PREGNANT MY CAR WENT OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE MIDDLE MEDIAN DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE BECAUSE THE 4WD DID NOT WORK.I CHANGED FROM RIGHT LANE TO LEFT LANE AT A SPEED OF 30-35MPH TO ALLOW SPACE FOR ONCOMING MERGING TRAFFIC.WHEN CHANGING LANES I KEPT GOING LEFT AND COULD NOT STAY ON THE TRAVELED PORTION.I HAD TO DRIVE IN REVERSE TO GET OUT OVER THE PLOW BANK AND INTO THE TRAVEL WAY.ONCE HOME I COULD NOT MAKE IT UP MY 450FT LONG DRIVEWAY AND THE REAR END KEPT SLIDING OUT- THE 4WD DID NOT WORK. 5MO PREGNANT I COULD NOT SHOVEL MYSELF OUT AND HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING MORNING FOR ASSISTANCE,AS A RESULT THE PLOW TRUCK COULD NOT CLEAN THE DRIVEWAY.WENT TO THE SVC DEPT OF MY DEALERSHIP.THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS AS SOFTWARE UPDATE CORRECTING AN ISSUE WITH THE N23 RECALL.I WAS ABOUT THE 6-7 CAR WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. AT FIRST THERE WAS NO SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT IT APPEARS A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS INITIATED IN THE FALL OF 2014 BUT NO COMMUNICATION WAS MADE TO THOSE WHO HAD THE N23 RECALL.I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A "CONSUMER SAFETY NOTIFICATION" CHRYSLER PUBLISHED ON MAY 2015.I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER THIS EVENING IT IS NOT A "RECALL" BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I FILED A COMPLAINT. WHEN ASKED HOW THE COMPLAINT PROCESS WORKS HE SAID IT WILL BE REVIEWED INTERNALLY.I ASKED IF SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK OR IF IT IS JUST PUT IN A RECORD SOMEWHERE. I WAS INFORMED IT IS MAINTAINED INTERNALLY, NO ONE WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK, BUT IT WOULD BE REVIEWED.THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT, I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE, OR WORSE CASE SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED.THE CAR DID NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED IN CHALLENGING CONDITIONS. IT APPEARS THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN ABOUT AND HENCE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. IT IS DISAPPOINTING THE PUBLIC WAS NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL MAY 2015, AND THAT IT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS AS SAFETY CONCERN.
WHILE BACKING UP VERY SLOWLY OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED FROM REVERSE INTO FORWARD. THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED ITSELF AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE WALL OF MY GARAGE, CLIMBED OVER THE CEMENT FOUNDATION, AND THEN THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. MY FOOT WAS OFF OF THE PEDALS AS I WAS THROWN AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. THE ONLY REASON THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED AS IT DROVE ITSELF OVER THE CEMENT FOUNDATION OF THE GARAGE. THE CAR WAS DECLARED TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
AFTER A MINOR ACCIDENT, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRE OF THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THE REAR BUMPER REPLACEMENT. I WAS IN THE WORKSHOP WHILE THE TECHNICIANS WERE REMOVING THE DAMAGED BUMPER OF MY CAR. WHEN THEY HAVE REMOVED THE BUMPER COMPLETELY, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECTANGULAR FLEXIBLE PATCH ATTACHED ON THE SIDE SURFACE OF MY VEHICLE'S BODY BY SOME KIND OF ADHESIVE. THE SIZE OF THE PATCH WAS APPROXIMATELY 150 MM X 300 MM X 2 MM (INCLUDING THE ADHESIVE LAYER) AND IT'S LOCATION WAS ON THE REAR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BODY. THIS PATCH WAS OUT OF SIGHT WHEN THE BUMPER WAS INSTALLED. THE PATCH WAS BEING USED TO CLOSE A RECTANGULAR HOLE WHICH WAS EXTENDING IN TO THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS HOLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20 CM ABOVE THE EXIT OF THE EXHAUST TAILPIPE. BECAUSE OF IT'S LOCATION, IT IS VERY LIKELY FOR THE HOLE TO BE EXPOSED TO EXHAUST EMISSIONS DIRECTLY. THE PATCH CLOSING THE HOLE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE SO STRONG. THIS SELF ADHESIVE PATCH MUST BE UNDER THE ACTION OF VIBRATIONS AND THE DIVERSITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ALL THE TIME. SO, THIS SITUATION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE SERIOUS. AND FATAL RISKS FOR THE PASSENGERS AS A RESULT OF THE EXHAUST GASES ENTRY IN TO THE CABIN INCASE THE PATCH IS TORN OR DAMAGED SOMEHOW. I HAVE INFORMED THE SERVICE AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE SITUATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE TWO SYMMETRICALLY LOCATED HOLES WHICH WERE MACHINED FOR THE CABIN AIR EXTRACTORS BUT THEIR DESIGNERS PREFERRED TO USE ONLY ONE EXTRACTOR FOR EACH VEHICLE. THE UNUSED HOLE WAS CLOSED BY A SELF ADHESIVE PATCH. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SERIOUS DEFECT MUST BE INVESTIGATED FOR POSSIBLE MODES OF FAILURE AND CONSEQUENCES. *TR
VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL AND ACCELERATED STRIKING THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE. PARKING BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND GARAGE. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A PENDING JEEP RECALL. NHTSA'S # 13V175000. *TR
The Air Bag warning light came on after we got an oil change for our car.
The air bag light comes on every now and then. It happened in my previous jeep and is happening in my dad's Chrysler Sebring car as well. I seen this problem with the airbag automatic deactivation when the warning light comes on in different vehicles but all from Chrysler motors.

The steering column control module (SCCM) may have been built with an inadequate welded connection between the internal flexible cable (FFC) and the busbar. The faulty connection may not allow the signal from the occupant safety control (ORC) module to reach the driver's airbag module, preventing it from deploying. An airbag that fails to deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury to the driver in the event of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) cooler can be susceptible to thermal fatigue. The exhaust gases can interact with air and other hydrocarbons in the system, which can cause combustion in the inlet manifold. This can lead the vehicle to catch fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted rear coil spring may detach from the vehicle, which could affect vehicle handling and create a hazard for following traffic. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted retaining ring in the Power Transfer Unit may cause an unexpected loss of traction and/or failure of the parking function, increasing the risk of an accident and injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The high-voltage battery pack can contain cells having separator damage. A damaged separator can lead to a very rapid chemical chain reaction in the battery. This can cause the battery to overheat, which can start a fire in the vehicle. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The separator of the high voltage battery may be damaged. This may lead to cell failure and increase the risk of fire.
