I was planning to go to the dealership and have the two airbag recalls fixed. Before I had the chance to do that ,february 22 ,2020, my vehicle was involved in a minor accident that is still under dispute ,the driver side and passenger air bags both deployed and exploded open.

I bought this car used 2017 and didn't have many issues, just normal wear and tear, but then I started having issues when trying to unlock my door with my key fob to a point I had to keep my car unlocked because I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in without assistance. Then, the same key fob wouldn't start my car! I'd just pull up to a store, hop out then come back and 20mins later I'm still trying to turn the car on and the only thing that help was if I jiggled it a little and slightly push it in, but what scared me was the fact that I was driving one day and my car just stopped for no reason almost causing a multicar accident. I decided to replace the key and had a new one reprogrammed which worked for a while. I am a delivery person and about 6months after the new key I started having the same issue, but this time I had to quit working and have my car towed because it wouldn't start but this time there was a red light saying "anti theft"!

Car has always had chrysler recall p57. Ignition intermittently would stick on start causing the engine to continuously crank but not start. Car would intermittently turn off while driving causing loss of power steering and brakes. Would resume normally when restarted.

My wife's was built on july 3, 2008. Researching online it is not isolated to our car. I feel this recall needs to be expanded to other 2008 chargers with the same symptoms.
