AIR BAGS
8-21-2017 HAD A RECALL PREFORMED FOR A AIRBAG ISSUE. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE THERE WAS STILL A CODE IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER ACTIVE HEADREST CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN. I HAD ALREADY INVESTIGATED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ( MARCH 2017) AND FOUND MANY SITES STATING A BROKEN WIRE IN DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME I FINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WIRE ISSUE AND FOUND THE BLACK WIRE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES BEFORE A YELLOW CONNECTOR WHERE A PLASTIC STRETCHER WAS APPLIED BROKEN INSIDE THE FIBER COVERING OF THE 2 WIRES. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR 30 YEARS SO I STRIPPED THE WIRES AND REATTACHED. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON SO I AM THINKING WHEN IT BROKE OR WHAT EVER IT CAUSED A SYSTEM ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I HAVE OWNED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT COULD COST AROUND 400 TO FIX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAVE BEEN HAVING MANY ISSUES WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN AND SOMETIMES DO NOT WORK FOR DAYS. WITH NO WARNING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND STUTTER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ROTATE WIPER SWITCH THEY MAY MOVE A LITTLE AND IF YOU TURN THEM OFF THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STUTTER ACROSS WINDSHIELD. SOMETIMES THEY WORK NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. CHRYSLER APPARENTLY REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY TIPM. TODAY I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING....NO WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED WHILE TURNING. TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED A FEW TIMES AND THEN EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING EXCEPT WIPERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED!!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO BACK UP. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS RANDOM BUT ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. LIGHTS DIM OFF AND ON. TACHOMETER HAS CLIMBED TO 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ONLY DOING 40 MILES PER HOUR. HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTEN AND DIM. SAFETY GAUGES FLASH OFF AND ON. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED AT ENTERPRISE IN 2014. FOR SOME REASON I AM NOT RECEIVING ANY RECALL NOTICES. COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THANK YOU

RECALL S61 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. I WAS NOTIFIED OCTOBER OF 2016 OF THIS RECALL, STATING THE FIX WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN JANUARY. A LOCAL AUTOSHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE FIX BECAME AVAILABLE IN JUNE, DIDNT OFFER TO HELP GET ME INTO A SAFER VEHICLE. THEY JUST SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THE TIME. COME JUNE, THE FIX WAS PUSHED TILL AUGUST. I'M IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP NOW, AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT PARTS ARE ON HOLD, AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO RELEASE THE PARTS. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND CHRYSLER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS WILL STOP IN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD, OR BE JERKY WHEN MOVING. IF STOPPED, MOVING WIPER CONTROL TO NEXT POSITION, OR TURNING WIPERS BACK OFF, THEN ON, WILL MAKE WIPERS MOVE A BIT MORE. IN A RAIN STORM, HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MOVE WIPER SWITCH TO MAKE WIPERS MOVE. VISIBILITY IS A DISASTER. MAKES DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM VERY DANGEROUS.
