What 1999 Chrysler LHS owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Was on my way to class, was hit on passenger front side of car, then hit head on by sitting truck, air bags never deployed (have pictures to prove this), and I have been disabled from work with ongoing daily pain. If airbag would have deployed I know I wouldn't have been thrown around in the car like I was.
Driver of another vehicle was traveling down a major highway on the wrong side of the hwy, when the car in front of me swerved and I was hit head on in my 1999 chrysler lhs concord by the oncoming vehicle, where I tried to swerve over but was too late my chrysler went air born, flipped and rolled, out of the impact my air bag didn't deploy and I was thrown from the front to the rear, back to the front of the vehicle. I have read several complaints as mine regarding the chrysler air bags not deploying, and on a head on collision, they are automatically suppose to deploy. I'm now in and out of therapy and without a vehicle. But thankful to still be alive.
A crack approx 10 inches in length to the left of the passenger side airbag and a new crack just started to the right of the airbag. I've contacted chrysler two years ago only to be told tuff luck. They wouldn't even consider paying for materials. It scares me as I'm afraid that it's a safety hazard. My car is parked in a garage and well maintained. I only have 69,000 miles on it and when I complained I only had approx 40,000 miles on it. Not sure of the exact incident date so I've just added one so that I could proceed.
