Consumer Description

(1)THE REAR SEATS ON THE CHRYSLER 300 C CAME FORWARD IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. THE WEIGHT OF THE LUGGAGE IN THE TRUNK PUSHED AGAINST THE SEAT, BROKE THE LATCH AND PUT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AGAINST A 9 AND 11 YEAR OLD HELD IN BY THE SEAT BELT. IT CAUSED THEIR BACKS TO BREAK AND CAUSED MAJOR INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THEIR ORGANIC. (2)ON IMPACT (WHICH WAS A HEAD ON) THE CAR LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DOORS AND TRUNK TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS CAUSED A MAJOR DELAY IN REMOVING THE BOYS FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. (3)EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION A FIRE BROKE OUT IN THE TRUNK DESTROYING EVERYTHING. THE CAR IS RAPPED IN PLASTIC AND STORED UNDER COVER. *JB
