AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND A LADY PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME TO CROSS OVER THE INTERSECTION. MY JEEP HIT HER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MY HOOD FLEW UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD, BUMPER FELL OFF THE VEHICLE AND ENTIRE SIDE PANEL WAS RIPPED BACK TO THE DOOR AND NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

AIR BAGS
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER. I HAVE A 2002 JEEP WRANGLER THAT NOW NEEDS A CLOCK SPRING REPAIR. MY HORN WAS NOT WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO USE,THEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS CAUSED MY AIR BAG SYSTEM NOT TO WORK AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST IS $300.00 AND I FEEL REALLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS FAR AS ALL AIR BAGS. DUE TO ITS SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND WHAT THESE CLOCK SPRINGS ARE DOING IN THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES! THIS SHOULD BE A REPAIR COVERED BY CHRYSLER.. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM I FOUND A SAFETY BULLETIN #0801001 THAT WARNED ABOUT CLOCK SPRINGS IN MY WRANGLER AND JEEP LIBERTY. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO BULLETIN. I FOUND THE BULLETIN ON YOUR WEB SITE. I WOULD LIKE YOUR INPUT PLEASE. THANKS .MIKE. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR HAS 30,000 MILES, HAS NOT BEEN "OFF ROAD" OR MISUSED. PROBLEM(S) STARTED AT ABOUT 27,000. . INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO LOSE POWER. IF MOTOR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED, POWER COMES ON AGAIN. *AK 2. INTERMITTENTLY, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN SIGNALING FOR A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THEN TURN ON AGAIN WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS OFF. 3. AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO COOL ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELECTRICAL SMELL BEFORE FINALLY FAILING TO COOL ALTOGETHER. 4. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GO ON AND OFF. NO CONSEQUENCES TO DATE OTHER THAN THE STRESS OF HAVING AN UNDEPENDABLE AND HOT VEHICLE IN MIAMI. MECHANICS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I AM TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW AIR CONDITIONER BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME.
