NHTSA complaint: 2015 CHRYSLER 200 — AIR BAGS
MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON SO I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER WHERE I WAS TOLD A WIRE HAD HAD PROBABLY BECOME DISCONNECTED. THEY SAID ALL I HAD TO DO WAS MAKE SURE THE ENDS WERE CONNECTED. IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE. THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AGAIN. I FIGURED IT WAS THE PLUG AND DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION SINCE I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. UNTIL MY AIRBAGS EXPLODED IN MY FACE ONE DAY AS I WAS LEAVING WORK. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS HIT IN THE FACE, CHEST AND LEGS BY THE AIRBAGS. I THEN HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIRBAG WENT OFF AS DID THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG..I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ THE OTHER AIRBAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. THE COPS DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN BUT I WASN'T GIVEN A TICKET. I KNOW THEY WENT OFF BEFORE THE WRECK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. *DT*JB
