2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Airbags Problems

ON JAN 3RD 2019 I HAD AN ACCIDENT (FRONT IMPACT) AND THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED - BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS - THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO MY FACE -- IT WAS 10 INCHES AWAY FROM MY FACE AND IMMEDIATELY DEFUSED. I WAS REALLY APPALLED AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE ITS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND IT WAS NO WAY SAVING MY LIFE. BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT WAS THE SAME WAY. I NEED HELP FROM NHSTA TO INVESTIGATE THE CAR AND IDENTIFY IF INDEED ITS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SO WE CAN WORK WITH THE MANAUFACTURER

TAKATA RECALL WENT INTO HAYS DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA ON MONDAY MORNING 10/31/16 WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AND ASK IF I CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT FIX AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME UNTIL CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO 'FIX THE PROBLEM' WHAT ABOUT THE LEMON LAW ON VEHICLES THIS PROBLEM IS ONE OF THEM. CHRYSLER ADVERTISE ALONG WITH OTHER CAR DEALERS ON HOW SAFE THEIR CARS ARE WHICH IT SEEM NONE OF THE CARS ARE SAFE ANYMORE DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP MAKE CHEAP TO CUT COST NO MATTER WHOM IT WILL EFFECT AND WAY OVERPRICED, IF YOU BROUGHT A WASH MACHINE, DRYER OR REFRIGERATOR IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OR ANY DEFECT ITEM THE COMPANY WILL FIX IT OR REPLACE IT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THE HONORABLE THING 'FIX THE PROBLEM' OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN ASAP! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE MY VEHICLE FIX AND GETTING NO WHERE WITH THIS WAITING TO 2023 IS NOT THE ANSWER HERE.
