| 2005 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 THERE HAS BEEN A RECURRING AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE. I HAD THE SEAT SENSOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AND VOICED MY CONCERN OVER THIS ISSUE. I STATED THAT I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER BASICALLY TOLD US THAT THE SENSOR HAD BEEN REPLACED SO THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I TOLD THEM THAT IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT! *NM |
| 2008 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I WAS GOING DOWN A SIDE STREET BY MY HOUSE AND I WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD AND SURPRISINGLY MY WINDSHIELDS WENT ON! I PULLED OVER WITH MY HUSBAND AND WE COULDN'T SHUT THEM OFF! HE LOOKED IT UP IN THE DRIVERS MANUAL TO NO AVAIL SO WE DROVE IT OVER TO OUR LOCAL GARAGE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH THE WIPERS GOING. THE GUYS SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO IS GO ON THE TOP ON THE BATTERY AND PULL THE FUSE..SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO DO TO USE THEM. ONCE YOU PUT THE FUSE IN, THEY DO NOT STOP. I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC, RIP OFF THERE, CHARGED WAY TO MUCH,, THEY SAID THE WIPER MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED..IT WAS AND NOTHING GOT FIXED..SO I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I KNEW I'D BE PAYING $$$ BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE...PAID FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC, THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING THAT STARTED WITH A TI? WISH I HAD THE PAPER WITH ME...SO THEY CHARGED $547 TO DO 3 HOURS OR WORK AND ONLY HALF FIXED IT..BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS NOW 10/2013! STILL NOT FIXED...CHRYSLER NOW SAID THEY'D HAVE TO PULL OUT THE DASHBOARD AND IT MAY COST ANOTHER $400 AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE?! A $20 RELAY SWITCH I BET! BOY I GOT BURNED ON THIS LEMON..OH THERE'S MORE LET ME MAKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT! *TR |
