AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THIS WEEKEND WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON.. ON MARCH 21, 2018 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR ME AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. LATER THAT DAY THE SERVICE MAN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BOTH HAD A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $1080.00 EACH WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THAT HAS ALREADY COSTED ME $2500.00 TO REPAIR. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER SAFETY PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF SERVICE CALLS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED TWO OTHER DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THIS MUST BE AN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALER CALLED OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. AND IT WAS NOT COVERED.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR STATES THAT THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT THE WARNING KEEPS COMING BACK. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BEFORE AND AND THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSITIONING OF THE GEARS. IT JUMPS ALOT AND RUNS ROUGH. MY CAR ALSO HAS BEEN STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. JUST RECENTLY THE CAR ISN'T EVEN STARTING. IT TAKES AWHILE FOR IT TO START UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TOO AND I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT STATES THAT I NEED TO SERVICE MY TRANSMISSION.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, THEN SUDDENLY SLAMS INTO GEAR AND LUNGES ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS FRIGHTENING WHEN IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND BEGINNING TO MOVE, THE CAR SUDDENLY JOLTS TO A STOP AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DIGGING IN, AND WILL NOT MOVE. IT THEN INDICATES THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ENGAGED WHEN I NEVER TOUCHED THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS ALSO FRIGHTENING WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN THE BRAKE SUDDENLY ENGAGES, ALL ON IT'S OWN ACCORD, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO RELEASE.

MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASED (BRAND NEW) TENDS TO WEAR THE BACK TIRES OUT AND SWERVES WHEN IT HITS A BUMP, RAIN, OR SNOW. IT GETS WORSE WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF WEIGHT IN THE BACK. SUCH AS, TWO PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND FOR THIS REASON I TEND TO BE ALONE IN THE CAR BECAUSE IT COULD BECOME DANGEROUS TO TAKE PASSENGERS.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 IN 2013. AFTER DRIVING MY 200 FOR A COUPLE YEARS,I NOTICE IN THE WINTERTIME ,THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS VERY SLOW TO DEFROST. FAST FORWARD TO 2017 I NOTICE THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING COLD AIR,THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY WARM.AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CHRYSLER HAS PROBLEMS WITH 2012 MODEL HEATER CORES. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALLED THIS MODEL YEAR DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HEAT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD.

I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR AROUND JULY OF LAST YEAR AND TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT HAS TURNED OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY AND IS NOT TURNING OFF AND THE SOUND KEEPS GOING OFF EVERY COUPLE MINUTES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON THURSDAY 03/8/2018 AND SATURDAY 03/10/2018 WE STARTED OUR VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TRAVELED LESS THAN 1/4 OF A MILE DOWN OUR STREET WHEN A WARNING ALARM SOUNDED AND THE DASH BOARD READ SOMETHING LIKE, "PULL OVER AND PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO START." WHEN WE TRIED TO START (KEY-LESS CAR) IT WOULD NOT START RIGHT WAY AND MADE AN ALMOST GRINDING SOUND. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, EVENTUALLY IT STARTED. I DO SEE 2 RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH DESCRIBE THE VEHICLE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING BUT WHEN I PLACE MY VIN IN THE SEARCH IT DOES NOT IDENTIFY ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE RECALL NUMBERS I BELIEVE MAY RELEVANT TO OUR VEHICLE IS CHRYSLER'S R24 AND S55.
