Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Chrysler Crossfire

I had an accident recently hitting a tree avoiding a child running into my street. I have injured myself hitting the steering wheel hard. I think my nose was broken and a week later is still bothering me, 2 black eyes. Here is the issue: I bought this 2005 Chrysler Crossfire ltd roadster online from mac haik cdj in austin and took physical delivery at their mac haik Chevrolet here in houston. My injury is due to the fact that my airbag did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock. At this speed, @ 20 mph, the belt would have secured me from injury. Where is the liability here for this? is it legal for a franchise dealer to sell a vehicle without a functioning airbag and seatbelt? please advise.

I was involved in an at-fault wreck on July 10, 2009. My foot slipped off the brake pedal when slowing down for a traffic light and I was unable to stop my slowing car. I crashed into the rear of a ups truck. 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. My car was only 4 years old and had only 46,000 miles on it. I am now disabled and can no longer work to support myself. The hospital sent me home from the emergency room and pain continued to worsen in my neck and lower back until I was forced to stop working after 33 years in the safety field. I have spoken with several attorneys and they have informed me they will not take the case because Chrysler is in bankruptcy. Big deal! they are still selling cars!!!!! the government bailed them out to the tune of millions of dollars, their executives still received millions of dollars in bonuses, etc. And I, an owner of one of their vehicles, which I longed for since it was release and am now disable due to a malfunction of the airbag, which is documented by police. This will not be my final effort to receive damages from Chrysler. My next step is to contact my state representatives and senator, and to then write letters to every newspaper who will print my letter. This is a crying shame. I have been in executive safety my entire career and this takes the cake!!!!!!!! I deserve more that an excuse. I deserve an ear with Chrysler! if I do not hear soon, I will take my next step. I will continue until I receive compensation for my loss. Loss in the ability to support myself.

I was in a car accident on July 24, 2005 where I rear-ended a Buick rendezvous in my Chrysler Crossfire. I did extensive damage to the front end of my Crossfire and there was no airbag deployment on the Crossfire. 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. I learned later that the reason the airbags did not deploy on the Crossfire was that the release for the front airbags is in the frame of the vehicle and the only way to deploy them is to bend the frame of the vehicle. This is a major failure in that the Crossfire has such a low profile that there are very few cars that you could be in an accident with and then have the airbags to deploy.

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.
