The failure pattern owners describe
The 2010 Chrysler 300 airbag problem splits into two categories: complete deployment failure during crashes and years-long parts shortages blocking recall repairs.
Deployment Failures: Six owners describe actual collisions where airbags did not deploy despite crashes occurring at 20–45 mph. One driver had a seizure at 45 mph and hit another car; airbags didn't deploy, and the driver suffered neck and sternum injuries. Another crashed at 30 mph due to sun glare—no deployment, whiplash and cervical strain. A third T-boned a vehicle; total loss, no airbag deployment, no serious injuries but litigation obstacles. A fourth was hit during a police chase at 25 mph—both occupants injured, vehicle destroyed. A fifth hit a tree at 20–25 mph—neck, knee, and back injuries. A sixth crashed through a crosswalk at speed—concussions and bruising. All owners sustained injuries that functional airbags might have mitigated.
Recall Delays: About 40 owners received Takata recall notices (15V313000 or 16V352000) but cannot obtain repairs. Parts remain unavailable, with dealers unable to provide timelines. One owner waited over 15 months without parts; others report being told to keep driving unsafe vehicles. Dealers cite manufacturer backorders; Chrysler cannot give estimated delivery dates. One owner asked the dealer to disconnect the dangerous airbag; the dealer refused, claiming liability. Owners feel abandoned by both manufacturer and dealer during an open safety campaign.

Failure modes owners describe
Airbag Failure to Deploy in Crashes
Multiple owners report airbags failing to deploy during actual collisions at various speeds (20-45 mph), resulting in injuries that airbags should have prevented. Crashes ranged from head-on impacts to side collisions. Some vehicles were subject to recalls (Takata) at the time of the failure.
When: During crashes at 20-45 mph; failure mileages reported at 50,000, 80,000, 182,000, and 188,760 miles
