What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My chest slammed into the steering wheel because the driver's airbag failed to deploy. The passenger's airbag did. The police and fireman were extremely shocked and it is written up the police accident report. I need help in contacting chrysler concerning this incident.
I sustained minor seat belt injuries on my shoulder and across my stomach. I did call chrysler to let them know that the airbags did not deploy on the car and they stated they would have the car and accident investigated.
After being involved in a front end collision the passenger side air bag deployed striking the window. The driver side air bag did not deploy. There was no passenger in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the heated rear glass window separated and detach from the convertible top of the vehicle. The contact stated that the rear glass was glued to the convertible cloth top of the vehicle.
The contact stated that the air bag warning had illuminated recently. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted, but the contact had not received a call back. The failure mileage was 17,726.
June 6th 2024, I got into my 2095 Chrysler crossfire and started driving hearing a rattling sound I pulled over and looked in back of my car to see the back window separated away from the soft top and was openly hanging, I had to get home from where I was at so I took back roads all way home and pulled over everytime…
