REFERENCE FCA SAFETY RECALL W09. I have been attempting to get my vehicle fixed/repaired since February of this year when I received a recall notice (W09) through the postal service. I was told in February the part was not available yet for the dealer to obtain but I would be notified when it was available. I have called the dealer frequently since then to determine the status of the part and to have my vehicle fixed and received the same reply. Approximately three months ago when I called the dealer (yet again), the dealer informed me they would order the part and they would notify me when it arrived. I have repeatedly called this dealer since then to ask if the part had arrived. After three phone calls I was pointedly told I would be notified when the part had arrived. It is December of 2021 now and the recall on my vehicle remains unfixed. This morning I searched for this recall on the NHTSA website and found, "The interim repair is to remove the emblem and the emblem retainers from the driver airbag." This interim remedy was never mentioned nor completed by this dealer. I was never made aware until my search this morning there was an interim remedy. Since receiving this recall in February I have been minimizing the use of this vehicle, restricting its use to in town driving only until it could be fixed. I am fortunate to have another vehicle at my disposal but others in my situation may not be so fortunate. If the delay in supplying the required parts is due to the manufacture then I highly doubt the FCA statement, "...but are sincerely concerned about your safety", as cited on their safety recall letter. If the delay is due to the Diepholz Chrysler dealer in Paris Illinois, then I am of the opinion this dealer has failed or is unable to remedy this defect within a reasonable time period. If the NHTSA is able to get this dealer to make the required fix/repair, then the NHTSA is far better than I could ever hope to be.

I have a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan that is in mint condition. I brought my van to a dealership for a repair. There was also a recall for the driver side airbag. The issue is 14 people have been injured by the plastic emblem that has become loose and can become a projectile in the event of airbag deployment. The tech said the recall has them remove the emblem on the steering wheel and they don't replace it with anything. Most people decline it because they don't like the way it looks. I told him I did not want this recall performed on my car until Chrysler has a better fix. Unfortunately, the tech forgot to take the work order for the recall off in the computer and they removed the emblem anyway. Also scratched the leather on the steering wheel when they were prying the emblem off. You can imagine my horror when I picked my car up and found that a decorative trim piece was ripped off. No replacement of any kind, just an open gape with holes where the emblem used to be on the steering wheel. Very noticeable!! this is unacceptable and I want to put it out there that Chrysler lied in their press release on July 14, 2020. This is what they said...Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge.. at this time there is no fix! there is no redesigned cover! don"T have a recall if you don't have a fix for damage to your customers car! called Chrysler and they still have no fix for this. What! way to stick it to your customers! they don't have any more lawsuits but leave the car owner with damage to their car. What if I wanted to sell my car" this devalues it! thanks Chrysler!! I want to know if the CEO, Mr. Manley, of Chrysler would appreciate me going in his car and removing a decorative piece of trim or emblem with no regard for how it makes the car look" you know it would not be ok!

While in motion, the electrical system and engine will suddenly turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. This happens with no warning while driving at highway speed on the highway. This has happened multiple times. I have no choice but to drive it this way.

I was involved in a low speed frontal crash on an interstate highway. I was belted in and didn't even touch the airbag, but the airbag shot flames out of the right side hole burning my arm like a blowtorch. I have photos of the injury and it's healing stage. I was advised to go to the hospital for stitches as it split my arm open wide, but I'd been there 5 times in the last 8 months and just dressed it myself. The airbag is supposed to help prevent injury and it was the only thing that caused an injury!
