I was not notified that my Patriot was under a major safety recall. I contacted Chrysler Corp. And was given the run around. I finally was put into a rental that I did not have to pay for ( I had to pay the first week because they refused to pay for it at first) and as of now my car is sitting in my garage with a full tank of gas, brand new transmission and brand new tires. There is no fix and I have been in a rental for about two months. I feel this recall is bigger then they are leading on and that there will not be a fix. I do not know what to do. I am extremely upset that I have been driving this care for over three years with my children in it and the possibility of the safety system not working terrifies me. Please let me know what I can do about this. I am at a loss of words. Side not: My drivers air bag malfunctioned a few months ago when I was driving it. This was before the recall and if I did not purchase a warranty I would have paid out of pocket.
