| Description of the problem | At approximate june 2014 i received a recall notice for the ignition switch. Chrysler said approx. Delivery of september 2014. I have not heard or received anything since then. My concern other than the unsafe ignition switch situation is that every time i use my jeep, my airbag warning light flashes on and off continuously. As time goes on, the worse it gets. My dealer says he has checked others vehicles with the same problem; his best guess is it's related to the ignition switch. He also said the airbag should be a concern because it may activate at any time... Even without an accident! Chrysler told me not to be concerned... How can i not be concerned? What else can i do? |
