I COULD START THE CAR BACK UP TO GET OFF THE ROAD ALL I COULD DO WAS CRY AND PRAY THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK! THAT SOMEONE WOULD HELP ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! THAT I WOULD SEE MY CHILDREN AGAIN! CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND SAT IN MY BECAUSE I WAS NOT PREPARED TO PLAY FROGGER WITH MY LIFE! GOOGLING A HOW TO. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR ME THERE WAS NO OPTION.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS IN MY AVENGER. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE RESTRAINTS AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I FREQUENTLY CARRY MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THAT VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT EVEN DESIGNED - OR AVAILABLE, AND WILL NOT BE UNTIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. I AM IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER - AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE USING MY CREDIT CARD - AND THEN REIMBURSE ME. HOWEVER, THIS COULD GO ON FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY HAVE PROPERLY NOTIFIED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC OF THE DANGERS OF THE FAILURE OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING THEM WITH MY CREDIT CARD TO OBTAIN A SAFE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT WAS SAFE AND SOUND. PLEASE HELP ME.

SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
I WROTE PREVIOUSLY ON THE BRAKES NOT WORKING RESULTING IN ACCIDENT BUT I CAN'T FIND WHERE TO UPDATE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT SO I'LL ADD TO IT HERE. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THE SPEED AT TIME OF ACCIDENT WAS 21 MPH, RED LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED. THE OTHER 2 THE BRAKES CAME RIGHT BACK. THE ACCIDENT DID RESULT IN THE VEHICLE BEING TOTALED. THANK GOODNESS NO INJURIES BUT WHAT WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED IS THE AIRBAGS DID INDEED DEPLOY, THANK GOODNESS, BUT THE DRIVER SEATBELT DID NOT HOLD. WHEN THEY GOT HIM OUT OF THE DRIVER SEAT, THE SEATBELT WAS ACROSS HIM BUT NO LONGER BUCKLED. IT WAS JUST LAYING ACROSS HIM, BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE DRIVER. I DID RECEIVE A OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER NOTIFICATION SAYING THERE IS A RECALL BUT IT SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX YET. THIS IS BEYOND SCARY. ESPECIALLY SINCE WE OWN TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE VEHICLES UNTIL A FIX WAS MADE AVAILABLE SO DRIVING THE OTHER AVENGER IS VERY SCARY. I SURE HOPE THERE IS A REMEDY SOON. THE RECALL IS ALSO FOR THE AIRBAGS WHICH I THANK MY LUCKY STARS AT LEAST THEY DID DEPLOY. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED 11/16/2016. PHOTOS ATTACHED. *TR

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES FOR A FAULTY OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER IN MY VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN FIVE CASES OF INJURY OUT OF THE THOUSANDS OF CAR OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT INJURY COULD ENSUE BUT IT WAS UNLIKELY. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR BOUGHT BACK. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND NEED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS PROBLEM REMEDIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO ME AND MY FAMILY CAN SAFELY DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.
