FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MY CAR WHEN THE GAS TANK IS AUTO FILLED ALL THE WAY, UNTIL IT CLICKS, THEN IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO RESTART SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO RESTART.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO ROUTE 29, WITHIN MINUTES OF HAVING LEFT THE GAS STATION, AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING ANY MORE. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN COASTING IT PARTLY OFF THE ROAD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEARNED, AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL THE STALL OUTS DON'T HAPPEN.

AIR BAGS
NHTSA THROUGH MAIL ADVISED US TO TAKE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHANGE AIRBAGS. WE DID. JUNE 14,2018. ON NOVEMBER 3,2018 WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE AIRBAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW UP IN MY FACE INJURING ME AND BURNED ME AND CUT ME. PARAMEDICS CAME AND I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT 2 WEEKS IN PAIN AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AND RINGING IN MY EARS FOR A WEEK. MY CAR INSURANCE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, IT WENT OFF ON ITS OWN, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AS DEALERSHIP SAID. THE AIRBAG WENT OFF WHEN CAR WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT SLOWLY IN MOTION.
