Recall number: 13V-233 and recall number: 16V-668 call dealer to have the recalls fixed, and they took my information saying they would call, but they never did. Now the problem has kept me from having the registration up dated. Resulting in getting thickets for driving with expired tags.

I am making a compliant to your company about my airbags and seat belt pretension. I received a recall notice in July 2017 and went online to find out how and where to get the recall issue handled. While online I was informed that the parts needed to correct my seatbelt and airbag problem was not in. I applied to receive an email to inform me of when the part(s) needed to correct this issue would be in. I was given a reference number since 7/24/17 and I have not received anything on getting my car repaired. I drive this car daily and would like to know when it will be repaired. My feelings of safety or constantly been tested as I have to travel daily and this is my source of transportation. I feel that 6 months has been long enough to wait for something to be done. Your company has not addressed this issue in a timely manner and no updates have been emailed or sent to me. I believe that for some reason I have been overlooked. I am still awaiting the parts needed with a list of available dates to get serviced in my community. Very disappointed in how this situation has been handled. I have not been in an accident or had any serious issues with my vehicle. I am making this complaint because I feel that you as a company has neglected to fulfill your duty and provide me with the safety measures deserving of a consumer.

Safety recall S61- to replace orc. In my vehicle it has already been inspected and the module has internally failed. I fear for my safety driving my vehicle with my child, knowing already that my airbags and seatbelts will not deploy in the event of an accident. Chrysler has no idea when the part will come in and so we just have to "hope" I do not get into a car accident prior to then according to Chrysler.

  • 76,000 miles
I was not notified that my Patriot was under a major safety recall. I contacted Chrysler Corp. And was given the run around. I finally was put into a rental that I did not have to pay for ( I had to pay the first week because they refused to pay for it at first) and as of now my car is sitting in my garage with a full tank of gas, brand new transmission and brand new tires. There is no fix and I have been in a rental for about two months. I feel this recall is bigger then they are leading on and that there will not be a fix. I do not know what to do. I am extremely upset that I have been driving this care for over three years with my children in it and the possibility of the safety system not working terrifies me. Please let me know what I can do about this. I am at a loss of words. Side not: My drivers air bag malfunctioned a few months ago when I was driving it. This was before the recall and if I did not purchase a warranty I would have paid out of pocket.
