The airbag on the passenger side blew up. On robin hood rd when car was almost stopped for a traffic light on buena vista rd. When the airbag blew up with my daughter-in-law in that seat. Calling chrysler they said there was no recall on it and they would do nothing because of the age of the car. A month earlier I spent $2000 on repairs on this car and now it is useless. Starting the car it smells like it's going to catch on fire. The car was in motion and almost at a complete stop for a traffic light when the airbag exploded which was very scary. When I first called chrysler they ask the location of the car and LED me to believe someone from chrysler would examine the the van and then a week later calling I found out they were denying anything because of the age of the car. I am a senior citizen and this isn't fair as I have kept up repairs on the car and it's obvious that there are no dents or that has not been in any traffic accidents.

Please note that my mother's airbag detonated on it's on while she was driving home. She had brought the vehicle in twice as you can see from the attached documentation. Gandrud and chrysler are refusing to repair the faulty air bag. My mother's car is not drive-able without a horn per our understanding and a danger to her without said air bag. We need your help as these seems to be such an injustice especially when she is not going after them for damages to her for being whipped around in her car. She just wants her car repaired and the defective airbag replaced. We pray you can help us get answers.

While stopped in the driveway, (engine on, foot on brake) while a passenger exited the vehicle, the driver's airbag deployed when the passenger closed the vehicle door. Subsequent investigation by chrysler corp factory representatives and lawyers disclosed no accident or other triggering event. Chrysler claims no responsibility for the mechanical failure of the part. The vehicle will cost more to repair than it is worth. Insurance is of no assistance as this is a mechanical failure/manufacturer's defect and is not a covered loss in their view.
