Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2000 Chrysler 300M

I was stopped at a red light vehicle behind me did not stop and rear ended me. Both front seats in my car let loose and the seat backs went fully reclined. My wife and I were both laying on our backs with heads on the back seat. The car was still moving, it was hard for me to get upright and stop the car. Chrysler told me the seats are designed this way. Here is what they said "the seats in your vehicle. Our design to progressively tilt just during a rear impact collision. The idea behind that, is that it does lesson injuries to the front seat vehicle occupants once that happens so that would be a normal occurrence for your vehicle in a rear end collision". I say bullshit. If someone was in the back the seat would have broken their legs. It was not a"progressive" tilt, they flew back. They air bags did not deploy.

: the contact stated while driving 40 mph the contact hit another vehicle from the rear and the frontal airbags did not deploy. The vehicle sustained frontal damage and a police report was filed. Although the dealership was alerted, no appointment for inspection has been made. Updated 4/11/2006 -.

On Aug. 4, 2004 I was in a crash that resulted in my 2000 Chrysler 300m being totalled. I was going approximately 35-40 mph when a oncoming truck turned in front of me. My airbags did not deploy. I am wondering if they should have the VIN # is 2c3he66g3yh411352.

The dashboard cover is cracking in two places which are directly above the drivers side air bag. The air bag appears to be expanding underneath the dash cover. The air bag may not properly deploy if there is a collison. Auto is out of warranty and Chrysler has refused to inspect or repair this situation although there was a recall for the same vehicle with slightly different assembly dates. Chyrsler owner's manual warns against any repairs to the air bag except by their authorized dealers. I have seen this condition in the same model and year of manufacture, and there are several reports in the NHTSA data base.

About a year and a half ago, I noticed that on the passenger side dash, a 1" crack had started to develop around the air bag of my 2000 Chrysler 300m. I am the crack is now on both sides of the air bag and each are at least 10" long. I am concerned that the airbag will not deploy properly. My local Chrysler dealer said to fix it with a vinyl repair kit, but it would be unsightly. I am very disappointed to have such a new car have this dash condition.

Was involved in an accident where I hit a tree dead on going about 35 mph, and airbags never deployed. The front of the car is "totalled" however, it can be repaired. Exact damage cost have yet to be figured, but it will be betwee $3000-$5000. The car is only 6 months old.

When applying abs brakes pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in a collision. Also, rear passenger's seat belt did not lock up, seatback collasped, and the air bags did not deploy. Please give any furher details.
