TAKATA RECALL: MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITH THE CHRYLSER CORPORATION ITSELF, MY COMPLAINT IS THE WAY THAT DEALERSHIPS (ANCIRA CHRYSLER AND INGRAM PARK CHRYSLER) ARE HANDLING IT. I AM ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET MY CHRYSLER 300 AIRBAG REPLACED, AND I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER TO GET IT DONE - AND IN THE NOTICES IT SAYS THAT IT TAKES 2 HOURS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I CONTACT A DEALER TO GET IT DONE, THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS RECALL, THEY ARE 4-6 WEEKS AWAY FROM GETTING TO MY VEHICLE, I WILL HAVE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE THERE FOR 3-5 DAYS, AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE - BUT THEY NEVER DO. THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE EVEN HELPED ME CALL THEM AND THEY NEVER PICK UP THE PHONE. THEY ARE PURPOSELY TRYING TO DISSUADE PEOPLE FROM GETTING IT DONE. I AM A WORKING SINGLE PARENT, WITH ONE VEHICLE - IT'S ALL I CAN AFFORD. I DON'T WANT MY FACE BLOWN OFF BY MY AIRBAG, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY JOB EITHER. WHAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE DOING IS IRRESPONSIBLE, DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE PROHIBITED. THEY ARE NOT PUTTING ANY PRIORITY INTO THE RESOLUTION OF THIS RECALL - AND ARE AS GUILTY AS CHRYSLER IN THEIR COVER UP OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

I AM UNABLE TO GET THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WE HAVE TRIED BOTH OF THE SHIFT OVERRIDE BUTTONS AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I JUST HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF SHOCK ISSUES ON THE TRUNK AND HOOD. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING HOSE, AS THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING. I DROVE THE CAR HOME, PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND NOW IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THEY MESSED SOMETHING UP WHEN THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING HOSE. THE TOWING COMPANY (AAA) SAYS THEY HAUL ABOUT 5 - 6 OF THIS EXACT ISSUE EACH MONTH!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA AIR BAG WAS REPLACED BUT DEALER WAS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO TELL WHICH AIR BAG WAS USED AS THE REPLACEMENT DEVICE. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT, THE GPS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK, WHEN I TURN ON THE RADIO I GET A BING BING BING SOUND. DEALER SAYS IT IS MY JOB TO REPLACE RADIO AND GPS SYSTEM FOR ALMOST $2,000 - LABOR NOT INCLUDED. NEW RADIO AND GPS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CAR AT THIS TIME. LOCAL VENDOR SUGGESTED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR THE WRONG MAKE/MODEL WAS USED TO GET THE JOB DONE AND GET RID OF ME. I HAD ALSO READ ON YOUR LIST OF RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL THERE WAS A RADIO THAT EXPLODED. I NEED THE RADIO AND PARTICULARLY THE GPS TO WORK AND THE CAR WILL HAVE REDUCED RESALE VALUE WITHOUT EITHER OF THOSE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. DEALER ORDERED A NEW GPS DISC AND TRIED TO LOAD IT TO MAKE THE SYSTEM FUNCTION ONCE AGAIN, BUT THE GPS SYSTEM WOULD NOT LOAD THE NEW DISC.
