2014 Chrysler 300 Airbags Problems

The front passenger door panel has separated at the top leaving an open gap between the window and the door. It appears that the rubber molding was not manufactured properly and as heat from the sun warms up the molding, it deforms, pulls up and separates. The problem has continued to worsen over time and is approaching the door locking mechanism. It is also now possible for water to get to the inside of the door. This is a NON-MOVING PART that was defective at the time of manufacture, but took time to malfunction.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS BE CAUSE IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS A REBUILT SALVAGE AND THE REGISTRATION IS IN CT. I THINK THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE AIR BAG WAS NEVER DEPLOYED ON PASS SIDE. FAR RIGHT FRONT AND UNDERCARRIAGE ON LNCIDENT REPORT ONLY. ALSO CONTROL MODULES FOR CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT OFF SHORT CIRCUIT IN VEHICLE WIRING . IF A REBUILT SALVAGE CAN BE SOLD TO ME BY A DEALER THAT IS UNSAFE WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THERE RECALLS. OH THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AN I LOVE IT. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE REST APPROXIMATELY 5-10 FT BEHIND A SEMI TRACKER TRAILER TRUCK WHEN A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 55 MPH REAR ENDING MY STOPPED VEHICLE. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT IT FORCED AND PUSHED THE FRONT-END OF MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY INTO THE REAREND OF THE STATIONARY SEMI TRUCK. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN MYSELF, THE DRIVER, AND THE PASSENGER (BOTH OF US SEAT BELTED) TO SUSTAIN CONCUSSIONS, SEVERE CERVICAL STRAINS, UPPER AND LOWER BACK INJURIES, HIP CONTUSIONS AND FACIAL LACERATIONS. AS THIS SERIOUS AND VERY VIOLENT THREE VEHICLE OCCURRED THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. UNDER THESE LIFE THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCES IF THE AIR BAGS HAD PROPERLY DEPLOYED OUR INJURIES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO SEVERE.
