AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MID TO LATE 2018. CAR HAD ~65,000 AT THE TIME. HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS AND CHARGED ME $300 TO FIX IT. MARCH 2019, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. IT APPEARS ON THE DASH FOR NO APPARENT REASON AS I'M DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER THE INITIAL AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARM, THE VISUAL ALARM STAYS ON AND THE AUDIBLE ALARM REPEATS EVERY MINUTE. RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (AUTOPARK CHRYSLER JEEP IN CARY, NORTH CAROLINA) EXPECTING THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED DUE TO THE RECENT REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A DIFFERENT WIRING HARNESS AND IT WOULD BE ~$3300. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THE CAR WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE, HE RESPONDED "ABSOLUTELY". I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE CAR AND IT HAS SAT IDLE SINCE.

THE CAR ENGINE KEEPS ON STALLING WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, VISUAL CUES OR SOUNDS TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEM. AS A RESULT, THE CAR'S POWER STEERING BECOMES INOPERABLE. THE SPEED OF THE CAR VARIES AT THE TIME OF EACH INCIDENT. EACH TIME THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED, THE CAR HAS BECOME DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THERE HAVE BEEN 5 INCIDENTS THIS PAST MONTH. SO FAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESTART AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON ALONG WITH STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. IT USUALLY TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES. DURING THAT TIME, MY CAR IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DURING SOME OF THESE INCIDENTS. IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 2015 200 FOR 3 YEARS AND SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR IT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH ACCELERATING ON ITS ON. IT ACCELERATES WHEN YOU TAP THE BREAKS AND IT WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS ON TAKING IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. SO LAST WEEK MY CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WAS PUT ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH THEN ONCE THE BRAKE WAS TAPPED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOCK UP AND ACCELERATE UP TO 90 MPH. THEN AFTER THE CAR PICKED UP SPEED THE WHOLE CAR LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN OR ANYTHING AND THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING A WALL.
