I received a letter informing me about this safety recall in October 2016. As of yet there is no fix and this is my only vehicle for transportation as of now. This is unacceptable and taking too long for such a safety recall.

I received a important safety recall from Fiat Chrysler automobiles for a faulty occupant restraint controller in my vehicle. I called Chrysler customer care and was told that at this time there is no known fix for the problem. I was also told that there have only been five cases of injury out of the thousands of car owners with this problem. I was told that there is a chance that injury could ensue but it was unlikely. I have the right to not put my family in danger and would like to have my car bought back. It is unsafe to drive my vehicle and need assistance in getting this problem remedied as soon as possible so me and my family can safely drive on the highway.
