NHTSA Complaint #10954134 — 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONV

POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL!!! WHILE COMING DOWN AND AROUND A CORNER ON A HIGHWAY THERE WAS A CAR TURNING AND I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIMES TO STOP. WHICH CAUSED ME TO REAREND THE OTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY SO WE HAD MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE TOP DOWN. I WAS DRIVING WHILE MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DIRECTLY BEHIND HER AND MY 7 YEAR OLD NIECE BEHIND ME. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY 15 YEAR OLD WHOM WAS WEARING HER SEATBELT WAS THROWN FORWARD DUE TO HER SEATBELT LOCKING MECHANISM NOT LOCKING. THANKFULLY THE SEATBELT EVENTUALLY CAUGHT HER BY THE RIGHT THIGH SAVING HER FROM BEING EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. SHE SUBSTAINED WHAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A LIFE THREATENING LACERATION TO LEFT SIDE (BUT MORE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE) OF HER FOREHEARD DIRECTLY ABOVE HER LEFT EYEBROW. THE LACERATION WAS 8CM, THE SHAPE OF A CROSS, AND IT WAS 3 LAYERS DEEP. MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER WHOM WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND HER HAD A PATCH OF SKIN ON TOP OF HER LEFT FOOT THAT WAS CUT OFF. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOMEONE TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE INSURANCE COMPANY GETS RID OF IT IN THE NEXT WEEK. WE ARE NOT SURE IF MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S HEAD WAS CUT FROM AIRBAG SHRAPNEL FLYING OUT SINCE THE SIZE, SHAPE, AND LOCATION OF THE LASERATION IS THE SAME SIZE, SHAPE AND LOCATION ON ONE OF THE BIGGER TRAKATA AIR BAG INJURIES THAT IS OUT THERE PUBLICLY. OR IF HER INJURY WAS DUE TO HER HITTING HER HEAD ON SOMETHING DUE TO THE FACT THAT HER SEATBELT LOCKING MECHANISM WAS NOT WORKING. EITHER WAY THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR WORSE YET KILLED... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS...* THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE BUT WOULD THEN GO OFF WHEN YOU MOVED THE PASSENGER CHAIR BACK OR FORTH. THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLES ARE JUST NOW RECALLING.
