AIR BAGS
UPON RECEIVING MY LETTER INFORMING ME THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR RECALL REPAIRS (R25 AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING), I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS THEM INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT I WOULD BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST AND CONTACTED IN APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS TO SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT AS THEY WERE ONLY SCHEDULING 4 SUCH REPAIRS A DAY. AS THE LETTER I RECEIVED INDICATED SUCH REPAIRS WOULD BE PERFORMED IN A "REASONABLE TIME", I BELIEVE I AM BEING PLACED IN A POSITION OF UNDUE RISK FOR THIS LENGTH OF TIME. THIS COULD BE REMEDIED SIMPLY BY INCREASING MECHANICS AVAILABLE TO THE RECALL PROJECTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DRIVE A 2006 300C HEMI W/60K MILES.I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A FRIEND. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THIS CITY SINCE 2006. MID DAY TEMPS 105'. I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS IN TOWN. I HAD STOPPED AT 7 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND A FEW MINUTES LATER RETURNED TO THE CAR AND CONTINUED WITH MY ERRANDS. I WAS IN THE CAR SITTING AT A 4 LANE INTERSECTION WAITING FOR MY TURN AND I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND THE OIL CAN LIGHT CAME ON, THEN TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AND I COULDN'T, MY CAR HAD STALLED. I TURNED OFF THE A/C UNIT, THE RADIO AND PUT IT IN PARK. I TRIED 6 OR SO TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T .I ENGAGED MY FLASHERS WHILE OTHER DRIVERS WERE HONKING AND DRIVING AROUND ME.I LEFT IT IN TRAFFIC AND GOT TO THE SIDEWALK OUT OF DANGER. I WAS CALLING FOR HELP WHEN A MOTORIST PULLED UP BEHIND MY CAR AND ASKED WHATS WRONG. I TOLD HIM IT JUST DIED, SITTING STILL WAITING FOR OUR TURN TO GO THRU THE INTERSECTION. HE GOT IN THE CAR THAT HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HE DROVE IT TO A SAFE PARKING LOT. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THERE IT SITS. I AM AFRAID TO GET STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED ON FEB 13, 2014 CHRYSLER EXTENDS LIFETIME WARRANTY ON 2006, 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMI FUEL TANKS. APPARENTLY, NO ONE HAS DIED YET SO IT DOES NOT QUALITY FOR A RECALL BUT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN QUALIFY FOR THIS WARRANTY?
