AIR BAGS
ON 03/26/99 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO-AUTO COLLISION, IMPACTING FRONT RIGHT SIDE. OTHER AUTO WAS GOING 35+ MPH. NEITHER PASS. NOR DRIVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIRBAGS MAY BE DEFECTIVE. DEALER CONTACTED BUT HAS YET TO INVESTIGATE. MANUFACTURER (CHRYSLER CORP.) CONTACTED BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE GUAM IS NOT WITHIN CONTINENTAL US. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IN FACT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED OR NOT.

CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONCERNING MY PROBLEMS, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MY AIRBAGS THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE SENT ARBITRATION PAPERWORK AND NEVER WAS. WHEN I CALLED BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT AN INSPECTOR SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT TO LOOK AT MY CAR BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED AND THAT IT WAS "TOO LATE NOW" TO DO ANYTHING. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT AN INSPECTOR OR ANYONE ELSE COULD BE INVOLVED WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED CHRYSLER. I AM FURIOUS AND FRUSTRATED AND NEED HELP WITH THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. *AK
