As I was driving there was suddenly a loud explosion and the smell of black powder (like a gunshot) and I was hit very hard in the upper right chest, driver's side, by a shock wave that felt as if I had been shot. The odor was coming from the area near the brake and gas pedals. The air bag light had been coming on and off randomly for months. It never stayed on more than a few seconds. I had had the car in for its big va state inspection, to the tune of $2059. 03, in April at the Chrysler dealership where I have taken it for one year. Air bags are not part of a regular inspection so it was not checked. I was able to drive the car into the nearest Chrysler dealership, by luck it was within a mile of where the incident happened), and asked the men in service, who know me and had serviced this car for ten years, to come out and smell it. They concurred it smelled as if an explosion had happened inside the car. The airbag had not deployed; nor should it have. . . There was no crash or anything. I left the car there. My chest hurt. I contacted Chrysler in detroit and a week later they sent their special va engineer with his computer to check the computer in the car. The other day I received an official letter that my claim was being denied; nothing had been found. So I went over to the dealership and the service man drove it around the lot to give to me. I was going to take it home. He had not put the seat belt on to drive it to me. I got in and the airbag light was on all the time and the seat belt would not extend. I cannot drive the car with an inoperable seat belt and with the air bag light on. It must have been the propellant that hit me in the chest, as the bag did not deploy. It was so fast, so hard, and scared me to death. I reported this to you after it happened, but am re-reporting it now because of the "results" of Chrysler's official inspection.

I have had the car tuned and inspected this past year and had mentioned that the air bag light came on sporadically. Like the "check engine light," it apparently meant nothing, I was told, as it was the original, never used, airbag. Yesterday as I was driving on a four-land highway there was a large explosion and the smell of cordite, as if I had been shot. My chest felt crushed, as if it had been hit, compressed, whatever. . . And the seat belts tightened, but the air bag did not deploy. I did not know what had happened. I thought I had been shot. No blood, no bullet hole. Chest hurt. Chest did not hurt because of a seatbelt, but the compression from the blast. I was in the right lane and just held the car steady, very disoriented and shaken. Chest hurt. I realized I was within a mile (a miracle) of one of the two Chrysler dealerships that has worked on this car over the past 15 years, so I drove it in and stumbled, breathless, into the service area,, where they knew me at once by name. They knew I was shaken and was having trouble talking and walking. My chest had been hit very hard and I found out the air had been knocked out of my lungs. They have the car, had never seen this happen before. No one has worked on it yet. I am going over there today to ask them not to work on it until my lawyer decides if it is "evidence" for some new kind of air bag hazard. I have no car now. I want other drivers and owners to know that a ten-year-old car and ten-year-old airbag are dangerous. This car has never had an accident and this is the original airbag. My idea: airbags need to be rotated out and changed every few years so this does not happen.

We were rear ended while on vacation. The car was driveable and it was put in the shop for repairs. The other person was at fault. When we got the car back we noticed that the airbag light would stay on for a minute or two and then go off. This continues to happen. The car repair shop checked seat belts and such. The air bags did not deploy as this was a rear end collision. I feel like this is a safety hazard. The repair shop has had to repair work that was not done right. Could they have messed up the codes as the temp does not work right. ? were the airbags damaged ? the estimated speed he hit us was 35mph. We both got cervical sprain and mine is worse.

Driver suffered a diabetic hypoglycemic incident and ran off the road and collided with a guard rail. The accident was a frontal impact that resulted in significant damage to the front bumper, fenders, engine compartment, suspension, and frame. The accident damaged approximately 40' of guard rail, including the end section. During the accident, the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle has a history of intermittent air bag warning light activation, and has undergone replacement of several key components of the control system (I. E. Srs module, clockspring in steering column, and wiring harness under front passenger seat). The vehicle speed at the time of the accident is unknown, but estimated at less than 40mph. Weather was clear, sunny. Traffic was none to light conditions. Road conditions were excellent.
