Should I help What to estimatedo when PM estimates hours, as without developer input?

I'm a web developer, and I'm doing back-end and front-end to a project of the company I'm currently working at. I have a PM (Project Manager) for this project and I do report to him every day.

Recently, the PM estimated hours to conclude a list of tasks (so, a milestone), but he didn't ask me if it's enough (and he passed this estimative to the customer). So, currently, I see this as a miscommunication or missing teamwork.

So, the questions are I have some specific concerns:

1. Is it correct to the PM define hours without contacting the software's developers?
2. Should I help the PM to estimate hours?
3. Who is the responsible for, if, in an example, I the devloper can't do the feature in definedthe time allocated by the PM?

Thank you.How can I address these concerns to the PM? Should I try addressing them?
