Took car in to dealership years ago to have head rest and airbags fixed. Received a notice by inputting my VIN that these fixes were incomplete. Also discovered that the 3.6 pentastar engine from the factory had substandard engine bearings which could result in the engine seizure and the remedy was for the factory to replace the engine. My 2012 Chrysler 200 was manufactured during this time frame, yet was never notified by the manufacturer of this dangerous condition.
I had the seatbelt fixed due to recall but I almost got into accident as I could not pull the seatbelt. I felt like it was choking me. The second problem which is the current. I have been experiencing when you start up the car there are times it will start right away and there are times that I have to try it to start between 3 or 5 times. Brought the car to the mechanic 3 times in 2 weeks.. I have a brand new battery, not even a year old alternternator, spark plug is also new, brake is new and another parts was replaced which cost me $300. Today, December 19, 2019 I brought my car to the mechanic to have the problem diagnosed but on the 13 detected none of it has error.. please help me. I already spent so K in money to get it fix. I don't know what else the problem. Been to two mechanics and both of them can't find the problem. I can't afford to go back and forth to the mechanics and I am still making payments to the car. Please help!

Takata recall. November 13, 2016 I received vis usps a recall for the occupant restraint controller. Today is September 4, 2017...thats 10 months and still nothing has been done.
Takata recall unknown my car stalled out on the side of the road and I left it there to be picked up by my mechanic the next morning. I found out the next day that my car had been crashed and I went to the tow yard where the vehicle had been taken to retrieve my personal items from the vehicle and noticed that my airbags did not deploy. My car has been considered a total loss by geico car insurance. Geico claim number [xxx]. I still have my title, it is a rebuilt one. Geico has been taking their sweet time to reimburse me for my vehicle. The actual accident occurred on April 25th, 2017. The police report is inaccurate. Today is August 30th, 2017 and I'm still waiting on a check. The tow yard has apparently become the lienholder so I've been told and geico has to pay them off before they can pay me? I don't know it's crazy. There would be no lien if geico had handled this in a timely manner. I have had to come out of pocket to purchase a cheap car in the meantime while I wait. I have just recently received emails from carfax saying that my car may be at risk of being recalled so I put in my VIN number ([xxx]) and it says that my Chrysler 200 2012 is a S61. However, I was aware the passenger seatbelts were locked but I was still able to wrap the driver's belt around me. Furthermore, I've had numerous headlight issues in both headlights and the ac eventually stopped working. There was also a check engine light on that could not be turned off. I spoke with Chrysler and they told me nothing can be done as far as reimbursement at this point because I have no possession of the vehicle. However, the title is still in my name and the possession issue is geico's fault. I am looking for some type of justice in this situation it could have been me in the crash. I am [xxx] and it says under federal law that my vehicle can be replaced. #16V-668 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
