What owners wrote
12-29-00 traveling at a speed of 45MPH another car made a turn without yielding with no time to stop I hit the other car both cars were total loses but the airbags never opened up to prevent injuries ---- thanks chrysler -
A 2 inch cut is now visible in the passenger side dash, which is the edge of the airbag housing. I am concerned that any dash repair will cause the airbag to not operate properly in the case of a collision.
