NHTSA complaint #11389674, filed 2021-01, 150,000 miles“Takata recall, FCA is stalling on repairs for passenger airbag. After receiving a recall notice in may 2016, I contacted FCA several times to make an appointment to have my airbag repaired, each time I am told parts not available. On my last call oct.17, 2016 I was told no repairs until sometime in 2017. This is not acceptable.”

NHTSA complaint #10762287, filed 2015-09, 47,000 miles“Nhtsa through mail advised us to take car to a Chrysler dealership and have them change airbags. We did. June 14,2018. On november 3,2018 when pulling into a parking spot the airbag on the steering wheel blew up in my face injuring me and burned me and cut me. Paramedics came and I went to emergency room. Not life threatening but 2 weeks in pain and not able to work and ringing in my ears for a week. My car insurance can't do anything because there was no collusion, it went off on its own, and it's supposed to be replaced as dealership said. …”
