MY VEHICLE HAS A LOUD RATTLE/CLUNK COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIREWALL. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE WITH NO RESULTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER HEARD THE NOISE DURING A TEST DRIVE WITH ME, BUT NOW CLAIMS THAT THERE ARE NO NOISES IN MY CAR "OUT OF THE NORM". I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE SOMETHING SERIOUS, SINCE NO ONE GAS DETERMINED THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WILL NOT GET INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT IT IS A DEALER PROBLEM.

I AM POA FOR JAMES HAMPTON OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION , JAMES HAMPTON SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURY , THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS DOWN AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. OBSERVING HIM PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE I MADE THE OBSERVATION THAT HE DIDN'T APPEAR TO FIT THIS CAR WELL, HE IS SIX FOOT THREE INCHES TALL, TOP OF WINDSHIELD IS ABOUT MID FOREHEAD IN HEIGHT ON HIM, AT TIME OF INCIDENT AIR BAG DID DEPLOY, STILL SEVERE HEAD INJURY TO FOREHEAD ON LEFT SIDE, OBSERVATION OF INJURY AND LOCATION LEADS ME TO QUESTION THAT HAD HE BEEN UNDER SIX FOOT IN HEIGHT AIR BAG WOULD HAVE AFFORDED MORE PROTECTION FROM IMPACT OF WINDSHIELD, OR IF HEIGHT OF WINDSHIELD WAS HIGHER IMPACT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT, CAR WAS DETERMINED A LOSS. I AM CONCERNED THAT CONSUMER HEIGHT, ABOVE AVERAGE COULD POSSIBLY PREDISPOSE ONE TO MORE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY DUE TO HEIGHT OF WINDSHIELD RELEVANT TO AREA OF IMPACT.
