A/C DIED IN 2018; I DECIDED TO WAIT TO REPAIR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEEDED FREON. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. SINCE THE CAR IS COMPUTERIZED I HAVE TO PAY FOR UPDATES AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON DUE TO TWO BAD HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT. AN UPDATE WAS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED OF THE CAR JUMPING, THE CAR STILLS JUMPS. THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY DETERIORATING AT MY EXPENSE. CHRYSLER HAS STATED THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

"TAKATA RECALL". MY AIRBAG LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE LIT UP ALONG WITH THE SEATBELT LIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF WITH THE SEATBELT ON CORRECTLY AND NOTHING SITTING IN ANY OF THE PASSENGER SEATS. THE DASH DISPLAYS A MESSAGE OF "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM". WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE DASH DISPLAYS"DRIVER SEATBELT UNBUCKLED" WHILE MY SEATBELT IS BUCKLED. I HAVE CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR RECALLS AND NONE ARE CURRENTLY LISTED WITH THE NHTSA OR THE DEALERSHIP UNDER MY PARTICULAR VIN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTER AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ORC ("OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER") WAS NON RESPONSIVE. THEY (CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER EMPLOYEE) INFORMED ME THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SAFETY DEVICE THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. WHILE SITTING IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE MOTOR RUNNING IN A PARKING LOT THERE WERE THREE LOUD POPS IN MY VEHICLE AND A SMELLY SMOKY SUBSTANCE THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT SEE ANY AIR BAGS VISIBLY DEPLOY.
