TAKATA RECALL. I GOT A LETTER COUPLE MONTHS AGO ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS SAYING THAT THEY ARE DEFECTED AND THE COMPANY WHO PUT THEM IN ARE GOING BANKRUPT. SINCE I BEEN DRIVING THE CHRYSLER(2017) ITS HAS BEEN STALLING WHEN I DRIVE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT I ASKED ME MAN WAS THERE ANYTHING WRONG HE SAID NO. THERE IS STILL STALLING WHEN I DRIVE AS IF ITS SWITCHING GEARS(KINDA LIKE A STICK SHIFT) IT'S SCARY BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS AND PLACES I TAKE THE CAR TO IS SAYING ITS ITS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. I'VE DROVE MANY CARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AN I'M ON AUTO CRUISE IT SHIFTS FROM THE # I HAVE IT ON TO A HIGHER LEVEL THEN ONCE AGAIN IT'S LIKE IT WANTS TO STALLS AND KINDA JERKS. THAT'S NOT NORMAL AT ALL BECAUSE IF I'M ON AUTO CRUISE AT 65 MPH WHY WOULDNT OT JUST STAY THERE INSTEAD OF JUST TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS? EVERY DAY WHEN I LEAVE ITS JERKS WHEN I PULL OFF AS I'D IT'S A STICKS SHIFT. HAPPENS LITERALLY ALL THE TIME.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO LEAVE WORK YESTERDAY. IT WAS 101 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURE READING INSIDE THE CAR WAS 110. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OVER TO LEAVE THERE WAS AN ALERT SAYING THAT THE AIR BAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT WENT OFF AS THE CAR WAS COOLING DOWN BUT THEN CAME BACK ON THEN OFF. THE TEMP WENT TO 101 AND HAS NOT COME ON AGAIN AS OF TODAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT CAN EITHER BE THE SENSOR GETTING HOT OR THE ACTUAL AIR BAGS. THE RISK COULD BE THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY WHEN I AM NOT DRIVING OR WHILE I AM DRIVING. OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THEY TELL ME THAT A SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT HAS SHORTED AND THAT IT WILL REQUIRE AN ENTIRE NEW WIRING HARNESS AND A NEW AIRBAG WHICH WILL COST OVER $2,000.

MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2016. IT HAD BEEN REPORTED LATER THE SAME YEAR THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT NOR RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THIS AIR BAG WARNING IS MAKING ME ANXIOUS FOR MY SAFETY. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, BUT HOW IS THAT MY ISSUE. I HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN SIX MOS. IN 2016 IT IS NOW 2018. I THOUGHT THAT SURELY UPON CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN 2016 AND FILING THE COMPLAINT THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BY NOW, BUT TO MY DISMAY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AS LITTLE OF A CONCERN OR INQUIRY REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS PRODUCT.

PARKING BRAKE SENSOR IS FAULTY. DASHBOARD SAYS PARKING BRAKE IS ON. HOWEVER I RESET THE PARK AND LIGHT ON DASH SHOULD GO OFF. DOESN'T. SEAT BELTS ALARM STAYS ON WHEN SEAT BELTS ARE ALL CLICKED CLOSED. FAULTY. AIR BAG FOR PASSENGER SEAT ALWAYS SAYS BROKEN & NOT WORKING, THEREFORE IF IN A ACCIDENT I CAN SUE CHRYSLER FOR INJURIES BECAUSE AIR BAG WON'T DEPLOY. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. FAULTY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THESE 4 ITEMS.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND NOW THE LIGHTS ARE GOING COMPLETELY OUT. I THOUGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE ONLY FEATURE AFFECTED UNTIL TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT AS WELL CREATING A VERY BAD SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. I JUST CHECK IT FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND MY VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER EARLIER MODELS THAT APPEAR TO BE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT WERE COVERED BY RECALL IS THERE ANY WAY THAT A RECALL MAY BE ARRIVING ON THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY BEFORE ALL OF THIS STARTED AS WELL AS A CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR FAULTY COOLANT SENSOR AS WELL. ALL MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRES PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THIS WEEKEND WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON.. ON MARCH 21, 2018 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR ME AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. LATER THAT DAY THE SERVICE MAN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BOTH HAD A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $1080.00 EACH WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THAT HAS ALREADY COSTED ME $2500.00 TO REPAIR. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER SAFETY PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF SERVICE CALLS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED TWO OTHER DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THIS MUST BE AN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALER CALLED OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. AND IT WAS NOT COVERED.
