ON JAN 3RD 2019 I HAD AN ACCIDENT (FRONT IMPACT) AND THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED - BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS - THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO MY FACE -- IT WAS 10 INCHES AWAY FROM MY FACE AND IMMEDIATELY DEFUSED. I WAS REALLY APPALLED AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE ITS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND IT WAS NO WAY SAVING MY LIFE. BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT WAS THE SAME WAY. I NEED HELP FROM NHSTA TO INVESTIGATE THE CAR AND IDENTIFY IF INDEED ITS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SO WE CAN WORK WITH THE MANAUFACTURER

INITIALLY THE PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH 1 WEEK AGO THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER TWITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RESTARTING IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR IT SHUTTING DOWN. JUST A PASSENGER RESTRAINT RECALL. LAST FRIDAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 55MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE CAR COULD NOT BE RESTARTED THIS TIME AND WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKEWOOD NJ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TELLING ME IT'S MY BATTERY, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANY ERROR CODES. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY NEWER BATTERY UNTIL I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH MY FLASHERS ON SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT BY THE CARS PASSING BY ME AT 60MPH!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THE STALLING ISSU
