AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. ALONG WITH THE SWIGGLY ROAD LIGHT. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE ON. THE OTHER ISSUE BEING THE SHIFTER CABLE OF THE CAR, I HAVE USED MY SHIFTER AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. MY BREAKS, HOWEVER, DID WORK SO I USED THEM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST. IF I WAS TRYING A MANUAL DODGE DART I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I STOPPED USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE HOWEVER IT SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL THAT I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT FOR MONTHS TO GET REPAIRED AND I WAS CONTINUALLY TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED AND I NEVER WAS. TODAY, ON AUGUST 1, 2019 AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING LOT, MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE FAILED AND CAUSED MY CAR TO GET STUCK IN REVERSE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT TO PLACE MY CAR IN DRIVE. I HAD TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLES UNDER THE HOOD AND THE GEAR COVER FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND MANUALLY SWITCH MY CAR TO NEUTRAL AND HAVE MY CAR PUSHED HOME. I THEN CALLED MOPAR TO ASK WHAT THE REMEDY WAS FOR FIXING THE RECALL ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AND THAT I WOULD LATER GET REIMBURSED. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME NOW DUE TO MY FINANCES AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AN ACTIVE RECALL WAS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY I WILL NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ISSUE.
