CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK UP UPON IMPACT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. CHRYSLER REP SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT THE SENSOR WAS NOT TRIGGERED BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE BUMPER, WHICH IS LOW AND WAS UNDAMAGED IN THE COLLISION. OWNER OF VEHICLE BELIEVES THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *AK *ML
