NHTSA Complaint #10593879 — 1994 CHRYSLER LHS

MY FATHER NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIFTING, AND WARPING SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NEW, YET CHRYSLER REFUSED SAYING THAT IT WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE MATERIAL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR THE 1994 LHS AND NUMEROUS TECHNICAL BULLETINS. EVEN THOUGH IT IS 20 YEARS OLD, THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE AIRBAG CONDITION HAS WORSENED TREMENDOUSLY, AND POSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 13K MILES, HAS BEEN GARAGED, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. THIS POSES AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, AND RESULT IN DEATH. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEIR SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, YET THEY REFUSE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR
