My seat pops out sometime when driving. It happens anytime whether in motion or stationary hence the airbag light is on.
Took car in to dealership years ago to have head rest and airbags fixed. Received a notice by inputting my VIN that these fixes were incomplete . Also discovered that the 3.6 pentastar engine from the factory had substandard engine bearings which could result in the engine seizure and the remedy was for the factory to replace the engine. My 2012 chrysler 200 was manufactured during this time frame, yet was never notified by the manufacturer of this dangerous condition.
Air bag light is on , going threw brakes and tires every 6 months sense I bought it in 2016. Also no heat started at passanger side and worked its way towards drivers side. Also front windows do not go down started passanger side and 3 months later no driver side. Also was driving about 35 MPH made right hand turn car has stalled 5 times.

I bought my car brand new in 2012 from chryaler dodge and jeep in springfield pa. I babe around 96,000 miles on my car and this will now be the third alternator that has been put in my vehicle. From what I know, the alternator should last up between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. I believe there has to have been a defect with my specific car. Along with some of the other recall items I am now reading about with my model, having kids, I am increasingly concerned about my health and saftey driving this vehicle. I want to know what can be done about this on your end

This car has a air bag sign in dasboard. 7-8 months ago there was a air bag recall for this car but the agency said it was for different part recall which means this car still has an airbag sign in dashboard. I am not sure when did the sign appear first time. One day I started this car and their was an airbag sign and it never disappear after that. *dt

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).

I emailed them back in february and was told I needed to wait they would get back to me as soon as possible, I emailed again in april was told the same thing it is now august. My son drives this car, would they be so laid back if it was one of their family members ? I would appreciate it, if you could tell me how I can take this further. Thank you
