AIR BAGS
MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON SO I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER WHERE I WAS TOLD A WIRE HAD HAD PROBABLY BECOME DISCONNECTED. THEY SAID ALL I HAD TO DO WAS MAKE SURE THE ENDS WERE CONNECTED. IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE. THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AGAIN. I FIGURED IT WAS THE PLUG AND DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION SINCE I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. UNTIL MY AIRBAGS EXPLODED IN MY FACE ONE DAY AS I WAS LEAVING WORK. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS HIT IN THE FACE, CHEST AND LEGS BY THE AIRBAGS. I THEN HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIRBAG WENT OFF AS DID THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG..I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ THE OTHER AIRBAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. THE COPS DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN BUT I WASN'T GIVEN A TICKET. I KNOW THEY WENT OFF BEFORE THE WRECK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. *DT*JB

THIS IS A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND CAN'T BE MOVED. AT THIS TIME, IT HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASSIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEK SPAN.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT?S BEEN AT LEAST 8MONTHS SINCE I?VE DRIVEN MY OWN CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAFETY HAZARDS ON IT AND I AM PREGNANT. I FEEL TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THINKING THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WANTS TO ACT UP. SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD FINANCED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD POP ON AND OFF. THE CAR STARTED TO STAY AT A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD OR LONG I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS WAS ONGOING FOR MONTHS.. IT WAS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND I DIDN?T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR AFTER JUST FINANCING ONE AND BEING YOUNG IN THE MILITARY. I HAD TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME UP BECAUSE THE SENSOR FOR MY OIL WASN'T READING AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME UP BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT MUST'VE STEPPED ON IT AND IT WOULD STILL WORK BUT THE LIGHT WOULD BE THERE. A LOT OF [XXX] BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH SO I WENT OFF OF WHAT THEY SAID. LATER ON THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTH I BELIEVE I HAD REPLACED MY LIGHTS 8 TIMES THINKING THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO CHANGE IT THAT OFTEN. AGAIN I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. BUT AFTER GETTING IT CHECKED THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME I HAVE WIRING ISSUES AND I MY HEAD LIGHTS AND HIGHBEAMS DON?T WORK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. AND AFTER LETTING A FRIEND USE MY CAR FOR A DAY I BELIEVE THEY'VE GONE OUT COMPLETELY. TODAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LITERALLY 5MIN AWAY FROM MY HOUSE TO THE STORE TO JUST TURN IT ON AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. OH AND MY BATTERY HAS GONE OUT BEFORE ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST AND IT DID THAT TO ME TODAY WHILE I WAS ON A HILL WHICH WAS REALLY DANGEROUS.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP ODDLY FAST AND THEN I WOULD GET TO ALERTS SIMULTANEOUSLY 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT' AND 'SERVICE ELEC. THROTTLE CONTROL' I TURN OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO DOWN. I'M NOT SURE HOW CONCERNED I SHOULD BE OR IF THIS IS A COMMON ERROR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS AROUND 35,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH SLOW ACCELERATION AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. IF I AM APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND I START TO SLOW TO STOP, THE CAR WILL JERK TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE BRAKE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR JERKS TO THE POINT THAT IF I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD MOST LIKELY HIT THEM. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE RPM NEEDLE WAS PAST 4 AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD SOUND. I TRIED TO GO SLOWER BUT THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO AN INTERSTATE, THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SPEED UP. IT WILL BE STUCK AROUND 50-55 AND I REALLY HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO SPEED UP. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND ONCE WHILE PULLING IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RELATING THE A TRANSMISSION ERROR I GOT AS WELL AS A COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR AND MENTIONED THE ISSUES WITH THE JERKING AND STALLING BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE OR GET A CODE. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS A BIT ALARMING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO START GIVING ISSUES.
