He told me he would fix all the recalls. We assumed they were done. It wasn't until my sons accident that we learned they didnt fix the airbags. On 12.28.2015 my son was in a accident because of ice on highway and the airbags did not deploy. This is unacceptable . He could of been badly injured or even killed.

Also I was told by the state trooper that there is a video of the accident because it happened right in front of their toll booth with cameras. The oklahoma turnpike authorities should have the video. Here is a picture that the auto body took showing that the airbags didn't not deploy.

No one was able to inform me what caused it. I have never had any trouble prior to, no accidents and I am consistent with service. It is clear this is a manufacturing problem and a recall is in order. I do understand this is not the first or only complaint for the very same issue. This could result in death. Also their seems to be a problem with my airbag system and tire light as they have been triggered on their own and will not go off.

I should not have to lose thousands of dollars to trade or sell my car back to a dealer to get out of this nightmare. I want my car recalled back for a full refund because of the reoccurring problems I keep having. I have sent a lemon law letter to chrysler on september 14, 2014 and put them on notice about all the problems with this car and demanded a buy back which in turn they gave me an extended warranty which has covered all the repair expenses. I also just settled a law suit with chrysler through the law offices of krohn and moss in chicago the lawyer did not pursue my case in court due to being out of state. So therefore, I only won $5,000.00 to cover the attorney fee of $3,500.00 leaving me $1,500.00. My total purchase price was $21,671.00 and that is what I am fighting for!

The service airbag light in my vehicle goes on and off several times throughout each month. I have brought it into the dealer & they tried telling me it was because I probably have my purse on the passenger seat. I do not keep my purse on the passenger seat. Service airbag light comes on no matter if there is a passenger or not. Dealer could not find a fix for problem. Who knows if my airbags will even work if I happen to get into a crash.
I have had this vehicle about seven months and already have had to have the vehicle in twice for the service airbag system light on. The first time, they didn't really find anything wrong as the light was off by the time I got to the dealer. They advised me that they updated some computer system at that point. I had it in again in january for the same issue, and they couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was, but they went ahead and replaced the dash cluster thinking it would fix the issue. Not two weeks later, the light is back on. I have been advised that when the service airbag light is lit, the airbags will not deploy, therefore it is driving an unsafe vehicle.
