| I don't know how to contact chrysler, i don't know what to do about this. chrysler should be sued for selling cars with faulty air bags. i am very angry that at 40 miles per hour, an accident didn't deploy the air bag., the front of the vehicle slammed an out of control vehicle, spinning in a snow storm at 40 mph, and the airbags diddn't deploy, what would have happened if my wife was traveling at 65 mph and got into an accident. i knew these air bags are just a bunch of bull.. what do i do about this. kfarrell@highwaycomputers.com. *ak | |||

| The driver side airbag on our 1994 plymouth grand voyager deployed while driving at approx 30 mph. there was no collision, road bumps or anyother physical jarring of the vehicle. there was no cause for the airbag to deploy. the driver (my wife) sustained minor injuries (broken nose, cut lips and brusing) and she was able to stop the vehicle safely. fortunately she was not on a major highway. this was reported to chrysler, who has been very uncooperative and rude. the chrysler special investigations file number is 11586772 (we have not heard from them).*ak | |||
