On saturday, january 23, 2016 we were leaving our home at approximately 6 pm. As we pulled out of the driveway, the airbag light on the dash came on. On our way home later that night and while traveling at between 55 and 65 MPH while getting on to I-43 near green bay, wi. Both driver side and passenger side curtain airbags suddenly deployed despite there being no impact of any kind. As designed, the vehicle then shutdown completely, making steering extremely difficult. With considerable difficulty, I was able to maneuver to the side of the rode and come to a stop. Further inspection revealed no exterior damage to the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the closest chrysler dealer, who then read the codes with their computer. The codes indicated that the vehicle had sensed a "rollover". Obviously, no "rollover" had occurred. Chrysler would not repair or replace the airbags or airbag module because they said the vehicle was out of warranty. Chrysler also specifically stated that they were not responsible for repairs or replacement of the airbags because no recall had been issued for the specific airbags that had gone off or for the module. Insurance would not cover cost of airbag replacement or airbag module replacement as it was deemed an "electronic malfunction".

Airbag light continually appeared and beeped. Took the aspen to the dealer, oliver joseph twice. The first time was 1/22/15. The service center told myself and my wife they could not understand what the problem was, and could not repair. I then called chrysler corp customer service on 2/03/15, and they took note of the situation. I never heard back from chrysler and called back on 3/26/15 and they notified me of the airbag recall, and since my airbag light is continually on and beeping, they will make sure I have priority when parts are available. I am writing this complaint on 7/31/15 and have not heard back from anyone. I am very concerned for my wife's safety with the recall and the fact this light is emitted from unknown origin. Chrysler has record of all my calls.
