Takata inflator, engine failure, fuel tank replaced vehicle wass shutting off while driving before fuel tank was replaced and after fuel tank was replaced.. under a extended life time warranty. Took to another dealership in palestine Texas told them vehicle was shutting off while driving and fuel tank was replaced by another dealership in tyler Texas. They could not figure out what was wrong, they said it was ok to drive until they receive a response from Chrysler (a star case)or something like that.they said there was no response from Chrysler until one day II went to start the car and it didn't start. I called dealership in palestine dealership, had it towed to them. 16 miles later and 15 days later, I was told I needed complete motor. Metal pieces in intake and 2valve seats had dropped.later on 11/20/2015 had the head took off to confirm damages to the head and valves.also on 12/19/2014 when vehicle towed in, they started the vehicle and was accelerating the car I was right there in the waiting room, thinking it's fixed, then come tell me I need a motor.

My airbag light comes on intermittently and I am not sure if it is safe to drive. I realize there is a recall already in place to fix, but I am being informed by my dealership and by my Chrysler customer service rep rep that my airbag can not be repaired until December 2016 that is over a year from now and 19 months from the original recall of May 29, 2015 airbag recall number 15V-313 that is ridiculous. I understand this is a big recall, but my issue is that dealerships are only fixing one car a week per (Chrysler) regardless of how many parts are sent to dealers. If this truly a "safety recall" how is that allowed to happen? I have all dates and times of who I have spoken to at Chrysler and the dealership.

I received a notice from NHTSA that the driver airbag inflator had been recalled. I called the dealer where I purchased the car at riverside moss bros. They put me on some list claiming they have no parts and that as the parts come in they work off their list and I will get a call. I have called them back weekly since with no help. They claim they only get two parts for the recall repair each week. So if I'm lucky they might fix it in the next two or three years. I called an online parts vendor and they said I could get the parts by ups in a week or less. So the dealer is playing games with people. I went online and wrote the owner Mr. Moss who puts on a show of how important his customers are but he or a minion never replied by phone, letter or email. These guys don't get it. Next car will be from another dealer. Just need help getting the recall fixed.
