AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A LETTER OF RECALL FOR A PART IN THE AIR BAG. THE RECALL LETTER SAID THAT THE BAG COULD EXPLODE OR HAVE METAL FRAGMENTS FLY OUT IF MOISTURE GETS IN THE AIRBAG. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED ABOUT MY RECALL AND THE RECALL CENTER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART BY OCTOBER TO FIX MY AIRBAG. I CALLED OCTOBER 12 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE PART. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ALL AROUND IF IT CAN EXPLODE AT ANY TIME AND I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
CAR TURNED OFF/SHUT DOWN BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, FOR THE 7TH TIME. SPEED RELATIVELY SLOW AROUND 30 MPH, AND NOT TURNING SHARPLY. DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL AREA. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. VERY DIFFICULT TO: TURN, STOP, AND RESTART. VEHICLE DID NOT STORE ANY CODES. THIS IS THE 1ST FAILURE ON THE NEWLY REPLACED PCM BUT 7TH TOTAL SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW.. DODGE/CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS "NOT SERIOUS" BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SAVED IN THE CAR AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THEY SAY IF IT WAS SERIOUS, THERE WOULD BE A CODE. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LOOK/ INVESTIGATE FURTHER BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES AND IT DIDN'T DIE ON THEIR TEST DRIVE WHILE HOOKED TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. SERVICE MANAGER GENE AT WALDORF DODGE SAID THE SRT HELP CENTER/CASE MANAGER RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID & PERFORM TUNE UP; BOTH PERFORMED 15K MILES AGO. (RIDICULOUS. THIS IS HOW WOMEN GET TREATED AT WALDORF DODGE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THE SRT CHALLENGER HAS A TIMING BELT IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE-NOT). THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
CAR SHUT DOWN/POWERED OFF/TURNED OFF ON IT'S OWN, WHILE DRIVING. RAPID AUTOMATIC DOWN SHIFT OF GEARS BRAKING FROM ABOUT 65 TO TURN/WHILE TURNING LEFT ONTO SIDE STREET ON ROAD. CAR DIED AFTER STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TURNING TO LEFT AND CAR WAS TURNING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NEARLY SLAMMED INTO EMBANKMENT AND BLOCKED INTERSECTION AREA. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL/HARD TO SAFE VEHICLE: HARD TO TURN, STOP, AND RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON/NO ODB CODES STORED. THIS WAS SPECIFICALLY SCARY AS PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH HERE FAST AND VISIBILITY IS VERY SHORT. AFTER THIS EVENT AND THE EVENT IN JULY, I BECAME AFRAID I COULD DIE IN THIS CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID A FEW ERROR CODES WERE SAVED IN OUTER CAR SYSTEMS THAT SHOWED COMMUNICATION WITH PCM HAD BEEN LOST. THEY WERE REPLACING THE PCM. HOWEVER, REPLACING THE PCM DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS DIED 3 TIMES SINCE I STARTED DRIVING IT IN THE SPRING THIS YEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. PLEASE HELP.
