| Description of the problem | Takata recall. The airbag warning light indicated a fault with a chime , june 2019. The driver airbag clockspring recall was performed in october 2016 shortly after purchase. The dealership says there was a two year warranty, which has expired. The dealership tells me the repair cost is approximately $1200. 00. My complaint is the replacement parts used in the recall are giving warning indicators like the original airbag parts. I use the jeep for mail delivery on dirt roads that are extremely dusty most of the year. This is the main reason for the original airbag recall. "the airbag clockspring may ingest dust if the vehicle is subjected to dusty environments, compromise airbag circuits, cause illumination of the airbag warning light". I feel the original problem still exists and the recall replacement parts have failed. I think this is a recall concern. I have contacted fiat chrysler automobile group recall assistance center , they did not help. I i am paying for the repair. But i feel like the safely problem still exists, and when dust covers this part it will malfunction. |
