Airbags didn't deploy nor did seatbelt engage to prevent me from being thrust forward face first into steering wheel. Incurred significant damage to front teeth & neck/back strain. Was informed by chrysler corp. That airbag sensors are positioned too low for deployment. …”
NHTSA complaint #10490366, filed 2012-12, 22,000 miles“There is a recall on these parts on my automobile and there are no parts available to repair. I am worried and nervous about this possibly failing in my car due to all the past incidents with takata airbags. I would like to have this remedied if not sooner rather than later. This has increased my risk to danger and as a result I am no longer confident in the vehicle's performance. The manufacturer has not provided any timeline on when this issue will be resolved.”
