2011 Dodge Charger Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I was traveling at 35 MPH when a bright light blinded me in drivers window, assuming I was about to get T-boned, I pulled hard to the right, went over a curb, and hit an electrical pole. The front air bags all deployed, including the one by my knees. Getting out of the vehicle, I could see approximately 2" of bone exposed on both shins. It looked like my shins got hit with grenades. I located my phone on the drivers side floor, underneath the remains of the knee airbag. I was taken to the closest trauma hospital and spent 5 days there. I have undergone 5 surgeries on both legs, received multiple blood transfusions in order to have surgery (due to blood loss at the scene), surgery involved removing debris multiple times, and have had artificial skin graphs as well as skin graphs taken from two sites on my right thigh (during the 5th surgery). I have been unable to drive and must have a responsible adult living with me during my recovery. I have been unable to work. I had no broken bones or internal injuries, but extensive damage to my lower legs, nonetheless. Police reports were taken at the scene by Debary, Florida/Volusia county officers. Photographs of my shins were take by the plastic surgeon called while I was in the ER. Full body xrays/scans were also taken.

ABS Wiring had a recall and replaced but the ABS Module is now out Air Bag had a recall but now the air bag clock spring is out Fuel Pump had an extended warranty but is now out and fuel pump needs replaced Crank shaft main bearing seal needs rplaced for an oil leak but other parts have been replaced for an oil leak within the past month

I was involved in a fender bender on the highway and my airbag was deployed but the one at my feet came out so hard I think it that it projected something into my leg I assumed it was part of the takata airbag recall but now I've gone online and seen that my vehicle is not included in that recall and I'd like to know why because I really feel like these airbags injured me.

Dealer or independent service center unable to repair mandatory national recall.
