NHTSA complaints for the 2022 Chrysler 300, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
In a collision, the air bags do not deploy. Both complaints on file describe this, and both crashes caused injuries. The impacts happen at road speed, between 40 mph and about 50-55 mph. With no air bag, occupants report hitting the steering wheel and needing treatment for pain in the face, back, and shoulders. One failure happened at roughly 5,000 miles, so a low-mileage car is not automatically safe from it. Two reports is a small sample, but an air bag that stays silent in a real crash is the most serious failure a restraint system can have.
Excerpts from complaints 300 owners filed with NHTSA, as written. Listen for the same symptoms on your test drive.
I got into a car accident in 08/28/25 @8:30pm and on impact I was going about 50-55mph and not a single one of my air bags came out. I also know that there are no recalls on my vehicle for air bags.

Recall repairs are free at any Chrysler dealer, but the seller may never have had them done. Check each campaign number against the VIN.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.".
Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.
