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. *TR

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?
