The air bag light was intermitent for the last couple of months but 2 weeks ago it came on and stayed on. I saw on tv that this was a known problem with the clock spring int the 1996 voyagers and could be harmful if the bag accidently went off or worse didn't go off in a crash. Please push a recall! The wiper blades have come on without activation since new. The dealer replaced the switch once but said they could not duplicate whenever I took it back under warranty. Now they come on frequently and it becomes distracting to the point that it could cause an accident. The fuel gauge indicates 3/4 full when the tank is full and the low fuel lite comes on when there is still 5-6 gallons in the tank. This was reported under warranty but I was told there was nothing wrong. Now it's in the tech bulletins and I have to pay to have it fixed. The door locks have been replaced on 3 of the 4 doors by chrysler. The drivers door twice, and sliding door twice. Once we couldn't get out the sliding door. The ignition module went bad this labor day weekend. I parked and the car wouldn't start so I had it towed to hoffman chrysler in hagerstown, md. They troubleshot it to the module no having a ground. The warning code indication the auto shutdown circuitry was activated. What if this happened on the interstate at 65 MPH?

Mis-lead, deceived and possibly lied to in a used vehicle purchase involving a trade. The vehicle door locks do not work and I injured myself while trying to lock them. I consider the locks to be a safety issue as well as an insurance issue. I now just want to unwind the deal and desperately need help in doing this. I notified the dealer in less than 18 hours of purchase of the situation. I no longer trust them or the vehicle. I need to act quickly in order to get my trade back (which I trust). I have learned a lot but do not feel that I should continue to suffer if it is possible to unwind this. I was also mislead on the whereabouts of my trade in attempting to return their vehicle today - they said at first it had already been sold, then changed the story. That drive this morning was 1.5 hours from my house yet 1.5 from their location. I spent several hours in an unfamiliar city (in the rain) trying to resolve this before returning home. As they said they no longer had my vehicle I had no other choice. In order to switch vehicles I (or someone) will need to drive 3 hours one way. I work full time, attend college at night twice a week and am raising a daughter alone. Even hearing all this in my phone call to them 1/2 way there this morning, the person I talked to insisted that I was being unreasonable. I understand it is a "buyer beware" world, but after having been deceived do I have recourse? Anyway, I could go on and on... Please help!! Thank you.
