VEHICLE WENT IN FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TWICE RIGHT BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTH TIMES. JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 75K MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ADVISED THE WHOLE WIRING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED. GOT IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO STATED THEY ARE WILLING TO ONLY PAY FOR THE $1200+ PART BUT THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400 IN LABOR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON. TYPICALLY WHEN ENCOUNTERING A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE. SAFFORD JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN WINCHESTER VA IS THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CONTINUED SERVICE AT THE SAME LOCATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND CURRENTLY THERE AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. IF THIS CAN BE SETTLED IN ANY MANNER, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER PROVIDE A REFUND FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND RUNNING.

FOR ABOUT 30K MILES NOW MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN CHARGE MUCH, MUCH MORE TO "FIX" THE AIRBAGS. WHY ARE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED NOT ALWAYS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A THIRD PARTY TECH THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON. TH…

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2019. VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE CAR IS AT COLLEGE, OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN HER AREA WILL NOT FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE BECAUSE THE VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I'M AT A LOSS SINCE THE COST OF REPAIR IS HIGH. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SHE IS GOING TO SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIPS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY BE HURT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM-FREE? THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CAR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON OR ABOUT THE DATE LISTED BELOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY 200 VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIR BAG LIGHT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, ABOUT MAY, 2016. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED SO I IGNORED IT. THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AFTER MAY, 2016 DATE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE LIGHT. IT REMAINS ON TO THIS DATE. REPAIR ON TIRE THAT SHOWED A LIGHT WAS REFUSED ON JUNE 7, 2017. THIS TIRE LIGHT REMAINS A PROBLEM. NOW, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT STALLING AND WILL NOT RUN WHEN IT RAINS. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE BLOCKED BECAUSE I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS TO GO UPHILL AFTER IT STALLS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. NOW, I WARM THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES TO SHOW THE ENGINE IS READY. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FAILED EMISSION TESTING IN SEPT. 2019. THE TUNE UP DONE THIS MONTH DID NOT HELP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MATTERS CAUSED THE EMISSION TESTING TO FAIL. MY COMPLAINT IS DIRECTED TO THE GAS PROBLEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR ALONG WITH THE TIRE LIGHT.

Official recalls

18V332000 · Electrical System:software; Electrical System:wiring; Vehicle Speed Control:cruise Control

May 17, 2018

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
