| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a split over the passenger side air bag. the split started out 3 inches long and now is 8-9 inches in length. my vehicle was taking to the chrysler dealership and told this was not a warranty item and the car is out of warranty, so i would have to come up with 1500.00 plus installation for a new dashboard. there are at least 50 300m's in this area, that have the same problem and i wish i could get all of them to put in a complaint, but some people never do what needs to be done. this seems to be a material problem were the material is stretched over the air bag. i am not sure if the air bag will deploy or if it will deploy when not necessary startling me as i drive and cause an accident. i've looked on this web site and see where several others have complained and i complained previously. is this defect being investigated? this seems to be a safety issue and could cause serious problems. my vehicle was taken to a vinyl repair shop and the service man said he wouldn't fix it, because he would be afraid the air bag wouldn't deploy properly. *cb |
