AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON AND OFF EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING WAS BLOCKING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT WHICH HAD BEEN REMOVED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT THIS LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR IF I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS OR NOT. THE SUNROOF HAS ALSO MALFUNCTION TO WHERE IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND CLOSE BY PRESSING THE BUTTON I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE FIXED 3 TIMES ALREADY. I FEEL LIKE I AM STUCK IN A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAKATA RECALL UNKNOWN MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I LEFT IT THERE TO BE PICKED UP BY MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING. I FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT MY CAR HAD BEEN CRASHED AND I WENT TO THE TOW YARD WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO RETRIEVE MY PERSONAL ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CAR HAS BEEN CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS BY GEICO CAR INSURANCE. GEICO CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. I STILL HAVE MY TITLE, IT IS A REBUILT ONE. GEICO HAS BEEN TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY VEHICLE. THE ACTUAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON APRIL 25TH, 2017. THE POLICE REPORT IS INACCURATE. TODAY IS AUGUST 30TH, 2017 AND I'M STILL WAITING ON A CHECK. THE TOW YARD HAS APPARENTLY BECOME THE LIENHOLDER SO I'VE BEEN TOLD AND GEICO HAS TO PAY THEM OFF BEFORE THEY CAN PAY ME? I DON'T KNOW IT'S CRAZY. THERE WOULD BE NO LIEN IF GEICO HAD HANDLED THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO PURCHASE A CHEAP CAR IN THE MEANTIME WHILE I WAIT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED EMAILS FROM CARFAX SAYING THAT MY CAR MAY BE AT RISK OF BEING RECALLED SO I PUT IN MY VIN NUMBER ([XXX]) AND IT SAYS THAT MY CHRYSLER 200 2012 IS A S61. HOWEVER, I WAS AWARE THE PASSENGER SEATBELTS WERE LOCKED BUT I WAS STILL ABLE TO WRAP THE DRIVER'S BELT AROUND ME. FURTHERMORE, I'VE HAD NUMEROUS HEADLIGHT ISSUES IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND THE AC EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS ALSO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THAT COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE AS FAR AS REIMBURSEMENT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I HAVE NO POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE TITLE IS STILL IN MY NAME AND THE POSSESSION ISSUE IS GEICO'S FAULT. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF JUSTICE IN THIS SITUATION IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME IN THE CRASH. I AM [XXX] AND IT SAYS UNDER FEDERAL LAW THAT MY VEHICLE CAN BE REPLACED. #16V-668 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE CAR ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE "VEHICLE AT TOO HIGH SPEED" FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD AS IT ASKED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME! AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY DEADLY, WOULD HAVE OCCURRED! I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD, AND THIS CAR IS PUTTING US BOTH IN DANGER. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A DEATH MACHINE, I PAID FOR A WORKING VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. THIS HITS ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF NEEDING TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE, AS I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 20 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE AFFECTED/INJURED/KILLED FOR THIS TO GET FIXED?

MOSTLY HWY DRIVING~ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MOST TIMES THE SCREEN WILL RESET, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WITH IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. STORED CODES HAVE BEEN P1DA9, P073E. I'VE TAKEN THE CARE TO THE DEALER, SOFTWARE RESET-ONLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. SEARCHED FOR RECALL BY VEHICLE AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 7, BUT WHEN SEARCHING BY VIN # STATES NONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME BUT I WILL ENTER MOST RECENT DATE WITH COMPLAINT

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IVE BEEN HAVNG PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED. THE CAR SLIPS GEARS AND TAKES OFF AND STAGGER WHILE ON HIGHWAY. IVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BY CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T MATCH WITH SOFTWARE AND CHRYSLER IS LOOKING TO FIX ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. THECAR FEELS REALLY UNSAFE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WAY ABOVE PRICE THAT WAS OFFERED TO OTHERS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE CONTRACT IS NO LONGER VALID AS THE CAR DEALERSHIP REQUESTED A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO PAY OFF MY TRADE IN. I LATER FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT WAS NEARLY $300 LESS THAN THE REQUESTED AMOUNT. I WAS TOLD THAT ANY EXCESS FUND WILL BE RELEASED TO ME. ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE REFUND.
