6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2021

My door panels are peeling away from the area where the trim and window meet on my driver side and passenger. Upon research, I've discovered this is an issue going back ever since 2014 with Chrysler and Dodge vehicles upon further research, this issue can lead to issues with side air bags not being able to possibly be deployed (I have not experienced this),driver & passenger window being affected by heating and cooling of the ac (I've experienced this with my windows not being able to adequately defrost fast enough, as well as my windshield), and issues with the doors automatic locks not locking. Hundreds of thousands of Chrysler & Dodge owners have experienced this and evidence can be found online, especially in forums - in particular mopar forums and reddit. My vehicle hasn't been inspected by police, insurance, manufacturer in particular to this issue, as I've discovered there's nothing can be done since I'm out of warranty and refuse to pay for this. No warning lamps of that nature have illuminated. This has been an issue since late 2018, early 2019 for me. I've owned my vehicle since may 2018.

I was in a front end collision with a tree. Everyone kept asking me about air bags deploying. They did not none. I thought nothing much of it until I realized why people were asking. I questioned the adjusted , he stated they should have deployed they should have deployed from the impact position. Well none did. And something about the seat belt locking or didnt lock. .
