Door panels are separating from all interior doors. Separating has caused issues with doors locking and airbag deployment. This is an issue the manufacturer has been aware of for years yet still manufactures cars with this issue. Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. Issue is so common that replacement parts, which are not covered by manufacturer's warranty and can cost anywhere from $1000+ per door, are backordered.
Passenger door panel warping. Large gap between panel and window. This will eventually affect the window functioning, as well as the air bag. This is dangerous and can be life threatening.
Both front door panels severely warped to the point of Cracking and causing the door locks to bind and to also cause the possibility that side air bags may not deploy as designed or deploy prematurely.

My door panels are peeling away from the area where the trim and window meet on my driver side and passenger. Upon research, I've discovered this is an issue going back ever since 2014 with Chrysler and Dodge vehicles Upon further research, this issue can lead to issues with side air bags not being able to possibly be deployed (I have not experienced this),driver & passenger window being affected by heating and cooling of the AC (I've experienced this with my windows not being able to adequately defrost fast enough, as well as my windshield), and issues with the doors automatic locks not locking. Hundreds of thousands of Chrysler & Dodge owners have experienced this and evidence can be found online, especially in forums - in particular Mopar Forums and Reddit. My vehicle hasn't been inspected by Police, Insurance, Manufacturer in particular to this issue, as I've discovered there's nothing can be done since I'm out of warranty and refuse to pay for this. No warning lamps of that nature have illuminated. This has been an issue since late 2018, early 2019 for me. I've owned my vehicle since May 2018.
Door panels Peeling away at the seams. Doors won't lock properly and Reports of it affecting side airbags. This is happening on all 4 doors of my vehicle.
After a recall was performed on 6/11/19 (U08) car started skipping sporadically upon acceleration. This lead to it stalling altogether sporadically upon accelerating from a stop. The dealer (autonation Chrysler Jeep pembroke pines) has not been able to reproduce the problem after 3 weeks and, because it does not show up in the computer, the dealer says it's like it hasn't happened. They have no idea of how to repair my car. It is still at the dealer. I have shown them a photo of the error message on my dashboard: Shift to P then desired gear, and a video of the gearshift blinking in drive position. The only way the car will move when this happens is after I place the car in park and then back in drive. This is very hazardous as I am in traffic when this happens at a stop sign or stop light (especially in left turn lane). I do not drive on the expressway because of a fear of having to stop all of a sudden, and the car stalling. I have already experienced it skipping while on the expressway, which was scary. The dealer said they had sent a starcase to Chrysler to assist in the repair, but when I contacted Chrysler, they said no starcase has been filed. Even if the dealer is able to reproduce the problem, there will be no record of it in the computer. I believe the computer problem needs to be address, as well as the stalling hazard.
Air bags didn't deploy, had an accident on Aug.28th 2019./damaging right front bumper & right side quarter panel.is this normal or is it a defect. Because I'm so glad I didn't have my kids or no one else in the car. But my dr did indeed had an wheeplation that I had damaged my left side solstice nerve.
I was in a front end collision with a tree. Everyone kept asking me about air bags deploying. They did not none. I thought nothing much of it until I realized why people were asking. I questioned the adjusted, he stated they should have deployed they should have deployed from the impact position. Well none did. And something about the seat belt locking or didnt lock.. my first real accident I dont know my H. however I did find out there is a issue. Now I'm on the questioning side of why didnt they deploy.
A/C blowing warm air. Car is only 3 years old. Told I would have to take it to dealer and pay $135 for a diagnostic plus what it would cost T repair and re-charge system. I have another car that is 20 years old and the A/C still works. I feel this is a defect in the car and I shouldn't have to pay for it.
The rotary shifter functions in a manner that when exiting the car it will allow you to leave the vehicle while in gear as when pushing the start button will not turn off the engine unless it is in park, it is easy to forget or otherwise notice the vehicle is still in gear and running when exiting the vehicle, it happened to my wife and could have caused more harm than what actually happened as it was stopped by a truck parked ahead of her!
I was told that the A/C evaporator unit is not working and needs to be replaced. Service advisor at hemet Chrysler also stated that Chrysler sent out a part bulletin on this part since they are known to fail, that Chrysler will be replacing the part at the end of year with new part. This is my third Chrysler vehicle that is having the same issue. I currently own 2015 Dodge charger, 2015 Dodge durango, and 2016 Chrysler 300S that I'm having issues with. I did contact Chrysler for some assistance since it's a $2700 repair since my vehicle is no longer under warranty and since I'm having the same issue in all three cars. Their needs to be a recall for this part since I think they know of heir A/C units are failing.
Went the dealer, they replaced a part. It didn't fix it but made it worse. Toke it back but Chrysler refused to fix it. Stating that it was not too bad.
