AIR BAGS
I CONTACTED TETERBORO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, IN LATE JUNE 2014 TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A SAFETY RECALL DEFECT. I HAD RECEIVED A NOTICE SOMETIME IN JUNE OF 2014. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BY TELEPHONE, IT TOOK THREE CALLS TO TRY TO REACH THE SERVICE MANAGER. ON THE THIRD PHONE CALL I WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THIS FREE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IN THE SECOND PHONE CALL THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS IN A MEETING. AFTER GOING TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM TETERBORO CHRYSLER CALLED AND OFFERED TO FIX THE DEFECT. HE SAID HE HEARD FROM NHTSA. I FEEL THAT TETERBORO CHRYSLER HAD A BAD ATTITUDE AND THEY ONLY CHANGED THEIR MIND AFTER I BROUGHT A LETTER TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE OF CONGRESSMAN SCOTT GARRETT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
UPON PICKING MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED CONVERTIBLE UP FROM THE DEALER AFTER IT WAS THERE FOR A FEW DAYS FOR A RECALL FOR THE HEAD RESTRAINT (N38) AND HAD AN ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACED I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT LIGHT WAS OFF. SO FAR THE HEATED SEAT ITSELF SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (DANBURY, CT) AND LET THEM KNOW OF THE ISSUE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME EVEN THOUGH TO ME AND TO ANY LOGICAL PERSON THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF WORK THEY DID TO MY CHRYSLER, AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO SOME SORT OF OTHER PROBLEM. FOR IT TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING COMPUTER UPDATES, ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENTS AND OTHER WORK THEY DID IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. I AM UNEMPLOYED AND IN GRAD. SCHOOL AND CANNOT, NOR SHOULD NOT, PAY FOR ADDITIONAL WORK DONE TO THIS LEMON OF A CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE HEATED SEAT LIGHT. AND TO ALL PROSPECTIVE CHRYSLER BUYERS - RUN. *TR
