Takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 300. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V352000 (air bags). The part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 300. While driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled and the battery warning light illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the alternator was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 67,000. Updated 08/17/16 the dealer also replaced the battery. Also, the air bag light was on. Updated 10/19/16.
Airbag warning light comes on and chimes randomly. It may come on as soon as car is started and not chime again, or chime and light up half dozen times in five miles. I have had the dealer's mechanic look at it two or three times. It might go away but come back afterwards. Motor vehicle is stationary when just cranking up and light/chime occurs. This also happens when car is in motion. There is no discernible patter to these occurances.
While on highway, my radio turned off and vehicle went into battery saving mode. As I proceeded to exit the highway, the interior and exterior lights started to flicker. I went to autozone and the car barely made it there. The car smelled like if something was burning under the hood. One of the attendants checked my battery and said the battery was drained, I had them recharge it. I had to get the car towed since the car was inoperable. I picked up the battery this morning and turned the car on, and all the electrical system started to flicker so I just turned of the car. I read in to the vehicles recalls and I noticed that recall #P6O is exactly what my car was doing last night. I called Chrysler today and they refuse to fix it due to my car not being affected by this recall but it obviously has been. Is there anything that I can do to make my car part of this recall" if so what steps can I take to make this happen" this is a safety issue that could of caused an accident and or multiple accidents since I was on the highway when this issue started, if not for my quick thinking the car could of stalled in the middle of the highway. I should also mention that while the electrical system began to fail it was extremely difficult to brake. On another note, the air bag light turns on and off all the time. I am afraid if we have an accident that the air bags won't deploy.

The vehicle was repaired; however, a few months later, the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 300. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Vehicle has suffered failure of the air bag system on three separate occasions. The air bag light comes on intermittently for a period of weeks until it stays on permanently until repaired by the dealership. The first two times the dealership has said that the part replaced is the same as indicated on recall 13V118000, yet, my VIN does not apply to the recall. The current failure has not been duplicated by the dealership and thus they refuse to fix it. Further, the light was on the day prior to bringing it in for service, on 9/22, yet the dealership found no codes. They state that any time the light comes on, a code is stored that is not cleared until the battery is removed or the code is cleared by their diagnostic tool. Thus the finding of no codes stored is troubling, as there would be no discernible evidence in the event of a crash as to why the airbag system was failing prior to the accident. Chrysler has already repaired the issue twice under extended warranty, and I have paid the deductible for the repairs each time. They continue to repair the airbag system with faulty parts.

Our vehicle was involved in a two vehicle collision. The entire front on my car was smashed, with the hood pushed up into the windshield, breaking the glass into pieces that were visible on the interior dashboard. Not a single airbag deployed. My neck and left acl were both injured in the collision. I was told that Chrysler will not be held accountable for their defective airbag sensors because I did not suffer more serious injuries. My 7 month old infant was in a fairly expensive 5-point-harness carseat, which possibly saved his life. Chrysler needs to be held accountable for their defective airbag sensors before someone loses their life due to Chrysler's poor sensory designs.

Vehicle was recalled for notification # P60. Dealer has not yet called us for the fix. I have called several times and they say the parts are not in. We received the first recall Feb. 2, 2015 and the second today March 16, 2015. No response from dealer..

I purchased a "certified pre-owned" Chrysler 300S on 02/14/14. From the beginning I had to go to the dealer in numerous occasions due to too many electrical issues, including air bag light, seat belt alarm that will go off when nothing or nobody will be on the passenger seat. I had to take a video with my phone while driving for them to see that I was not lying and that there was an issue with the air bag light. Finally they changed something there and at the same time disconnected the alarm for the seat belt so it wouldn't go off. We asked several times if this may be a safety issue and they told us it was not. The car also has a rear shade that has to be repaired already once during warranty, and a second time when I had to pay for its repair. It is not working again since more than a month ago. The hands free system is also not working, and it has not worked right from the beginning. I had complained to them that my phone was not connecting all the time and they kept saying it was the satellite, the phone, etc. Now of course it doesn't work at all and I will have to pay $100 just for diagnostic. I called their 800 number for the certified preowned customer service and they said it is the hands-free module that needs to be replaced. This is also a very important safety feature I need working. I commute more than 53 miles every day and have conference calls while on the road. The rear view camera is also not working right. It works intermittently and again, this was an issue we mentioned to the dealer while the car was under warranty and they always had an excuse why that was happening. This again is also a safety feature important for the safety of the car. This car has too many problems that should not be happening to a car that was certified by the company to be in excellent conditions and that a year and 5 months later is in worst shape than my 8 year old magnum.
