“I was driving on keerans street on fort bragg, nc at aprox 30mph when I was hit by a 2012 chevy express 3500 due to his failure to yield at approx 25mph. None of my airbags deployed and the whiplash caused neck injury and back injury. Chrysler informed me that it requires a minimum speed of 20mph to set off the side impact airbags.”

“On friday march 7, 2015 my car was parked outside of my home and the sunroof spontaneously shattered. I contacted Chrysler directly about my 300 s and was told to contact my local Chrysler dealership. Once I got in touch with the dealer they told me it's something they would have to contact Chrysler about and they are unsure if my warranty will cover it. The dealer stated they have never heard of such a thing before, however I've seen numerous reports.”
