2005 Chrysler 300C Airbags Problems

I was very excited to purchase my 2005 Chrysler 300C, but there was a recall on the airbag which was taken into the dealer and replace but my grandson had accident in March 2018 and the airbag didn’t disengage. I contact the customer service and they said that I should have contact them before the car was removed from the wrecker company but I wasn’t aware that I to notify them. I send them picture of the car and the insurance adjuster can verify that the airbag didn’t disengaged. I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the process for recall failure and how to report the incident. Thank you for listening but I have contact a lawyer.

NHTSA THROUGH MAIL ADVISED US TO TAKE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHANGE AIRBAGS. WE DID. JUNE 14,2018. ON NOVEMBER 3,2018 WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE AIRBAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW UP IN MY FACE INJURING ME AND BURNED ME AND CUT ME. PARAMEDICS CAME AND I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT 2 WEEKS IN PAIN AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AND RINGING IN MY EARS FOR A WEEK. MY CAR INSURANCE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, IT WENT OFF ON ITS OWN, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AS DEALERSHIP SAID. THE AIRBAG WENT OFF WHEN CAR WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT SLOWLY IN MOTION.

TAKATA RECALL THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED SINCE 2014 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DEFINITE FIX HERE. MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY CHIMING WITH A VISIBLE WARNING LIGHT SINCE NOVEMBER 2015! THIS IS VERY UNSAFE! I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE! MARCH OF 2017 IS THE BEST CHANCE THEY SAY WE COULD RECEIVE A FIX! I CANNOT EVEN TRADE THE CAR OFF AS THIS IS A HUGE LOSS IN VALUE. I BELIEVE SOME TYPE OF REPERCUSSION SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS AS WELL AS THE INFLATOR MANUFACTURER. *TR
