| Description of the problem | On may 9, 2014 my husband & i were driving on the freeway when all of the sudden the seat belt & airbag lights started alarming. I immediately referenced our vehicle guide and followed the instructions, contacting the dealership right away. My car was evaluated 3 days later and i was informed that my entire airbag module was non-functional and needed to be replaced. It has now been a month that i have been driving without functional airbags because the part is apparently on back order at chrysler. Not to mention the fact that i was told that there is no way to disable the alarms while awaiting the fix, so i have to drive with the distraction of constant "dinging" everywhere i go. This is a serious safety concern! In general, this vehicle has been a pain since i purchased it!! Three recalls in one year, a tire that needed to be replaced just after purchase (pretty sure it had a hole when we drove it off the lot), and now this. I definitely would not purchase this vehicle again. |
