1994 Chrysler LHS airbags problems

Filed May 24, 2014 · Airbags · 752 miles · VA

My father noticed the passenger airbag lifting, and warping soon after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was still new, yet chrysler refused saying that it was normal due to the material. There are numerous complaints regarding a defective passenger airbag for the 1994 lhs and numerous technical bulletins. Even though it is 20 years old, the vehicle is in excellent condition. The airbag condition has worsened tremendously, and poses a severe safety hazard. The vehicle only has approximately 13k miles, has been garaged, and is in excellent condition. There is nothing else wrong with the vehicle except for the fact that the airbag is defective. This poses an extreme safety hazard and I am afraid that it will not deploy in the event of an accident, and result in death. Chrysler said that their seatbelts and airbags have a lifetime warranty, yet they refuse to resolve this matter. Please assist.

Passanger side airbag compartment cover is disengaging from it's designed apparatus. It appears to be caused by direct sunlight that is removing the vinyl covering to the housing compartment of the passenger side airbag. My concern is the safty of the deployment of the airbag. Has the proper functionality of the airbags deployment been compromised due to the defective cover. And due to the covering being loose, could the airbag deploy at anytime without it's designed cause.
