Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My airbag light came on and the dealer wants $550 to fix it. I think it is a safety issue and should not be so expensive to fix. I am now driving with no airbag due to a bad clockspring in the steering wheel. On my 1996 it was a recall and the dealer had to fix it for free, why don't they do it on this newer model. The cost is way too high for the part and amount of time it would take them to replace it.”
NHTSA complaint #10514731, filed 2013-06, 96,700 miles“While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. With this latest incident, the dealership told me it would cost $800 for a new power control module. I researched online only to learn there are thousands of people with identical complaints about their Chrysler vehicles, while NHTSA refuses to order a recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10695254, filed 2015-03, 67,000 miles“I own a 2008 Chrysler sebring touring convertible and 1 week after buying this vehicle in april 2009, the fabric on the driver side seat busted open. The seats have a zipper up the back of them that are designed to bust open when the airbags deploy. The dealer fixed this at this time for no cost. Now, the passenger seat has done the same thing. My air bag default light continues to state a malfunction and it was at this time that I noticed the fabric has busted open on the passenger seat indicating another malfunction with the air bag within that seat. …”
NHTSA complaint #10351594, filed 2010-08, 18,000 miles“Takata recall. According to the air bag recall info. This auto is among the listed but the dealership and you people won't do anything. Our air bag red light on the dash has been on now 2yrs. The seat belt red light and warning noise goes on frequently even tho it is secure. Quite annoying.”
NHTSA complaint #10884176, filed 2016-07, 70,000 miles“While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. This seems to happen most frequently while driving on the interstate while raining with the windshield wipers on high. On one occasion while travelling through the mountains of western pennsylvania on the turnpike at night in the rain the entire car went dark for about 10 seconds. It appeared that the system rebooted. Original owner.”
