About a month ago, I was delivering for a pizza company on somewhat wet roads. The guy in front of me had non-functioning tail lights, so I did not see him breaking until it was too late. I hit my brakes and swerved to avoid him, went off the road down a 15-20 foot embankment, and hit a six to eight inch tree hard enough at 35 miles an hour to split it in half and have it fall on top of my car, and to bring me to a dead stop. Even with that force, the airbags did not go off. I had asked Chrysler to look into it, but after three weeks, they basically told me that I did not hit the brakes hard enough because the rate of deceleration necessary to activate them was not present. I cannot believe that this is the only reason, or even the actual reason, they did not go off.

"takata recall" I was driving a 2003 Pt Cruiser when my wife and I were hit head on by a truck that went left of center when a van turned left in front of him. We were hit again on the drivers side and the airbag deployed and the steering column fell on my left leg. My granddaughter stopped at the scene because she was driving past and saw us. She saw I was bleeding from my head and put pressure on it as soon as she could. Upon being taken to the hospital I had both of my ears nearly severed off. It was determined that the shrapnel from the air bags had cut both my ears and severed them. Also it has been two years and I am still getting material out of my head from them. I have big sore spots where the material has risen and came out of my head. I also got mersa in my leg and my wife got 4 broken back ribs. They also determined I received a concussion. The vehicle was in motion but going about 25 as I was slowing down as the van in front of us was turning. We do have photos and medical records as we had a lawyer who sued the driver who turned in front of us and we can get pictures and records if you would like. I do not have them on my computer.

At 10:15am on Thursday, 8/14/2014, the driver side front airbag spontaneously deployed while I was traveling <5mph pulling into a parking space. The vehicle has never been in any kind of accident nor has sustained any other damage, including from potholes (my family took original delivery of the vehicle in 2008). The local Chrysler dealership declined to look at the vehicle, and instead provided a phone number for the Chrysler customer assistance center (ccac). Thirty minutes later, the passenger side front airbag spontaneously deployed while I was traveling 35mph. Fortunately, I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and arrived home safely moments later. I immediately contacted the ccac; the representative forwarded my information to Chrysler's special investigations unit for further inquiry. The vehicle was inspected on Tuesday, 8/19/2014, at a Chrysler dealership by a third-party contracted by Chrysler. The investigator carefully documented the vehicle's condition, including putting it up on a lift, and took 40-50 images. Particular attention was paid to the airbag control module. The inspector found no damage and informed me it has been "beautifully maintained. " I received a letter dated 8/25/2014 from Chrysler stating, "we have had the opportunity to review the inspection report and must inform you that we are not led to believe that the incident was due to manufacturing responsibility. " my request for a copy of the inspection report was denied in a letter dated 9/12/14, claiming the report is "confidential" and "proprietary. " my second request to view the report was denied in a letter dated 10/13/14; I mailed a third request 11/10/14. The body shop manager of the Chrysler dealership and my insurance carrier both concur this was most likely due to manufacturing defect. While Chrysler stonewalls me, I am forced to drive a vehicle lacking functional airbags.

I had stopped at a ssignal light and was hit in an front /head on crash there was no air bag deployment - thecar was deemed as a total lost per my insurance the damage was front left finder - hood = bumper - grill left suspension parts radiator oil cooler and frame I feel that if the car is going to sustain that much damage the car would have deployed the air bags. I have seen cars that the airbags deployed when hit hard enough to scuff the front bumper also the horn would like to stick when depressed some time the horn would sound some time the horn would not make any sound till you beat the darn thing.

Takata recall: I was driving north, turning right on a 20 mph curve, when someone heading south, turned left on the curve, went over the line and hit me head on. When I came to, I heard myself screaming that I was on fire! ( but my car was not on fire. ) then I didn't remember anything until I woke up in the hospital. I was covered in this hot powdery substance and I had burns where ever my skin was showing. I had cuts everywhere and dark marks in my skin for years. I had corneal scratches and irritated eyes too, along with dislocated jaw, seat belt injuries and a few other injuries. My tmj specialist realized I had metal in my face, looking at my mri. A few days after the mri, my face swelled up on the right side, my right eye was swollen shut and my face had a huge bump where the metal festered up from the mri, the er lanced it open, found particals but didn't do a biopsy, just threw it away. I never had face surgery or anything like that and it was too high on my cheek to be from dental work. I have documents on accident reports, drs documents, x rays, mri's showing the bloom of metal hiding my broken jaw. I have pictures too of me and deployed airbags. Although I don't have them here to scan. Hopefully I can come back to my form and update any information that is missing. Thank you. My tmj dr and my maxio facial specialist said it had to be shrapnel and they cannot make any proper diagnosis of my tmj or broken jaw. I still have pain and still have shrapnel that has been coming out of my eye area and face for some time. I knew of all of this prior to the takata issues, I haven't been well enough to follow through with you until now. Thank you for your time.

I was driving the kids to school going about 20 mph and none of the airbags deployed. We hit the vehicle in front of us hard enough to break the bar behind the grill and smash into the radiator and ruin it. The bags should have deployed on that kind of impact.

Having issues with airbag/seatbelt light coming on & the dinging- pd. $98. 1st time, took back 2 more time, still not fixed, said warranty is up & does not cover electrical. . . They cannot find problem & seem not to be interested in trying. . Suggest I put new seatbelt in at my expense of $500. To me this is a driving hazard when u have this alarm going off every 20 sec, it can be a driving hazard. . . . 2007 Pt Cruiser - called Chrysler & they will not work with me on this, is getting very frustrating when u buy a new car & have these kinds of problems.
