2012 Chrysler 300 airbag problems

AIR BAGS

The air bags were replaced in my vehicle due to a recall. Now my air bag light is on and the buttons and horn do not work. The airbag clock spring is broken. The air bags were replaced by the dealership. Should the clock spring be replaced covered due to this issue?

recall notice for passenger air bag was sent three years ago. Vehicle was brought to dealership and held for a week to replace air bag. Vehicle was returned with air bag NOT replaced. I was told to wait for a call when they receive more air bags and they would schedule for replacement. As of today, three years later, I am being told the air bags are still not available for purchase or replacement under recall.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHEN SITTING/NOT SITTING ON PASSENGER SEAT. APPEARS THE SEATS CONNECTION TO AIRBAG IS FAULTY. NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY (SOON AFTER PURCHASED) THEY SAID SOMETHING WAS UNDER THE SEAT MESSING WITH AIRBAG CABLES. NOW LIGHT APPEARS WHEN NOTHING IS UNDER THE SEAT. LIGHT COMES AND GOES BUT MOSTLY STAYS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING IN CAR WHILE WARMING UP. AFRAID AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRING IN SEAT.*DT*JB*DT

THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT WORK DESPITE HAVING BEEN TAKING INTO THE DEALER THREE (3) TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS /SERVICING SINCE APPROXIMATELY NOV, 2018. THE DEALER EVEN HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION DURING XMAS, 2019 AND SUPPOSEDLY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM DURING THE "SEVERAL" TIMES THEY TRIED. IN REALLY SLICK, SNOWY CONDITIONS, THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT WILL COME ON, BUT ONCE I'VE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, IT DOESN'T COME ON AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT SLICK, SNOWY EVENT. THE DEALER'S ONLY SUGGESTION IS NEW TIRES WHICH DOESN'T HELP IF THE FRONT TIRES WON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE. WHEN THE AWD ISSUE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DIFFICULT TO START WHEN TAKING OFF. PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS, THEN STAYED OFF FOR 1-2 DAYS. NOW IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY (WHETHER IN PARK OR DRIVE). THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY SINCE FEB, 2020. THIS WAS TAKEN IN AND REPAIRED FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL IN APPROXIMATELY JAN, 2019

JUST BOUGHT A 2012 CHRYSLER 300 BASE MODEL ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITANT . IT STAYS ON FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE. ONCE IT STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT ALWAYS GOES OUT. CAR RIDES FINE. JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS A FREE FIX AT DEALER. IT WOULD COME ON MORE WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN I STOP THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT SHORTLY AFTER.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD AN AIRBAG INDICATOR THAT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD OF MY VEHICLE AND I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL OF MY AIRBAG. I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DID GO BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHY THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE INDICATOR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DECIDED TO DO A BIT OF RESEARCH BECAUSE I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE INDICATOR WAS STILL ON. UPON RESEARCHING THE INDICATOR LIGHT, I DID READ THAT IF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SERVICE MANAGER WHO ADVISED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY COULD RESOLVE UNLESS I PAID A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $120 AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW AT THAT POINT WHY IT WAS ON. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG AND THERE IS A RECALL WHY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I FEEL THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. YET I NOW MUST EITHER PAY OR HOPE THAT I DO NOT HAVE A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AIRBAG HAS A RECALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT'S A MAINTENANCE INDICATOR BUT IT'S AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT PUTS THE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. I NEED TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN JEOPARDY.
