Dt: airbag on driver's side curtain deployed when vehicle hit something on the road. She was going about 60 MPH. Dealer said the manufacturer told them that she must have hit something which caused her air bag to deploy and they considered it a collision. Manufacturer said the same thing. Caller was injured by airbag.
The chrome trim on the backside of my 2005 chrysler crossfire interior door pull is peeling and becoming very sharp. This occurs on both driver and passenger doors. I recently sliced my finger open while closing the driver's door. There is a TSB out to fix this issue, but since my car is out of warranty chrysler will do nothing. This is a safety concern.
While driving in inclement weather, the vehicle stopped. The driver was not able to get the vehicle to move into any gear. The vehicle was towed to his home.
The back window in my 2005 chrysler crossfire fell out and I can not get chrysler to acknowledge that they have a liability or responsibility to fix the problem.
