AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID WOULD BE FEE FOR DOING SENSOR CHECK. WE CALLED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I TOOK TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY RAN A SENSOR CHECK FOR FREE FOR ME AND THEY SAID THERE WERE "ZERO" ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WHICH IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE THE LIGHT AND DINGING COME ON INTERMITTENTLY EVERY FEW MINUTES WHEN DRIVING. WHAT IS STRANGE IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING THE CAR. WHEN I DRIVE IT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THE LADY AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS STRANGE, BUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION RECOGNIZES DIFFERENT PEOPLE DRIVING AND TRIES TO ADJUST FOR IT AND MAYBE THAT WAS IT? THE OTHER DEALERS SAID THAT WAS SOMETHING THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF. MEANWHILE, THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF THERE IS NO SENSOR LIGHT APPEARING WHEN I TAKE IT IN, OR NOT SHOWING UP ON THE ERROR REPORT FROM THE SCAN. SO, I AM STUCK WITH DRIVING A CAR THAT CONSTANTLY DINGS, LIGHTS COME ON, AND WHEN I READ THE MANUAL IT SAID "TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY IF THIS HAPPENS!". IT IS SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR, TO WORRY WHETHER MY AIRBAG IS GOING TO EXPLODE AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. I WOULD SINCERELY REQUEST CHRYSLER TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN HARRISONBURG VA TO BE REPAIRED. THEY ONLY FIXED THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS. MY CAR FAILED A STATE INSPECTION DUE TO MY AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING. I HAVE READ THAT "CERTAIN" CHRYSLER 200'S 2012 THEY ARE TO REPROGRAM THE TIPM THEN REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE IF NEEDED. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $400. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED BASED ON THE VIN AND MY ISSUE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TWO KIDS MY CAR HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR DAMAGED AND I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AN AIRBAG SHOULD NOT BECOME DEFECTIVE IN 4 YEARS. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS WHAT OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 200S HAVE ALSO. I AM STILL UNABLE TO HAVE MY CAR PASS A STATE INSPECTION AND I ALSO INFORMED CHRYSLER THAT WHEN PASSENGERS RIDE IN THAT SEAT THEY ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK BY NOT ACTING QUICKLY. IT IS DANGEROUS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL 2012 200'S. IT HEY INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DASH I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WHAT IF MY AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY? I WILL LIVE WITH THAT THE REST OF MY LIFE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE. JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH AT THIS TIME OR THE TIME FRAME THEY CLAIM THE DEFECTS WERE INSTALLED DOESN'T MEAN THE PART THEY INSTALLED ISN'T DEFECTIVE. I HOPE YOU ALL TAKE THIS MATTER VERY SERIOUSLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD TAKE OR SAVE LIVES.

I GET A RECALL ABOUT AIR BAG (SOMETHING ABOUT THE SEATS) AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. TOOK IT BACK, AND THE DEALER, HERMAN JENKINS IN UNION CITY TN, STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TODAY I HAVE A AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC, THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS ON THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER, IF THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX A PRODUCT THEY SELL!.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE ISSUE IS IN THE ELECTRICAL WARNING SYSTEM. THE WARNING INDICATES AIR BAG. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND HAS STAYED ON CONTINUES TO STAY ON. IT DOES NOT FLASH IT JUST STAYS ON. ON THE START OF THE VEHICLE ONCE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON AND THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT CONTINUES TO STAY ON WHILE VEHICLE TURNED ON AND RUNNING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE A RECALL WITH THE MODULAR.
