What owners wrote

I had a severe side impact on my 2008 chrysler sebring when another vehicle ran a stop sign and broadsided me. I have side airbags, the curtain airbags and the ones in the seat. Not one airbag deployed. Chrysler is saying the impact was not sufficient to deploy the bags. I don't accept that. The damage to my car was $8,500.00 and had to replace both front and rear doors and the entire side frame. The air bags should have deployed.
