My wife was in an accident where she was hit in the driver's side at her door, rear passenger door and front fender while turning left at an intersection. Impact was 35-40 mph. Not one airbag deployed. She hit her head and shoulder on window causing severe pain to her head, neck and collar bone, and we want to know why the airbags did not deploy. We feel this may have caused more problems from her impact. I'm sure we paid for this feature in the car and want to know why they didn't work.

On Monday morning December 23rd approximately 4:15 am. On a rainy weather condition, I was driving on the 91 eastbound freeway going about 60 mph, I was on the 3rd middle lane, near green river road, all of a sudden my steering wheel felt as if it locked on me, my car started to veer to the left and I couldn't break or release the steering wheel, I knew I had lost control at this point, bracing myself, I hit the head on the center divider, I spun out of control ended by hitting the rail on the right shoulder, full impact. My bags did not deploy, I have a chest contusion as a result of me hitting the steering wheel full force and compression fracture on my thoracic vertebra number 7 as confirmed by the ct body scan/X-ray from the er. Please, someone needs to help me out here.

My Chrysler dealer is slow in dealing with two recalls. One year waiting for air bag recall solution and now I'm told "no parts" for emission canister recall. Why the delay at this terrible service center?

I purchased a 2015 Chrysler 300 in may of 2015 brand new; on April 18,2016 I swerved to keep from hitting a deer in which the vehicle rolled over twice. I contacted Chrysler about the concern of the airbags not imploding. The vehicle has been classified as 'totaled.' I knew before I had even contacted the manufacturer, that they would use the sensors as not having any problems. I think that Chrysler should at least offer me some type of compensation for what this vehicle cost; a life could have been lost (something that you can't replace) don't you agree that some type of compensation should be given?
