My wife was turning into our driveway an collided with a snowmobile. The driver side airbag deployed. There was a problem with the inflator (sealed over) and the airbag exploded putting shrapnel into her body. Because of the location of the air bag and the body most of the shrapnel went into her chest, with the airbag plate breaking apart striking her in the chin breaking her jaw in three places. If it hadn't been for a great ambulance crew she would have bled to death. She was in a trauma hospital for 3 and 1/2 months. She has permanent muscle and nerve damage, the jaw is not aligned correctly so he has problems eating.

Air bag light began coming on intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, they replaced clock spring, light was out. Light began coming on intermittently again. Took vehicle back, was charged several hundred dollars for repairing a wire, light was out. Light began coming on intermittently again. Took vehicle back and was told they cannot fix it. Contacted chrysler with no response. Over the years I have filed complaints with your office to no avail. Chrysler has had recalls for this model vehicle for years prior and years after but not this one. Why does no one care about this one. Not sure if there is a problem, if someone stole my airbag or if the government does not really care about safety??
