysler town and country & caused major damage to the van, bc the break slipped on the dodge ram 3500. No air bags deployed. I'm not the owner I personally know the driver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving in dense traffic at 55mph. The rear window suddenly, and without warning, exploded. Glass shards peppered my wife's and my back neck. The window is protected by a headache rack (see pictures). My thought is the glass is improperly made, in that it should not explode; or improperly factory installed.
