Air bag stays on. I took to dealer in fairbanks, ak. Was told there's a recall but no remedy yet. However, they could fix it for $1,000. Since I did not choose to pay $1,000, they made me sign a form indicating I'm aware that the airbags may not deploy in an accident. How is it they can fix it if I fork over $1,000 but not able to as a recall? so now I'm going drive for months until they get a remedy just like the hitch problem. Both of which are serious safety issues.

Recall 15V-046 it has been 7 months with no remedy in sight. This recall should be added to the NHTSA suit against Fiat Chrysler automotive. We are driving potential time bombs as the air bag could deploy at any given moment causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, not only harming the occupants but also other people nearby.the NHTSA has a duty to push this manufacturer to make these repairs a top priority or get these vehicles off the road.
