| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The airbag light began going on intermittently, at mile 142, on day 3, of owning my brand new vehicle. I took it back to the dealership, and they reset the computer. The same night, the problem recurred. The dealer set up another appointment for me, on day 8 of ownership. That night, they called to advise me that the tipm was faulty, and that the part is on backorder. They have since put me in a rental car, and i don't know when the part will be in. I have now learned that there is a class action against chrysler regarding this exact part. It causes many dangerous safety issues, not limited to airbag issues. I am extremely concerned for my family's safety, once i get my new car back. I am unconvinced that the new tipm will not continue to be a danger to us. |
