AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FIRST CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. AT ONE TIME I COULD ADJUST THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I SEE THAT THE 2004 MODEL HAS A RECALL, AND MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LATE 2004, BUT IS NOT ON THE RECALL VIN LIST. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS MAY MEAN THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL, BUT RATHER THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE 2005 MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS LOOKS LIKE A LONG STANDING PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN THE 2005 MODEL.

NOTICED THE "PASS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT" WAS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. THEN I RECEIVED A P41 IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AFTER SWITCH REPLACEMENT. MY REASONING IS THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ORIGINALLY CAME ON BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE AIR BAG AND/OR IT'S SENSOR CIRCUITRY. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE UNDER THIS RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT PROBLEM WITH HOPEFULLY NO COST TO ME.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME APART. REPLACED DOOR HANDLE. NOW THE TWO BACK SEAT DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING APART. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO GET OUT. ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM IF THERE ARE CHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK. IT NEVER SHOULD BE THAT ALL DOOR HANDLES ON A CAR COME APART.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE OF PASSENGER DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER CRACKED AND FELL OFF. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AND IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, OCCUPANTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS
I BOUGHT THIS CAR NOV. 2015. (CAR WAS STATIONARY) I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SEAT BELT UNTIL I TRIED PUT MY GRAND CHILD IN MIDDLE BACK SEAT AND NOTICED THE SEAT BELT WAS STUCK AND WAS NOT USABLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON SAME ISSUE, IT TURNS OUT THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A LAW THAT ALL MUST WEAR THEM. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER THE TO FIX 2 OTHER RECALL ISSUES THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $500 TO FIX THE SEAT BELT ISSUE AND THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN! I STRONGLY FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S THE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF SPERATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, STOPPED AND EVEN WHEN PARKED. I HAVE TO FLICK THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF TO TRY TO GET LIGHTS TO STAY ON. THIS IS SCARY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I'M SURE IT IRRITATES THE HECK OUT OF ANYONE WHO SEE'S MY LIGHTS FLICKERING.
