TAKATA RECALL, WHEN TAKING OUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA. 9600 OLD SEWARD HWY.. LITHIA AUTO STORES # 106... IT WAS OUR BELIEF THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT, TO MUCH SURPRISE THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD NO EFFECT ON REPAIRING THE AIRBAG LIGHT? SHOULDN'T THE RECALL FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WHY WOULD THE DEALERSHIP SAY THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DR. AIRBAG DIDN'T FIX THE AIRBAG LIGHT.. IF THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE OPERATING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLE HARM OR EVEN KILL OCCUPANTS RIDING IN THESE CARS AFFECTED BY A NATIONAL RECALL... MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS CAR DAILY AND IT WOULD UPSET ME AND MY FAMILY IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD POSSIBLE HARM OR EVEN KILL MY KIDS, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WASN'T FIXED RIGHT TO BEGIN WITH.

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS CONTACTED AS TO THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIR EITHER LATE IN THE EVENING AND IT WOULD BE RETURNED THE NEXT DAY. WHEN ASKED WHAT ACCOMMODATION WOULD I RECEIVE WILL THEY HAD CAR FOR REPAIRS I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE NONE. I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW AFTER WAITING ALSO A YEAR TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED I NOW HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD LEAD TO BODILY HARM EVEN DEATH. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IF I DO NOT HAVE AWAY TO DROP IT OFF OR PICK IT UP. THIS IS UNFAIR AND TRULY WRONG.. THIS IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY THIS IS THEIRS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL COST

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL HI, I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL LAST YEAR STATING THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE AND THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FOLLOW UP RECALL NOTICE FROM FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES). SINCE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AS STATED IN THE RECALL LETTER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR FCA TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS? THIS IS GETTING ABSURD AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED BEFORE I AM SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHY CAN'T THE DEALER USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF AIRBAG OR SIMPLY REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE ONE SO I DON'T GET SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN DRIVING MY CAR?? I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH FCA AND THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE. THANK YOU *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THEIR FUEL TANK LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR PAST TWO YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN DEALERSHIP FOR 10 WEEKS DUE TO STALLING AFTER GETTING GAS IN AN ONCOMING INTERSECTION. THEY ARE NOT SENDING THE PARTS AND KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. THEY KEEP GIVING US A CASE MANGER NUMBER THAT NEVER ANSWERS. I GUESS WE ARE TO DRIVE INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC AGAIN AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I THINK ITS TIME THAT THIS BECOMES A MANDATORY RECALL RATHER SENDING OUT FALSE LETTERS THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. I AM SURE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES GETTING THE RUN AROUND OR HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT BECAUSE OUR CARS WILL NOT GO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. CALLED SERVICE DEPT. AT NEAREST DODGE DEALER ON 1/26/16. WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. SERVICE ADVISOR OFFERED TO PUT ME ON THE LIST, WHICH I AGREED TO, AND THEN STATED THERE ARE 10 PEOPLE ON THE LIST, THEN SAID THEY HAVEN'T DONE ONE OF THOSE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. SOUNDS LIKE THE TANK VENDOR IS NOT SUPPLYING THE DEALER WITH ENOUGH TANKS, OR DELAYING THE SHIPMENT OF REPLACEMENT TANKS. THE STALLING PROBLEM IS THE SUBJECT OF MANY NHTSA COMPLAINTS AND MATTER WAS "RESOLVED" BY EXTENDING WARRANTY ON THE TANK TO LIFETIME WARRANTY, BUT THIS DOESN'T HELP IF THE VEHICLE OWNER HAS TO WAIT FOR YEARS FOR THE DEALER TO GET A REPLACEMENT TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK AND DRIVING AWAY FROM STATION CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND STALLS OUT. I REFUEL AND TOP OFF IN A NORMAL FASHION, BY STOPPING PUMP AT FIRST CUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 1 IN 10 TIMES I REFUEL. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND I HAVE REPLACED, PURGE VALVE, CHARCOAL CANISTER, AND VACCUM LEAK VALVE. NO HELP. WHEN IT QUITS, I HAVE TO RESTART, WHICH IT DOES, BUT EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP COMPLETELY, IT ALWAYS SHUDDERS FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER FILLING. THERE AS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT ONLY FOR 5.7 LITER ENGINES. THE PROBLEM IS THE ROLLOVER VALVE. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE TANKS ON THE 5.7 LX CARS, BUT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM ON THE 3.5 AND 2.7 LITER CARS. THIS IS A PATTERRN FAILURE AND A SAFETY ITEM.

ENGINE
VEHICLE BEGAN TO JUST SHUT OFF WHEN NOT IN MOTION. TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO SHOP TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN EXPECTED TO FIX WHAT THE MECHANIC THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM, WE STILL WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FINALLY, WTE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE GAS TANK. AFTER WAITING MONTHS FOR CHRYSLER TO SEND THE DEALERSHIP A GAS TANK FOR OUR CAR, WE FINALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED. CHANGED OUT THE GAS TANK , DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR A FEW DAYS TO TEST IT OUT, CALLED US TO PICK UP THE CAR. ON THE WAY HOME, THE VEHICLE KEPT KILLING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY THE CAR IS STILL SHUMTTING OFF AND NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS 45000 MILES.
