The contact owns a 2000 Chrysler 300m. The contact stated that the clock spring failed to work and the air bag warning lamp illuminated when the failure occurred. Also, the contact mentioned that the horn failed to work and the cruise control malfunction. The vehicle was not inspected and diagnosed.

Highway crash at 60+ mph where most of impact was in front and on front passenger side. Neither the driver nor passenger airbags deployed.
Spontanius dashboard cracking over passenger airbag cavity. Dealer refuses to repair because of expiration of warranty. I am worried about the airbags ability to safely deploy.
Possible airbag defect.
Dashboard padding cracked around the air bag on the passenger's side compartment/cover area. Consumer had a concern that it may cause a problem with air bag deploying improperly or inadvertently.
One week ago a 3" split appeared in the passenger side dashboard vinyl near the air bag. My concern is that this is in someway related to, or is going to affect, the operation of the air bag deployment. I understand this is beginning to occur in many 1999 and 2000 300m's. Four years seems much too early for a problem like this to occur. The vinyl is still resilient and pliable, not hard or brittle. My local Chrysler dealer (allen jay) tells me they have never heard of it. They suggested I see about having repaired by someone who does vinyl repair. In my opinion this would further affect the deployment of the air bag. Thank you for your time.
