No "accident" has happened as yet. The air bags outfitted in this car are manufactured by tanaka and they are defective. In all climates, the bags have exploded are injured or killed a person in the car. Chrysler is only dealing with select climates for an action they are taking. I have reported it to Chrysler and they will take no action at this time. Hopefully, the government will take action and I will be willing to join class action law suits. At present, if I am to drive this car, I would be endangering myself and/or others.
