ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THE CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH THE HEMI ENGINE NEW IN 2007. THE FOLLOWING YEAR THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO REAR ITS UGLY HEAD. CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO WATER INTRUSION FROM THE SUN ROOF DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE. TRUCK WAS SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES BY CHRYSLER WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. TRUCK IS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL GO ON WHEN IT'S RAINING OR AFTER ITS RAINED WHICH CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, CITY STREETS AND ALSO WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CHRYSLER HAS MADE NO EFFECTIVE ENGINEERING REMEDY. THEY EVEN BLAME THE ENVIRONMENT I.E.TREES FOR CAUSING THE PROBLEM AS REFUSAL TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. IT IS CHRYSLER'S POSITION THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE ENGINEERING OF THE TRUCK. THEIR ARE MILLIONS OF CARS AND TRUCKS WITH SUNROOFS THAT ARE LEFT OUTSIDE THAT DON;T HAVE LEAKS OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF POOR DRAINAGE. WE HAVE 32 PAGES OF INVOICES FROM THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT, THE VAST MAJORITY ARE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. WHEN WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. AND FINALLY SPOKE TO SOMEONE TODAY 6/24/16, WE WERE TOLD ITS THE ENVIRONMENT WE CAN'T SPEAK TO ANYONE HIGHER THEN HER, CASE CLOSED, LIFE TIME WARRANTY VOIDED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

CHRYSLER 2007 ASPEN WITH HEMI ENGINE. WATER INTRUSION CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO GET WET. DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE, WATER DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY AND IS SOAKING THE SIDE AIRBAG PANEL AND ALSO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL IN THE TRUCK CAUSING THE CONTROL WARNING PANEL TO COMPLETELY LIGHT UP. THIS IS CAUSING THE SIDE AIRBAGS TO BE COMPROMISED AND POSSIBLY THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO CHRYSLER'S ATTENTION NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY DID NOT FIND A CORRECTIVE SOLUTION.

WHEN USING THE LEFT BLINKER THE RIGHT BLINKER WILL INTERMITTENTLY START BLINKING. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED.

THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. CHRYSLER DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ANYTHING INVOLVING THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL - JUST RECEIVED RECALL - 3-2016. WAS IN ACCIDENT 02-2015 INVOLVING HEAD-ON COLLISION - AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY - VEHICLE WAS IMPOUNDED - PD AS WELL AS IMPOUND LOT PERSONNEL AND AUTOBODY SHOP ADJACENT ALL QUESTIONED WHY AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO MY BEING ABLE TO REMOVE IT FROM POUND FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. WAS ADVISED TO HAVE DEALER CHECK AIRBAGS AND WHY NO DEPLOY. THIS WAS DONE AND DEALER ADVISED ONLY SENSORS ARE WORKING. NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE. THEN RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE R25 / NHTSA 15V-313 AND STARTED DO SOME RESEARCH. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MONTHS AGO ON THIS RECALL AND DOES THIS DEFECT HAVE ANY EFFECT OF BAGS NOT DEPLOYING WHEN THEY SHOULD? AT TIME OF COLLISION I WAS TRAVELING ON CITY STREET AND WAS REAR-ENDED, SIDE-SWIPED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH EVENTUAL HEAD-ON COLLISION - WINTER STORM CONDITIONS / THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK ME AFTER FIRST IMPACT SLID UPHILL COMING DOWN AND HITTING SIDE OF CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN A BOUNCE OFF MANNER BEFORE HEAD-ON COLLISION (HEAD-ON HAPPENED -BEFORE I EVEN REALIZED I HAD BEEN STRUCK IN REAR OR SIDE)- STATE FARM CLAIM 065V22149 - NO ONE LISTENED TO MY CONCERNS AND THOSE EXPRESSED BY PD OFFICERS AND LOT EMPLOYEES (WHO ARE DAILY EXPOSED TO THIS) ABOUT WHY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO VERY DELINQUENT IN NOTIFICATION OF RECALL.

TWO WEEKS AGO, WE HAD THE AIR BAG REPAIRED AT THE DEALER DUE TO A RECALL. TODAY, I TRIED TO TURN ON MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON AND ALL INSIDE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. I TOWED IT TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ELECTRIC MODULES COULD BE THE PROBLEM, THEY SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE FRONT CONTROL PANEL AND CHARGE ME $1,600. IF PROBLEM PERSIST, THEY MIGHT NEED TO CHECK OTHER MODULES, I.E. $4,000-6,000 CHARGE. BEFORE CHANGING THE AIR BAG RECALL, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP PLEASE.
