WHAT:Chrysler victims who have been severely injured and families with parents or children who died as a result of unsafe defective Chrysler cars will hold a press conference and also attempt to personally deliver a letter to New Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne and the new Chrysler Board of Directors.  The new Board is meeting on Monday for the first time, beginning a 3-day briefing/formal board meeting.  The families are asking Chrysler to restore consumer protections that were eliminated during the bankruptcy process when the company refused to take responsibility for deaths and injuries caused by safety defects in any Chrysler vehicles now on road. The victims want consumers to know that Chrysler is the only car company in the world that is not responsible for deaths and injuries caused by defects in future crashes.  General Motors, which went through the same bankruptcy process, agreed to take responsibility for defective GM vehicles when fatalities and injuries occur after this month's bankruptcy, but Chrysler is evading its responsibility.

At the event, there will be a defective Chrysler minivan on display.  The minivan was rear ended in 2007 and both front seats collapsed resulting in the death of one child in the back seat.  A second child in the back seat suffered a skull fracture. This is a common safety defect in millions of Chrysler minivans.  Other visuals include consumers holding "Justice for Chrysler Victims" signs and posters created by victims displaying photos of loved ones who were injured or killed by defective Chrysler vehicles.
