AIR BAGS
CHRYSLER RECALL S61 FOR OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PARTS WERE FINALLY AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL BUT AFTER MORE THAN ONE MONTH THE WORK HAS YET TO BE SCHEDULED. I HAVE CALLED ALL OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THEY CANCELLED AT THE LAST MINUTE SINCE THE PARTS NEVER CAME IN. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME A DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS ARE TO BE RELEASED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER IN JULY INDICATING PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND TO SCHEDULE THE WORK BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. CHRYSLER WAS TO CHECK ON PARTS AND NOTIFY ME THIS WEEK BUT THEY DID NOT DO SO. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO FIND OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN PARTS WILL BE READY BUT THEY SYA IT IS UP TO CHRYSLER. ALL THE TIME CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT SEEMS NOT TOO INTERESTED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. UPDATED 10/23/2017*JS

WHILE TURNING ONTO THE ON RAMP OF THE FREEWAY ONE MORNING, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO QUICKLY GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE LANES.

DROVE ABOUT A MILE (AT 32MPH AS THE MAX SPEED THE CAR WOULD ALLOW) AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN PROMPTING TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUE THIS TIME. MADE IT TO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE, 3 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE IT STOPPED THE SECOND TIME, AND IT STOPPED AGAIN.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AT 4:35 PM. GOT ON HWY 25 MILES WEST GOING HOME I-70 WEST TO BONNER SPRINGS, THE CAR STARTED HESITATING, I NEARLY GOT THROWN OFF HIGHWAY BY 3 SEMIS- ADND 2 TRUCKS AND CARS BEHIND ME, LET OFF HORRIBLE BURNING ODOR, AND NEARLY THREW MY BODY OUT OF THE CAR, BUT I HANDLED WELL. I GOT OFF I-70 TO STATE AVENUE- RUNS PARALLEL DIRECTIONS. THEN, WHEN I CAME TO A NUMBER OF LIGHTS- THE ENGINE REVVED UP, LIKE IT WAS JERKING MOTIONS. I PAID IT SOME ATTENTION, BUT WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I THOUGHT I WAS ON A RACE TRACK ENGINES REVVED UP, BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO A RACE TRACK. SO, I CAME HOME- SETTLED NOW DOWN TO2:445 IN THE MORNING VERY SHAKEN UP. SO, I NOTIFIED THE TELEVISIONS NEWS STATIONS AND THE KANSAS CITY STAR NEWSPAPER AS WE SPEAK. I DECIDED TO READ THE "CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS, AND I AM SURE YOU CAN PULL THEM TOO. I JUST SEARCHED FOR CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS- AND I READ SO MANY "EXACT" STORIES- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I CANNOT SLEEP. THIS IS THE WORST FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD. READ THE REVIEWS. HELP PEOPLE LIVE, AND GET RID OF THESE CARS. JUST THINK, IT HAS GREAT LEG ROOM- I HAD PLANS FOR MY NIECES- TO GO TO TEXAS, WE CANNOT DIE AT ONCE. I AM NOT READY TO BE BURIED- AT LEAST LET ME TEACH A FEW MORE MONTHS AND YEARS. HAD IT BEEN SNOWING, I WOULD BE DEAD. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UP SIDE DOWN, SINCE 4PM. IT IS NOT JUST ME. DON;T LET THESE PEOPLE KILL KIDS,MY NIECES COULD HAVE DIED THIS WEEKEND. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PICK THEM UP, BUT I AM SO SHAKEN,I AM ICE COLD ALL OVER. I PRAY TO GOD- YOU WILL CEASE THESE VEHICLES AT ONCE. PLEASE DON;T LET ANY MORE PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS- AND PLEASE SHOW THESE ON FACE THE NATION ON CHANNEL 5 CBS STATIONS. THANK-GOD- MY NIECES ARE ALIVE. I AM SO GLAD TO BE HOME. I PLAN TO GET A POLICE ESCORT TO THE DEALERSHIP 9/12/2017. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING HONESTY. GOD BLESS US.
